At this moment, although Lin Feng's Internal Energy had begun the subconscious self-repair process, his consciousness truly could not emerge; what he needed now was rest.
Perhaps he was really tired.
Lin Feng had not fallen from such a great height for the first time. For instance, last time, in order to save Dong Jie, he had jumped off a cliff while holding her. However, during that incident, Lin Feng was well-prepared; for example, he had already placed a Wingsuit in his magic ring at that time.
So, although that experience was dangerous, the outcome was not merely a coincidence. In fact, Lin Feng had known that things would unfold as he imagined. Therefore, that accident could be said to be not so unexpected.
This time, however, it was truly an accident. Who would have thought that a simple visit to Forest Park would result in a spaceship crash?
Thus, Lin Feng had to admit that he was really unlucky—unlucky to the point where he didn't know how to express it.
Lin Feng quietly fell asleep, and everyone could only watch him, hoping that he would wake up.
His friends, although gently urged out by Dong Jie, had not left.
Of course, Su Rong and Xiao Ling also stayed behind.
Su Rong had already woken up but remained lying in bed, watching Lin Feng in the adjacent bed.
Scenes related to Lin Feng gradually surfaced in her mind. She suddenly realized that since she met Lin Feng, it had always been her who troubled him while he did his best to help her. Yet she hadn’t even managed to assist him with anything small.
Su Rong's company was saved by Lin Feng; her daughter was saved by him as well. Now, Lin Feng lay there in a coma after saving both of them, and even the doctor could only tell them that whether Lin Feng would wake up depended on fate.
Suddenly, Su Rong noticed Dong Jie staring at her. The look in her eyes was something Su Rong could understand—complex and angry; she could even see the resentment in Dong Jie’s gaze.
But all of this, Su Rong had to bear. She understood Dong Jie’s gaze, and she even resented herself. She knew that it was because of her and Xiao Ling's burden that Lin Feng had to make such a great sacrifice. Perhaps if Lin Feng had only taken Xiao Ling, the little girl, and left, he would have been much more at ease.
At least, when they reached the ground, the weight pressing down on Lin Feng wouldn’t be increased by her presence.
Although Su Rong didn’t appear to be overweight, her height meant that she weighed over a hundred pounds altogether.
Dong Jie indeed harbored resentment towards Su Rong. Recently, Lin Feng hadn’t been visiting her often. She also knew that her continuous rejections made Lin Feng not want to see her as frequently as before. But she didn’t blame Lin Feng; she blamed fate for being so cruel. She was the kind of woman who brought misfortune. Even though Lin Feng didn’t believe it, she truly didn’t want to harm him. Although she loved him, she knew that there was no possibility for her and Lin Feng.
So now, Dong Jie had tried her best to position herself as Lin Feng’s sister. Perhaps this way, she could continue to spoil him in the role of an older sister, continue focusing on him, and then at certain moments, enjoy even a little bit of his affection; that would be enough.
And now, this woman in front of her didn’t even give her that opportunity, causing Lin Feng to lie here unconscious.
This was something Dong Jie could not forgive.
Despite being just a small-town woman running a little shop, and despite Su Rong being a big boss of a large company, Dong Jie simply could not forgive her; she hated her.
“Sister Dong, I know you hate me; I deserve it.” At this point, Su Rong felt utterly despondent and admitted it directly.
Dong Jie remained silent, only looking at Lin Feng and then continuing to gaze at Su Rong.
“Since you’re awake now, you should go home. Xiao Ling is very worried about you.” Dong Jie initially wanted to scold Su Rong a few times, but when she thought about how Lin Feng had become like this because he saved this woman, she didn’t dare to scold her anymore. Instead, she expressed her thoughts indirectly: I can take care of Lin Feng here; you should take your daughter home.
Although Dong Jie resented Su Rong in her heart, she understood that Lin Feng must have had his own reasons for saving Su Rong and her daughter at that time; it wasn’t because Su Rong forced him to do so. A daughter whom Lin Feng was so determined to save was someone Dong Jie still didn’t dare to scold.
Yes, Dong Jie didn’t dare.
"Sister Dong, I know you don't want to see me right now, but even if you hit me or scold me, please don't drive me away. Let me stay here and watch over Lin Feng, and do what I can for him, okay?" Su Rong naturally couldn't leave at this moment. She knew that if she walked away, her days at home would feel like years. As long as Lin Feng didn't wake up, her heart wouldn't be at peace.
"Alas, with Lin Feng in this state, what good would it do to hit or scold you? You might be able to endure it, but what about Xiao Ling? She's still so young. You fainted earlier, and you didn't see how heartbroken Xiao Ling was. With Lin Feng's life hanging in the balance and her mom fainting too, do you know the look in her eyes when she suddenly feels like she's lost all support?" Dong Jie looked at Su Rong and felt her heart soften. She wasn't the type to take advantage of others; seeing Su Rong like this made her speak up.
