I've Always Been With You

The morning sun illuminated the ward, filling the room with a soft glow. The windows were spotless, and the room seemed to sparkle.

Gu Yang could faintly hear birds singing in the treetops, their spring melodies crisp and soothing.

On this peaceful, beautiful morning, she slowly opened her eyes and sat up. She was still attached to several medical instruments, making movement difficult, so she remained seated, feeling slightly dazed.

Hearing the door open, she looked up in a bit of a trance.

Gu Jin and Feng Jue, deep in conversation, froze when they saw her sitting quietly on the bed.

The medical report in Gu Jin's hand slipped to the floor.

Feng Jue's dull eyes lit up as he approached her, almost as if afraid this was a delicate dream. His voice was soft, trembling. "Sister…"

Gu Yang blinked and then hugged the handsome young man before her, a radiant smile brightening her face. "Ah Jue, I'm back."

She'd made the right bet.
