Luo Chen's handsome face, which was originally filled with anger, was now filled with self-reproach. If he hadn't ignored the advice, and if his aunt hadn't made him come back immediately, who knows how things would have turned out today.

"Find a way to bring her fever down as soon as possible. If she becomes an idiot, I'll tear down your hospital," he ordered Nangong Jiu.

After Nangong Jiu finished explaining what he wanted to say, he turned around and went out to call the nurse, who gave his sister-in-law another examination and changed her medication.

At midnight, the fever finally subsided, and Mo Xiaotuo, tormented by the illness, was extremely pale.

At this moment, many familiar yet unfamiliar images flashed through Mo Xiaotuo's mind, fragmented and unable to connect.

She gripped the sheets tightly, cold sweat pouring down her forehead. One image froze, blocking out all the others. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and sat up.

What, what place is this?

She panicked when she saw everything around her was white.

"You're awake!" Luo Chen's icy voice rang out.

Mo Xiaotuo felt the temperature drop several degrees, so she quickly covered her face with the blanket.

What is he doing here?

"What did I tell you before? Call me if anything happens. Are you deaf or deliberately trying to mess with me?" Luo Chen yanked the blanket off Mo Xiaotuo's hand and roared angrily.

Mo Xiaotuo also exploded upon hearing this. She stared coldly at Luo Chen and retorted, "Mr. Luo, how many times did I call you yesterday? Can you blame me for not answering? Even if you were busy at the time, couldn't you have called me back when you were done?"

yes!

She called him several times yesterday, but he was angry and didn't answer. Whose fault is that?

Luo Chen's anger gradually subsided. He looked at the thin but stubborn girl and softened. Because of his strong sense of pride, he did not apologize.

"Where's your phone?" His tone was noticeably gentler.

"Damn it." Mo Xiaotuo uttered two words, recalling what had happened in his mind, his face turned even more pale, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

broken?

Luo Chen suddenly remembered that Mo Xiaotuo's phone had been on the dining table. It was an extremely old phone, at least ten years old. It was normal for it to break after being used for so long. Why didn't he tell him it was broken?

"Get some rest. I'll ask for leave for you at school. Stay away from those scumbags in the future." He said irritably, then got up and left the ward.

Mo Xiaotuo was very flustered. She knew that if Luo Chen didn't arrive in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Pan Lei is such a scumbag, he's absolutely despicable!

She clutched the blanket tightly, the usually strong woman curled up into a ball, trembling as she covered her mouth and cried.

Luo Chen originally wanted to come back and ask her what kind of phone she liked, but when he heard the sobbing sound while standing at the door, he panicked and, not knowing how to comfort her, chose to remain at the door.

Nangong Jiu was about to go in to change his sister-in-law's dressing when he heard the crying. He secretly glanced at Brother Chen.

My sister-in-law is so sick, how could Brother Chen still make her cry?

"Brother Chen, women need to be coaxed. You can't do this." Wang Fugui arrived and couldn't help but offer a word of advice upon hearing the crying inside.

Luo Chen glared at Wang Fugui and turned to leave.

Wang Fugui shook his head helplessly: "When did Brother Chen become so tongue-tied? I'll go and coax him!"

Snap!

Jiang Kai slapped Wang Fugui on the back of the head and muttered, "Are you brain-dead? This is how a married couple interacts, why are you meddling?"

He felt that since Brother Chen had agreed to get married, he should put effort into managing the marriage, even if it was only for a year. He should show some commitment. What happened today was enough for Brother Chen to reflect on his actions.

At that moment, Luo Chen was smoking in the other corridor, leaning against a bench and looking at the empty corridor.

His aunt's words echoed in his ears, making him, a man who had never thought about getting married or taking responsibility for marriage, fall into deep thought.

When I agreed to marry my grandmother, it wasn't just to make her happy, but also to see if my heart, which had been lonely for so many years, could find a safe harbor.

He carries a scar in his heart, a scar that will never heal, which is why he suffers from severe fear of marriage. Having experienced so much, he harbors many secrets hidden deep within his heart that he dares not confront.

This whirlwind marriage was a gamble for him; he was betting that his cold heart might find some warmth.

"It's not shameful to apologize to your wife." Jiang Kai walked over and sat down next to Brother Chen.

Luo Chen smoked without saying a word.

Seeing that Brother Chen remained silent, Jiang Kai wisely left.

In the ward, Mo Xiaotuo, exhausted from crying, gradually fell asleep. After Mo Xiaotuo fell asleep, Nangong Jiu led a nurse in to give her a check-up.

Aside from the injury on his forehead which still needs a few days to heal, he's perfectly fine to be discharged and go home.

After spending the night in the corridor, Luo Chen carried Mo Xiaotuo into the car early the next morning.

Jiang Kai drove them back to the apartment, and he eagerly followed after them.

After carefully placing the person on the bed, Luo Chen planned to go back to his room to take a shower and rest, but found Jiang Kai still sitting in the living room.

"What, you want to stay in the guest room? There's no bed in the guest room." He ripped off his tie and threw it aside.

Jiang Kai looked at Luo Chen hesitantly, and after a while he finally spoke: "Last night, Fu Gui said that someone saw my cousin in Country C."

"What did you say? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Luo Chen stood up agitatedly.

Seeing Chen Ge's attitude, Jiang Kai was truly worried about his sister-in-law in the house.

“Seeing how worried you were about your sister-in-law yesterday, so…” Jiang Kai explained.

"Can she compare to my cousin?" Luo Chen asked directly, then felt a pang of sadness in his chest.

Jiang Kai...

The hall fell silent, and after a while, two doors opened.

Mo Xiaotuo woke up in the house and wanted to go out to get some water, when she overheard the conversation between the two people in the living room.

It turns out the person he liked was his cousin. Cousins ​​marrying is considered close kinship, no wonder he didn't dare to say it.

Mo Xiaotuo thought she understood Luo Chen's heart, and she mocked herself: "Mo Xiaotuo, there's no such thing as a free lunch. People get married just to find a shield."

never mind!

I've always been alone, I'm used to it, and being alone is fine.

She composed herself, opened the door to her room, and went to the kitchen to boil water.

When she carried the hot water out of the kitchen, she saw someone change clothes and come out of the house.

When their eyes met, Luo Chen actually felt a little guilty.

"You get some rest. I have to go to the company. I'll take you out for lunch when I get back." He told his wife where he was going, and felt that he was very different from an ordinary couple.

"No need to trouble Mr. Luo, I'm not that delicate. Thank you for saving me yesterday. I'll treat you to a nice meal when I feel better." Mo Xiaotuo didn't dare to promise anything else, but she felt she could certainly treat him to a meal.
