Shen Lin stared intently at her. Ye Xinning realized that what she had just said was a bit too much. Just as she was about to change her words, she heard Shen Lin's cold voice.
"Does that mean if I survive, I won't get a divorce?"
Before Ye Xinning could understand Shen Lin's meaning, she saw Shen Lin pull out a knife.
Ye Xinning stared at the man in front of her in shock. "Chen Lin, what are you doing with that knife? Put it down."
"Did you just say that I won't get a divorce if I survive?"
Ye Xinning stared at the knife in Chen Lin's hand, feeling that the man was definitely trying to blackmail her by making such a move.
After all, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.
Even if she turned around at this moment, Shen Lin probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
With that in mind, Ye Xinning forced herself to harden her heart.
But in the very second she turned around, Shen Lin plunged the knife in his hand deep into his own body.
With Wen Zhu's exclamation, "President Shen!" Ye Xinning turned around and saw Shen Lin's body gradually collapsing.
Ye Xinning's pupils dilated, her eyes filled with nothing but disbelief.
She quickly knelt down beside Shen Lin. Blood kept gushing from Shen Lin's abdomen. Ye Xinning looked at him. The man had not completely lost consciousness. At this moment, he looked at her with a stubborn and obsessive gaze.
"You said you wouldn't get a divorce as long as I survive."
Ye Xinning's hands were trembling as she tried to cover Shen Lin's bleeding wound, but to no avail.
"You're absolutely insane."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, she said to Wenzhu beside her in a trembling voice, "Wenzhu, take him to the hospital, quickly."
...
Hospital.
Ye Xinning waited at the door. Shen Nanxing was the one who performed the surgery on Shen Lin. She didn't have to wait long before Xi Yuan, Shen Yu, Shen Ting, and Chi Zhao arrived.
After learning about what happened tonight, they just looked at Ye Xinning without saying a word.
Ye Xinning sat in the chair, feeling weak all over and still trembling slightly. Just thinking about how Shen Lin was covered in blood, yet still held her hand and said, "I won't divorce you."
Her hand rested on her abdomen, her eyes stinging with pain. She stared blankly in the direction of the operating room, her heart feeling as if something was pressing down on it, making it hard to breathe.
Ye Xinning couldn't remember how long the surgery lasted; she sat in the chair, maintaining the same posture from beginning to end.
When the operating room door opened, Shen Nanxing, wearing a mask and with obvious exhaustion in her eyes, walked towards them.
"How is Shen Lin?" Shen Yu asked anxiously as soon as he saw Shen Nanxing come out.
Ye Xinning could notice that in this short period of time, Shen Yu had aged a lot and had grown a lot of white hair.
Come to think of it, Shen Yu was quite happy to meet Xi Yuan in middle age, but recently, first there was Old Madam Shen, and now Shen Lin is in trouble. Shen Yu must be feeling terrible.
"We're out of danger."
Shen Nanxing took off his mask, looked at the worried crowd, and spoke slowly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Shen Nanxing say that they were out of danger.
Where are they?
"The other doctors are still doing the final treatment. After that, she will be transferred to a regular ward. However, even though she is out of danger, she still needs to rest well."
"Yes, of course. I'll give him a good talking to this time. Look at what he's done; it's just ridiculous."
Shen Nanxing glanced at Ye Xinning subconsciously. Seeing that Ye Xinning was just looking down and not saying anything, Shen Nanxing shook her head. "My older brother should have been moved to a ward. You should go and see him."
"Okay, okay, let's go take a look first."
Everyone else went, but Ye Xinning stood still without moving.
Shen Nanxing looked at Ye Xinning, smiled, and suggested, "If sister-in-law isn't going to see brother, shall we go for a walk?"
Ye Xinning did not refuse.
She was taking a walk with Shen Nanxing outside the hospital. "Why doesn't my sister-in-law go and see my brother?"
Ye Xinning looked down at the ground, her tone calm, "You said we're out of danger, so there's no danger anymore."
Shen Nanxing asked doubtfully, "Aren't you worried?"
"So many people are worried about him, one more won't make a difference." These words sounded somewhat indifferent at this time.
Shen Nanxing's gaze fell into the distance. "My eldest brother is really willing to risk his own life to prevent my sister-in-law from getting a divorce."
"But all I want is a divorce, all I want is freedom."
"Does this mean you no longer love me?"
Ye Xinning raised her head and looked into the distance. "If maintaining a marriage or a relationship only required checking if there was love, then it would be simple. I don't think Shen Lin and I would have ended up like this."
Shen Nanxing lowered her eyes and smiled gently, "I originally wanted to persuade my sister-in-law, but after hearing what she said, I feel that it would be superfluous to say anything."
"So there's no need to say anything. Neither of us will try to persuade the other. I won't advise you to think more about Chi Zhao, and you don't need to advise me to continue living with Shen Lin."
Mentioning Chi Zhao, Shen Nanxing sighed, "Actually, I used to think that I couldn't live without Chi Zhao. But then I thought, love that isn't something you're sure you'll choose isn't worth risking your life for. So I won't try to persuade you about your relationship with your older brother. Just think it through."
Ye Xinning was very grateful for Shen Nanxing's thoughtfulness at this time. She spoke lightly and said with a hint of amusement, "I thought that after what happened tonight, people would only blame me."
"There's nothing to blame him for; it was all my brother's own choice," Shen Nanxing comforted Ye Xinning.
The two looked at each other, and Ye Xinning realized that she used to think Shen Nanxing was carefree and easygoing, but the real Shen Nanxing was actually very thoughtful. At least in some situations, Shen Nanxing could quickly sense that there was something wrong with her emotions and comfort her in time.
"Thank you, Nanxing."
"Why are you thanking me?" Shen Nanxing shook Ye Xinning's hand.
The two chatted for a while longer when Shen Nanxing received a phone call. It seemed that a patient had encountered some trouble and needed her to go and check on them.
After Shen Nanxing left, Ye Xinning walked alone and unknowingly arrived at the door of Shen Lin's ward.
When Ye Xinning realized that she was standing at the door of Chen Lin's ward, her first thought was to turn around and leave.
But even though I was thinking that, I just couldn't bring myself to take a step.
Just as Ye Xinning was struggling with whether or not to go in, the ward door was opened from the inside.
Shen Yu came out from inside.
Seeing Ye Xinning arrive, Shen Yu wasn't too surprised.
"He's here. Shall we go in and see him?"
Ye Xinning thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"No, thank you."
Shen Yu seemed to have expected her to say that. He nodded and said, "Since we're not going in, let's go sit over there."
