Fortunately, at this moment, the door was pushed open.
A few doctors in white coats walked in, diverting Lin Xuan and Su Qingge's attention.
Leading them… was the director of this hospital.
Upon seeing Lin Xuan and Su Qingge in the ward, he hurriedly and eagerly stepped forward to greet them.
"Alright, Director. Let's get to the point! Please explain the old man's current condition in detail..."
"Understood, understood!"
"Chairman Su is now out of danger and has entered the observation period."
"Previously, due to excessive emotional agitation, the chairman's blood pressure suddenly spiked, triggering a series of bodily reactions that led to his coma and critical condition."
The director's expression turned serious as he began explaining Su Shengtian's condition.
"Although emergency treatment stabilized the chairman's condition..."
"However, the elderly man's blood vessels already have poor elasticity, with some narrowing and hardening, making recovery difficult after the blood pressure surge."
"This caused the chairman's cerebral blood vessels to spasm and rupture. With current medical techniques, we can only leave it to fate and hope for a miracle."
"Otherwise, the chairman... may remain in a vegetative state indefinitely..."
"........"
At this point, the director couldn't help but glance at Su Qingge, his eyes full of disbelief.
She had been diagnosed by him before—there was no hope of her waking up, and she was supposed to remain in a vegetative state for life.
At that time, Su Shengtian was furious upon hearing this. He firmly believed that his granddaughter would wake up one day and even insisted on finding a man to bring good fortune to her through marriage.
The director had scoffed at this~~~
If such feudal superstitions actually worked, why would doctors even be needed?
But to his utter shock...
In less than a month, Su Qingge actually woke up because of it!!!
This created a medical miracle, completely overturning his years of understanding.
This was freaking absurd!!!
On the other side, after hearing the doctor's diagnosis, Lin Xuan's face remained expressionless.
Because he was a man with cheats.
As long as he had enough "closeness points," the methods to wake up the old man were countless, okay...
Meanwhile, beside him, upon hearing the unfortunate news, Su Qingge felt her heart tremble as sorrow welled up.
Especially upon hearing that Su Shengtian would remain in a vegetative state, her face immediately filled with anxiety.
As someone who had experienced that dark period herself...
She understood all too well the agony of having a conscious mind trapped in the prison of darkness.
It was truly… a situation where neither heaven nor earth could help.
Apart from breaking down in despair and waiting for death, there was nothing else to think about.
Thinking of this, Su Qingge became extremely anxious and immediately sent out a question through AI voice input.
[Does my grandfather… have any consciousness right now?]
[Can he hear our conversation?]
…..
"He can't hear. Chairman Su's condition is quite special..."
"Right now, he is in a deep sleep-like state. Time has no meaning to him."
"If he ever wakes up, his memory may still be stuck at yesterday—like he just woke up from a nap…"
After hearing the doctors' diagnosis, Su Qingge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good..."
"A silver lining in a misfortune!"
Having experienced that terrifying "sleep paralysis" period herself, she understood far more than anyone else how horrifying it was to have her soul trapped in her body...
But if her grandfather had no awareness, at least he wouldn't be in so much pain.
In the time that followed, Su Qingge silently stayed by the old man's side, saying nothing.
After sending the doctors away, Lin Xuan naturally stayed by his wife's side.
[Lin Xuan, can you talk to my grandfather?]
[Maybe… this could help Grandpa wake up sooner.]
Su Qingge blinked her big eyes and sincerely requested Lin Xuan.
She felt that back then, she had only managed to hold on because someone kept talking to her.
That was how she had gradually endured in the endless darkness.
Even though the doctors said Grandpa had no consciousness… what if he did?!
Originally, she was the most suitable person for this…
But since her vocal cords hadn't recovered yet, using a cold mechanical voice wouldn't be appropriate, so she had to let Lin Xuan be her voice for now.
"Uh… this?!"
Lin Xuan's mouth twitched. If he were chatting with a girl, he could do it naturally and enjoyably.
But talking to an old man? Uh… what the hell should he even talk about?!
Their interests and hobbies were obviously worlds apart.
Plus, he didn't have much interaction with Old Master Su. Honestly, he was running out of words!
But seeing his wife's "pitiful and pleading" expression, what else could he do?
Could he say no? Even if he couldn't, he had to do it!
And how could a man ever say he couldn't?!
(￣_,￣).
"Grandpa Su, Qingge and I have decided."
"We will work together to expand the Su family so you can enjoy the happiness of having many grandchildren."
"Once Qingge fully recovers, we plan to have at least 12 children, one per year, to complete all 12 zodiac signs."
"......"
Su Qingge: "WHAT???????"
Are you crazy?!!!
I asked you to talk to my grandfather—what the hell are you saying?!
Just the idea of giving birth to your children is already too much…
And now you want 12, just to complete the zodiac collection? Are you treating this like stamp collecting?!!
This is way too much!
No matter how strong my body is, I can't handle that! I'm not a superhero!!!
Facing the girl's embarrassed and angry glare, Lin Xuan grinned and explained seriously.
"Qingge, what do you think Grandpa wants to hear the most?"
"Since we need to talk to him and wake his consciousness, we should say things he cares about the most."
"Do you think, for Grandpa, compared to topics like wealth and prosperity…"
"Isn't the thing he cares about the most having many grandchildren and a prosperous family?!"
"......."
This well-reasoned argument left Su Qingge completely speechless on the spot.
She had to admit...
Based on her understanding of her grandfather, he indeed had a strong obsession with his grandchildren.
Before she became a vegetative patient...
The old man would frequently urge her to get married, saying things like...
"Now that the Su family is dwindling, the responsibility of expanding the bloodline falls on your shoulders."
That made Su Qingge feel utterly disgusted at the time.
She had never entertained the thought of bearing children for a man.
Because she didn't believe there was any man in this world who could make her willingly have children for him...
"Speechless, aren't you?"
"That means we share the same opinion. So, do you agree with my 12 Zodiac Plan?"
"If you agree, Grandpa will definitely be delighted. He might even wake up on the spot."
Lin Xuan smirked mischievously, guiding her step by step.
[.....]
Glancing at her unconscious grandfather, the girl thought that agreeing wouldn't hurt.
After all, it was just words. The important thing was to stimulate Su Shengtian to wake up.
Su Qingge: [At most one. Twelve is too much, I can't handle it.]
Lin Xuan: "Huh? You can do it! The Su family desperately needs bloodline replenishment. I can work a little harder, don't feel bad for me. Grandpa Su must be thinking the same way!"
Su Qingge: [I think two is the limit. (Glares at Lin Xuan~~)]
Lin Xuan: "Too few, at least seven. That way, we can have the seven Calabash Brothers. Each will have a companion. The seven brothers sticking together won't get bullied."
Su Qingge: [Then why not just have 108 and form the Liangshan heroes? (Rolls eyes repeatedly~~)]
Lin Xuan: "Hey! That sounds reasonable. We can give it a try. I'll risk my life for a beauty—even if you drain me dry, I'll accept it. As a live-in son-in-law, passing on the family line is my destiny! Sigh~~~"
Su Qingge: [(╬◣д◢) Shameless! I have never seen such a brazenly shameless person!!!]
Lin Xuan: "Heh~ Well, today you just did!"
