Hearing Fang Yiyi's screams, many people ran out, and their expressions changed drastically when they saw Fang Yiyi in the stairwell.

"Quickly, save them!"

The doctor rushed over to check on Fang Yiyi. Fang Yiyi was in so much pain that she almost fainted, but she still pointed at Xia Lan.

“Nurse Fang, although I don’t know why you pushed my wife, I won’t let this go. I saw the whole thing—you tried to push my wife—and I will report this to the police!”

Xia Lan looked at Fang Yiyi, and, as if frightened, nestled in Qin Yu's arms. Qin Yu held the 'frightened' Xia Lan and said coldly to Fang Yiyi.

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, everyone who had initially thought that Xia Lan had pushed Fang Yiyi was surprised to find that it was Fang Yiyi who had tried to push Xia Lan. Their gazes toward Fang Yiyi changed.

"Save lives first! We can deal with this later!"

The doctor examined Fang Yiyi and determined that she had likely suffered a fracture. He called for a stretcher and carried Fang Yiyi away.

Qin Yu escorted Xia Lan back to her room, and Xiao Chun immediately followed. As soon as she entered the ward, she grabbed Xia Lan and looked her over.

"Comrade Xia Lan, are you alright?" Xiao Chun asked.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine!"

Xia Lan smiled and shook her head.

"I just saw it too. Fang Yiyi tried to push you, your husband lunged at you, and you lunged at your husband in return, which is how you dodged Fang Yiyi and fell down the stairs!"

Xiaochun had just heard some noise and came out, only to witness Fang Yiyi committing the crime.

"I was terrified! If she had pushed you, you might have been the one falling down the stairs!"

Xiaochun was still shaken; she had been completely terrified.

"I'm about to report this to the police. Can you be my witness, Xiaochun?"

Xia Lan looked at Xiao Chun and asked for her opinion.

Given Qin Yu's relationship with her, the police may not necessarily believe Qin Yu's testimony.

But if it's Xiaochun, then there's no problem.

"Of course!"

Xiaochun nodded and patted her chest.

"Thank you!"

Xia Lan smiled at Xiao Chun.

Qin Yu, leaning on his cane, went to call the police.

The police quickly located Xia Lan and Qin Yu.

"Did you report it to the police?"

Two police officers, a man and a woman, asked the question.

"Yes, officer, I want to accuse Comrade Fang Yiyi of trying to harm me!"

Xia Lan said to the police.

"Please describe the whole process in detail!"

Upon hearing Xia Lan's words, the two exchanged a glance, took out their notebooks, and looked serious.

Xia Lan nodded and recounted her conversation with Fang Yiyi in the stairwell and Fang Yiyi's actions just now.

After listening to Xia Lan's words, the two police officers looked at Qin Yu.

"Is this your husband, Qin Yu?"

"yes."

Xia Lan nodded.

"Comrade Qin Yu, please tell me about the whole process you witnessed."

The male police officer said to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu also recounted what he had just seen.

"Officer, and me too, I saw it with my own eyes! It was Fang Yiyi who tried to push Comrade Xia Lan, but she missed and fell down the stairs!"

Xiaochun, who was standing nearby, was afraid that the police wouldn't ask her, so she quickly spoke up.

"You saw it too?"

The policewoman looked at Xiaochun, and Xiaochun nodded heavily.

"I had just finished changing the dressing for the patient in ward 302 when I heard a noise outside and went out to take a look. I saw Comrade Fang Yiyi trying to push Comrade Xia Lan from behind!"

"If it weren't for Comrade Xia Lan's husband, she might very well have been pushed down the stairs by her."

Xiaochun said earnestly.

"Can you take me to see it?"

The policewoman was very responsible and asked Xiaochun to take her to see the place. Xiaochun kindly led her out.

The two police officers were very responsible. In addition to Xiaochun, they also asked people in other wards to see if anyone else had witnessed the incident.

Fortunately, another patient who came out to get water at the time also witnessed the whole thing.

Just like Xiaochun said, they all witnessed Fang Yiyi trying to push someone but ending up falling herself instead.

The two nodded, returned to the ward, told Qin Yu and Xia Lan that they would let them know if there was any progress, and then left.

After everything was taken care of, Qin Yu held Xia Lan tightly for a long time, unwilling to let go.

Xia Lan was held so tightly by Qin Yu that she couldn't move. The strong male hormones emanating from him filled her nostrils and were so hot that she almost suffocated.

"Brother Yu..."

Xia Lan was about to ask Qin Yu to loosen his grip a little when she felt him trembling slightly.

She paused for a moment, then looked up at Qin Yu, but Qin Yu had his eyes closed and was holding her.

That slight tremor betrayed that Qin Yu's heart was not at peace.

"I almost thought I was going to lose you!"

Qin Yu's voice revealed a hint of vulnerability and fear; his heart had stopped for a moment just now.

She had never been so scared before, afraid that Fang Yiyi's hand would push her down the stairs.

If Xia Lan had fallen, Qin Yu would definitely have killed Fang Yiyi.

"I'm fine!"

Xia Lan hugged Qin Yu and repeated it to him over and over again.

"Brother Yu, look at me, open your eyes and look at me, I'm fine!"

Xia Lan hugged Qin Yu tightly, feeling sorry for him. She didn't know that Qin Yu would come out to find her.

She had deliberately revealed a weakness just now because she knew Fang Yiyi would definitely make a move against her.

She had been secretly watching Fang Yiyi's every move.

She just didn't know that Qin Yu would actually come out to find her.

Seeing that he was indeed frightened, Xia Lan also felt a little regretful.

"Um."

Qin Yu held Xia Lan tightly, refusing to let go.
