Chapter 1: The Awakening Supreme
"Son, my dear son, wake up—"
In the haze, a familiar voice rose by his ear, filled with urgency and worry, continuously calling out to his sleeping self, pulling Ye Chen back from the deepest recesses of his consciousness.
It wasn't until much later that Ye Chen finally awoke from his groggy state, and the moment he opened his eyes, the light was blinding, and it took him a while to adjust.
He felt himself lying on a warm, soft, and comfortable large bed, and seated beside the bed was a charming middle-aged woman with fair and delicate skin, hair up in a bun, dressed lavishly, radiantly beautiful—the lady of a well-to-do household.
The beautiful woman, with tears in her luminous eyes, was holding his hand, intermittently shedding tears and calling out his name with sorrow and grief.
Not far away stood a maidservant, around fourteen or fifteen years old, looking lovely as a flower, standing straight and proper. With red lips and white teeth, her well-fitting clothes outlined her prematurely developed curves, a charming beauty in her own right, who was also eagerly looking at Ye Chen on the bed.
Seeing her young master, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally open his eyes, she couldn't contain her joy and danced around, calling out repeatedly, "Madam, look quickly, the young master has woken up, he has woken up."
Hearing the maidservant's shout, the beautiful woman hurriedly looked over, and indeed, tears fell continuously from her beautiful eyes, yet they were tears of joy, "Chen'er, are you awake?"
Wasn't that obvious?
Lying on the bed, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile helplessly, but seeing the anxious and hopeful look in his mother's eyes, he softened, and weakly murmured, "Mother, I'm awake, don't worry, I'm fine, really; I'm just a bit weak."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman shed even more tears, then suddenly rushed out, leaving behind the words, "Wait here, I'll call your father to come and see."
