"Goodbye, Auntie," Li Younan said to Jiang Hua politely.
Since she came directly from the hospital, Jiang Hua wanted to go home to pack her things and prepare for a hike together.
Unexpectedly, just as the three of them arrived home, Aunt Zhang from the hospital called: "Hu Haoran's condition has deteriorated and he urgently needs surgery, but Ye Qingqing insists on going to the operating room with him."
Upon hearing this news, Gu Yiming and Jiang Hua disregarded their sightseeing plans, left Jiang Kefan at home, and drove straight back to the hospital.
When Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming arrived, Hu Haoran had already entered the operating room, while Ye Qingqing was left outside the operating room with Aunt Zhang, waiting for the surgery to end.
Upon seeing Jiang Hua, Ye Qingqing immediately embraced her, weeping silently. Her trembling body spoke volumes about her terror; she was afraid she would never see Hu Haoran again. Even a person in a vegetative state could have a chance to wake up, however slim, but what if he were gone...?
Jiang Hua remained silent, holding Ye Qingqing and offering her silent strength.
Waiting is the most agonizing time, and time slowly passes: "Click!" The operating room door opened, and Ye Qingqing was startled. The others immediately stepped forward and looked at the doctor: "The surgery was very successful. The patient is out of danger, and the family doesn't need to worry."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingqing could no longer hold on and fainted, but a serene smile remained on her face.
After another round of commotion, Jiang Hua looked at Hu Haoran and Ye Qingqing lying in the ward and silently prayed for them, hoping that the two could get through this ordeal and be happy together.
Meanwhile, Xu Mo, who overheard the nurse's gossip the next day and learned that Ye Qingqing had fainted, rushed over again. He couldn't care about anything else; he just wanted to see Ye Qingqing, even if it meant seeing the person he least wanted to see...
When Xu Mo arrived at the ward, Ye Qingqing was already awake and was being forced to eat by Jiang Hua. The harmonious atmosphere between the two of them turned heavy as they watched Xu Mo enter.
"Ye Qingqing, I've come to see you... and Haoran. Haoran is out of danger now. I heard you fainted. Are you alright?" Xu Mo said softly.
"You're just crocodile tears. Get out of here. I don't want to see you," Ye Qingqing said, her tone no longer flat as before, but she kept her head down and didn't even glance at Xu Mo.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me..." Xu Mo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ye Qingqing's sudden look.
"Xu Mo, could you come a little closer?" Ye Qingqing suddenly blurted out, and sat up.
Xu Mo didn't think about anything else and went straight over in his wheelchair, only to be stunned for a moment by Ye Qingqing's two slaps. Jiang Hua, who was standing to the side, was also startled.
"This is my attitude, understand?" Ye Qingqing waved her hand and said bluntly.
"Okay, I understand. I won't bother you again. I'm really... sorry," Xu Mo said without complaint, only wanting to make Ye Qingqing more comfortable. Then he slowly wheeled himself out of the ward. Just as he left the room, he glanced back at Ye Qingqing, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance.
After leaving, Xu Mo returned to his ward, changed his clothes, and left the hospital without telling anyone. It was only when a nurse on routine rounds came to change Xu Mo's dressing that she discovered it.
When Gu Yiming found out, he still felt reluctant to let go of what Jiang Hua had told him. After all, they had been brothers for so many years. First, he learned from the hospital's surveillance footage that Xu Mo had been discharged. Then, he immediately called and sent people to search for him everywhere, but they still couldn't find him.
When the group discussed this matter, Ye Qingqing showed no reaction, her eyes fixed on Hu Haoran, completely ignoring everyone else. The nurse caring for Xu Mo couldn't hold back any longer and said to Ye Qingqing, "You woman, how can you be so heartless? Ever since Mr. Xu woke up, he's come to see you every night, but he doesn't dare enter the ward. He just stands outside, peeking through the crack in the door, watching for one or two hours at a time. Was that the slap Mr. Xu received? You're so cruel!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yiming and the others felt a complex mix of emotions. They hadn't expected Xu Mo to have such deep feelings for Ye Qingqing, but Ye Qingqing acted as if she hadn't heard anything and continued to look at Hu Haoran.
The nurse, unwilling to give up, continued, "I'm talking to you, Ye Qingqing, you heartless woman, do you hear me!" Her sharp voice was extremely jarring in the ward.
"Ha! It was his own choice, I didn't force him. Besides, I have someone I love, and he's the one who caused me to be lying in bed unconscious. He deserves what he got, what does it have to do with me? And what does all this have to do with you? Could it be that you, this affectionate little nurse, have fallen for your fickle Mr. Xu?" Ye Qingqing was fed up with the nurse and retorted sarcastically.
Instantly, the nurse's face turned bright red. She glared at Ye Qingqing hatefully and then ran out.
Ye Qingqing snorted at the situation, then turned her attention to Hu Haoran, ignoring everyone's reactions.
Since Ye Qingqing fainted and woke up after Hu Haoran's surgery, she has changed a bit. She no longer stays up all night and doesn't eat or drink like before. Instead, she rests appropriately and eats normally, which makes Jiang Hua very happy.
That evening, after Ye Qingqing went to sleep, Jiang Hua prepared to go home. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she realized that she had left her car keys in Ye Qingqing's hospital room, so she had to go back to get them.
Upon entering the ward, she discovered that the nurse who had been harshly mocked by Ye Qingqing earlier that day was there. The nurse was startled, not expecting Jiang Hua to return, and paused in her actions.
"What do you want to do!" Jiang Hua said sharply.
"I...I didn't mean to do anything. I was just covering Miss Ye with a blanket, a routine check-up," he said, becoming more and more confident, and the guilt on his face disappeared.
"Really? Call your head nurse over. I want to ask you if you're actually going to make your rounds. Also, take out what you're holding," Jiang Hua was furious. When she came in, her movements looked like she was injecting Ye Qingqing with some kind of drug.
When Aunt Zhang rushed back from the toilet, she looked at the scene before her and found it a bit strange, but when she saw that Jiang Hua's face was gloomy, she knew that something bad had happened.
"Aunt Zhang, go and call the hospital leaders to see how to handle this matter," Jiang Hua said to Aunt Zhang, who had just entered the room.
Soon, hospital staff arrived. After examination, they found that the nurse had sleeping pills in her hand. It turned out that the nurse intended to inject Ye Qingqing with sleeping pills and then slap her hard several times to let her experience the effects.
Jiang Hua walked over, raised her hand and slapped her several times, letting her experience the taste of a slap.