"Right, Xiao Ling! Where is Xiao Ling?" Su Rong suddenly realized that she had been so focused on worrying about Lin Feng that she had completely forgotten about Xiao Ling. She quickly asked and was about to get out of bed.
"Don't worry, Xiao Ling is someone Lin Feng risked his life to save. I would never neglect her. After all, she's still young. Maybe she cried herself to sleep or was scared; she's already asleep outside. There are a lot of people taking care of her," Dong Jie reassured Su Rong, having already arranged for Xiao Ling's care.
"Thank you, Sister Dong," Su Rong said sincerely as she felt relieved upon hearing Dong Jie’s words.
Dong Jie simply waved her hand; right now, besides Lin Feng, nothing else interested her.
Seeing this, Su Rong fell silent again. Watching Lin Feng showed no signs of waking up; she could only get out of bed. Another concern weighed on her mind—Xiao Ling.
This was her daughter whom Su Rong felt Lin Feng doted on greatly.
Outside the hospital room, Dong Jie saw that Xiao Ling was already asleep on a couch meant for family members of patients. Chen Xinni and Meng Li were sitting beside her, clearly having been focused on taking care of Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling was covered with a pink blanket at that moment.
Seeing this scene reassured Su Rong that Dong Jie hadn't lied to her, and she hurried over.
"Xiao Ling has fallen asleep, but just now she kept mumbling in her sleep, wishing for her brother Lin Feng to wake up soon," Meng Li said to Su Rong.
She knew that Su Rong was Xiao Ling's mother and that Lin Feng had sustained such serious injuries to save these two mothers and daughters.
"Thank you for taking care of Xiao Ling. Is this blanket from the hospital?" Su Rong forced a smile as she thanked the two.
Lin Feng still had not woken up, and her smile remained strained.
"No, this is my blanket from the hospital. I used it while on duty. I wanted to carry Xiao Ling to the duty room at the hospital to sleep, but she absolutely refused. I know she wants to wait for Lin Feng to wake up, so I could only bring the blanket here to let her rest a bit," Meng Li explained, realizing Su Rong had misunderstood.
"Well, anyway, thank you both. I'll take care of Xiao Ling now. I'll hold her and sleep here. Meng Li, right? Can we borrow this blanket for a little longer?" Su Rong continued, noticing that the blanket still belonged to Meng Li.
"Of course, I don't need it right now anyway. Feel free to use it," Meng Li replied, glancing towards Lin Feng's hospital room door.
...
At the hospital, everyone was waiting for Lin Feng to regain consciousness. Meanwhile, on the road heading out of the city towards Lin Feng's hometown, Li Zhong was driving and was almost at Lin Feng's home.
Throughout the drive, Li Zhong was not only focused on driving but also worried about Lin Feng's condition. He knew that Lin Feng was like a benefactor to him, and this time, this nearly invincible benefactor in Li Zhong's eyes was truly injured—severely injured.
This was what Li Zhong was genuinely concerned about. Of course, what worried him even more was Lin Feng's family.
He understood that with the news broadcasted by the television station, it would be hard for Lin Feng's family not to know about what happened.
Therefore, Li Zhong knew he had to hurry and make proper arrangements.
With that thought in mind, Li Zhong pressed down on the accelerator to speed up.
Finally, he arrived at the address Dong Jie had given him. He knew that Dong Jie and Lin Feng were from the same village.
When he arrived there, Li Zhong realized that Lin Feng had indeed come from humble beginnings. His hometown was just a simple bungalow, where a widow and her orphaned child lived—one being Lin Feng's Foster Mother and the other Lin Feng's Sister. Although they were not related by blood, their bond was even stronger than that of family.
After getting out of the car, Li Zhong ignored the curious stares from the villagers and headed straight for Lin Feng's home. He was eager to find out whether Lin Feng's family knew about his injury.
Despite his urgency, Li Zhong politely knocked on the door and called out, "Is anyone home?"
Lin Feng's old house didn't have a doorbell or anything of the sort, so he had no choice but to call out like this.
"Who is it?" A voice as sweet as a lark came from inside, and someone approached the door to inquire.
At first glance, although Li Zhong had already heard Tokyo Pond describe Lin Feng's sister's beauty, he was still taken aback.
Not only was her voice melodious, but her face was also stunningly beautiful, leaving Li Zhong quite astonished.
Of course, after just a moment of surprise, Li Zhong remembered the purpose of his visit. Moreover, this was Feng Shao's sister; he dared not stare too long.
"Oh, hello! I'm Li Zhong, a close friend of Lin Feng. I heard from Fengzi that I would be passing through here on business and he asked me to bring you some things. You must be Fengzi's sister, Lin Ling?" Li Zhong had already prepared his words before coming, so he naturally spoke them now. However, he was used to calling Lin Feng "Feng Shao," which made it a bit difficult to switch to "Fengzi" at this moment.
But in order to avoid any unnecessary trouble and to align with his phrasing, he could only refer to Lin Feng as "Fengzi."
