Xia Xi leaned against the wall in the corridor, with the back of her head against the wall, and raised her head high, trying to hold back her tears.
But it was no use, tears rolled out from the corners of my eyes and slid down my cheeks.
She wiped it off with her hands, but it wouldn't come clean.
The words Xu Yanfeng said weighed heavily on her heart, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
It turned out that this was what he thought. He had never forgotten her and always loved her. Even if she made a mistake in his eyes and betrayed him, he could give up his principles and bottom line for her.
How could there be someone as stupid as him in the world? How could there be someone as good as him?
Xia Xi couldn't stand, and her back slowly slid down the wall. She squatted on the ground with her face covered, crying silently.
A nurse passing by with a cart stopped when she saw this. She walked over to Xia Xi, bent down, patted her shoulder, and said with concern, "Madam, are you feeling unwell? Do you need any help?"
Xia Xi raised her face, her eyes red, and shook her head: "Thank you, I'm fine."
The nurse understood that she might be a family member of the patient. This kind of scene can be seen almost every day in the hospital: a family member is sick, and the family members are powerless to help, and they have to take into account the patient's emotions, so they can only hide and cry secretly.
After the nurse left, Xia Xi stood up with the help of the plastic chair next to her and walked towards the public restroom at the end of the corridor.
Inside the ward, Xu Yanfeng looked toward the door. Xia Xi, perhaps momentarily unable to control her emotions and not wanting to be seen by him, deliberately made an excuse to leave. If she really wanted to use the restroom, there was one in the ward. Why go outside?

Xia Xi stood in front of the sink, washing her hands and calming herself down.
Suddenly, she didn't know how to face Xu Yanfeng. After he said those words, she could no longer hurt him with words, nor could she give him the cold shoulder. She clearly felt that the guilt in her heart was even deeper.
There was no mirror in the washing area. Xia Xi knew that her face must look very ugly after crying, so she simply stood there, waiting for the redness in her eyes to fade before returning to the ward.
By the way, sort out your messy thoughts.
When she heard on the phone today that Xu Yanfeng had been in a car accident, she was terrified. She didn't know how seriously injured he was. She kept imagining all kinds of bad situations along the way. Her palms were sweating all the time and her heart felt like it was being constantly squeezed.
When my grandmother passed away, she deeply understood the meaning of the saying, "You never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident." Some things cannot wait. Waiting may end up in vain and become a lifelong regret.
She asked herself, is Xu Yanfeng still in her heart?
She knew the answer very well, and like him, she had never forgotten it.
He was always in her heart.
In the past, no matter who asked her if she still missed Xu Yanfeng, she refused to give a direct answer, always using some ambiguous and specious answers to gloss over the issue.
But she couldn't deceive herself.
During the busiest years abroad, her heart ached every time she thought of Xu Yanfeng. At that time, she foolishly thought that one day she would be able to completely forget him.
Even if it's three or five years.
But three years passed, five years passed, and she still couldn't calm down when she thought of him.
Xu Yanfeng asked if she had put some kind of poison on him, but she was also poisoned by his poison.
Perhaps it was because of the "brand" he left on her, which was so deep in her bones that she couldn't get rid of it.
Xia Xi suddenly thought of the suicide note written by her grandmother. In that suicide note, her grandmother left a message to everyone in the family. One of the words she left for her was to do what you want to do, not what you should do. Sometimes, the turning point of things is just a matter of thought.
At this time, two nurses passed by Xia Xi, and their whispers were particularly clear in the quiet environment.
"What's the situation with the patient in 1502? They say he was sent here after a car accident, but none of the medicines are working. I heard the director took over."
"Hush, the people in that ward are very important."
"You know?"
"Of course. Did you know that our director is Mr. Tang's cousin from Lingtian Capital? When Mr. Tang came to look for the director, I happened to be passing by his office and overheard a few words."
"Tell me about it soon, I'm so curious."
Xia Xi's thoughts were interrupted. Wasn't Ward 1502 the same one Xu Yanfeng was staying in? The nurse said he was sent there after a car accident, and the information matched. She even mentioned Tang Yizhou... Was there any problem?
Xia Xi did not look back at the two nurses, for fear of attracting attention. She just slightly tilted her body, holding her breath and eavesdropping on their conversation.
The nurse, who knew the inside story, smiled mysteriously and whispered, "The person inside is Xu's CEO. There's nothing wrong with him."
Another nurse looked bewildered: "So awesome? He's in a car accident and still not in any condition."
"What? He wasn't in a car accident at all."
"So he's in the hospital?"
"I don't know the reason. Mr. Tang told the director to open a ward and just wrap two rounds of gauze around the head. Don't worry about anything else."
"Uh, I really don't understand the way these rich people think. Maybe they're under too much pressure and their mental state is not normal..."
"Anyway, there are always vacancies in our hospital's VIP wards. Just think of it as generating revenue for the hospital."
After listening to the conversation between the two nurses, Xia Xi became extremely calm.
There are no thoughts left in my mind.
Xia Xi turned on the faucet, washed her hands again, and walked towards the ward.
Every step she took was fierce and aggressive, not like she was going to take care of a patient, but rather to seek revenge. If she had a weapon in her hand, it would have been even more like it.
Xu Yanfeng was still waiting patiently for Xia Xi in the ward, wondering how she would respond to him.
After a long while, just when he was worried that something might happen, Xia Xi finally appeared at the door of the ward. He looked deeply into her face... and her reaction was surprisingly different from what he had imagined.
