Chapter 104: Visiting the Sick
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
He Wanyi was surprised, so she went to the hospital with He Wanning. He Wanyi would always tell anything she knew to Ning Yan. At the time when she recounted the matter to Ning Yan, he had been discussing things with He Wanzhou, so the latter also found out what happened to Xiao Rou. Since He Wanzhou came to be in the know, Yang Mukun naturally also found out. Thus, by the time He Wanyi and He Wanning arrived at the hospital, all of them had already come over.
He Wanyi looked at them, asking, “Why are you all here?”
“Why didn’t you tell us about it? Aren’t we friends?” Yang Mukun asked.
He Wanning didn’t bother to talk with them and went straight into the hospital. The crowd followed him in. When they appeared at the ward, Xiao Sa, who was standing in the corridor, was stunned. Why had they suddenly shown up here together…?
“Second cousin, why haven’t you been contacting me lately…” Just then, Yang Jingxian walked out of Xiao Rou’s ward, following which Yang Mukun immediately stopped to greet her. He called out, “Aunt~”
Yang Jingxian looked at the crowd with a twinkle of surprise in her eyes, but soon recovered her calm. “You’ve all come here? Oh, Kun is also here.”
The crowd greeted her. “Hello, Aunt Yang.”
Yang Jingxian smiled and replied, “Hello.”
All of them proceeded to have a talk with Yang Jingxian except for He Wanning, who stood aside and asked, “Aunt Yang, may I see Rourou right now?”
Yang Jingxian froze for a moment before giving a nod. “Okay. Please keep quiet.”
They entered the ward only to see a girl lying on the bed, who was pale yet still as beautiful as a fairy. They really felt sorry for her. He Wanyi pursed her lips. Although she had only met Xiao Rou once, she remembered how lively and energetic she was during the last time they met, but now she was lying motionless on a sickbed.

Xiao Jing came in at this time, looking sullen. “Rourou is very weak right now. Please come out.”
Hearing this, the crowd walked out to the corridor. Xiao Jing said to He Wanning, “Rourou is currently in a coma and no one knows when she will wake up. So I think if you’re in a hurry to shoot the TV commercial, you can find a new model. Of course, we’ll pay the liquidated damages.”
He Wanning looked in the direction of Xiao Rou’s ward and asked with a frown, “How long has she been in a coma?”
Xiao Jing answered frankly, “She’s been like this since Monday. We thought she would wake up in two or three days, but the doctor said she might need a miracle to wake up.” Xiao Jing frowned and continued, “We’ve been waiting for a miracle, but it hasn’t happened yet.”
Ning Yan asked with knitted brows, “How did she become like this?”
He did hold a prejudice against Xiao Rou in the beginning; however, after chatting with Xiao Rou that night, he had changed his opinion on Xiao Rou. He had agreed to shoot the TV commercial for He Wanning because he wanted to see how capable she was, but he didn’t expect for her to have an accident.
He Wanning replied, “We’ll see about it later. I only want Xiao Rou. I don’t think the other models are competent enough for the job.”
“But isn’t your TV commercial going to be shot the day after tomorrow?” Xiao Jing frowned. “Will the other senior management members of OLS agree?”
Besides, He Wanning had said that the Magic Butterfly series perfume had to be launched in advance, so the TV commercial had to be shot and released in advance too.
He Wanning pursed his lips and said, “Let’s wait for some time. I’ll try to work out a way. Xiao Rou has always been a person of promise. What if she wakes up tomorrow?”

