It was a pleasant surprise for the Davis Family to see Tristan regain his consciousness after being in a coma. He looked healthier than before as if he didn't undergo a life and death situation.
Isabelle ran in his direction, hugging her son. The relief could be seen in her eyes. Grandpa Lu and Lucas were also emotional seeing Tristan safe and sound. He was no longer in critical condition.
Tristan was also wondering why his body felt like different from his usual. The energy was flowing inside him as if his strength was revitalized for some unknown reason.
He also thought he was about to die. The last thing he remembered was the moment he stabbed his own heart to stop himself from attacking Zhen-Zhen. His body was possessed by Mheera's soul.
He was worried about Zhen-Zhen. Even in his coma state, he was thinking about her. He missed her. He even dreamed of seeing her crying because of him.
So the moment he opened his eyes, he immediately stood up to find his wife, Zhen-Zhen.
"Tristan! You are back, my dear son! How do you feel?" Isabelle asked him worriedly.
Andrew couldn't help but smile. His brother was back! He looked fine now. He tapped his brother's back.
"Mom, I'm fine. Where is my wife?" He was eager to see Zhen-Zhen.
His parents, Grandpa Lu and Andrew exchanged glances with one another. Zhen-Zhen fell ill from too much stress and anxiety, worrying about Tristan.
"Son, Lillie collapsed and fainted a while ago. She is resting in her room right now." Isabelle informed Tristan.
He felt alarmed and terrified when he heard that. "Please bring me to my wife."
"Brother, this way." Andrew was the one who brought Zhen-Zhen to her room. Without further ado, Tristan followed his brother as they headed to Zhen-Zhen's room together with Isabelle.
Grandpa Lu and Lucas waited for Zu Wan but to their surprise, there was no sign of Zu Wan inside the ward.
"Huh? Dad, Mr. Zu Wan is not here." Lucas mumbled, feeling puzzled as he looked around.
Grandpa Lu finally realized why Zhen-Zhen tried to stop Zu Wan. "I guess… Zu Wan made a sacrifice just to save Tristan…"
Lucas was rendered speechless when he heard that. "He disappeared after healing Tristan… does it mean–"
"He sacrificed his life to save Tristan… we owed him." Grandpa Lu was saddened at this thoughts. Now he understood why Zhen-Zhen was not able to bear the emotional stress.
"I hope Lillie will stay strong after this. He needs us. Though Zu Wan disappeared, let's show her she's not alone. We are here for her… as her family."
Meanwhile, in Zhen-Zhen's room, Tristan already arrived. Titania and Ella were there watching over her.
Titania's eyes brightened up when she saw Tristan. Zu Wan became true to his words. She continued looking at the door, searching for Zu Wan. But to her puzzlement, he didn't show up.
'Where is Zu Wan?' Titania suddenly became anxious not to see him.
On the other hand, Tristan already reached Zhen-Zhen's bed. He felt worried seeing his wife not looking good. Her eyes were puffy. There were moist in the corners of her eyes, signifying she cried a lot.
"Wifey… I'm sorry… I'm sorry for making you worried. I'm here now. I'm back." Tristan caressed her face, wiping the tears.
He missed her so much. He was so scared. He thought he would never see her again. "Wifey… I'm really sorry." Tristan kept on apologizing. He could still recall how he tried to attack his own wife using the dagger.
He blamed himself for being so weak. He almost hurt his wife and their children. "Please forgive me, Zhen-Zhen…"
Tristan began to cry. His voice croaked and his body was shaking and trembling from sobbing.
Seeing this scene, Andrew, Isabelle, Titania, and Ella decided to leave the room, giving Tristan and Zhen-Zhen their privacy.
"Wifey, I'm here now… Wake up."
Zhen-Zhen, who was trapped in her beautiful dream, suddenly heard Tristan's voice calling her name.
'Is that Tristan? Why am I hearing his voice in my subconscious even though he is here with me?' Zhen-Zhen thought to herself.
She glanced at Tristan who was playing with the twins and then darted her gaze to her parents who were busy cooking food. They were doing picnic outdoor. But this was just her illusion she made in her subconscious, making herself believe that she was together with her family.

"Tristan… are you calling me?" Zhen-Zhen approached Tristan.
"No, but the twins are calling you…"
"Mama, come here, let's play!" Little Christian called her, holding her hand.
Zhen-Zhen frowned as she was still hearing Tristan's voice.
[ "Wifey… I'm back now!" ]
At this certain moment, Zhen-Zhen was able to distinguish the real from her illusion.
She looked at her parents who were now smiling at her.
"Zhen-Zhen, go back now… to your real world." Zu Wan approached her, holding her shoulders.
"Your husband is calling you now. You want to see him right? For real?" Zu Wan added.
Eva also walked over, touching Zhen-Zhen's face. Zhen-Zhen's tears began to fall once again. If she leaves now, she will no longer see them.
"Fa-Fa! Mo-Mo!" The three of them hugged each other for one last time. "I… I'm so sad right now… I feel like I'm not going to see you again."
Eva rubbed her back and whispered something to her. "I will not let my baby cry and be sad for long. I'm your mother so trust me. Everything will be fine. Don't cry… don't be sad. Go back now."
Zhen-Zhen nodded her head while saying, "I love you, Mo-Mo… I love you, Fa-Fa!"
After saying goodbye to her parents, Zhen-Zhen was awakened from her illusion. She slowly opened her eyes and Tristan's face greeted her sight!
He was smiling at her with his eyes burned with tears. "Zhen-Zhen…"
"Tristan!"
Zhen-Zhen and Tristan hugged each other tightly. It has only been days but they felt like they hadn't seen each other for a decade.
She cried in his arms while Tristan tried to comfort her. "Stop crying now, wifey. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere."
"Hubby… my Fa-Fa… he is gone…" Zhen-Zhen could no longer feel Zu Wan's spiritual aura, that's why she could tell that he was no longer there.
"Gone? What do you mean, Zhen?"
