Xiang Yang immediately stopped crying. "Boss, why are you bringing him up out of the blue?"
“I remember I haven’t divorced him yet.”
"You're not divorced, but you were poisoned because of him. The bird's nest Zhan Yin gave you was poisoned."
Qiao Wanwan frowned. "Zhan Yin would never harm me."
“Zhan Yin didn’t mean it, but this is all because of the Zhan family. You were innocently implicated and almost died.” Xiang Yang turned to look at Lin Mo, his eyes flashing with resentment, but he still said, “Fortunately, Lin Mo was there and developed an antidote in time, which saved your life.”
"Lin Mo, thank you for saving me," Qiao Wanwan said softly.
Lin Mo smiled gently, "Wanwan, taking good care of your health is the best way to thank me. You are still very weak, so get some more sleep. I'll make you some nourishing soup so you can drink it when you wake up."
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.
Xiang Yang covered her with the blanket, glared at Lin Mo, and quickly went out to call Zhan Jingting, "The boss has woken up, don't worry."
In the study, Zhan Jingting breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that she's awake. Take good care of her."
"Lin Mo won't give me that chance; he wants me to go abroad in a couple of days!"
"Do as I say, I'll keep an eye on Lin Mo."
"But I'm worried. If I stay, I might be able to help you."
"You act recklessly, what if you accidentally let something slip? That's why Lin Mo won't allow you, this ticking time bomb, to stay by Wanwan's side."
Xiang Yang worriedly asked, "But if I leave, can you handle it all by yourself? The boss is clearly misunderstanding you now. Are you really going to get a divorce?"
"My medical team is secretly researching Lin Mo's poison. I will try my best to buy time and save our marriage."
Xiang Yang nodded. "Zhan Jingting, I want to thank you. Thank you for loving my boss so much. Over the years... she has actually suffered a lot and endured a lot of hardship. I think it's rare that you can stay by her side.
"She is my wife, and it is only right that I do anything for her. You don't need to thank me."
......
When Qiao Wanwan woke up again, it was already dark.
She didn't ring the bell to call for help; she just lay there quietly, staring blankly at the night outside the window.
Lin Mo walked in carrying a tray and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you call me when you woke up? I was in the kitchen."
Qiao Wanwan composed herself and looked away from him. "You don't need to do so much for me. Just leave it to Xiang Yang."
“Xiang Yang can’t cook, and he doesn’t know what you should eat.” Lin Mo placed the tray on the bedside table, picked up a small bowl and ladled out some soup. “This is chicken soup that I’ve been simmering for several hours. Have a bowl. There’s also porridge in the kitchen. I’ll get you some more after you finish the soup.”
"Thanks."
Qiao Wanwan drank most of a bowl of chicken soup and felt much more comfortable in her empty stomach. "Lin Mo, I'm full."
"Then wait a while before having porridge. You haven't eaten for several days, so your appetite will definitely be worse. Take it one step at a time."
"Okay." Qiao Wanwan looked at him. "I'm fine now. You can go home and rest. There are doctors and nurses here to take care of you. Also, I don't need to stay in such a nice ward. You can ask Xiang Yang to come and arrange for me to stay in a regular ward."
"Wanwan, listen to me first," Lin Mo said gently but earnestly. "You need to rest and recuperate. Staying here will be more suitable for you to recover. Besides, you don't have any relatives anymore. We can't ask Zaozao to come and take care of you, can we?"
"No way!" Qiao Wanwan said without hesitation. "Zaozao's health isn't good, she can't handle any stress. She absolutely can't know I'm in the hospital!"
"Then you have to listen to me. I have to stay here and take good care of you, even if it's just for Zaozao. So if you try to kick me out again, I'll have no choice but to tell her the truth."
Qiao Wanwan pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Wanwan, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to threaten or force you,” Lin Mo explained. “I know you’re resistant to me, but I’m just taking care of you as a friend. You don’t need to feel pressured.”
"Lin Mo, thank you."
"I'll take that as your consent," Lin Mo said happily. "I'll get you a bowl of porridge; you need to eat more to recover as quickly as possible."
"Um."
Lin Mo left after Qiao Wanwan finished her porridge and was about to go to sleep.
In the dim light, Qiao Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, her gaze clear, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The words Zhan Jingting said at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau kept echoing in her ears, piercing her heart again and again!
She couldn't help but wonder why she had woken up in the first place.
If I just fall asleep and never wake up, wouldn't that be incredibly painful?
Qiao Wanwan's heart was aching terribly, so much so that she could hardly breathe!
She clutched the blanket covering her, her hands trembling uncontrollably!
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down.
The door to the ward was suddenly opened, but her eyes were too heavy to open.
Two nurses came in, changing Qiao Wanwan's IV drip while speaking softly.
"She's so lucky. That Dr. Lin is a top-notch doctor that every hospital is vying for. I never expected him to have such a tender side, being so considerate to her."
"Yes, even the best experts couldn't cure the poison she was afflicted with. It was Dr. Lin who worked tirelessly to develop the antidote. I heard that Dr. Lin almost collapsed from exhaustion when he finally developed the antidote."
"She must have saved the galaxy in her past life to meet such a wonderful man as Dr. Lin. I'm so touched!"
"Alright, you're not destined for this. Go on, being stuck on those miserable shifts is our fate."
After the sound of the door opening and closing rang out, the ward fell silent again.
Qiao Wanwan forced open her heavy eyelids, her eyes filled with helplessness.
She had even messed up her relationship with Zhan Jingting, and really didn't want to have any more involvement with Lin Mo.
Even if she divorces Zhan Jingting, she will not have any contact with Lin Mo.
Qiao Wanwan wanted to call Lin Mo to explain things, but remembering what he had just said, she gave up.
As he said, one must indeed recover one's health before dealing with those matters.
......
The next morning, Xiang Yang arrived at the hospital with a thermos.
"Boss, how are you feeling?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Much better."
"Hmm, you look much better than yesterday. I brought you some delicious food, get up and eat some."
"Okay." Qiao Wanwan was indeed hungry and ate all the breakfast Xiang Yang had brought. "Delicious."
"I knew you liked it, so I went to queue up early this morning to buy it."
Qiao Wanwan wiped her mouth with a tissue and asked, "How is Zhan Yin?"
"How is it going?"
"Didn't you say my poisoning was caused by him? He hasn't come to see me, has something happened to him?"
Xiang Yang scratched his head. "I'm not quite sure."
Qiao Wanwan frowned. "Xiang Yang, do you know you have a bad habit? You start scratching your head whenever you lie."
Xiang Yang: "......"
Qiao Wanwan pressed, "Tell me the truth, what exactly happened to Zhan Yin!"
