Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
"His condition has come down now, but it may rise again tonight because his immune system is too weak, so his condition keeps fluctuating."
Zhou Heng patiently explained.
Xu Wan realized that her question was inappropriate after she asked it.
The hospital staff were responsible for taking care of Jiang Tingzhou and had no obligation to answer all her questions.
"Okay, thank you. I was just so worried when he had a fever." Xu Wan reached out and took the man's hand, looking at his thin face. "Can... I stay here with him?"
Zhou Heng thought for a moment, "Although it's past the appointed time, if you need breakfast, I can have someone bring it over."
Xu Wanzhe realized that he hadn't eaten anything after getting off the plane last night. He was actually quite hungry, but he was so worried about Jiang Tingzhou that he had put the matter out of his mind.
When Zhou Heng asked, she realized her stomach was a little empty and uncomfortable, so she quickly said, "Okay, thank you very much."
Zhou Heng left.
About seven or eight minutes later, a nurse brought the food over.
Xu Wan finished her meal outside and then returned to the ward.
The nurse went in with her and removed the IV tube from the man's left hand. The man needed long-term IV fluids, so a needle was implanted in his left hand.
Xu Wan pulled a chair to the left side of the man's bed and sat down, gently covering the man's wrist with her hand.
The man's wrists were cold because of the IV drip, and Xu Wan tried her best to warm them up with her own body heat.
The nurse left with the IV bag, leaving only the two of them in the ward.
Xu Wan looked at Jiang Tingzhou quietly. She wondered if it was because of his illness, but the man looked extremely haggard.
Xu Wan thought the man would wake up soon, but she sat in the ward for a long time, until the sun was about to set, and the man was still unconscious.
Xu Wan panicked completely.
She had taken care of Xiaoxiao before, and even when she had a high fever, she never fell into a coma for such a long time.
If this were truly the case, doctors in China certainly wouldn't ignore it!
Xu Wan finally couldn't sit still any longer.
She got up and left the ward.
I had just stepped outside the ward when I saw that the room outside was empty.
She went outside and saw the doctor talking to a woman.
The woman was blonde with blue eyes, her long hair flowing freely. She wore a loose-fitting long dress, but even so, it was clear that her belly was swollen, indicating that she was pregnant.
Hearing the noise at the door, the woman turned her head to look over.
The setting sun shone on the woman's long, golden hair.
Even though Xu Wan had never met this woman, her incredibly strong sixth sense told her that she could only think of one name.
"Melissa?"
Xu Wan couldn't help but call out the name.
The blonde woman smiled and looked Xu Wan up and down, asking in Chinese, "I know you. You're Xu Wan, right?"
Xu Wan didn't know how Melissa knew about her.
She did not answer.
Melissa brushed her long hair aside and walked a few steps to Xu Wan. "You don't need to be so wary of me. After all, he and I are in the past."
“No,” Xu Wan finally spoke, “He said he and you never started anything.”
In Xu Wan and Jiang Tingzhou's relationship, she could hardly help the man.
All she could do was trust him.
Melissa crossed her arms over her chest; her figure appeared even more voluptuous due to her pregnancy. "Look at me like this, do you really think there's nothing between him and me?"
“Maybe.” Xu Wan said decisively, “If he were the kind of person who would do something to any woman with a good figure and pretty face, then it wouldn’t be you.”
Melissa paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Hahaha, you Chinese woman, you're so funny."
"..."
“I never understood why Ryan would suddenly fall for a widow with a child, but now I think I understand. You are... really smart.”
Melissa took two more steps forward and looked Xu Wan up and down again. "But we're both women. You can fool him with what you're thinking, but you can't fool me."
