The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 601 The Mafia King wakes up (1)

　　After a while resting on the couch, Lihua slowly got up with support and held her belly. She took a seat on the chair where she could comfortably lean on her back, especially prepared by Bojing.

　　She smiled as she stared at Wei. Qingqing was atop his chest, her eyes closed as she peacefully slept.

　　She recalled Bojing saying they did a few more modifications in the drug based on the reactions of his cells after the drug was injected into him. Half of it went over her head, but the verdict was that they felt more confident this time.

　　She remembered how much Bojing was beaming with joy. If this worked, then Jia and Wei's case studies could prove that it was possible to bring comatose patients into consciousness within a few months or so. It depended on their situation too, but their research brought more hope for the ones in comatose or vegetative state for years now.

　　Lihua held his hand and smiled. "Look, everybody is working so hard for you. Bojing hardly sleeps at night. Mingshen looks like he doesn't care, but he is the one actually ordering Bojing around to do this and that. I don't understand what they are doing, so I want you to make me understand all the hard stuff. You are the best teacher."

　　She slowly laid her cheek on the back of his hand and rested her head on it. "Everybody in the family is worried about you too. Mom is being strong and she doesn't cry, but Dad doesn't know for how long it will last. Grandma and Grandpa met after so long but how can they celebrate when their grandson is hurt? Everybody is waiting for you, Wei…"

　　She then placed his hand on her tummy. "They are also waiting for you. You know, I lied about choosing their names. I actually haven't decided any names yet. I want to do it with you. Now if you won't wake up, then how will we decide? And if you are not around by the time I give birth, then mind you, I will keep them nameless forever. That's not cool at all, but you don't leave me with any choice."

　　A while later as she talked some more, she yawned and felt drowsy. Her eyelids were heavy and she fell asleep on his hand just like that.

　　"Wei…Wei…Wake up…already…"

　　Time ticked by. The sound of the second hand moving from one place to the next echoed in the room. A few moments later, Qingqing opened her green irises and lifted her head as she narrowed her eyes.

　　She carefully watched Wei whose eyelashes were faintly trembling. Qingqing jumped down from his chest.

　　*Meow*

　　She nudged her nose on Lihua's forehead. But she looked to be dead asleep.

　　*Meowwww!*

　　Qingqing hissed and almost scratched her head.

　　Lihua jolted with widened eyes and woke up. "Huh? Huh?" She looked around in a daze. "Why does it hurt? Who is it?"

　　*Meow*

　　It's me, you dumb human!

　　Lihua looked down at Qingqing and furrowed her brows. "Qingqing, you are awake? Why? And hey! Why did you use your paws on me?"

　　She sniffled as she rubbed her forehead.

　　Qingqing turned her head towards Wei, and Lihua moved her head in that direction too.

　　What she saw next blew Lihua's mind off. She saw Wei's eyelashes trembling and a few seconds later, his hands were shaking as well. Then his chest started heaving, gasping for breath.

　　"Wei…Wei!" Tears pooled in her eyes. She couldn't stand so easily with her big belly, but her body shook, seeing Wei move in days.

　　"Qingqing…Wei is moving…he is moving."

　　Isn't that why I was waking you up?

　　"Bojing…Mingshen…I need to call them!"

　　She took the receiver hung beside Wei's bed and pressed a button. Bojing, who was working in the lab, picked it up.

　　As soon as he heard Lihua's breathless voice and message, he gasped and ran towards Wei's ward. He alerted Mingshen on the way and just like that, the whole family - both Jiangs and Yangs were on the way to Mingshen's lab.

　　Lihua was thrown out of the ward as soon as Mingshen came in.

　　"Out. We need to check what's happening."

　　"I want to be by his side!" She protested.

　　Jia pulled her back and shook her head. "Let them do their job."

　　Defeated, Lihua could only wait outside with Qingqing.

　　Jiang Yubi and Old Madam had tears in their eyes as they stared at the ward. "I cannot believe this…Wei showed a reaction after a month and a half. Doesn't it mean that Mingshen's treatment is working?"

　　Yang Bingqing furiously nodded. "Mingshen might be a sore in the eyes in other areas but as a doctor, he is the best!"

　　Jia's mouth twitched.

　　Didn hesitate to throw shade at her son at all…

　　—

　　Inside as Mingshen and Bojing worked to wake up Wei, they were pleased to see that the treatment was finally working as expected. The drug managed to stimulate the cells, making his brain wake up.

　　The rest was in their hands as they continued not to let Wei slip back to his comatose state again.

　　Wei was gasping hard and his eyes were slowly coming back to focus. He felt as if bolts of electricity were running down his arteries and veins. A flood of memories barraged his mind as soon as a thin thread of consciousness set in.

　　And once that consciousness set in, the first face that came to his mind was of Lihua's.

　　"Hua…"

　　Bojing said, "He is saying something."

　　Mingshen sneered. "Must be that dumb little chilly."

　　"Li…Hua…"

　　The sight before Wei was all hazy and blurry, but he felt as if he could hear Lihua's words in his ears. He felt his consciousness coming and going in an on and off cycle.

　　But once Lihua filled every corner of his mind, he fought to stay in consciousness. He recalled Jiang Zhen and how he took Lihua away from him. He remembered the painful separation of the months.

　　"Lihua..."
