"Don't cry." The man closed his eyes, suppressing the pain in them. "I won't force you anymore, Wanwan, don't cry."

Qiao Wanwan wiped away her tears. "I'll go make something to eat."

She went into the kitchen, immediately closed the door, sat on the floor, and covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out loud.

Through the glass door, Zhan Jingting could see her sitting on the ground and feel the sadness emanating from her.

He was too impatient; he shouldn't have pressured her like that.

He should give her some time.

He can definitely take her away from the swamp of suffering, he definitely can.

......

For half a month, Qiao Wanwan stayed in the hospital taking care of Zhan Jingting without going anywhere else.

On a peaceful afternoon, the news of the Qiao Group's bankruptcy caused a huge uproar in the capital.

When Qiao Wanwan saw this news, she couldn't help but be curious. The Qiao Group was a powerful company and it was impossible for it to go bankrupt so easily.

Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but look at the man on the hospital bed. "Zhan Jingting, is this your doing?"

Besides him, she couldn't think of anyone else who could have destroyed the Qiao Group in such a short time.

Zhan Jingting remained noncommittal, instead asking, "You pity the Qiao family?"

Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "Of course not."

There's no time for hatred, how could there be any pity!

"Wanwan, I will not let anyone who hurts you go unpunished. The Qiao family is just an appetizer."

Qiao Wanwan lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze. "Zhan Jingting, the doctor said your injuries have almost healed and you can be discharged. It's time for you to... fulfill your promise and divorce me."

Zhan Jingting's gaze darkened slightly. "I still feel very unwell and cannot be discharged from the hospital. Even if I am discharged, you will have to take care of me at home."

"But......"

"No buts." Zhan Jingting interrupted her. "Go call the doctor. I feel tightness in my chest."

"Oh." Qiao Wanwan got up and walked out of the ward; her chest still felt tight.

Qiao Wanwan was hanging her head, not paying attention to what was in front of her, and accidentally bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry." Qiao Wanwan hurriedly apologized, but when she looked up, she saw a face full of anger.

"Qiao Wanwan, you're really something!" Qiao Yuqi raised her hand to slap her, but Qiao Wanwan grabbed her wrist with lightning speed.

"Slap!" A slap landed on Qiao Yuqi's face!

Qiao Yuqi covered her aching left cheek. "You dare hit me?"

"Hitting you isn't a big deal, is it? You deserve it, after all." Qiao Wanwan sneered. "Qiao Yuqi, did I say I wouldn't settle scores with you? Did you think I hadn't shown up these past few days because I was afraid of you?"

She originally planned to settle accounts with Zhan Jingting after he recovered and divorced her, but she didn't expect Qiao Yuqi to come to her door herself.

"Of course I knew you wouldn't let this go so easily, but I never expected you could stick by Master Zhan's side and directly bring down the Qiao Group!" Qiao Yuqi trembled with anger. "Qiao Wanwan, you've eaten the Qiao family's food for so many years, and you actually repay kindness with enmity! Are you even human?!"

"Unable to salvage the situation, you resort to moral blackmail?" Qiao Wanwan chuckled. "Qiao Yuqi, you're truly pathetic. I imagine the Gu family will dislike you even more now that the Qiao Group is gone?"

Qiao Yuqi recalled the scene of being turned away by Gu Yanfeng when she went to the Gu family for help these past few days, and her face became even colder. She raised her hand to hit her again.

This time, it was another long and beautiful hand that stopped her.

Qiao Wanwan turned her head and saw a handsome face.

"Lin Mo? What are you doing here?"

"I work here." Lin Mo smiled at her, pushed Qiao Yuqi away, and a hint of coldness appeared on his refined and handsome face. "Miss, this is a hospital, not your backyard. Please have some self-respect."

Qiao Yuqi sneered, "You, Qiao Wanwan, I really underestimated you. Even at a time like this, you can still hook up with men and protect yourself. You're still too green to fight me. We'll see. I'll make you kneel down and beg me sooner or later!"

Qiao Wanwan waited until Qiao Yuqi was out of sight before turning her gaze away and smiling at Lin Mo, "So you came back to work at this hospital this time."

"Yes, I just started working here a couple of days ago." Lin Mo smiled warmly. "Thank you for your recognition. What brings you here?"

"My friend lives here first."

Lin Mo glanced at the door of the VIP ward and smiled, "I'm here to check on you. The person staying here is Zhan Jingting, who is also your husband, right?"

Qiao Wanwan nodded, quickly realizing what was going on, "You've come at the right time, he's having chest problems, you should go and see him right away!"

"good."

The two entered the ward, and Qiao Wanwan said, "Zhan Jingting, the doctor is here. He's a very skilled doctor. Let him give you a thorough examination."

Zhan Jingting looked at the man in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly. "Where is the previous doctor?"

"This is the new Dr. Lin, who came specifically to check on you."

"Qiao Wanwan, you know quite a lot," Zhan Jingting sneered. "Are you very familiar with him?"

"This is the doctor I told you about, my attending physician Lin Mo. He's really amazing. Don't be stubborn, let him examine you properly."

The man's handsome face was taut. "I have my OCD."

Qiao Wanwan was stunned, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably!

Zhan Jingting realized something and hurriedly explained, "Wanwan, I didn't mean anything by it."

"Wanwan, it's alright." Lin Mo held Qiao Wanwan's shoulders. "I'll take you out to rest for a while. Let another doctor come here."

Zhan Jingting's pupils suddenly contracted, his face turned ashen, and his voice was as cold as raindrops falling from a glacier, "Let her go."
