Eventually, Yu Xi brought over the hot water, clean towels, and change of clothes that Jian Yiling wanted.

“Yu Xi, you do it,” Zhai Yunsheng ordered in a cold voice.

“Master Sheng, I’m sorry!” Yu Xi said as he quickly put down the items and fled out of the room like his life depended on it.

Not only did Yu Xi run fast, but he also remembered to close the door of the room as he left.

When Zhai Yunsheng saw Jian Yiling holding the towel, he closed his eyes in pain.

It was as though what was going to happen next was a matter of immense shame for him.

If it was two years ago, he would not mind letting Jian Yiling see his body.

However, his body was now thin and unpleasant to look at.

Jian Yiling’s actions were very slow and gentle. It seemed like she was afraid of hurting him with her movements.

She treated him very carefully as though she was handling a precious piece of porcelain.

‘When the hot towel came into contact with Zhai Yunsheng’s back, Zhai Yunsheng’s body shivered slightly.

He did not sce Jian Yiling shedding tears as she rubbed down his back.

In the past, Jian Yiling would not typically cry.

However, whenever she looked at Zhai Yunsheng’s body, for some reason, tears would spring out of her eyes.

It turned out that she was really the crybaby that Brother Yumin said she once was. It was just that she hadn’t met people and things that could make her cry before this.

HHH

In the night, Jian Yunmo and Li Zhuojia arrived together.

Along with them, Wen Yan was also there.

To everyone’s surprise, Wen Yan who had been seated in a wheelchair two years ago could already walk. However, he still needed the support of a walking cane.

In contrast, Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling were now the ones in wheelchairs.

On the way here, Jian Yunmo tidied himself up. He did not want Jian Yiling to see his previous state.

However, he still looked much thinner than before.

‘When Jian Yunmo saw Jian Yiling, he stared at her for a moment.

Then, he embraced her into his arms for a long time.

“I’m sorry Brother Yunmo.”

“Don’t be silly. You don’t need to apologize to me. I know that these two years would have been incredibly difficult for you. You would have tried your best to return to us. Whilst we were waiting for you to come back, you would have missed us as well.”

Jian Yunmo did not know what had happened to Jian Yiling in the past two years. He did not know why she had disappeared for so long. However, Jian Yunmo knew that his sister must have encountered something that prevented her from coming back home.

“Brother Yunmo…”

“The fact that you’re okay is the best gift to me.”

There were no words to describe the joy he felt right now.

“Brother Yunmo, I need your help,” Jian Yiling said. She could catch up with him later, “I found a way to save A Sheng. I need you guys to help me.”

In Jian Yiling’s heart, there was nothing more important to her than Zhai Yunsheng’s health.

Zhai Yunsheng’s life was more important than being overjoyed in reuniting with her family.

“Now that you’re back, he has the courage to continue living,” Jian Yunmo said.

“Mhmm, but when his heart encounters negative emotions, problems will arise.”

“Did you find out what’s wrong with his heart?”

“Mhmm, Originally, we assumed that his heart’s structure prevented him from withstanding a rapid heartbeat and emotional excitement. However, this isn’t the case. Rather, as long as he isn’t experiencing negative emotions, even if he’s running or fighting, his heart can beat normally. Those actions are

not dangerous for him. And thus, his heart isn’t different from everyone else’s in terms of its ability to withstand a faster heartbeat. It’s just that there’s something else that it can’t handle.”

“Then what did you discover?”
