Xu Wan hadn't originally intended to hide the news from Jiang Tingzhou.
When the man asked, she simply explained the whole story.
When the topic of adding each other on WeChat came up in the afternoon, Lin Yu shared her latest news.
Lin Yu: [What do I need to do to file a lawsuit? Can I come to you for a consultation tomorrow?]
Xu Wan simply replied with a "Okay".
Then, Lin Yu sent a bunch of messages like a million questions.
After asking about working hours and lunch break, they also asked if there were any additional charges after the consultation fee was paid, etc.
No matter how many words Xu Wan replied, he didn't mind at all, and sent message after message like a perpetual motion machine.
It wasn't until Lin Yu sent the latest message that this happened.
Lin Yu: [Lawyer, how long does a lawsuit usually take? Does it usually last one or two years?]
Just as Xu Wan was about to reply, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Tingzhou pushing the roller that controls the drip rate to the top.
"What are you doing?" Xu Wan quickly pushed the roller back. "The nurse just said that this medicine can't be given quickly, it has to be given slowly, otherwise it will hurt."
"I was just trying to finish typing quickly so as not to delay you from sending messages."
Jiang Tingzhou spoke with a blank expression, but his tone was clearly sour.
Xu Wan was amused by the man's attitude. "What's going on? You're jealous of a child?"
"Didn't you say you were already a senior?" Jiang Tingzhou sighed. "You still prefer younger girls, don't you?"
"No, his mother doesn't like to interact with outsiders. He just happens to be kind-hearted and is helping his mother out. Besides, he paid all the money, so I can't just leave him hanging. Moreover, we weren't just chatting; we were talking about work."
Xu Wan didn't know if the man was just overthinking because he was sick, so she simply said, "I told him I have something to do right now and that he should come to the law firm to consult me tomorrow."
"No need, work is more important."
“No, that won’t do. You always put your work aside to be with me, so I’ll put my work aside to be with you too.”
After sending the message, Xu Wan put her phone on silent and placed it aside, then reached out and covered the man's slightly cold hand.
Just as the ward had quieted down, the sound of an ambulance siren came from outside the window.
Xu Wan hadn't taken it to heart at first.
After all, it's a hospital, so it's normal for ambulances to come and take patients.
Less than ten minutes later, a commotion broke out in the corridor.
"Knock knock knock".
The door to the ward was opened after a perfunctory knock.
Gong Yanli stood at the door and saw Xu Wan there as well. He said to Jiang Tingzhou, "Xiao Yinlan was found dead after committing suicide at home and has been brought here as well. She..."
"Dead?"
Jiang Tingzhou interrupted Gong Yanli and asked his own question first.
"No, it was a suicide attempt by cutting wrists. An Yunya found out very quickly. When it was brought here just now, An Yunya saw your car downstairs and knew you were here. She insisted on coming up, but I stopped her. Now I have bodyguards here to try to prevent her from coming up to find you. That's all for now. I'll be leaving now."
Gong Yanli brought this up right away.
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute," Jiang Tingzhou called out to him. "If she insists on coming up, just let her. We'll have to meet sooner or later, and hiding isn't going to help."
"Let me make this clear first, the hospital has no obligation to check what people are carrying. If An Yunya suddenly comes at us with a knife in her bag, don't complain!"
Miyahiko laid out the unpleasant truth upfront.
Jiang Tingzhou nodded, "Yes, I'll try my best not to die in your hospital."
Gong Yanli then left.
Xu Wan looked at Jiang Tingzhou with concern, "Do you think Miss An will come?"
"I will come." Jiang Tingzhou answered simply, then held Xu Wan's hand tightly. "But don't worry, I will protect you and myself. Otherwise, wouldn't that be letting that Lin Yu get away with it?"
"...At a time like this, you're still joking?"
"Because I don't think his enthusiasm is entirely for his mother; his main purpose is still with you."
When Jiang Tingzhou spoke, his tone and expression were full of certainty.
Xu Wan, however, did not believe she possessed that charm at all.
As the two were talking, a nurse's voice came from outside the door, "Miss An, you can't come in without registering, Miss An, Miss An..."
The nurse's voice came closer.
Soon, the door to the ward was opened.
An Yunya stood outside the door.
