Chapter 423 Leaving her alone in the hospital
Han Mingyu nodded slightly and said, "You know about my marriage to Qi Mingxuan?"
"I heard it from my elders." Ji Lin looked at him and said gently, "Now that you're married, live your life well."
Han Mingyu chuckled lightly and pushed open the door. "Come in."
Ji Lin responded and followed him into the master bedroom.
The warm-toned decor creates a cozy and loving atmosphere, perfect for newlyweds.
Ji Lin glanced at it indifferently, his gaze sweeping towards the large bed.
Qi Mingxuan was in a deep sleep.
Han Mingyu walked to the bedside, bent down and touched her forehead. "She's still very hot. I just gave her fever reducer, but it doesn't seem to be working."
"Let me see." Ji Lin walked over and placed the first-aid kit on the bedside table. "Have you taken your temperature?"
Han Mingyu shook his head, "No, it's already burned like this, what's the point of measuring it?"
"We're not sure what's causing the fever yet, let's take your temperature first."
Ji Lin first put on a mask, then put on sterile gloves, and after preparing, he took out a thermometer.
He glanced at the unconscious Qi Mingxuan and handed the thermometer to Han Mingyu: "Put the thermometer under her armpit."
Han Mingyu took the thermometer.
Ji Lin turned his back to the gentleman.
In fact, doctors don't see gender.
But with Han Mingyu here, Ji Lin felt it was best to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Han Mingyu placed the thermometer under Qi Mingxuan's armpit, and kept pressing down on her arm with one hand to prevent her from moving around.
Five-minute wait time.
Ji Lin asked, "When did she start feeling unwell?"
"Her assistant said she went to the construction site today and probably suffered from heatstroke."
Ji Lin frowned. "Going to the construction site in this heat?"
"You think it's outrageous too, right?" Han Mingyu scoffed. "She's always been so stubborn. Her health isn't good to begin with, and when I suggested she stay home as a full-time housewife, she wasn't willing."
Ji Lin frowned. "Qi Mingxuan isn't the kind of woman who would willingly be a full-time housewife. You shouldn't say things like that in the future."
Han Mingyu frowned and looked at Ji Lin, "What? You two are very familiar?"
Ji Lin pursed his lips and said after a moment, "I'm not very familiar with her, but Si Nian often mentions her. Si Nian said she's a very opinionated girl, and she's probably only single-minded about liking you."
"She likes me, that's because I'm good enough." Han Mingyu sized up Ji Lin. "But you, you're not getting any younger, aren't you going to find someone? Or are you also eyeing my wife?"
Ji Lin ignored the provocation in Han Mingyu's words.
"I just haven't met the right person yet." He glanced at the time and reminded him, "It's time."
Han Mingyu snorted coldly, took out a thermometer, and handed it to Ji Lin.
Ji Lin took it and looked at the temperature. "It's almost forty degrees."
"That high?" Han Mingyu's expression immediately turned serious. "It's been half an hour since I took the fever reducer, and it's still not working?"
"Ordinary heatstroke is not so bad, but heatstroke is the real concern."
"Heatstroke?" Han Mingyu's expression changed. "She just went to the construction site, it can't be that serious."
"Let's take him to the hospital," Ji Lin suggested.
Han Mingyu didn't dare to delay any longer.
The person was immediately sent to 'Huakang Hospital'.
After a hospital check-up, it turned out to be heatstroke.
Fortunately, the condition was discovered in time and the symptoms were relatively mild. After receiving appropriate treatment, Qi Mingxuan's body temperature gradually decreased. Although she was still unconscious, she was transferred to a VIP ward.
Such a serious matter as Qi Mingxuan's hospitalization could not be kept secret from the Han family elders.
The Han family patriarch, matriarch, and parents, along with Qi Yue who had just finished school, rushed to the hospital.
They first visited Qi Mingxuan in the ward.
Qi Mingxuan was still unconscious, and they were afraid of disturbing her rest, so they left the ward after a while.
Before leaving, the elders instructed Han Mingyu to take good care of Qi Mingxuan.
Han Mingyu readily agreed.
But after they drove the people away, Han Mingyu received a call from Lin Xiaoyue.
On the phone, Lin Xiaoyue said something that made Han Mingyu's expression change.