Nobody said anything to refute him, but none of them believed He Wanning’s words, because Xiao Rou would have long woken up if she could, but she had yet to wake up…
“Didn’t you say Xiao Rou fell down some stairs in the hospital?” He Wanzhou suddenly asked. “Why did she come to the hospital?”
“Xiao Yao had a car accident and was sent to the hospital. She was going to rush over to the hospital when she heard about it, and she was in such a hurry that she tripped,” Yang Jingxian answered. “But she fell down the stairs at home, not in the hospital.”
He Wanyi was shocked, while Ning Yan asked, “Xiao Yao had a car accident? Was the accident serious?”
“Very serious. He’s still in the next ward,” Xiao Jing replied with a frown. “He’s unable to get up. This is the first time I’ve seen Yao so weak.”
He Wanyi didn’t speak, but she couldn’t help but walk towards the ward. Xiao Yao, whose forehead was covered with sweat because of the pain in his body, heard them talking outside but he had no strength. Hearing someone push the door open, he opened his eyes and looked at the group with a frown, saying, “There you are.”
Seeing his cousin so weak, Yang Mukun tutted and said, “Are you guys…”Cursed… Realizing what he had been about to say, Yang Mukun swallowed the word back and said, “Yao, you’re really unlucky! You’re so good at driving. How could you have a car accident?”
“I was in a hurry to catch a flight,” Xiao Yao replied expressionlessly, then asked, “why are you all here?”
He Wanzhou said with a laugh, “What’re you talking about? We’re good friends. We should come to see you anyway since you had a car accident. How do you feel? Do you feel better?”
Xiao Yao was in pain and didn’t feel like chatting with them. He nodded, turned over in bed and closed his eyes to sleep. He Wanyi didn’t say anything. Seeing Xiao Yao look so tired, she hurriedly said, “Let’s go out and let him have a good rest.”
Seeing Xiao Yao like this, the crowd knew that he was seriously injured, so they no longer said anything, but told him to take a good rest and left the ward.
As for the TV commercial, as insisted by He Wanning, it remained valid. If Xiao Rou could not wake up, he would choose a new model.
Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing saw them off downstairs. Ning Yan asked, “Do your uncle and aunt know about this?”
Hearing him mentioned Xiao Hongyi and his family, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa scowled and answered, “I didn’t tell them in case they’d become worried about Rourou.”
Ning Yan took a deep look at both of them and said, “But whatever the reason, you should tell them. If they found out about it through their own channels, do you think they will allow Xiao Rou to keep staying at your home?”
The others kept silent on this topic. Xiao Jing frowned and said coldly, “I see. We’ll consider it. Thank you for reminding. We’ll inform you if anything happens.”
At this time, a military SUV quickly stopped in front of the crowd. A man in the combat uniform of the Special Forces got off the car and opened the passenger door, following which a man walked out. The crowd looked over. Yang Mukun gaped at the man who walked into the hospital followed by his guard. “Isn’t that…”

The Forgotten Hero
Long ago, in the world of Thyne, the Alliance of the Free Races, a name they had given themselves, summoned a hundred humans from another dimension. Praised as heroes by the people, they rejoiced that they had been able to acquire pure, mana deficient humans that wanted to aid them in their time of need, ignoring the black, archaic slave collars around their necks or the depressed, almost hate-filled expressions that they received when interacting with them. After Ten years of bloody war, the dark races were pushed back deep into their territories. Both sides were near breaking point and desperate to end the war once and for all. In a bargain, the twelve surviving heroes launched a high-risk mission, utilising advanced tactics from their home world to kill the Demon Lord. In exchange, they would be sent home, along with the magically preserved corpses of their comrades, though in truth, they knew that even if they returned, they would never be the same. Legends say that, upon ambushing the Demon Lord in his castle, they finally understood the plight of the world, and in the last act of heroism, sacrificed their lives, sealing him in an eternal prison so his essence would not be able to create another. With the loss of the Demon Lord, and no chance for another to be born, the dark races quickly surrendered and the free races celebrated, honouring the noble sacrifice of the heroes before quickly forgetting about them as they returned to their everyday lives. However, legends are rarely truthful, embellished by the victors in order to earn praise as well as hide the less desirable aspects of their deeds. Trapped in the Demon Lord's throne room inside the Demonic Palace, which even taking a single step on its desecrated grounds is punished by death, two figures remain motionless. They had long run out of insults and threats to trade and now they waited. For what, not even the Gods knew.
