Jin Rulan gave a bitter smile, a smile that sounded like crying.
Xu Tingchuan felt bad after hearing this. He clenched his fist and said in a low voice, "I misunderstood you."
"Go out." Jin Rulan turned her face to the side, her back to him, and said in a bitter voice.
"If it's a misunderstanding, then explain it clearly!" Xu Tingchuan didn't want what she heard from her grandfather to be true, but everything she did seemed to confirm those claims.
"I'm really tired." Jin Rulan didn't even know how to explain it all. She didn't want to ruin the image of her grandfather that Xu Tingchuan respected so much. Anyway, her life was already like this, so what difference did it make if she was abandoned by everyone?
"Are you tired, or is it something you simply can't explain? With your cautious nature, how could you be so careless as to administer the wrong medicine?" Xu Tingchuan couldn't help but raise his voice to question him.
"Enough!" Xu Haicheng pushed the door open and said to Xu Tingchuan with a stern face, "Get out and don't disturb your mother's rest."
Xu Tingchuan realized he had been a bit agitated, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and turned to leave.
Xu Haicheng looked at Jin Rulan's profile and sighed softly, "Why do you carry so much on your shoulders, fulfilling everyone else's image, but what about yourself?"
Jin Rulan remained silent, tears streaming down her face.
"Aru, stop protecting others." Xu Haicheng sat down by her bedside and held her cold hand.
Jin Rulan stopped crying, withdrew her hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "You know what I care about. Let some things remain a secret for a lifetime."
Xu Haicheng watched as she became indifferent again when facing him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
After spending some time with his family in the ward, Xu Haicheng received a phone call that forced him to leave temporarily.
Xu Tingchuan had already returned to the company to handle matters, leaving only the maid and the hired caregiver by Jin Rulan's bedside.
After a busy day, Xu Tingchuan still came to the hospital at nine o'clock in the evening.
Although he had some arguments with Jin Rulan during the day, he was more curious to know if she was hiding something.
Xu Haicheng also came over in the evening. After watching over Jin Rulan until she fell asleep, he left the ward and happened to run into Xu Tingchuan, who had just arrived.
"Is Mom asleep?" Xu Tingchuan asked in a low voice.
Xu Haicheng nodded, looking up at his son who was already taller than him. Under the lamplight, Xu Tingchuan's aloofness in his eyes was becoming more and more like Jin Rulan's.
"Tingchuan, let's talk." Xu Haicheng said, then walked towards the elevator.
Xu Tingchuan followed, and the father and son walked to the small garden downstairs in the inpatient department. They bought two cans of coffee from the vending machine and then walked to the bench under the streetlight.
After sitting down, Xu Haicheng pulled open the tab and handed it to Xu Tingchuan.
Xu Tingchuan took it, sipped it, and looked at Xu Haicheng, wondering what he wanted to talk about.
Xu Haicheng took a sip of iced coffee, almost chugging down half the can, then gripped the can tightly and said, "You misunderstood your mother. She really didn't do it on purpose, not even unintentionally. It was Lin Youqi who deliberately put the wrong label on the medicine beforehand, which is why your mother made this mistake."
Xu Tingchuan was stunned. The drug label had been changed beforehand?! Was the explosion due to experimental error a deliberate act?!
Isn't Lin Youqi Jia Yue's mother? Why would she do this, and even blow herself up in the process?
