Chapter 576: Sarcasm
A woman wearing a champagne-colored dress and delicate makeup walked in step by step on pointed high heels.
The sound of high heels hitting the ground was crisp and harsh, and each hit seemed to be stepping on Sun Zhou's tense nerves.
The person who came was Zhao Xiyue.
She was holding an expensive-looking imported fruit basket, with a playful smile on her face, but her eyes were ice-cold without a trace of warmth.
“Tsk tsk.”
Zhao Xiyue walked around the bed, her eyes sweeping over his plastered leg without hesitation, and she let out an exaggerated sigh.
"Isn't this our hero?"
"Why are you in such a mess?"
Her voice was sweet and greasy, but the words she spoke were like honey soaked in poison.
Sun Zhou's face darkened instantly. His self-esteem, which had just been crushed by Ji Wan, was now severely stepped on by Zhao Xiyue.
He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"What are you doing here?"
"Of course I came to visit you."
Zhao Xiyue slammed the fruit basket on the bedside table with a thud, and the sound made Sun Zhou's heart tremble.
She crossed her arms and looked down at him, the corners of her mouth curled up in mockery.
"I heard that you put yourself in this terrible state in order to save my precious daughter. As her mother, can I not express my gratitude?"
She deliberately emphasized the words "my precious daughter" and "mother".
Sun Zhou's face turned ashen and his chest heaved violently.
"No need for you to be so hypocritical!"
"Oh, that's not the way to say it." Zhao Xiyue stretched out a slender nail-painted finger and shook it. "I'm not being kind, I'm really here... to see you make a fool of yourself."
"You!" Sun Zhou was so angry that he wanted to sit up, but it pulled the wound. The pain made him gasp and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Xiyue smiled even more happily.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unbalanced after being bribed by Ji Wan?"
She moved closer, lowering her voice with a snake-like chill.
"I've told you before, Ji Wan's heart is made of stone, it can't be warmed."
"Do you really think that if you play a trick on her, she'll rekindle her old feelings for you and throw herself into your arms with tears of gratitude?"
"Sun Zhou, have you watched too many idol dramas?"
"Why don't you look in the mirror? How can you compare with Chi Wenyan in your current state?"
Every word he said hit Sun Zhou's most painful spot precisely.
His eyes were frighteningly red as he stared at Zhao Xiyue with a look as if he wanted to eat her alive.
"Zhao Xiyue! Get out of here!"
"Go away?" Zhao Xiyue not only didn't go away, but her smile became even brighter. "Don't be impatient, I haven't finished what I said yet."
She straightened up, slowly adjusted the hem of her skirt, and her tone returned to that sarcastic tone.
"But don't be too sad. Even though your move was a bit clumsy, it wasn't completely useless."
"At the very least, you've successfully left an indelible thorn between Ji Wan and Chi Wenyan."
"She owes you a life-saving favor. This is your biggest bargaining chip."
Zhao Xiyue's eyes flashed with calculation.
"You can just rest assured and stay here. Anyway, the medical expenses and nursing fees will be paid by our wealthy Miss Ji. How comfortable is that?"
"Leave the rest to me."
After she finished speaking, she gave Sun Zhou a look that said "take care of yourself" and turned to leave.
Just at this moment.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
There was a knock on the ward door.
A middle-aged man wearing professional nursing uniform and looking very capable pushed the door open and asked respectfully.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Sun Zhou?"
"I'm the caregiver sent by Butler Wang. Miss Ji asked me to come and take care of you 24 hours a day."
The male nurse's voice was clear and professional.
This sentence, like the final loud slap, slapped Sun Zhou hard in the face.
Zhao Xiyue stopped, looked back at Sun Zhou, who looked as pale as death, and then looked at the professional caregiver who had already started preparing for work. The smile on the corner of her mouth was full of contempt of a winner.
She said nothing, and walked away in her high heels.
In the ward, only Sun Zhou and the strange nurse were left.
Sun Zhou stared at the busy figure of the nurse, his fists clenched under the quilt, his knuckles turning white from excessive force.
The face that had just been crushed by Ji Wan and stepped on by Zhao Xiyue was now only endlessly twisted and hideous.
"Mr. Sun, your medicine."
The male nurse's voice was calm as he handed the pills and the cup of water to Sun Zhou's mouth. His movements were as standard as in a textbook.
Sun Zhou didn't move.
He stared at the ceiling intently, his bloodshot eyes reflecting the pale light and endless humiliation.
Ji Wan...
Chi Wenyan...
These two names, like two poisoned knives, stirred back and forth in his heart.
He almost lost his life in order to save his daughter!
But what did he get?
A cold transfer, a professional caregiver.
She told him in the most direct and humiliating way: Sun Zhou, all that's left between us is a transaction.
I buy your life with money.
We are cleared now.
Zhao Xiyue's flamboyant smile and her sarcastic words replayed in his mind over and over again.
"Why don't you look in the mirror? How can you compare with Chi Wenyan in your current state?"
What to compare?
Sun Zhou's chest heaved violently, pulling at the wound. A sharp pain came over him, and cold sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead.
What does he compare it with?
He's risking his life!
"Mr. Sun, it's time to take your medicine."
The nurse's voice sounded again, still in that professional tone without any emotion.
This voice became the last straw that broke Sun Zhou's sanity.
"roll!"
Sun Zhou turned his head abruptly, glaring at the nurse with bloodshot eyes, "I told you to get out! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
The nurse remained calm and stated the facts calmly: "Miss Ji asked me to take care of you 24 hours a day. This is my job."
Miss Ji...
It’s Miss Ji again!
Sun Zhou was so angry that he was shaking all over. He felt like a joke locked in a cage, being watched and mocked by everyone.
He suddenly raised his hand and waved away the cup of water and pills in the nurse's hand.
“Bang!”
The water cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Pills were tumbling everywhere.
The caregiver just glanced at the mess on the ground silently, then turned around, took the broom and dustpan, and started cleaning without saying a word.
That extreme calmness and professionalism further magnified Sun Zhou's embarrassment and loss of control.
Sun Zhou was breathing heavily, and the evil fire in his chest was burning more and more vigorously.
He suddenly thought of another thing.
Donate bone marrow to Nian Nian.
