Late is Not Late

Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...

Chapter 488 Transfer to another hospital

Ji Wan met his scrutinizing gaze without flinching, a chilling smile spreading across her pale lips. "Who I contact and what I plan to do have nothing to do with you, Chi Wenyan. The only thing you need to do now is to get out of my way."

Her voice was not loud, but it was resounding and firm, leaving no room for argument.

"What if I don't let her?" Chi Wenyan's voice was hoarse from extreme repression, and every word was filled with a hint of desperate stubbornness. He couldn't, he absolutely couldn't let her take risks with Nian Nian, especially under the instigation of that woman Zhao Xiyue.

"Not allowed?" Ji Wan repeated these two words softly, and the coldness in his eyes almost froze the air around him.

"Then let's give it a try. Chi Wenyan, do you think you can stop me now? For that Su Jiujiu, you can even ignore Nian Nian's life and death. Now you are pretending to be so hypocritical. Who are you acting for?"

"I didn't ignore Nian Nian." Chi Wenyan almost growled, his solid chest heaving with intense emotion. "I will handle Su Jiujiu's matter cleanly. I will definitely find the most suitable person for Nian Nian's bone marrow. Why, why won't you trust me again?"

"Believe it?" Ji Wan laughed out loud as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. However, there was no joy in her laughter, only endless sadness and mockery.

"Chi Wenyan, your trust has long been worthless to me, Ji Wan. It was you who crushed it with your own hands."

She didn't say another word to him, turned around resolutely, and reached out to pull out the cold instrument tubes connected to Nian Nian's body.

"Stop." Chi Wenyan's heart was broken. He stepped forward like lightning and grabbed her wrist tightly. The force was so great that it almost crushed Ji Wan's wrist bone. She gasped in pain.

“Let go.” Ji Wan struggled violently, his eyes as fierce as a mother wolf who was forced into a desperate situation and vowed to protect her cubs. “Chi Wenyan, if you touch me again, I will fight you to the death.”

Their eyes met, and the air was filled with the smell of tension.

The atmosphere in the small ward was extremely depressing, and even breathing was painful.

Chi Wenyan stared at the desperate determination and monstrous hatred in her eyes. His heart tightened inch by inch, and the pain was unbearable, as if it was being kneaded by an invisible hand.

He clearly realized that at this moment, any words of comfort would be pale and powerless for Ji Wan.

Her heart had died the moment he chose to remain silent.

His hands, in unspeakable pain, finally fell down slowly and powerlessly with restraint.

"...Which hospital are you taking her to?" He spoke with great difficulty, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from a dry throat, with a bloody taste.

Ji Wan did not answer his question, but just glanced at him with extreme indifference, and then began to organize Nian Nian's small belongings in an orderly manner.

She had already contacted one of the top private hospitals in the country, which has the world's leading medical equipment and the most authoritative team of experts.

The most important thing is that there will no longer be any wanton interference from Chi Wenyan, and there will no longer be any shadow cast by that bitch Su Jiujiu.

It didn't take long before a well-equipped private hospital ambulance and professional-looking medical staff arrived quickly.

When the experienced medical staff carefully transferred Nian Nian from the cold hospital bed to a more comfortable and safe mobile incubator, Ji Wan stayed by her side the entire time.

Her eyes were so gentle that water could drip from them, and every subtle movement was filled with maternal radiance, completely different from the cold and cruel way she had treated Chi Wenyan just now.

Chi Wenyan stood stiffly at the door of the ward, like a cold sculpture with all its soul and vitality sucked away. He could only watch Ji Wan follow Nian Nian closely, and walk away step by step under the crowd of medical staff. Her back was resolute and aloof, and she gradually disappeared at the end of the long corridor without a trace of nostalgia.

He wanted to chase after him and shout at the top of his lungs, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't lift them at all.

Wanwan, don't trust Zhao Xiyue.

She will destroy you and also destroy our last hope of finding a way out for Nian Nian.

But, if he said these words again now, would Ji Wan still listen? Would she still believe it?

No, she can't. Not a single word.

He raised his hands in pain and closed his eyes tightly. The heavy feeling of powerlessness and despair was like a surging tide, completely swallowing him up and suffocating him.

In the empty ward, there was only the monotonous ticking sound of the cold instruments, the messy bed, and the cruel truth about Su Jiujiu's bone marrow that he had never been able to tell.

It’s not that he is unwilling to use it, but Su Jiujiu, that vicious woman, is not worthy of donating bone marrow to Nian Nian.

But how could Ji Wan believe these, these hardships and hidden secrets that he couldn't refute? She would only regard them as another of his despicable lies and excuses.

Chi Wenyan covered his face with his palms in pain, and a burning pain spread from his eye sockets.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The elevator door at the end of the corridor opened with a "ding" sound, and Zhao Xiyue almost stumbled out. Her high heels made a rapid and slightly messy "tapping" sound on the mirror-like floor.

Her face was filled with obvious anxiety and a hint of shock that had not yet completely dissipated, until she saw the VIP ward with soft lights on.

And a familiar figure vaguely visible at the door.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but her pace quickened.

"Wanwan!" Zhao Xiyue pushed open the half-open door of the ward, her voice filled with a hint of anxious panting, and her eyes immediately locked onto Ji Wan who was standing beside the bed.

Ji Wan turned around upon hearing the voice. Her face showed the fatigue of a sleepless night, but her eyes were more peaceful than they had been at the previous hospital. She looked at Zhao Xiyue who rushed in, slightly surprised, and then nodded lightly.

"Xiyue, why are you here?"

"I heard that you transferred Nian Nian here. I was worried, so I came to check on you."

Zhao Xiyue walked quickly to the bedside, and her eyes were immediately attracted by the small incubator surrounded by various precision instruments.

Looking clearly at Nian Nian's peaceful little face inside the incubator, although her breathing still needed assistance, her complexion was a little rosier than before, and her overall condition was much more stable.

Her heartstrings, which had been tense all the way, suddenly relaxed.

A huge, indescribable feeling of ecstasy and bitterness surged into Zhao Xiyue's heart. Her eyes instantly turned red, and her voice became nasal: "Nian Nian, she looks much better."
