Xiang Zhilan roughly conceived a plan in her mind, and slowly fell asleep.
Shen Muzhi stayed by her bedside until he saw that she was sleeping peacefully before getting up, tucking the blanket around her, and then quietly turning around and leaving, opening the door and going out.
Xiang Zhilan wasn't in a deep sleep when the sound of him opening the door woke her up again.
He seemed to be making a phone call outside. She listened intently, and it sounded like he was in a certain ward or something. He said a couple of sentences and then hung up.
Then a series of footsteps faded into the distance until she could no longer hear them.
She opened her eyes, her brows furrowing slightly. Was Su Yan in room 208 on the second floor? Was he going to see her?
Ha, this way he can do both without neglecting either. Is he planning to make her and Su Yan become like Ehuang and Nüying, sisters who share one husband?
When Xiang Zhilan thought about it, she felt extremely nauseous, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
She could disregard the fact that he still had a dead Su Yan in his heart, but she couldn't tolerate the fact that he still had a living Su Yan in his heart.
Even if she were the most magnanimous person, she couldn't do it, especially since she and Su Yan had such an awkward relationship.
Xiang Zhilan crossed her arms over her chest, shook off the goosebumps that were rising on her skin, and picked up her phone from the bedside table.
She can't manage alone; she needs to contact some friends.
Fortunately, she has many friends. Over the years, she has traveled around for work and has made a wide circle of acquaintances, so helping out with small favors is no problem for her.
The initial plan that I just started to organize is becoming clearer and more detailed in my mind.
After making the call and making sure I hadn't forgotten anything, I put the phone back and lay back down.
She thought Shen Muzhi might come back soon, and tried her best to fall asleep, but an hour passed and he still hadn't returned.
The more she thought about it, the more suffocated she felt, and she cursed Shen Muzhi repeatedly in her heart.
A little while later, just as she was wondering whether she should stop pretending to be asleep, the door was opened.
She closed her eyes tightly and pretended to be asleep.
Shen Muzhi walked in, sat on the chair in front of the bed, took her hand out from under the covers, and looked down with his head in pain, his brows tightly furrowed as he pressed his hand against hers.
After a moment, Zhi Lan felt that her hands were suddenly wet.
He...cried?
Xiang Zhilan was slightly taken aback. Was she so distressed to see her beloved so ill?
Actually, if she weren't in her current position, she would genuinely sympathize with them. Due to a series of unfortunate events back then, they are now facing a life-or-death separation. It's truly pitiful, a heart-wrenching and physically exhausting drama.
Unfortunately, no matter how pitiful they are now, she and her child are the most innocent. What does it matter to her if they are tortured to the point of death? She has been passively enduring everything from beginning to end.
She doesn't have the saintly mentality of blessing everyone. At most, she'll just turn a blind eye to it and forget about her blessing them. Whether Su Yan can survive is up to fate.
However, she did hope that she could live, so that Shen Muzhi wouldn't have to bother her anymore. He and Su Yan were a match made in heaven, and they could be together forever.
Although Xiang Zhilan's thoughts at this moment were somewhat driven by spite, she genuinely felt that this outcome was the best.
She only had a slight liking for Shen Muzhi, which she would naturally forget over time; it wasn't that important.
He cried so much that her hands were soaked with tears; it was truly pitiful.
But she didn't want to use her hand to wipe away his tears for his beloved, so she pretended to be restless in her sleep and twitched her hand.
