Chapter 866 - Unwilling to Say Anything (1/2)

“Brother Lui, when are you coming to the hospital? The doctor said that Auntie is doing well in all aspects, that you can consider discharging her from the hospital.”

“En, I’ll go over in a bit.”

Chu Lui tossed the documents in his hands on the table. He then grabbed his coat and left the place.

…

Xia Yixuan fiddled with her phone smugly before she put it back into her bag. She then held Song Wan’s hand.

“Auntie, I only realized now that you should die later. At least not until I’m married to Brother Lui. Don’t worry. After you die, I’ll take good care of him. Of course, we’ll find you a nice place for burial.”

As she spoke, she pressed forcefully into Song Wan’s arm. However, she knew that she could not leave any marks behind. Song Wan was her biggest leverage now. She had done so many things. She learned massage, and she learned to take care of patients just to take care of this disabled old woman. All of this was just so that she could be nearer to Chu Lui.

If the old woman died just like this, all her efforts would have been in vain.

The door rang outside, and she hurriedly pretended that she was massaging Song Wan’s arm. Then, she picked up the towel to clean the old lady’s face as she smiled and spoke to her.

“Miss Xia is so kind to Madam Chu,” the nurse commented when she entered, “I think even a biological daughter would not do more than what you’re doing. Our doctor has said that Madam Chu’s rapid recovery is thanks to your care.”

The nurse might have been telling the truth, or she was just buttering Xia Yixuan up. Either way, her words were pleasant to the woman’s ears.

“Not really, this is what I should do.”

Xia Yixuan said in feigned shyness, but she had already spotted the piece of black fabric at the door.

Brother Lui, you heard all that right? Only I can take care of Auntie Song. Others won’t even put in as much effort.

Chu Lui, who was at the door, turned and headed for the director’s office. He wanted to discuss his mother’s discharge and find out what he had to take note of.

At the same time—in another hospital, a caretaker from the Lu family was gently patting Xia Ruoxin’s back. “My dear child, don’t worry, don’t worry. Drink it slowly; just take as much as you can handle. Don’t force yourself.”

Xia Ruoxin tried to hold it, but… but she could not. She bent over and threw up.

Her stomach has always been weak, which was made worse because she had not had food in a long time. She thus could not handle any food and would throw up anything she ate. Water was the only exception.

Her life was sustained by water and the IV drip now, but she had not adapted to eating enough to leave the bed. She finally survived, and she had to treasure her life and the food she had.

She told herself just one mouthful… just one more mouthful each day was a win, right?

After so long, she has wasted countless amounts of food; but she still has not managed to eat much. There was also this thing about her legs. She was like a vegetable. She could not even leave her bed to go to the bathroom.

“My child, it’s fine, don’t worry.” Qin Xuejuan carefully patted Xia Ruoxin’s short hair. A girl was hurt like this. Who was so vicious? They clearly did not want her to survive.

“Why don’t you take a nap first?” Qin Xuejuan helped Xia Ruoxin lie down and tucked her in.

“Auntie Qin, how is she?” Xiao Ma stood at the door and asked softly. He needed to know what was going on so that he had an answer when Young Master Rong asked later. Else, it could be embarrassing for him.
