“They are husband and wife, so I think it would be better to put their wards together. This would help Lin Banxia’s mood improve and her body recover faster.”

"With family by his side, Comrade Song Mingqian might wake up sooner."

The Cheng family was extremely worried that something might happen to Lin Banxia and Song Mingqian.

Upon hearing that there was a way to improve their situation, Song Xunying didn't hesitate at all and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let's do as you say, doctor."

-

During this period, Shen Zhihuan was either at the hospital or back home dealing with family matters, and didn't have much time to meet with Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan.

Naturally, they knew nothing about what was happening on their side.

Shen Zhihuan also needs to cooperate in handling Luo Mao's affairs.

Just a few days after Luo Mao's attempt to defile her failed and he was caught red-handed and taken to the police station, his sentence was handed down.

Right now, there's a crackdown on hooliganism, and given how he committed such a heinous crime, he's basically locked up in prison for good, and he'll never be released.

But to Shen Zhihuan's surprise, Luo Mao harassed not only her, but also other girls.

With all his crimes combined, the prosecution sentenced him to death.

In just a few days, he will be sent to the execution ground and shot.

Given this outcome, it can only be said that Luo Mao deserved it. When everyone heard about it, they wanted to spit on him and felt no sympathy whatsoever.

It's just a pity for Xie Youran. Not only has she not enjoyed a single good day since she got married, but she also has to become a widow at a young age.

The Xie family was afraid she might do something rash, so they spent the last few days trying to calm her down.

“You Ran, I know you’re not feeling well either, but Luo Mao isn’t a good man. Leaving him is actually a good thing for you.”

“I know that after what happened last time, I’ve completely come to terms with it. Even if Luo Mao hadn’t died, I would still have divorced him.”

Xie Youran's body has not fully recovered yet, and her face looks extremely pale.

"I just feel guilty. I misjudged people and married a beast. I never expected that Luo Mao would target other girls besides me."

"Zhihuan and Lanshen haven't even officially registered their marriage yet, and I've dragged them into this mess. I... I really don't know how to apologize to you."

Shen Zhihuan sat down on the sofa and gently took her hand.

"Don't think like that, Sister You Ran. None of this has anything to do with you. The one who did evil is that beast Luo Mao. In this matter, you are also a victim."

Luo Mao has now confessed everything.

The reason he was so adept at drugging Xie Youran was because it wasn't the first time he had done it.

Although Xie Youran was a bit soft-hearted, if she really knew about the despicable things he had done, she would definitely not sit idly by.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Luo Mao would always drug Xie Youran before taking action against his newly targeted "prey".

Her body was damaged as a result, and she knew nothing about it, so she was naturally innocent.

"Zhihuan, thank you for forgiving me."

Xie Youran smiled gratefully at Chen Zhihuan, but her eyes still held a hint of melancholy.

"I was too cowardly. If I had overcome my fear sooner and stood up to expose Luo Mao's domestic violence, maybe so many girls wouldn't have suffered at his hands."

Even if the price is that she has to be beaten a thousand times more, it doesn't matter.

Looking at Xie Youran's guilty eyes, Shen Zhihuan could only sigh.

She's a foolish woman too.

The men were the ones who made the mistake, so why should she punish herself for theirs?

“Sister You Ran, if you really feel that your personality is not good enough, it’s not too late to make changes now.”

"But I'm no longer a young girl, and I'm about to become a widow. Is it really too late?"

"Of course, whether you are married or have children, it's never too late as long as you have the determination to make a change."

Shen Zhihuan looked into Xie Youran's eyes and smiled gently at him.

Is it never too late?

Xie Youran muttered to herself, and looking at the light in her eyes, she seemed to have realized something, and couldn't help but laugh along.

“I understand, Zhihuan, you’re right. Life is so long. I’ve only taken the wrong path for a few years. There’s still a chance to turn back and correct it. There’s no need to trap myself in a mistake for the rest of my life.”

Fearing that Xie Youran would be sad, Zhao Haiyin and Grandma Xie originally wanted to handle the matters at the police station for her.

But now that she's come to terms with it, she's taken the initiative to handle the matter herself.

Seeing that Xie Youran's mood had finally cleared up, the Xie family finally felt at ease.

After finishing her business at home, Shen Zhihuan rushed to the hospital immediately.

Not long after entering the hospital, before even reaching the inpatient department, I was stopped by Dr. Liu.

“Miss Chen, you haven’t been to the hospital these past few days, so you probably don’t know yet, but Comrade Song Mingqian has been moved to a different ward and is no longer staying in his original room.”

"Yeah?"

Shen Zhihuan was somewhat surprised. After inquiring, she learned that the hospital had made the decision after considering Song Mingqian's physical condition.

She didn't ask any more questions, thanked them, and walked towards the new ward.

When they got to the corridor, they ran right into the Cheng family, who were carrying insulated containers to deliver food.

As soon as they saw her coming, the Cheng family greeted her very warmly.

"Miss Chen, you've arrived."

"You've been taking care of Mingqian and Driver Wang's health all this time. We are truly grateful for your hard work."

Shen Zhihuan smiled and waved her hand: "This is what I should do. Even if we didn't have a relationship between our two families, I would definitely come to help if the army needed me. Uncle and Aunt, you don't need to be so polite with me."

"Oh, responsibility is responsibility, and feelings are feelings."

"I can't even remember how many times you've helped our family, Sister Zhihuan. There are so many kindnesses I can't count them all. It seems I can only repay you with myself."

Cheng Xiangling ran over with a grin and took Shen Zhihuan's arm, acting coquettishly for a while, which made everyone around them laugh.

"By the way, Sister Zhihuan, this is your first time in this ward. You probably don't know that my aunt has also moved to this room and is living with my uncle."

She paused for a moment at this point.

Although she quickly concealed it, Shen Zhihuan immediately noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern:

Is Aunt Lin not feeling well?

Even the usually lively Cheng Xiangling had a look of worry in her eyes at this moment.

She sighed and told her about what had happened recently.
