Recently, while getting along with Freya, Zhou Jing had grown to like this elder sister very much. Her eyes curved into crescents when she saw Freya.

Freya walked closer and greeted her, "How are you feeling, Jing'er?"

The source of infection had been completely eliminated, and Zhou Jing's bodily functions were gradually returning to normal. However, due to lying in bed for too long, her muscles all over her body had become stiff, and she still couldn't walk on the ground.

But it didn't matter. As long as she kept doing rehabilitation exercises, Freya believed that Zhou Jing would be able to run again soon.

"Sister, I'm feeling much better. I even finished all my food today."

Zhou Jing said with a smile, as if showing off her progress.

Hearing this, Freya reached out and stroked her hair, saying, "It will get better and better in the future. Jing'er can eat whatever she wants and go wherever she wants."

After that, she looked up at Zhou Minsheng and continued, "Although the cancer cells in Mr. Zhou's body have been controlled, no one can guarantee when they will relapse. So, Mr. Zhou still needs to take more rest in daily life."

Zhou Minsheng nodded, "Thank you, Freya."

Apart from these three words, he really didn't know what else to say.

If it weren't for Freya, he would have been lying in bed waiting for death, and he wouldn't have had the chance to stand here again. And Jing'er would have also lost the battle against death and left him.

Freya was the savior of their father and daughter, and they would never be able to repay her kindness in this lifetime.

"This is what I should do. Mr. Zhou, there's no need to be so polite." Freya had other things to attend to. She told the two not to stay outside for too long and then went to the laboratory to study the manufacturing plan for the prosthetic limbs.

Although Xu Yan already had a prototype, making prosthetic limbs was after all a major project. She still wanted to do her best to help Xu Yan complete the prosthetic limbs as soon as possible so that Xiaolan could live like a normal person.

At the headquarters' medical room at this moment.

Since Xiaolan stopped pretending to be stupid, she had been cooperating well with the treatment every day, and her complexion had improved a lot compared to before.

She was leaning against the hospital bed at the moment, holding a mirror and combing her hair.

After Xu Yan's treatment, the marks of being beaten on her face had gradually faded. However, having endured so much torture in the past five years, she had aged rapidly. Even though she was not yet thirty, there were quite a few fine lines on her face.

Xiaolan looked at herself in the mirror, and the hostility in her eyes grew deeper. She reached out and gently stroked the lines, and her fingernails dug in involuntarily.

Perhaps because of her deep hatred, she didn't feel the pain at all. It was not until the door was pushed open that she realized there was a blood mark on her skin.

Xiaolan hurriedly wiped away the bloodstain, quickly put down the mirror, and showed Gabriel a gentle smile, "You're here."

"Yeah."

Gabriel replied indifferently and pushed a wheelchair in, "The sun is nice today. I'll take you out for a walk."

"Okay."

Xiaolan nodded.

Gabriel came over, picked her up from the bed and placed her in the wheelchair, and then pushed her out of the ward.

Because she hadn't been out for a long time, the sudden direct sunlight made Xiaolan a bit uncomfortable, and she quickly raised her hand to cover her eyes.

After gradually getting used to the light, she opened her hands, trying to catch the rays of the sun.

However, after the warmth of the light passed, it gradually became cold again.

Xiaolan associated this with her relationship with Gabriel. It was like the light, flashing by in an instant. But she didn't want it to be like this. She wanted to have this man's love forever.

"Gabriel, when can I see my son?" Xiaolan suddenly looked up and asked.

Gabriel's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you're ready, you can see him at any time."

"I..."

Xiaolan looked at her legs again, and her hands on the sides of her legs slowly clenched together.

With her current appearance, the child would surely be frightened if he saw her, right?

She didn't want to leave a bad impression on the child, and finally, she gave up the idea in her heart and sighed softly, "Let's talk about it after the prosthetic limbs are installed."

Gabriel didn't say anything and pushed her around.

The environment here was beautiful and peaceful, an excellent place for recuperation.

Along the way, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit strange.

Xiaolan remembered the previous Gabriel. Although he was cold, he was very gentle with her. But now, the way he looked at her was not only cold but also full of unfamiliarity.

Even if there was a trace of tenderness, it was all out of guilt and sympathy for her.

Xiaolan knew that they could never go back to the way they were before.

But she was so unwilling.

Clearly, the previous Gabriel only had eyes for her!

"Gabriel, when we were together, you often took me to the beach. When can you take me to see the sea again?" She tried to arouse his memories with things from the past.

With his usual indifferent expression, Gabriel let out a hum, "When you're better, I'll take you there."

"But I want to go now." Xiaolan coquettishly said.

Since she couldn't bring back his memories, she would try her best to arouse his sympathy.

As long as he felt guilty towards her, he would stay by her side, and no one could take him away.

Gabriel didn't expect that Xiaolan was a bit difficult to deal with today. He suppressed the restlessness in his chest and coaxed her gently, "You just had the surgery not long ago. It's not suitable for you to blow the sea breeze now."

Xiaolan could see his insistence and didn't make any more unreasonable demands.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw that Gabriel's eyes suddenly looked ahead.

Out of curiosity, she followed his gaze and saw Lan Xiaoling appearing in front of them, carrying a thermos box and smiling as she greeted the people around her.

She was wearing a beige long dress and small white shoes, which set off her long and slender legs. Her medium-length hair was half-tied up, with a bow on it. She exuded a lively and youthful atmosphere.

Xiaolan was jealous of her beautiful sister.

Especially when Gabriel's gaze was drawn to her, Xiaolan bit her lip and clenched her palm.

Suddenly, she pretended to be uncomfortable and exclaimed, "Gabriel, I suddenly feel a bit unwell."

Upon hearing this, Gabriel's attention was drawn back. He looked at Xiaolan worriedly and said, "I'll take you back to the ward and ask Xu Yan to come and take a look."

But Xiaolan said, "I just have a headache. It will be better after a while."

After thinking for a while, Gabriel walked behind her and reached out to massage her temples.

At this time, Lan Xiaoling also walked up to them.

Seeing the loving scene between the two, her originally excited mood became somewhat low for no reason.

But she hid it well and smiled, saying, "Mr. Lu, I've cooked fish soup for my sister. I'll send it to the ward first."

Gabriel nodded to her, and Lan Xiaoling passed by the two of them and carried the thermos bottle to the ward.

Seeing this, a triumphant smile curved the corner of Xiaolan's mouth.

After a moment, she said, "I'm tired. Let's go back and rest."

"Okay."

Gabriel complied with her request and pushed her back to the ward.

"Sister, you're back just in time. The fish soup is at the right temperature. Drink it quickly." Lan Xiaoling sat beside her, holding the fish soup and carefully blowing on it to cool it down.