"Don't worry, I'm coming right now."
After hanging up the phone, Han Mingyu left immediately.
Of course, before leaving, he went to the nurses' station and told the nurses that he was going to take care of some urgent matters and asked Qi Mingxuan to keep an eye on things for him.
Not long after Han Mingyu left, Ji Lin came to check on the rooms.
Upon opening the ward door, Han Mingyu was not seen.
Qi Mingxuan lay quietly on the hospital bed, her pale face much thinner than it had been eight years ago.
Ji Lin stood by the bed for a moment, then turned and walked out of the ward.
He went to the nurses' station and learned that Han Mingyu had abandoned Qi Mingxuan and left.
Ji Lin frowned slightly, but in the end, he said nothing and turned back to the ward.
That night, Ji Lin didn't go home; he stayed in Qi Mingxuan's hospital room.
In the middle of the night, Qi Mingxuan talked in her sleep, sometimes saying she was thirsty, sometimes calling for her brother.
She didn't wake up; perhaps the events in her dream also saddened her, for tears were always in the corners of her eyes.
Ji Lin used a tissue to wipe away her tears;
Feed her water spoonful by spoonful;
As she cried out for her brother, he took her hand and, mimicking how her elder brother had comforted her in his memory, gently patted her head, saying, "Little Xuan, be good, your brother is here."
Qi Mingxuan gripped Ji Lin's hand tightly with both hands, "Brother, I'm so tired, please come back, please come back..."
Looking at the unconscious woman lying on the hospital bed, talking in her sleep, Ji Lin could no longer suppress the heartache in his eyes.
These children from wealthy families were actually mostly from the same school.
Ji Lin and Qi Sinian have known each other since childhood, and Qi Sinian is also familiar with Brother Qi. They often get together, so naturally, Ji Lin and Brother Qi are also quite familiar with each other.
Qi Mingxuan was two years younger than them, so she was considered their junior.
The little girl often went to see Brother Qi, and gradually got to know Qi Sinian. Later, through Qi Sinian, she also got to know Han Mingyu.
Han Mingyu had a bit of a prince-like demeanor back then, acting arrogantly and ostentatiously, so Brother Qi didn't really like him.
But Qi Mingxuan fell in love with Han Mingyu at first sight, and from then on, she followed him around like a little tail almost every day.
At the time, because of this incident, Brother Qi had considered transferring Qi Mingxuan to another school, but in the end, he gave in because Qi Mingxuan threw a tantrum.
The fact that Qi Mingxuan pursued Han Mingyu was common knowledge among the wealthy young men of her generation in the entertainment industry.
Ji Lin and Han Mingyu didn't get along very well, but they both had a good relationship with Qi Sinian. When they occasionally bumped into each other at gatherings, they would exchange a few polite words.
Later, Qi Sinian and Qi Mingxuan got together, which surprised everyone.
Not long after, Ji Lin went abroad to study.
That departure lasted for eight years.
Of course, Ji Lin did return when Qi Sinian passed away. At Qi Sinian's funeral that year, Qi Mingxuan was carrying a slightly protruding pregnant belly and looked haggard.
In that car accident, Qi Sinian died, and Brother Qi became a vegetable.
This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Qi Mingxuan.
Ji Lin also went to see her at the time, left her his contact information, and told Qi Mingxuan that she could contact him if she needed help.
But Qi Mingxuan has not contacted him in the past eight years.
Until the day before yesterday, when he returned to China, several young men he knew in the industry hosted a welcome banquet for him.
At the welcoming banquet, a young man mentioned Qi Mingxuan and Han Mingyu.
Eight years later, Qi Mingxuan married into the Han family with Qi Yue. The wealthy young men in the entertainment circle were talking and laughing in private, saying that the Han Mingyu and Qi Sinian brothers shared one woman.
Some people even compared photos of Qi Yue, Han Mingyu, and Qi Sinian.
It's not hard to see that Qi Yue looks like Han Mingyu.
Some speculated that Qi Mingxuan was wavering between Han Mingyu and Qi Sinian at the time...
Ji Lin felt that Qi Mingxuan was not that kind of person.
But Qi Yue does look like Han Mingyu.
Ji Lin then felt that there must be some hidden story behind this.
