1257 I Want to Make You Stay 135 (1/2)
She removed the blanket from her shoulders and placed it onto her lap. She then bent forward and buried her face into the blanket.
Fan Shixin continued to wheel her back to the hospital.
She remained still throughout and did not move an inch even after they'd reached the hospital ward.
'”Are you alright?”
She finally stood up and sat down. ”I'm alright,” she said while sniffing.
How could she possibly be alright?
Fan Shixin carried her onto the bed, pulled the blanket over, and asked, ”What would you like to eat for lunch? I'll buy it for you.”
He did not console her any further. However, Mu Wansheng felt a great sense of comfort. Staring at Fan Shixin, she sobbed and said, ”Anything is fine.”
Fan Shixin handed her his handkerchief. Shocked to see that it was a blue floral embroidered handkerchief, she said, ”Thank you.”
”You're welcome.”
She picked up her mobile phone and hurriedly dialed the number that she had memorized like the back of her hand.
Fan Shixin knew who she was calling. However, he decided to stay out of it since it did not concern him.
The call went through quickly.
”Hello, it's me.”
Zuo Xingwei did not expect to receive a sudden call from his girlfriend. He looked at the girl beside him before answering, ”Hello, Wansheng, where have you been all this while? I've been trying to find you.”
”My mother broke my legs because I insisted on staying with you in spite of my family's objection. I'm in the hospital now.”
Zuo Xingwei grasped his mobile phone tightly and exclaimed, ”What! Why didn't you tell me? Which hospital are you in? I'll head there immediately.”
”Why didn't I tell you? It's all because you had to borrow money to pay for the down payment of our house. My medical bills are inching past 100 thousand dollars, can you afford that? I didn't tell you about it precisely because I know that you can't afford it. I didn't want you to feel stressed out or add on to your burden. I was thinking of looking you up once I recover, yet I didn't expect to have met you so soon,” said Mu Wansheng, who never liked to mince her words.
Zuo Xingwei subconsciously asked, ”Are you at the First People's Hospital?”
”Yeah. I saw you just now.”
Zuo Xingwei immediately said, ”Why didn't you call me immediately, then? I accompanied my colleague to the hospital. Which ward are you in? I'll go look for you now.”
”You're lying! Are you here to accompany her to a regular consultation or an abortion!?! Do you think I didn't hear you!?!” Mu Wansheng exclaimed, feeling extremely heartbroken.
”It's not like what you heard at all. Wansheng, don't you know how much I love you? Aren't you aware of how well I treat you? Why would I do something that'll hurt you? Don't malign me,” explained a flustered Zuo Xingwei.
”That's the reason why I wanted to marry you regardless of what the consequences may be. But what happened in the end? Do you really treat me that well? If you do, why would you fool around and cheat on me with another woman?”
”Wansheng, hear me out, it's not like what you think. We had a company gathering and drank too much. Thus, we ended up doing something we shouldn't have. I've been feeling extremely regretful too. I don't fancy her at all. You're the one whom I love and want to marry. Wansheng, will you please forgive me this once?”
”You know what I'm like. Let's break up and put an end to everything. From now on… let's never meet again.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she ended the call and switched off her mobile phone.
Fan Shixin did not expect her to be so straightforward. Thus, he was momentarily stunned.
”I'm going back now. I'll bring you lunch later in the afternoon.”
”Okay.”
”Don't worry, he won't be able to find you. The nurse is outside. I'll ask her to come in and accompany you.”
