With that, they left, leaving the old man and his son standing in the courtyard. After returning to their room, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng poured a glass of water and drank it.

Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue also poured themselves a glass of water and the four of them sat around the square wooden table.

“I think there’s something wrong with the old man’s son!” Shu Ruyue said with a pout.

“Isn’t that obvious? We can all tell!” Wu Qinghe continued, “I took a closer look at this old man’s son just now. He looks upright, but he’s actually a shady person. Brother Luo Cheng, I think we shouldn’t wait until tomorrow. Let’s leave this afternoon!”

“No, let’s wait for the old man’s final decision! Don’t forget that if the old man hadn’t been around last night, there’s no telling what kind of situation we would be in now!” Li Xiaoran shook her head and objected, “We can’t forget his kindness!”

As soon as Li Xiaoran said this, Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue came back to their senses.

“That’s right. How could I have forgotten about this?!” Shu Ruyue said in frustration, “Actually, I’m just angry about the old man’s son. I forgot about the old man’s kindness to us!”

Wu Qinghe also looked guilty. He nodded as he said, ‘Yes, I was so angry that I forgot about the old man’s kindness to us. We really deserve a beating!”

With that, Wu Qinghe slapped himself twice.

Li Xiaoran naturally knew that these two people were not ungrateful. Speaking of which, these two people were quite simple-minded.

When Luo Cheng heard everyone’s words, he said, “Actually, there’s still something about her illness I didn’t say out loud! It’s very simple to drain the small amount of blood in her brain, but the thing is that she herself is unwilling to wake up!”

As soon as he said this, the other three looked at Luo Cheng.

“Actually, a person’s pulse can also reflect their survival instincts. Her pulse is stable. No matter what happens outside, it can’t stimulate her survival instincts. It’s as if she has already given up on living! To be honest, although the blood clot in her brain can make people fall into a coma, she definitely wouldn’t have stayed unconscious like now. Theoretically, she should be unconscious for a period of time and wake up for a period of time. In short, there should be times when she’s conscious. However, she hasn’t woken up at all, as if she has given up on this world!” Luo Cheng told them what he had discovered.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood something.

“Husband, do you mean that the blood clot in her brain actually can’t keep her in a coma? The real reason she’s in a coma is that she’s unwilling to wake up?”

“Yes, that’s what I mean!” Luo Cheng nodded and said firmly.

Everyone was stunned by these words.

“Oh my god, what kind of accident has happened to make her want to abandon her husband and stay unconscious?” Shu Ruyue couldn’t figure it out at all.

“I’m afraid only she herself knows the reason!” Wu Qinghe said.

Luo Cheng didn’t respond but looked at Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran shook her head at Luo Cheng.

Her ability was empathy. The woman was clearly hopeless, so how could she empathize with her?

Luo Cheng also felt that this was a difficult problem, so he could only sigh when he saw his wife shake her head.

However, there were no absolutes. Some things seemed difficult, but were actually very easy.

At noon, Li Xiaoran cooked again.

Although they didn’t like the old man’s son, everyone was grateful to the old man for saving their lives, so they still made a table of dishes.

The old man didn’t seem to have decided yet and was very silent while eating.

On the other hand, the old man’s son seemed to have a good appetite and ate a third of the dishes on the table.

The other party’s lack of table manners made the group feel queasy, so everyone ate very little.

Li Xiaoran had the habit of taking an afternoon nap. After eating, she washed the dishes and went to the room to take a nap.

Luo Cheng didn’t need to take an afternoon nap, but he was worried about Li Xiaoran’s safety, so he stayed by her side.

After sleeping, Li Xiaoran actually entered a dream!

Moreover, it wasn’t anyone else’s dream, but the woman’s.

After realizing that she had entered a dream, Li Xiaoran was a little confused.

“Aren’t you disheartened already? Why are you emotional now?” Li Xiaoran muttered in confusion.

“I feel disheartened because I’m sad. Sadness is also an emotion!” At this moment, a voice sounded.

When Li Xiaoran heard this voice, she turned around and saw the woman appear in front of her.historical

“You can see me?”

The woman nodded and invited Li Xiaoran to sit down.

“Did you pull me into your dream?” After sitting down, Li Xiaoran understood and asked.

Luo Cheng nodded at Li Xiaoran.

“I’m very conscious, so I can sense everything that’s happening outside. I want to wake up too, but I can’t!”

When Li Xiaoran heard the woman’s words, she was shocked.

“It’s not that you don’t want to wake up?”

The woman nodded and waved her hand. Li Xiaoran realized that her surroundings were no longer white, but full of spring vitality.

As Li Xiaoran looked at her surroundings carefully, she felt that they were familiar. When she saw the fruit tree filled with flowers at the back of the house, she immediately thought of something.

“This is the old man’s home! We live here now!”

“That’s right. This is my home! It’s also the place that made me like this!” The woman appeared beside Li Xiaoran.

“This place is very beautiful, especially the cherry blossoms on this tree!” Li Xiaoran looked at the cherry tree in front of her as she said happily.

“But it was under the cherry blossoms of this tree that my son actually wanted to kill me!” The woman said.

Li Xiaoran suddenly turned around and looked at the woman.

“Why is that?”

“I also want to know why. That’s why I tried my best to live and have been struggling on the brink of death so that I could wake up! I tried many ways, but I couldn’t wake up!” The woman said with a sad expression.

“I never expected my son, whom I raised myself, to harm me one day. I just want to ask why he did this!” The woman said with tears streaming down her face.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she sensed that something was wrong.

The old lady wanted to wake up, but Luo Cheng said that her pulse was very stable and she had no will to live.

How could these two contradictory situations be explained?
