After arriving at the hospital, Ye Huanhuan underwent a full-body checkup. Tang Yi stayed by her side almost every step of the way, fearing that she would be taken away again.
Seeing Tang Yi's nervous expression, Ye Huanhuan felt a warmth in her heart and softly comforted him:
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Tang Yi held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with heartache and self-reproach:
"It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well and made you suffer."
After the doctor's examination, it was determined that all of Ye Huanhuan's injuries were superficial and that she would recover after a period of rest.
Upon hearing this news, Tang Yi finally felt relieved.
That evening, Wang Shuyao also came over. Seeing Ye Huanhuan's swollen and red face, her eyes instantly welled up with tears, which she couldn't stop flowing.
"Ye Huanhuan, I'm sorry... It's all my fault. I shouldn't have trusted those Zhao sisters. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have gone back with you!"
Before Ye Huanhuan could speak, Tang Yi coldly rebuked her:
"You really should reflect on your actions. If anything happens to Huanhuan this time, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"
Tang Yi's tone was cold and stern, and his eyes revealed a hint of anger.
He and Wang Shuyao grew up together and graduated from the same high school and university, so their relationship was extraordinary.
But after what happened today, Tang Yi couldn't control his emotions and started blaming his childhood sweetheart sister.
If this were any other day, if Tang Yi dared to speak to her in such a tone, Wang Shuyao would have already flew into a rage and started cursing him out.
But at this moment, she was like a child who had done something wrong, her face full of self-blame and guilt, letting Tang Yi scold her.
She sobbed, "I really regret it. How could I have been so stupid to believe them so easily? Ye Huanhuan, can you forgive me?"
Ye Huanhuan took Wang Shuyao's hand, shook her head, and comforted her:
“Wang Shuyao, this is not your fault at all, you don’t need to blame yourself.”
"How can you not blame me? If I hadn't insisted on going to find you and hadn't agreed to Zhao Xinran's request to take you to Siyinju, you wouldn't have encountered this situation."
Wang Shuyao was extremely upset. She finally understood why Ye Huanhuan and Cheng Yue had both been vying to take the blame when they were in the hospital room. It was because only in this way could they alleviate their guilt.
Ye Huanhuan smiled helplessly: "Alright, it's all in the past now, and I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
"But……"
Ye Huanhuan interrupted her, her face stern, and asked, "There's no 'but.' If you continue like this, then you don't consider me a friend, do you?"
"Of course I consider you a friend..."
Wang Shuyao felt somewhat insecure because she suddenly realized that she was a particularly incompetent friend.
Ye Huanhuan couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "Alright, stop being so fussy. You're not like the decisive and efficient Wang Shuyao at all."
Wang Shuyao instantly went from tears to laughter, and said coquettishly, "Ye Huanhuan, how could you make fun of me!"
After chatting for a while, Wang Shuyao left. As she was leaving, Tang Yi frowned, as if he wanted to say something to her, but he held back in the end.
He silently walked to the bedside, gently stroked Ye Huanhuan's hair, and said tenderly:
"Huanhuan, you should rest well first. We can talk about other things when you're better."
Upon hearing Tang Yi's words, Ye Huanhuan felt her eyelids drooping. She nodded and closed her eyes.
Tang Yi sat quietly by the bed, watching over her as she fell asleep.
That night, Ye Huanhuan slept very restlessly. For some reason, the words Qin Xiao had whispered in her ear as he fled kept replaying in her mind:
Miss Ye, we will meet again... Next time, you won't be able to escape my grasp!
Ye Huanhuan struggled in her dream, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Tang Yi noticed her unusual behavior and asked softly, "Huanhuan, what's wrong?"
Ye Huanhuan woke up with a start, and in her daze, she saw Qin Xiao's hateful face.
"I...I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."
Her face was as pale as paper, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with fear and unease.
She gripped Tang Yi's hand tightly, as if only in this way could she find a sense of security.
Tang Yi looked at her terrified eyes and felt a pang of heartache. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Ye Huanhuan couldn't help but feel afraid; Qin Xiao felt incredibly dangerous. So many bodyguards had chased him, yet he had managed to escape. Who knew if he would suddenly reappear?
If the other party actually appeared in front of her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She asked Tang Yi eagerly, "Tang Yi, you'll catch Qin Xiao, right?"
Tang Yi gently stroked Ye Huanhuan's hair and softly comforted her, "Huanhuan, don't worry, I will! I will definitely catch him!"
Hearing Tang Yi's promise, Ye Huanhuan calmed down a little, but deep down she was still full of worry.
"Tang Yi, you must not let him get away with this!"
Tang Yi nodded, then hugged Ye Huanhuan tightly, giving her strength and support with his warm embrace.
Feeling Tang Yi's warm embrace, Ye Huanhuan's mood gradually calmed down.
However, as she touched her belly, the shadow in her heart resurfaced.
She remembered what Qin Xiao had said before: "I also want to try what it's like to be a pregnant woman."
These words, like a curse from the devil, were deeply imprinted in Ye Huanhuan's mind, making it impossible for her to let go.
No, she couldn't just sit and wait to die. She had to think of a way to make herself capable of fighting back!
