In the photo, Song Yunzheng, wearing an immaculate white coat, stands ramrod straight beside the hospital bed, where Meng Wanning lies. From this particular angle, while Song Yunzheng's expression isn't clearly visible, Meng Wanning's smiling face and loving gaze at him are unmistakable.
Immediately afterwards, another text message came in from the unknown number: "Your husband spent the first half of the night with you, and then rushed to the hospital to be with his ex-girlfriend the second half. He really is a master of time management."
Lin Yue's heart tightened, and she angrily threw her phone away. No wonder he hadn't been seen since early this morning; he had gone to take care of his ex-girlfriend! Was all that cold and distant attitude yesterday just an act for me?!
But then I thought, he's a doctor, he must have had an emergency to go to the hospital in the middle of the night. In front of doctors, there is no distinction between gender and status, only saving lives and healing the wounded, that is their duty.
"I should trust him. I can't misunderstand him because of a stranger's words. I should call him and ask him clearly." Thinking of this, Lin Yue hurriedly crawled over, grabbed her phone, found Song Yunzheng's number, and dialed it.
This time the other end connected very quickly.
"Hey, honey, are you at the hospital?" she asked anxiously.
"Lin Yue, Zheng is busy right now. Why don't you call him back later?"
Lin Yue glanced at her phone in surprise, making sure she hadn't dialed the wrong number. Her mind went completely blank. "You... how could you..." Was there even a question? He must have gone to take care of her! Otherwise, why would she have his phone?
“Ah Zheng took care of me for half the night, and now he’s busy with other things. He left his phone with me. I’ll have him call you back later.”
Lin Yue felt a ringing in her ears. She shook her head mechanically like a puppet. "No, no need. Don't tell him I called, Teacher Meng."
After hanging up the phone in a daze, Lin Yue clutched her chest, trying to ease the pain in her heart. She rubbed her sore eyes, determined not to let the tears fall. "What's the big deal!" she said, then abruptly threw off the covers, quickly tidied herself up, and went to work.
——
In the marketing department, Lin Yue sat at her desk, staring angrily at her phone screen, muttering to herself, "That damn Song Yunzheng! So much time has passed and he hasn't even called me once! Doesn't he care about my feelings at all? Humph, I was even thinking of giving him a chance to explain! Now it seems he doesn't need to!"
Mai Dong suddenly moved closer to Lin Yue, "Yueyue, what's wrong with you? You've been like a pufferfish all day, all puffed up. Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"
Lin Yue forced a smile and shook her head, "No, what could possibly be wrong with me?"
Seeing that she looked worried and didn't want to talk, Mai Dong had no choice but to give up.
After get off work, Song Yunxi walked into the marketing department as usual. "Little sister-in-law, let's go, I'll take you home."
"No need, Yunxi, I want to go back by myself. It's very convenient to take the subway." Lin Yue's eyes darted around, afraid that Song Yunxi would notice her unhappiness, and even more afraid that she would let slip the news that Xu Muyao was still alive.
"What's wrong?" Song Yunxi walked over with concern, and was about to sit down next to her when Lin Yue suddenly stood up. "Yunxi, I have an appointment with a friend, I'm in a hurry, I have to go." After saying this, she ran into the elevator as if she were escaping and quickly pressed the button for the first floor.
"What's going on? This is weird! No, no, this is definitely not right!" Song Yunxi quickly took out her phone, found Song Yunzheng's number, and dialed it, but no one answered. She dialed several more times, but still no one answered.
Song Yunxi stomped his feet in anger, "You'll mess things up at the crucial moment! Don't blame me if you lose your wife!!!"
Lin Yue wandered aimlessly down the street, accompanied only by the biting northwest wind and the warm yellow streetlights. Even the subway seemed much quieter than usual.
"Should I go straight home?" My heart felt heavy. "Or should I go to the hospital to find him? It's better to ask him directly than to stay at home and overthink things."
Without thinking about anything or caring about anything, she quickly hailed a taxi. "Driver, XH Hospital."
Upon arriving at the hospital, she hesitated at the entrance, wondering how to broach the subject. Should she directly confront him, or first ask why he hadn't called her all day, or even sent her a WeChat message?
Just as her thoughts were wandering, a person walked out of the main entrance of the hospital. Only when he got closer did she realize that it was Amy.
Lin Yue turned and left. She was already in a terrible mood and didn't want to make things worse!
"Lin Yue! Why are you running?" Amy quickly chased after her and grabbed Lin Yue's arm.
"Let go of me! Can't I just not talk to you?" Lin angrily shook off her hand.
Amy smiled nonchalantly. "Lin Yue, wasn't Song Yunzheng out early this morning?"
Lin Yue was taken aback. "Yeah." She wanted to say, "How did you know? But what's it to you!"
“Every night when something unexpected happens, he rushes over to take care of me…”
"So what? He's a doctor, what's wrong with him taking care of patients?" That's a very insightful statement! You might be able to fool others, but you can't fool yourself when you feel an unbearable pain in your heart.
"Want to go in and take a look? Your Dr. Song is taking care of Wanwan." Amy walked slowly to Lin Yue's side, a smirk playing on her lips. "It's good to see Song Yunzheng's true character sooner rather than later, lest you become hopelessly infatuated with him and then it's too late to wake up."
That photo, that text message, that phone call that Meng Wanning answered—everything reminded her and mocked her for being foolish.
