He did not want himself to guess. He wanted to hear it, hear the truth—hear a story.

…

“Daddy…”

Once Xia Yixuan saw Xia Mingzheng, she pounced into his arms. She was really frightened this time. That woman was a lunatic, and she had almost died.

“It’s okay now.” Xia Mingzheng patted Xia Yixuan’s shoulders and felt that she was still as small and weak as the young child he had to carry in his arms in the past.

“Daddy, that woman is crazy. She’s a lunatic.” Xia Yixuan hugged Xia Mingzheng and wailed loudly. “She wanted me dead.”

When Xia Mingzheng heard that, he really wanted to go to the Lu family and debate with them again to get that woman out. He wanted her to try the exact same method for her to understand his hatred. Since young, his daughter had never suffered this much.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely avenge you.” Xia Mingzheng comforted his daughter. This incident would not be settled so easily. Even though Xia Mingzheng was not very famous, he was not a nobody; and the people in his Xia household would not be so easily bullied.

Xia Yixuan’s red lips curved up. Of course, she was no longer afraid. Perhaps that woman—Lu Xiaohua—was already dead. How did she die? She committed suicide out of guilt. Besides, even if they investigated it, she was not the one that killed her; it was Chu Lui.

However, she knitted her eyebrows again. Up till now, she still did not know why Lu Xiaohua would hate her so much. Was it really because of Chu Lui? Did Lu Xiaohua like Chu Lui, too? Her instincts told her that this reason was very possible.

Could it really be because Lu Xiaohua liked Chu Lui and wanted to eliminate her, who was a thorn in her side? However, it did not seem very possible but was the only logical explanation.

Xia Yixuan lay down. They had the best doctors and best nurses here, and she was also staying in the best ward. Of course, the most important thing was that Chu Lui would come over and visit her every day.

When no one was around, she whipped out her phone and secretly made a call. “Have you done the thing I told you to?”

Half a day later, the person on the other end said, “I’ve done it, of course. Don’t worry. I have found the person a place, and I’ve handled it cleanly. No one will know about it. Can you give me the money now?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t give you any less.” Xia Yixuan hung up and threw her phone aside. She could rest without worry. Since she had killed one, she should do another. Who would know? Lu Xiaohua also said herself that no one could find that place. Then, she would return that sentence to her. No one could find that place, and so no one would know what she did, right?

At this point when she was resting without worry, she did not know the man she had just called spat on the floor. “B*tch, you gave me the money so late. Even if I went there for nothing and couldn’t find the person, I deserve every bit of this money.”

…

Hospitals were usually very quiet and void of unnecessary noises. The normal wards were still okay, and the few patients could even play mahjong together. However, in the intensive care unit, none of them were thinking about anything else. All of them were just hoping that the patient inside could quickly pass the critical period safely.

The forty-eight hours of the critical period were going to be over soon.

“She should be okay…” Jia Xinbao felt based on his experience as a doctor that the patient’s life inside was getting increasingly stable by the day, and there were no complications so she should be out of the critical period.

However, Gao Yi did not say anything, and his gaze was glued to the woman wearing the oxygen mask. She had slept for forty-eight hours, but he had not slept for close to forty-eight hours. He was afraid that the moment he slept would be the moment she died.

“Doctor Gao, do you want to rest first?” Jia Xinbao was worried about this man who had never even shut his eyes. His pair of eyes was very red, and it was green below his eyes. If this carried on, even a person made of iron would not be able to take it. He himself was a doctor, and he should know it very clearly.

“It’s okay. I can hang in there.” It seemed like Gao Yi did not even need to look at his patients, and he just stayed here all day. This was his Ruoxin, his patient. He had personally cut open her stomach and meticulously mended her wounded organs.

He believed in his medical abilities, and of course, he believed in her.

She could do it. Yes, she must do it. Ruoxin, you can do it, nothing will happen to you.

What else could Jia Xinbao say? He rubbed his eyebrows. Actually, he was very tired and anxious. Nonetheless, none of them dared to sleep, and they could not sleep.

Minutes and seconds passed, and the weird atmosphere continued between the Lu, Chu, and Xia families. Every day, Xia Mingzheng would go sit at the Lu family, but Lu Ke’en had never put on a nice face; neither did Xia Mingzheng. He still said the same thing and demanded an explanation. If not, he would stay there every day and would disgust the Lu family to death.

Luckily, Jian Qingying went back to her home to see her nephew. Lu Ke’en had also kept finding excuses to make her stay for a few more days. If not, other than coming back to worry about their daughter, she would also be disgusted by Xia Mingzheng’s family to death. It was okay if the Xia household bothered him, but they could not bother Jian Qingying.

Anyway, Lu Ke’en’s heart could endure quite a few things, and he could drink tea and read newspapers as per normal. As for Xia Mingzheng, he did his own things and was prepared to go head-on against Lu Ke’en.

After being busy for a few days, Chu Lui then asked Lu Jinrong out.

“How’s your sister? Didn’t I tell you to fetch her?”

“There’s no need for your concern.” Lu Jinrong looked at the man in front of him lightly, and his lips curved up coldly.

Chu Lui knitted his brows. “Your sister’s mental state might not be too good. You should find a psychologist for her.” Actually, he was telling the truth, and he cared for Lu Xiaohua. However, to Lu Jinrong, his words were like stabs.

Lu Jinrong stood up and placed his hands on the table to hold himself up. “I think you should find a psychologist for Xia Yixuan.”

Chu Lui took out a cigarette and did not say anything.

After Lu Jinrong left—for some reason, Chu Lui extended his hand to rub the center of his brows. He felt that his head hurt, and it was that type of jarring pain.

He appeared in the hospital again. Once Xia Yixuan saw him, she hurriedly sat up and purposely rolled up her sleeves to show that Chu Lui had accidentally cut her.
