Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 576: Spiritual Pearl Fusion Awakening (4)_1

This girl, her frowning face was adorable.

"You fell into a coma in September, and now it’s the end of October. Next year will be eventful, so be prepared," Shangguan Zeming said with a smile. He was very satisfied with this granddaughter of his. Why hadn’t he realized before how amusing this girl was?

"What does that have to do with me?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow. Had Shangguan Zeming’s brain been addled by a fever?

"You are a granddaughter of the Shangguan Family, so naturally, it concerns you. The burden of the Shangguan Family was originally on my shoulders and had nothing to do with you. But I gave you the Gold Spiritual Bead, so I will enter a period of dormancy. Therefore, the future responsibility for the Shangguan Family falls to you, girl. The Shangguan Family, the Yu Family—it all depends on you now."

Shangguan Zeming patted Shangguan You’s shoulder. His ethereal form instantly dispersed, vanishing without a trace. "Hey!" Shangguan You watched the figure disappear, her eyebrows involuntarily furrowing. What was with this strange old man? Never mind, I should first inform Grandpa and the others that I’ve woken up so they don’t have to worry. Shangguan You glanced at the hidden pile of gold in the room, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely once more. Her Five Elements lacked Metal; what she was missing wasn’t gold bullion, but the Gold Spiritual Bead. This was a critical deficiency. The only ones who could have done such a thing were that Old Qi and Qi Zhuochen. The only physiognomists she knew were that grandfather and grandson duo.

It seemed quite a few people had come to see her while she was unconscious.

CREAK. Shangguan You opened the door and walked toward her daddy’s study. She saw a light on inside, indicating her daddy hadn’t gone to rest yet.

"Daddy," Shangguan You called softly, gently pushing open the door. She saw her father, Shangguan Hao, looking utterly haggard. His once firm face had thinned considerably, and he had huge dark circles under his eyes, making him look as if he had aged ten years. His desk was covered with countless medical files; he was searching far and wide for a renowned physician. As long as there was the slightest chance, Shangguan Hao would not give up.

Watching the figure toiling under the lamp, Shangguan You’s heart ached with a mixture of sorrow, bitterness, and poignancy. Her eyes reddened, and she threw herself into Shangguan Hao’s arms, crying softly, "Daddy, I’m alright now! I’m alright!"

"Girl?" The documents in Shangguan Hao’s hands slipped and fell to the floor with a THUD. He looked up at his daughter rushing towards him, his eyes inexplicably welling up. He carefully embraced the small figure that flung herself at him.

His girl had really woken up. Had she really awakened?

"Girl, have you really woken up? Isn’t this a dream?" Shangguan Hao murmured, cradling Shangguan You gently in his arms. He had dreamed of this scene countless times over the past month, but every time he awoke, his daughter lay lifelessly on the bed. Was this real, or was he dreaming again?

"Daddy, I’m awake! I’m really awake! I’m so sorry for making you worry. Something like this will never happen again," Shangguan You said, smiling through her happy tears. With such loving family members, what more could she ask for?

Warmth and a bittersweet feeling filled her heart. Her daddy, a dignified Commander-in-Chief, had actually cried—this man of iron was showing his tender side.

"Girl, you are never to scare the family like this again, understand? Do you know how our whole family has gotten through this past month and three days?" Shangguan Hao released Shangguan You, examining his daughter from head to toe. She looked much better and healthier than before.

"Daddy, I was wrong. Something like this will never happen again," Shangguan You said, wiping her tears and speaking cheekily to Shangguan Hao.

"Girl! SOB, SOB... Have you really woken up? I’m not dreaming, am I?" Liu Ruoling stood at the study door, looking at Shangguan You, and couldn’t help rubbing her eyes. "Aunt, I’m awake! I’m really awake!" Shangguan You’s petite body flung herself into Liu Ruoling’s arms, repeating the words over and over. The tears she had just managed to stop flowed once again.

"Uncle, Grandpa, I’m awake!" Shangguan You’s tearful eyes gazed at Shangguan Zhi and Shangguan Yu, who had visibly aged. She then threw herself into their embrace as well. They were her closest relatives in this world.

"Good, good. It’s good that you’re awake. That’s all that matters." Shangguan Zhi looked at Shangguan You, speaking each word carefully. Seeing that she looked well, he finally turned to leave, his heart at ease. He could finally get a good night’s sleep.

"Everyone, go back and rest," Shangguan Yu said, looking at Shangguan You with relief, though his gaze also held a touch of concern for his wife and younger brother.

After everyone had gone back to their rooms to rest, Shangguan You finally noticed the gaunt figure in the corner. Shangguan Qing’s gentle eyes twinkled. Her Brother Qing, who was always so elegant and refined, now looked even more worn out than her daddy and the others. Seeing Shangguan You, he was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

"Brother Qing, I’m awake! Aren’t you happy?" Shangguan You said playfully, throwing herself into Shangguan Qing’s embrace, feeling his gentle arms around her and inhaling his faint, familiar scent.

"Silly girl." Shangguan Qing opened his arms wide, letting Shangguan You plunge into his embrace. Feeling her petite form and inhaling her unique scent, tears streamed down his face once more. He really hadn’t wanted to cry, but he just couldn’t help it.

"Brother Qing, I’m sorry. I made you all worry," Shangguan You murmured, her tears soaking the front of Shangguan Qing’s shirt.

"Silly girl. As long as you’ve woken up, that’s the greatest reward for us," Shangguan Qing said softly, habitually stroking her hair. The tension that had gripped his chest for over a month finally eased.

"SOB, SOB... Brother Qing," Shangguan You cried softly. Having a family that cared for her so much, this life was more than enough.

"Girl, you’ve just woken up. No more crying," Shangguan Qing said, lifting her small face. His long, slender fingers carefully wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"Brother Qing, I slept for a whole month! Seeing you all now, I’m so happy," Shangguan You pouted. "Tomorrow, let’s go to the hospital for a full check-up."

"My body is fine now. Besides, I’m a doctor myself, so I know," Shangguan You insisted. "Brother Qing, I’m really alright..."
