1014 What Are You So Afraid? (2/2)

Her words were filled with too much helplessness and resignation.

She then quickly changed the topic. ”I'm a little hungry. I'll go get the food now. What do you want to eat?”

She immediately added, ”… other than chicken wings. The doctor advised a light diet.”

Su Yue replied with an 'oh'. Her lips curled downwards. ”Get me anything then.”

Bai Jing replied, ”I'll get you a bowl of porridge and two vegetarian buns.”

She grabbed her phone and money and went on her way.

It wasn't long after Bai Jing left when Su Yue's drip ran out. A nurse came over with a new bottle. The last bottle was a tiny one.

She leaned her head on the headrest of the bed. She stared at the liquid as it dripped.

”500… 501… 502…”

Su Yue was so focused on counting the number of drops that had fallen when a familiar male voice sounded from the front. ”What are you counting?”

A cold shiver ran down her spine. She looked at the man and asked, ”Third Brother, why… why are you here?”

Yan Rusheng was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, and he had tucked his hands into his pockets. He towered over her and frowned. He acted stern as he chided, ”Why didn't you tell me that you were hospitalized? You're pretty gutsy.”

”Bai Jing told you?” Su Yue angrily asked.

'How else would Third Brother have known? How would he have found this hospital?'

Yan Rusheng knew what Su Yue was worried about. He bent down and sat at the corner of her bed, deciding not to scare her anymore. In a gentle voice, he assured, ”Relax, I didn't tell your third sister-in-law.”

He paused for a while, and with a smile, he continued, ”You're just having a fever, it's not like you did anything bad. Why are you so afraid?”

Confusion flashed before Su Yue's eyes.

'Bai Jing didn't tell him the reason for her fever?'
