"Ha ha, hello everyone! What a coincidence!"
The Old Dragon King forced a smile, awkwardly greeting the people in the ward.
But no one cooperated with his smile.
This made his laughter seem very awkward!
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I remember this is a VIP ward; besides doctors, nurses, and family members, others aren't allowed to enter freely!"
Su Zhirou's sharp gaze coldly stared at the Old Dragon King.
If they hadn't come at the right time today, her mother might have been in danger!
After all.
At a glance, this sneaky guy clearly doesn't seem like a good person!
If he were a good person, how could he sneak in and hide?
When it came to her mother, she couldn't help but get angry!
"I... I'm actually an acquaintance of your mother!"
The Old Dragon King was evasive, speaking ambiguously, and in the end, he didn't clarify anything, just wanted to brush it off with a simple 'acquaintance.'
But he had long lost the protagonist's intelligence-diminishing halo, so it was naturally impossible for him to easily convince others!
"I don't remember my mom having an acquaintance like you!"
"If you don't tell the truth, I'm going to call the police!"
"As an old man, being taken to the police station would make it known to everyone, and you'd lose face!"
Su Zhirou's gaze grew colder, and her hostility towards the Old Dragon King intensified.
Mu An squeezed her small hand to comfort her.
To be honest, this 'daughter tearing apart her biological father' scene was still somewhat interesting!
"I..."
Faced with his 'biological daughter's' relentless questioning, the Old Dragon King's face turned red with embarrassment.
Not to mention that his enemy was standing nearby.
Wasn't this just giving others a chance to laugh at him?!
"Enough pretending, I'm coming clean! Actually, I am your biological father!"
He didn't care about anything else and directly revealed this truth.
Soon, the hospital room fell into silence.
Su Zhirou: ???
The girl had almost three black question marks popping up over her head.
She was shocked, but it was more due to the other party's shamelessness.
Just because you say you're my father, that makes you my father?
She could also claim to be a celestial fairy from the heavens!
"How about we call the police! And also notify the mental hospital!"
Su Zhirou said seriously to Mu An beside her.
As she spoke, she cast a sympathetic glance at the Old Dragon King.
As if to say: It's really too pitiful for someone of your age to have a mental illness!
Mu An nodded with a smile.
"Indeed, professional matters should be left to professionals!"
"It's not easy for an old man to run out from that kind of place! It's normal to talk nonsense in an unfamiliar environment!"
Old Dragon King: ???
This time, three black question marks were about to pop up over the Old Dragon King's head.
Run out from 'there'?
Where is 'there'?
He felt he might have been seriously offended!
And how was he talking nonsense?
He was clearly speaking the truth!
Why did no one believe him?!
So angry he was shaking!!!
"I'm not talking nonsense! Everything I said is true!"
The Old Dragon King argued.
"Ah yes, yes, yes, old man, everything you said is true! No one said you were lying!"
"You just stay here for a while, and someone will take you home soon!"
Su Zhirou replied perfunctorily.
Compared to that strange old man, she was now more concerned about her mother, who had just woken up.
"Mom, how are you feeling?"
At that moment, on the hospital bed, Su Zhirou's mother had already opened her eyes.
Her confused gaze gradually focused on her daughter's face.
She moved her lips, seemingly wanting to say something.
But perhaps she hadn't spoken for too long, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.
Even when she tried hard, she could only produce a hoarse voice, as if she wasn't quite used to it yet.
"Zhirou..."
"Mom, I'm here! I'm here!!"
Su Zhirou excitedly covered her mother's large hand, tears of joy rolling down her beautiful eyes.
She had been waiting and hoping for her mother to wake up from her slumber one day!
And now, her dream had come true!
Her mother had finally woken up as she wished!
Mu An stood quietly beside the girl, watching the touching scene of the mother and daughter reunion, feeling a lot in his heart.
"How long have I been lying here...?"
Su Zhirou's mother still looked a bit dazed, feeling as if she was still living in yesterday.
But as soon as she opened her eyes, she realized that the little girl who used to follow her around had now grown into a tall and graceful young woman!
It felt like a time warp!
"Ten years! Mom, you've been lying in bed for a full ten years!"
"Ten years...?"
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, as if it were a different world.
It was an indescribable feeling!
Su Zhirou's mother couldn't help but sigh.
"By the way, Mom, this is my boyfriend; he's the one who cured you!"
Su Zhirou smiled through her tears and hurriedly introduced her man to her mother.
The pride and happiness in her tone were almost overflowing!
As someone who had been through it, Su Zhirou's mother could naturally see how much her daughter loved this man.
But when she shifted her gaze to Mu An's face, she was also slightly surprised by his extraordinary looks.
What a handsome young man!
"Hello, Auntie! My name is Mu An, and I'm Zhirou's boyfriend!"
Mu An politely introduced himself.
"Good, good boy! Zhirou has caused you trouble!"
After taking a sip of the hot water Su Zhirou brought, her mother's voice improved a lot.
"There's no trouble at all! Taking care of Zhirou is what I should do!"
Mu An replied with a smile.
Su Zhirou's mother was very satisfied with this answer.
Although she had only interacted with this young man for a short time, she could tell he was a very responsible man!
Such a man was worthy of her daughter's lifelong trust!
Unlike her own... failure...
As if recalling something, Su Zhirou's mother looked a bit forlorn.
"Exactly! I'm so well-behaved! How could I cause trouble for Brother Mu An?!"
Su Zhirou couldn't help but tease.
In that moment of charm, Mu An couldn't help but glance over frequently.
The girl is indeed very well-behaved!
In every sense of the word!
He can wholeheartedly prove this!
"Okay, okay, okay, my precious daughter is the most well-behaved!"
Mother Su smiled as she stroked her daughter's head.
"Of course!"
Su Zhirou clung to her mother's arm and acted cute.
She had fantasized about such moment's countless times in her dreams!
Today, her wish finally came true! This made the girl feel as if she might faint from happiness!
Of course, she did not forget that all of this was brought to her by her man, Mu An!
