After staying in the ward for a while, Shen Yanxi wanted to go back.

Zhou Mingyan was reluctant to part with them. He was unwilling to let the two children forget him like that, and promised to bring them cake again next time he came.

Before leaving, he warned He Lingchuan fiercely: "Mr. He, I can understand that you can't accept that the children are closer to me, but don't use such despicable means to sow discord between us. This may not be a good thing for the children's growth."

"What did I allocate?"

He Lingchuan flicked his ear, squinting at the man who was acting crazy: "Zhou Mingyan, you say I'm trying to sow discord between you, then show me the evidence. If you can't provide evidence, it's slander, and I can sue you."

He Lingchuan's tone was sharp, showing him no respect whatsoever.

Seeing that Shen Yanxi was about to speak, He Lingchuan closed the ward door before her and dismissed her from inside: "Don't come if you don't have anything to do. You're disturbing the children's rest."

...

Less than half an hour after Shen Yanxi and the others left, the two children suddenly had stomach aches.

No matter how He Lingchuan tried to comfort him, it was no use. He had taken the medicine and tried all the methods he could think of.

In the end, they had to call a doctor, who diagnosed acute gastroenteritis, and it had reached the point where emergency treatment was needed.

He Lingchuan paced back and forth outside the ward. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and was slapped.

A crisp sound echoed throughout the corridor, leaving He Lingchuan somewhat bewildered: "What's wrong with you?"

"Where are the children? Where are my children? How have you been taking care of them? Don't you have any sense of responsibility at all?"

Shen Yanxi made a scene at the door, slapping He Lingchuan's shoulder with all her might, her eyes filled with intense hatred.

Why did he get gastroenteritis? Did you feed him the wrong thing?

"Impossible. I strictly followed the nutritional meal plan, accurate to the decimal point. How could I have given him the wrong thing?"

He Lingchuan's gaze fell on Zhou Mingyan: "There must be someone else."

Shen Yanxi followed his gaze and sneered, "You still want to frame me?"

She reached out a hand to protect Zhou Mingyan's waist and questioned He Lingchuan, "It must be because you didn't take good care of him."

"There are no problems with Mr. He's care."

The two children's attending physician walked towards them, holding the nutritional menu that He Lingchuan had prepared for the children.

The above formula was prepared according to strict proportions, and the physical examination results of both children were normal. It is highly likely that the damage to their gastrointestinal tract was caused by eating something bad.

Suddenly, He Lingchuan noticed the box under the hospital bed. He picked it up, his eyes heavy: "Mr. He, you wouldn't let me buy snacks for the children, so why are you buying them pastries yourself?"

The pastry box was quite large; even an adult might not be able to finish it, but the two children ate it all up.

"He Lingchuan, are you crazy? You actually fed them this kind of junk food?"

“I never buy these.”

He Lingchuan took the cake box and held it up in front of Zhou Mingyan: "Did you buy this? I remember only you and Shen Yanxi came yesterday?"

"How could that be? I know perfectly well that the two children can't eat it, how could I possibly harm them?"

"Who knows what you're up to?"

He Lingchuan pressed on, moving closer to Zhou Mingyan and staring intently at him: "It's definitely you."

"Where's the evidence? Do you have any evidence to prove that I bought this? I don't spend 24 hours a day with the children."

Zhou Mingyan started arguing unreasonably, and Shen Yanxi naturally sided with him.

She shielded Zhou Mingyan behind her and helped him rebuke He Lingchuan: "He Lingchuan, don't be unreasonable. How could Mingyan have bought this?"

"Then it couldn't possibly be me. It's strange, why can't we catch the person who delivered the cake?"

He Lingchuan glanced into the ward: "It seems we can only wait until the two children wake up before asking them."

Zhou Mingyan tensed up instantly. He threw the cake box into the trash can: "Asking these questions now is useless. The most important thing is the children's health."

Shen Yanxi chimed in, but He Lingchuan sensed something was off: "You're not feeling guilty, are you?"

He was trying to get information out of Zhou Mingyan, who denied it. Suddenly, someone passed by, saw the cake box, and kindly asked, "Mr. Zhou, did you really buy this cake? Does it taste good?"

He Lingchuan and Shen Yanxi's gazes both fell on Zhou Mingyan.

He felt a little guilty, shrugged, and made up an excuse: "I remember now, when we came here last time, didn't I buy some things? But I didn't save any cake. They probably took it out and ate it when I wasn't looking."

This explanation was reasonable, but apart from Shen Yanxi, no one present believed it.

Especially Zhou Mingyan, he walked up to Zhou Mingyan and questioned him in a low voice: "Really? If you didn't put it in front of them, how could they know you bought a cake? You must have deliberately leaked the information to them so that they would take it."

"That was your oversight."

Shen Yanxi stepped forward and looked him in the eye, blaming him for everything: "If you had kept a close eye on the children, they wouldn't have had the chance to sneak a bite of cake."

Her eyes widened, as if He Lingchuan were the culprit.

"That's your fault."

He Lingchuan was slightly stunned, thinking he had misheard.

"You really manage to lower my standards every time."

His words were full of sarcasm. In all the years of their marriage, He Lingchuan had never spoken to Shen Yanxi like that.

Zhou Mingyan couldn't stand it, so he pretended to stand up for Shen Yanxi. He stepped forward and said angrily, "He Lingchuan, didn't you see that Xixi was crying? Why don't you apologize to Xixi right now?"

"Apologize?"

He Lingchuan sneered: "She values ​​this other man more than her own flesh and blood, why should I apologize to her?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanxi gasped.

She staggered, and if Zhou Mingyan hadn't supported her waist, she probably would have fallen to the ground in the next second.

Shen Yanxi raised her hand, her fingertips trembling, and gently rubbed her temples: "He Lingchuan, how could you say that to me? That's my child, how could I not feel heartache?"

He Lingchuan, who had been peering through the ward door to observe the children's condition, burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Feeling sorry for them? You say you feel sorry for the children? Shen Yanxi, don't you feel guilty saying that? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

He Lingchuan pointed at Zhou Mingyan, who was holding her: "For this man, you abandoned the children to me. You didn't care what the children ate or drank, and you let Zhou Mingyan give them snacks. They've become like this because of you. What right do you have to say you care about the children?"

With each word Zhou Mingyan spoke, Shen Yanxi's breathing became more anxious. As the last word fell, Shen Yanxi could barely breathe and fainted in He Lingchuan's arms.
