"Shen Yi, eat something. If you collapse, what will Wanwan do?" Lin Xu brought over the insulated bag that she had placed aside.
Lin Xu had brought over breakfast, and she wanted to check on Ye Wanwan’s condition. However, even after she had called Shen Yi several times, he showed no intention of eating.
Lin Xu had always taken a hands-off approach in raising Shen Yi, never before had she spoken to him with such earnest concern as she was doing now.
Shen Yi didn’t respond and looked numbly at Ye Wanwan who was lying in the hospital bed.
"Shen Yi!" Lin Xu frowned and called out to him again.
Suddenly, Shen Yi turned to look at Lin Xu, his face filled with exhaustion, devoid of the grace and composure he usually carried.
"Mom, stay here and look after Wanwan for me, I need to go out for a bit," said Shen Yi, his voice hoarse.
"What?" Lin Xu didn’t catch on immediately, and when she realized what Shen Yi had said, she quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
Shen Yi didn’t answer; he simply stood up and headed for the door.
Lin Xu hurried forward to grab him, "Where are you going ?"
No wonder Lin Xu was worried—seeing Shen Yi in such a state, how could she be at ease letting him go out?
"I just have something to do, Wanwan is still here, I won’t do anything reckless. Don’t worry," Shen Yi said, trying to shake off Lin Xu’s hand.
Knowing she couldn’t stop him, Lin Xu said, "It’s still snowing outside, at least put on your clothes properly!"
As she spoke, Lin Xu hurried back, grabbed the down jacket from the sofa for Shen Yi—a garment that couldn’t be worn indoors due to the heating, but outside, the snow was falling, and Shen Yi, only in a thin sweater, would surely freeze if he went out unprepared!
Shen Yi took the jacket and then left the ward without looking back.
Lin Xu couldn’t be at ease, but with Ye Wanwan still requiring careful attention, she could only return to the ward.
As soon as Shen Yi left the hospital, he drove away, heading in the direction of Ling’an Temple!
For the past few days, no matter how the doctors examined her, they said there was nothing wrong with Ye Wanwan’s physical condition—she shouldn’t be in an unconscious state.
Even to this day, the doctors were still clueless as to why she remained .
Her current state of unresponsiveness was simply inexplicable!
Continuous snowfall had made the roads slippery, and the path up Yunling Mountain was treacherous. It took Shen Yi two full hours to reach Ling’an Temple from the hospital.
The doors of Ling’an Temple were still tightly shut, and the steps in front were thickly covered with snow, as if the place had been deserted for a long time, untouched by anyone.
Stepping on the heavy snow, Shen Yi stood outside the main gate and pulled the knocker, ringing the door.
But after the first knock, Shen Yi waited for several minutes without anyone coming to open the door.
Shen Yi, not giving up, continued to knock.
No one came to answer the door, so Shen Yi kept knocking. He had been standing in the snowstorm for half an hour already, and despite wearing a down jacket, he couldn’t withstand the cold much longer.
But Shen Yi didn’t care about that—the hospital’s plethora of experts and professors had failed to awaken Ye Wanwan, so he could only pin his hopes on this place!
Finally, the door opened, and a young monk poked his head out. Seeing the person standing outside, he looked surprised, "Benefactor Shen, why have you come here?"
Shen Yi’s face was pale, and although he was nearly exhausted, he still tried to sustain his effort, "I’ve come to seek the Buddha’s help."
