Yun Shanhe paced back and forth in the hotel, unable to understand how the Yun family had come to this point, when everything had always been fine.

A few months ago, seeing that Qin Yan could no longer stand up and had been avoiding showing his face in front of others, Qin's second uncle even announced in a high-profile manner that Qin Yan had been excluded from the Qin family.

However, in just three months, Qin Yan rose again and regained control of the Qin family business, which put him in a difficult situation.

In the past, relying on the marriage agreement between the two families, he tried his best to curry favor with Qin Yan, but Qin Yan refused to give him the chance and pushed him too far. Later, when Zhou Yue suggested driving Yun Nuan away, he agreed without thinking.

Yun Nuan is no longer of any value. Keeping her in the Yun family is of no use whatsoever. All these years, she has only been there to maintain relations with the Qin family.

He took good care of Yun Nuan, showering her with medicine and money. If it weren't for him, Yun Nuan would have left with that woman Lin Yuyan long ago.

He's not wrong at all to bring Yun Nuan back now. Blame Zhou Yue. He felt disgusted by his ex-wife's daughter, and he was just trying to make her happy. Who knew that this stupid woman would make such a wrong decision?

After thinking for a moment, he asked his secretary to quickly find out where Yun Nuan was. He heard that the two of them had attended the banquet together last time, which meant that Qin Yan still cared about their childhood betrothal.

Lin Yuyan, that woman, finally accomplished one thing for him.

People came to visit Yun Nuan's hospital room every day, but no one could get her to speak. She spent more and more time looking out the window throughout the day, and she stopped listening to Aunt Lan's words.

Jiang Miao and the others had no choice. They had received a call from Qin Yan, whose first words were that he wanted them to come and see Yun Nuan, though they didn't understand what he meant.

After she mentioned this in the group chat, some people came claiming they could get in touch with Qin Yan, while Jiang Miao, Lin Yu, and others came because of Yun Nuan.

In just over a week, Yun Nuan seemed to have lost all her vitality.

Her eyes wouldn't move; she just kept looking out the window with her face turned to the side, and she didn't react to anything they did.

Qin Yan tried many methods to establish more connections between herself and the world, and even hired a psychologist, but no matter what she did, she wouldn't respond to someone who was unwilling to speak.

Even the psychologist couldn't talk to her.

After seeing them off, I turned back and scooped up a spoonful of the nearly finished medicinal meal and put it to her lips.

"Take some medicine. It's not as bitter today. Try it first. If you don't like it, let me know and I'll talk to the doctor about it later."

More than a minute later, she finally moved her eyes, gently took the spoon in her mouth, and drank it down. Her expression remained unchanged, even though the medicinal soup was clearly very bitter, really very bitter.

Qin Yan had just tried it and couldn't help but frown, but for her, it was like plain water.

"Warmth." He called softly.

Yun Nuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes flickered briefly before returning to stillness. Qin Yan didn't notice her change, only sighing helplessly.

"It's okay to talk about your pain, no one will blame you, no one will find you troublesome. We're just angry with ourselves. You did nothing wrong. We can't understand how much pain you're in, but you're the bravest person here."

And you don't know, we all tried this medicine, and no one could stand it. Only you were exceptional; you drank it down without even blinking.

They also said that if you were in wartime, you would never betray us; who could keep a tight tongue like you?

Qin Yan said so much, but she remained silent. Qin Yan was not discouraged. After feeding her the medicine, he adjusted the bed so she could rest.

"Get a good night's sleep tonight, and we can go back tomorrow. You definitely don't like the smell of the hospital, right? We can go back tomorrow, and the glass greenhouse will be finished soon. You can play in it as long as you want then."

He put the pillow away, applied medicine to the back of her hand, tidied the blanket, and then touched her head.

"I'm working on some documents next door and I'll be right back. If you're in a hurry, my phone is right next to me. Just press 1 to contact me. Don't worry."

After adjusting the brightness of the nightlight, Qin Yan left the ward.

Yun Nuan turned to look at his figure, broad and solid. He hadn't raised his voice these past few days. He had taken over all the work that Aunt Lan did, finishing it for her and then rushing to work in the office next door. He even said that he wasn't a burden.

Who has to stay in the hospital all the time? The weariness between his brows grew more and more pronounced each day. Occasionally, you could hear him in the next room, hushed and scolding those who hadn't done their reports properly or whose plans were inadequate.

She closed her eyes sadly. Everyone was carefully taking care of her feelings, but she was the only one who was being unreasonable. Why was she so unreasonable?

She bit her lip and cried silently, occasionally choking up. She didn't want to be like this, but she was so tired.

Taking medicine is tiring, getting injections is tiring, eating is tiring, vomiting is tiring, endless physical examinations are tiring, and the daily chest pain is tiring.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She clutched her chest, her heart aching.

Qin Yan returned, and the person on the bed was already crying her eyes out. He sat by the bedside, his hands trembling slightly, and hugged her tightly.

Words stuck in his throat, and he could only gently pat her back.

"Relax, relax. Too much emotional fluctuation will make your heart uncomfortable. Warm, relax, relax."

His gentle, deep voice, with a certain guidance, gradually calmed her emotions; she tried hard to hold back. Qin Yan's aura was so warm, like soft cotton, like the sun.

Tears blurred her face, and strands of hair were stuck to it.

Qin Yan suppressed a laugh and took out a wet wipe to clean the area bit by bit, his eyes clearly showing a playful expression.

"I thought you were indifferent, but I didn't expect you to be a crying puppy hiding under the covers. Are you trying to break our hearts?"

Yun Nuan clenched her fist and punched him, telling him to shut up.

Qin Yan wouldn't let her have her way, so she pretended to wail and said, "Your strength is quite strong. You don't look like a patient at all. Maybe you'll be fine when you get back."

He gathered her loose hair and tucked the strands near her ears. He hadn't asked her why she was crying since he came in, as if it were just a simple gesture.

With him, Yun Nuan could do whatever she wanted. He was even relieved, which meant that Yun Nuan was not unaware of their feelings. She felt guilty and her emotions were much better than before.

"After crying for so long, drink some water to replenish your energy."

The thermos with a straw was kept filled with warm water so she could drink whenever she wanted.

She lowered her head, took two sips, and then pushed him away, her other hand tightly gripping his hem. Qin Yan, who had originally intended to ask her if she wanted to go to sleep, changed his mind.

"If you can't sleep, would you like to come next door with me?"
