Baye has not smiled in these few days, spending all his time in the lab studying Kaka's medical records and researching brain death. If it weren't for Su Man forcibly making him rest, he probably wouldn't even get two hours of sleep a day. He is completely focused on Kaka's condition.

Wu Shuang has lost weight.

After she became pregnant, Rong Yan and Ye Wei devised various delicious dishes for her; with her good appetite, she usually ate well and looked plump and healthy, with her facial features becoming fuller. Whenever Kaka held her, he couldn't help but marvel at how great his mother was. However, since Kaka fell ill, Wu Shuang has been going to bed on time every day, eating regular meals as before, yet she has become much thinner. In just a few days, she lost several kilograms and looks even slimmer than before her pregnancy. Her already small face now appears even smaller. With Ye Wei and Mo Jue not around, Baye always treats Wu Shuang like his own daughter and is deeply worried about her.

Su Man has prepared the best medicinal cuisine to help boost her health, but it hasn't been very effective.

"Wu Shuang, I won’t give up until the last moment," Baye says. He still has a few days left, and Wu Shuang nods in agreement. She wouldn’t give up either; although she had mentally prepared for the worst outcome, she wouldn't abandon hope until the very end.

Absolutely no giving up.

Kaka's life is tied to hers and her child’s, so there’s no reason to放棄。

Baye doesn’t have time to chat with Wu Shuang further. He only tells her to take care of herself and pay attention to her health before rushing back into the lab. He has also invited several neurology experts to Rome to collaborate on researching Kaka's condition.

Baye is not a person who makes decisions in isolation; he is confident in his medical expertise but does not act arrogantly. He knows what’s best and how to give Kaka the longest possible chance of survival.

Moyao's body is slowly recovering, and his injuries are no longer severe; he will have his stitches removed in a week. Since they are at the same hospital, Moyao and Xiaobai often come to accompany Wushuang. Yè Sàoniáo and Chéng Anyá are still in Rome, where Chéng Anyá is taking good care of Wushuang and Wēnmián. After Wēnmián's miscarriage, her spirits have recovered, but her body has yet to fully recover. Women who miscarry or give birth need proper recuperation, just like a postpartum period; they cannot be neglected. Yè Fěimò originally wanted to take her back to City A for recuperation, but Wēnmián prefers staying in Rome to accompany Wushuang and their family members. After she recovers, everything will have settled down, and she can travel to London.

However, the matters concerning the Anning Group do not require Fěimò's long-term presence; she advised him to return early, but Yè Fěimò entrusted the tasks to the vice president of the Anning Group. He usually holds conference calls when there are important matters and did not go back.

Yè Sāoniáo has been feeling uneasy because Yè Nányuán and Xǔ Nuò have been silent for a long time since going to the Middle East; they neither made any phone calls nor sent messages. He learned that Yè Tiānyǔ alone took on M2's headquarters in Lebanon, killing more than four hundred elite members.

Upon receiving this news, Chéng Anyá and Yè Sāoniáo felt uneasy. Although Yè Tiānyǔ is arrogant, unpredictable, and fierce, he would not casually kill people; personally taking on such a large-scale massacre goes against his character. If he wanted to eliminate M2 out of dissatisfaction, sending a few missiles would have sufficed; there was no need for such a loud show. The only explanation was revenge: only vengeance could incite such bloody violence.

But what exactly happened to Lán

No one informed him about it, and he couldn't get through to either Yè Nányuán or Yè Tiānyǔ on the phone. When he asked Yè Wēi, she stammered, making Yè Sāoniáo even more suspicious; yet fearing Chéng Anyá's suspicions, he did not reveal his concerns and remained gloomy.

It must have something to do with Lán.

But what exactly happened remains a mystery to him.

The Middle East, North America, and Eastern Europe are all currently under terrorist attacks. With the first terrorist organization clashing with the US government by targeting M2, war between the Middle East and North America has never ceased; terrorist activities have continued unabated. After this incident, some terrorists in the Middle East planned several major terrorist events, including planting bombs at the Pentagon. Fortunately, they were discovered before detonation; otherwise, it would have caused a scandal comparable to 9/11.

Yè Sāoniáo has been calling Yè Nányuán these days, but all his calls go straight to voicemail, increasing his unease. He suspects that something terrible must have happened to Yè Kělán; Yè Nányuán cannot bring himself to tell him the bad news and thus avoids answering.

Zheng Anya also tactfully inquired if Ke Lan was in trouble, but Ye San only offered comfort and had nothing else to say; he couldn’t give her false hope, for the news could be devastating.

If Ke Lan were to suffer another misfortune after Wēn nuǎn lost a child, it would take years for them to recover from their shadow of sorrow.

Zheng Anya discreetly asked Mo Xiaobai if he knew about the situation in the Middle East. Neither Mo Yao nor Mo Xiaobai or others were aware of Ke Lan’s predicament; Ye Ningyuan had suppressed this news, and only a few people like Ye Wei knew.

The reason for keeping it under wraps was to prevent too many people from knowing about Ke Lan’s death. He had to personally convey the news to Zheng Anya himself, so when she asked Mo Xiaobai, he couldn’t reveal anything either.

These days, Mo Yao's health had significantly improved; Wú Shuāng needed to take care of Kaka, while Mo Xiaobai helped Mo Chen and remained in the abandoned castle. The information system hadn't been transferred yet; they could only stay in Rome since moving everything at once to Sicily was impossible.

Mo Chen had also been gloomy these days; after Gù Bāo left, his smile vanished completely. With recent excessive bloodshed, everyone’s mood was heavy.

Sitting in the hospital room, Wú Shuāng peeled an apple to pass time and ease her mind. She needed to do something to calm her anxiety and fear; just being there with him wasn’t enough.

She didn't care much, but the child was crucial.

Peeling apples had become one of her specialties; previously, she would eat them whole after washing. Now, peeling an apple from start to finish without breaking its skin was a skill she developed recently.

Three peeled apples lay on the plate.

Wu Shuang smiled and said to Kaka, "You don't like eating the skin of apples. When you wake up, I can peel one for you; I'm very skilled at it."

Kaka did not respond. Wu Shuang put down the apple and gently held Kaka's beautiful hand. Every part of Kaka’s body was slender and beautiful, and her hands were particularly elegant—slender, clean, with a faint warmth.

She loved holding Kaka's hand; it was where she felt most at ease in her entire life.

Budding love, lifelong affection, lifelong dedication.

This feeling never ends.

She remembered a few years ago, he would always ask her, "Wu Shuang, why do you always like coming to London"

She smiled and replied, "London has you."

The world has you, so I yearn for it.

If you weren't here, where would I go

Wu Shuang held his hand gently against her face, murmuring to herself, "Kaka, please wake up, okay"ndescribable complexity and hope.It was rare for him to speak so much, and he hoped Warming could grasp his intentions.A warmth spread through Warming's heart; her eyes showed some emotion. She sudden...
