Chapter 75 - An Unexpected Help (1/2)

Now, Caihong felt truly afraid. Even if Xiaosi had rebutted her claims last night about him and Xinyi colluding together, she couldn't take her mind out of it. She couldn't believe him and so she didn't trust Xinyi either.

When she saw Xinyi today, all she could think of was how Xinyi admitted her feelings for Zhiyuan and how she could have been behind the tragedy that forced her to go away from him.

An Meiying gasped. ”Caihong, the message is right there! How didn't you see it?”

Shuang pressed her brows.

She was sure that An Meiying was behind Siying's allergic reaction, and she was going to confront her. But by not reading Xinyi's message, Caihong made a grave error as well.

Xinyi was stupefied. ”I don't understand. Why didn't you read the message?”

Caihong trembled. She covered her face and quietly sobbed.

She might defend herself for not adding the soy sauce in his food, but how could she not admit that she left Xinyi's message unread?

She might not be the cause of Siying's condition, but she was the reason why it worsened to the point of bringing him to the hospital.

”I am sorry…” she gasped. ”I-I…It was my fault that I ignored it.”

Zhiyuan asked, pursing his lips in disappointment, ”Ignore? Why Caihong? You were never this irresponsible. What went so wrong? Neither you allowed Xinyi to talk nor you read her message.”

She froze. She could clearly sense the disappointment and let down in his voice.

Siying was her responsibility and on the first day itself, he had to be admitted.

An Meiying looked at Zhiyuan and guiltily shook her head. ”This Zhiyuan, I apologize on behalf of Caihong. I don't know what to say. I think she still felt uncomfortable teaching him because,” she coughed, ”...he is your son. Caihong, you should have rejected the request if you really didn't want this.”

Zhiyuan and Xinyi glanced at each other.

They remembered that she wanted to deny teaching him anymore after the cruise, but with Shuang's insistence and Siying's pleading, she agreed.

But Zhiyuan also felt that things weren't so simple. An Meiying's behavior was suspicious too with the way she was egging them against Caihong.

Just then Xiaosi and behind him, An Guoting came as well.

They felt the gloomy atmosphere from far away.

”Caihong!” An Guoting rushed to her side. Seeing her trembling shoulders and tearful cheeks, he panicked.

”Caihong dear. Don't worry, okay. Whatever happened…”

An Meiying clutched his arm. ”Dear, thank God you came. I don't know what to do anymore. Caihong's irresponsibility has put Siying in danger.”

”I heard everything on the way.”

He seemed a little disturbed and annoyed, making An Meiying puzzled.

Caihong said, ”I admit that I was wrong in ignoring Xinyi's message, but I swear I didn't add the soy sauce! I would never harm Siying on purpose!”

An Guoting anxiously said, ”Caihong, don't cry. We will sort it out, okay? I will handle it.”

An Meiying sneered.

Even Guoting doesn't believe her. Success!

Caihong collapsed on the seat, sobbing hard.

Nobody believes me... Nobody would believe me now…Even Dad thinks that I did it. Even Zhiyuan is disappointed in me.

Because she ignored the message, it was easy to blame her for the accident too that she had planned everything.

Suddenly, somebody grabbed her arm and dragged her up. Startled, she looked up at Xiaosi with teary eyes.

An Guoting was furious. ”Xiaosi! Let her go! Don't you dare touch my daughter!”

Xiaosi ignored him. He looked at Caihong in disdain. ”Stop being so pathetic, Caihong. You are Mrs. Zhu. Sitting around crying like that and taking the accusations doesn't suit the lady of the Zhu family.”

Caihong blinked her eyes.

For a moment, she felt disoriented.

The doctor stepped out.

Xinyi asked, ”Siying! How is he now? I-Is it serious?”

The doctor said, ”Everything is fine now, Mrs. Han. We have administered him the medicine and his skin is going back to normal. His breathing is stable too. He will wake up in a few minutes.”

Zhiyuan and Xinyi finally let out their breaths in relief. ”Thank you so much, doctor.”

The doctor smiled. ”It's my job, Mr. Han. You can meet him now.”

Without wasting any time, they rushed inside.

An Guoting dragged An Meiying away to talk to her alone while Shuang stared at them for a moment and then also went with Xinyi and Zhiyuan in the ward.
