"Are we still getting a divorce?"
Her rough husband threatened her while gripping her waist. She had no choice but to beg for mercy, "No, we're not getting a divorce, we'r...
What about your brother?
After thinking for a moment, Xing's mother said thoughtfully, "How about this? Your father is at an important moment of promotion and can't take leave. My factory is also busy lately. Why don't you stay at the hospital and take care of your brother?"
"What?"
Xing Yuzhen looked surprised.
"Mom, I don't have time." Afraid of staying, she quickly weighed the child in her arms and said anxiously, "Not to mention that it's hard to get leave from the factory, I also have to take care of the child. The child's father is also waiting for me at home. He can't cook, so I have to go back and take care of him. I really can't stay in the hospital to take care of my brother."
The mother was also displeased upon hearing this.
"If he can't cook, just let him go hungry. Are other men more important, or your brother?"
Xing Yuzhen was stunned for a moment.
After a long pause, she opened her mouth and asked, "What about my child?"
“I’ll look after the child for you. I’ll take him to the factory. We have a daycare center there, so you can rest assured.” Without giving her daughter a chance to refuse, Xing’s mother got up, picked up the lunchbox, and decisively left the ward.
Xing Yuzhen shouted angrily from behind, "Mom!"
With a click, the door closed in response to her.
Xing Yuzhen stomped her feet in anger, but had no choice but to glare fiercely at the closed hospital room door.
The baby in my arms suddenly moved, his expression gradually contorting. It was unclear whether he had soiled himself or wet himself. He arched his small body and started crying loudly.
Xing Yuzhen was even angrier.
"Cry, cry, all you do is cry!"
She placed the baby on the hospital bed, resignedly untied the blanket, and changed the diaper.
The ward was a double room, and no one else was staying there. The remaining bed was just enough for her to sleep with her child.
When Xing Yuzhen returned with water to wash the diapers, she found Xing Yujie, who was still asleep on the bed, having another nightmare.
“Hui…Xiao Hui…”
A layer of cold sweat seeped from Xing Yujie's bronze forehead, his lips were deathly pale, and the high fever had caused his lips to chapped. He kept murmuring Xiao Hui's name, and with each opening and closing of his lips, it seemed as if beads of blood were seeping from his cracked lips.
Xing Yuzhen sighed heavily.
"here we go again……"
This has been the case for the past few days.
Perhaps because of the persistent high fever, Xing Yujie has been unconscious for the past few days, rarely waking up. She keeps murmuring Tian Xiaohui's name, otherwise her mother wouldn't have let her lose face by asking Tian Xiaohui for help.
Who would have thought that Tian Xiaohui wouldn't come?
No, it's not that Tian Xiaohui didn't want to come; it's that her older brother and sister-in-law wouldn't let her come.
Thinking of this, Xing Yuzhen wiped the sweat from Xing Yujie's forehead while cursing Qin Zheng and Ye Yun: "They're so wicked, wicked to the core!"
"water……"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xing Yujie, who was under the towel, tremblingly open his eyes.
"Xiao Jie, you're awake?"
Xing Yuzhen was overjoyed.
Xing Yujie's eyes were empty and blank as he stared at the roof, instinctively saying, "Water... I'm thirsty..."
"Oh, oh, oh! I'm thirsty!"
Xing Yuzhen quickly put down the towel, picked up the kettle next to her, poured a cup of warm water, and carefully lifted Xing Yujie's upper body to feed him the water.
The little child on the bed behind her was making muffled noises, as if looking for her.
"Wait a minute, let Mom give your uncle some water before I hold you." Xing Yuzhen patiently and carefully served Xing Yujie.
After feeding her younger brother half a cup of water, she quickly wiped his mouth, threw down the towel, and rushed to soothe her fussy son.
The child's cries were somewhat shrill, which woke Xing Yujie, who was lying in bed, and made him open his eyes.
After a few seconds of confusion, his eyes gradually cleared, and his gaze slowly shifted to Xing Yuzhen, who was coaxing a child by the bedside.
What are you doing here...?
"How did I end up here?" Xing Yuzhen scoffed, coaxing the child, "Your team sent a message to our family saying you fell ill. Your parents were all busy, so I'm the one taking care of you. You've been in the hospital for three days now, and when I went back yesterday, your brother-in-law was really upset with me!"
"..."
Whether out of exhaustion or a lack of knowledge, he remained silent and did not utter another word.
Xing Yuzhen was still not satisfied and continued to add insult to injury: "You really are something. She's just a girl. There are all kinds of girls in the world. With your looks, you can find any girl you want. Why are you hanging yourself on a crooked tree and making yourself so miserable?"
Xing Yujie said with a headache, "This is different..."
"What's different? All girls in the world have two eyes and one mouth, what's the difference!"
At this point, Xing Yuzhen, still angry from today, added fuel to the fire: "Let me tell you, not only do Mom and Dad disagree with your marriage to Tian Xiaohui, but I disagree too. You have no idea how much your sister suffered for you today!"
Xing Yujie was slightly taken aback: "What...?"
"Does Tian Xiaohui have an older brother and sister-in-law?" Xing Yuzhen asked aggressively. Before Xing Yujie could answer, she said in a very aggrieved tone, "Our mother saw that you were seriously ill and kept mentioning Tian Xiaohui's name, so she told me to go to the pastry shop to find her."
"You went to see her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a glint appeared in Xing Yujie's eyes.
His eyes were burning, and even though he looked weak, he asked with urgency and expectation, "Did you see her? What did she say to you?"
"you……"
Xing Yuzhen originally wanted to exaggerate Tian Xiaohui's faults and portray her as a bad person so that her younger brother would give up on the idea.
Seeing her brother's infatuated look, she hesitated for a moment.
Given the situation, if she were to resort to any more underhanded tactics, her younger brother would be heartbroken.
"Forget it, you should just focus on getting better."
Xing Yuzhen didn't want to talk to her younger brother anymore, so she turned around and sat on another bed, playing with the child in her arms.
"Now that you're awake, it's much easier for me to stay in the hospital."
"yes……"
Xing Yujie's mind wasn't on this at all. Seeing that she changed the subject, his expression gradually darkened.
"Sis, she really didn't say anything to you?"
"No."
Xing Yuzhen said decisively.
At this moment, the light in Xing Yujie's eyes went out completely, and he lay down again as if all his strength had been drained.
Seeing him like this, Xing Yuzhen frowned deeply and said bluntly, "Don't be sad, and don't blame our parents. I think the girl you've chosen is not someone to be trifled with. Her brother and sister-in-law told me seriously that they look down on our family."
Xing Yujie was slightly taken aback and looked at her.
"I'm telling the truth." Xing Yuzhen stopped playing tricks and said sternly, "Let me tell you the truth, I went to see your boyfriend today. He didn't say anything, but his sister-in-law was really fierce. She pointed her finger at my nose and threatened to kick me out. Her words clearly said that your relationship was over and there was no chance for you two!"
W-what?
"Pfft..." Overwhelmed with grief, Xing Yujie coughed up a mouthful of blood!
