To outsiders, Xu Wan was simply a widowed woman raising her daughter alone.
Ryan is a genuine eligible bachelor.
Moreover, the two people had no connection whatsoever.
To outsiders, their relationship seemed unequal, more like Xu Wan had used some underhanded tactics.
Xu Wan knew the truth.
She found Melissa's words laughable. "You're all pregnant, and this is what you're here to tell me?"
"No, I can't let you, woman, beat me to it again."
Melissa's eyes were filled with contempt for Xu Wan as she spoke.
In her view, she was beautiful and sexy, and had spent several years with men.
Xu Wan in front of her looked unremarkable, without a stunning figure or the Asian features she admired. The only redeeming quality she had was her seemingly intelligent mind.
Xu Wan ignored him. "Ryan has a high fever inside, and you're here talking about competing with me for him?"
Melissa disagreed, saying, "This is the best sanatorium; he'll get better soon."
"Why do you think he'll get better soon?" Xu Wan was almost laughing in anger. "He's had a fever for several days and has been in a coma. When I came out just now, the monitor showed a high temperature of 38.5 degrees Celsius, and it will be even higher tonight!"
Melissa looked at her. "So you came. You think this is his most vulnerable time, and that your presence here can strengthen your relationship, right?"
"I was worried about my boyfriend, so I came here to see him. You think it's to strengthen our relationship?"
At this moment, Xu Wan realized that she truly could not understand the thoughts of foreigners.
It felt like we were talking past each other.
“Otherwise what? I already know how you got here. Isn’t this the usual style of you Chinese women? Self-sacrifice, self-pity, and then moving the man. What’s that saying again…” Melissa tilted her head and thought for a moment, “If you want to win a man’s heart, you have to win his stomach first. I don’t know what the logic is in that.”
I have nothing to say to you.
Xu Wan looked at the doctor beside her and explained Jiang Tingzhou's condition in English.
The doctor said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Xu Wan wanted to go in too, but Melissa grabbed her hand.
"Let me go."
Xu Wan was worried about Jiang Tingzhou and didn't have time to waste words with her.
"You can't leave." Melissa gripped Xu Wan's hand tightly. "I have something to ask you."
They are both women.
If she uses her strength, she can definitely break free.
However, Melissa was pregnant and quite far along in her pregnancy; if she fell, she could very likely miscarry.
Xu Wan could only suppress her anger and ask, "What do you want to ask?"
"Why did Ryan suddenly fall in love with you? What did you do?" Melissa stared at her with her deep blue eyes. "What made him suddenly fall in love with you?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
Xu Wan knew she couldn't say that Ryan was related to Jiang Tingzhou.
Melissa said, "Of course you don't have to tell me, but your daughter is in China now, right? No one is protecting her, she..."
"You're not allowed to touch my daughter!" Xu Wan didn't even wait for her to finish speaking before she exploded on the spot, "If your target is Ryan, then compete with me openly and fairly. What kind of skill is it to try to harm my daughter?"
"Of course I will compete with you."
"But you're pregnant, and this child isn't Ryan's. You're carrying someone else's child and you're trying to compete with me for Ryan's?"
Xu Wan found it all laughable after she finished speaking.
“The child is my business, but I love him. I’ve been with him day and night for several years, and I know him best. He can’t fall in love with someone easily.”
Melissa's love was expressed very directly.
Xu Wan had never been abroad before, nor had she ever really come into contact with foreigners.
I know that foreigners may not express their emotions as reservedly as Asians.
Even so, Xu Wan couldn't feel much love from Melissa.
She even had a bold and terrifying idea.
There may be someone else behind Melissa, ordering her to do this.
Melissa held Xu Wan's hand and continued to ask, "Tell me, how did you make him suddenly fall in love with you? Otherwise, it would have been easy for me to find your family."
Xu Wan's weakness is not Jiang Tingzhou, but Xiao Xiao and her mother.
Jiang Tingzhou doesn't need her protection, but Xiaoxiao and her mother do.
After a few seconds of silence, Xu Wan suddenly laughed indifferently, "What else could it be? I slept with him."
