In the night, when everyone fell asleep and it was silence everywhere, Nixxxie went to Jiang Yang. She couldn’t get the chance to talk to him the whole day as he was busy with his work and she was busy looking after others.
Nixxxie entered his cabin without knocking on the door, thinking he must be resting and she might disturb him. Jiang Yang was sitting in his chair while leaning back in it with his eyes closed.
She went to him but didn’t disturb him. Making sure he was sleeping, she turned to leave, but Jiang Yang held her hand. He sensed her presence the moment she entered the room and when she was observing him while standing in front of him just a few inches away; he was aware of it too.
Jiang Yang kept looking at her as if she was what he needed at that moment.
Nixxxie didn’t know what to say to him as no word felt right to console him. The whole day he was just working like crazy, but not even once she saw him crying. ’How hard it must be to act strong when you are in pain’, she thought.
Not saying anything, Nixxxie went closer. Caressing his hair and cheeks with the care she hugged him, she was standing and he was sitting in his chair. Jiang Yang hugged her back while burying his face in her chest like a kid and she asked, \"Are you okay?\"
He shook her head as saying he was not okay. That caring hug from her gave him a feeling of peace, but at the same time, it made him burst into tears. Only he knew how he controlled himself all the time, but in front of Nixxxie he could let himself go.
Nixxxie let him cry without saying a word to console him. He cried like a child as if what he held back the whole day burst out at once. Seeing him crying, Nixxxie couldn’t hold back her tears too and she felt sad that there was nothing that she could do for him other than letting him cry.
Once he was calm, Jiang Yang let go of her and Nixxxie wiped his tears. She passed him a water bottle from his table. Accepting it, he quietly drank the water and said nothing for long.
\"You should rest as tomorrow you have to work again,\" she suggested and he nodded but he continued sitting in the chair.
Seeing, he had no intention of sleeping, Nixxxie held his hand to make him get up from the chair and took him inside the room. She took off his white apron and signaled him to lie down on the bed. As he did it, she covered him with the quilt.
\"I will take leave as I have to go back to your mother.\"
\"How is mom, now?\" He asked, lying down in bed.
\"She cried a lot after knowing Yuyan was expecting. Sleep now as they need you as a doctor tomorrow.\" Instructing, Nixxxie got up to turn off the light and then to leave, but Jiang Yang held her hand to stop her.
\"I don’t want to be alone,\" he said, looking at her.
Nodding lightly, she lied down beside him on the bed and hugged him. Jiang Yang fell asleep soon holding her as if he was a kid and she felt relieved to feel his even breathing which showed that he was sleeping soundly.

Lu Han came to Lu Mansion with a cremation urn, which police handed him over. He didn’t have the courage to mention it to anyone and decided to keep it at home for the time being.
Lu Feng was home while discussing Lu Lijun with An Tian and they saw Lu Han holding something in his hand and that something was really hurting.
Lu Han went to Lu Feng, his eyes teary. Seeing the thing in his hands, it didn’t take time for Lu Feng and An Tian to shed tears.
\"I don’t know what to do. I- I don’t have the courage to show it to anyone.\"
Saying Lu Han broke into the tears. Lu Feng took the urn from his hands and carried it to Lu Qiang’s room on the second floor. He kept it at his study table, where Lu Qiang spent most of his time in the room.
--------
The next day, everyone was waiting for Jiang Yuyan and Lu Jinhai to show some improvement in their conditions, but they got disappointed in the return. Jiang Yuyan regained her consciousness in between, but it was just for a few seconds when she ended up mumbling Lu Qiang’s name while shedding tears and fell unconscious again.
\"Till when will this continue? When would she wake up?\" Jiang Peizhi asked Jiang Yang.
\"Right now she is still in shock. It’s better for her to keep sleeping or she will just cry and scream. It’s not good as she just had surgery on her head,\" Jiang Yang replied.
Jiang Peizhi agreed to what his son said and asked, \"Did you know she was pregnant?\"
\"Hmm!\"
\"Did she.....\"
\"She got to know about it just the day before the accident.\" Jiang Yang knew what his father would ask.
Hearing it, Jiang Peizhi felt sadder for his daughter. All the bad things were happening with her at the same time and thought, for what kind of sin God was punishing her.
In the evening, finally, Jiang Yuyan woke up. Seeing the movement, the nurse called Jiang Yang. When Jiang Yang arrived, Jiang Yuyan looked at him with her teary eyes as she tried to get up, but there was no energy left inside her to even move comfortably.
Jiang Yang held her at shoulder, \"Don’t move,\"
She didn’t give up and said, \"B- Brother, I need to go to him. He must be in pain.\"
