The doctor looked at him with a skeptical expression and left him with only one sentence: "Call the patient's family over."

"But……"

He didn't know who He Lingchuan's family members were either. In his memory, the only one who could arrive the fastest was Shen Yanxi.

He followed the ambulance in his car, hesitated for a moment, and then called Shen Yanxi.

As a result, I dialed more than a dozen numbers in a row, but all the other end was busy.

Gu Chengze frowned and chose to give up.

Fortunately, He Lingchuan's condition was not serious; he fainted due to overwork and physical exhaustion.

“You weren’t feeling well while you were driving, and I told you to go back and rest, but you wouldn’t listen.”

Thankfully he came along this time, otherwise who knows what might have happened.

Gu Chengze felt annoyed by his half-dead appearance, mainly because he didn't want to see him continue to be so dejected.

"Why are you working so hard? You don't need to support the child. You can manage with your own money. If you really want good grades, we have plenty of time later. There's absolutely no need for you to overwork yourself."

"I just want to finish the project I have on hand as soon as possible."

"We can't do that. What if you really collapse?"

Gu Chengze genuinely cared for him, but he was also genuinely pessimistic: "It's not a loss. I'm just a worthless life. Even if I really die, no one will care."

"What are you saying? Others may not care, but I do. Have you forgotten about me?"

Gu Chengze knew who he was referring to, and thinking about all the things he had done for Shen Yanxi made him grit his teeth.

As his brother, he certainly couldn't bear to see He Lingchuan suffer like this.

But he had no other choice. He couldn't persuade him, and he couldn't get out of it himself. It was a complete dead end.

Gu Chengze wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly received a call from his mother.

He abruptly ended the conversation, somewhat apologetically saying, "Something came up at home that needs my attention, so I probably won't be able to stay here with you."

He originally planned to send someone over, but He Lingchuan refused.

"Can't I, a grown man, go to the hospital by myself? You should go back now and not waste any more time."

Gu Chengze hesitated for a moment, but finally left the hospital at his urging.

He didn't close the door when he left, and He Lingchuan happened to see Shen Yanxi walking by through the crack in the door.

He frowned: "What a coincidence!"

Can they all go to the same hospital together?

As he was wondering, a young nurse pushed open the door and entered: "How are you feeling? Your friend asked us to take care of you when he left. You can ask me for help if you need anything."

She told He Lingchuan her name, looked at his profile with a shy smile, pursed her lips, and lowered her head to treat his wound.

He Lingchuan is really handsome, I don't know how someone like him doesn't have a girlfriend.

"Which of those two people who just passed by was injured?"

He harbored a selfish thought: he should never test Shen Yanxi.

Even though they had separated, he still hoped that Shen Yanxi would be safe and sound.

"Ah, it's that man. He said he felt a little dizzy, but it's nothing serious."

"That's good."

He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the nurse bustling around and felt a little embarrassed: "I can do it myself. I'll call you when it's time to change the dressing."

He felt really embarrassed to let a girl take care of him.

The nurse originally wanted to stay, but couldn't persuade He Lingchuan otherwise, so she sighed helplessly: "Just press the call button when you need me, and I'll come over."

"Thanks."

He Lingchuan has never liked to trouble others, and this was no exception when he was hospitalized.

He was more at ease by himself, provided he didn't see Shen Yanxi.

Just as Shen Yanxi passed by outside the door, he felt as if his heart had been gripped tightly.

He didn't want to be so insecure. They were already divorced, so he shouldn't be thinking about him anymore.

But he just couldn't control his emotions.

His tendency to overthink became even more pronounced when he saw Shen Yanxi and Zhou Mingyan together.

"He Lingchuan? What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, He Lingchuan's expression instantly turned solemn.

He sat up and looked at the people outside the door.

Shen Yanxi looked at the IV drip in his hand, somewhat surprised: "You're sick? What's wrong?"

Zhou Mingyan was standing next to her, and thinking about what he had said, she regained her confidence.

"He Lingchuan, I really underestimated you. You're even willing to fake illness to compete with Mingyan?"

His gaze fell on He Lingchuan's arm: "You actually got a shot? Did you really think I'd soften up if you acted pitiful like this?"

Her tone suddenly turned sharp and cold: "I've already given you one chance. Now go home."

"We're divorced, why would I go back home?"

He Lingchuan's broken heart hardened; he had no desire to piece the fragments back together, only to let them drift away with the wind.

Without a heart, there is no love, and he will no longer be troubled by people who are not worth it.

"Are you ever going to stop? I've already warned you, can't you just stop while you're ahead? Do you have to make things unpleasant for everyone?"

You seem quite happy right now.

She spends every day with Zhou Mingyan, and in her spare time she can even come and cause him trouble.

Isn't it fine?

“He Lingchuan, don’t push your luck. As long as you go back now, I will let bygones be bygones, and I don’t need you to apologize to me.”

"Apologize? Why should I apologize to you?"

He was so angry at Shen Yanxi that he laughed: "You're the ones who keep causing me trouble, and now you want me to apologize to you? What are you thinking?"

He Lingchuan looked at him with disdain, and pointed to the door with his other hand: "Get out of here."

Why should I go out?

Shen Yanxi sat in front of him, looking at his IV drip with a cold smile: "Don't think you can make me bow down by pretending to be pitiful."

She had already tried to please He Lingchuan, but the man didn't appreciate it at all.

And what was the result? Wasn't he just competing with Zhou Mingyan for favor?

If that's the case, then we should have taken the opportunity to back down.

After realizing that He Lingchuan still had feelings for her, Shen Yanxi's temper became even worse.

"I'll give you ten minutes. I'll call someone over right away to remove the needle. Come back with me."

She felt upset when she thought about how her children had been living lately.

Without He Lingchuan, the children's quality of life has plummeted.

The nanny is simply not good at taking care of the child.

"Shen Yanxi, you manipulated my mind before, and now you want to take my life too?"

He Lingchuan's lips were pale, and he looked like he might faint at any moment.

He suddenly laughed out loud, as if he had taken it all in stride, and raised his hand with the needle in it: "Come on, I'll give you my life, are you satisfied now?"
