Chapter 12: Comforted by Other Men
“It hurts so much…”
Lin Yiheng paused his movements and looked at his wrist being held in some surprise, but a reassuring smile appeared on his face.
"It's okay, you'll be fine soon. You're too weak and need a nutritional injection, otherwise you won't be able to recover."
The gentle voice soothed Xu Yangyang's nervous mood.
After hearing Lin Yiheng's words, she slowly let go of her hand and fell asleep again.
After the treatment, Xu Yangyang was sent to the ward.
When she opened her eyes again, she only saw a strange doctor standing in front of her bed, and no one else.
I don’t know why, but I always feel empty inside.
I already knew what kind of person Jiang Linan was, but at this time I still hoped that he could be here.
How is that possible?
Xu Yangyang chuckled self-deprecatingly, leaning against the edge of the bed and trying to get up, but accidentally touched the needle on the back of her hand.
Lin Yiheng, who was still recording the patient's physical condition, came back to his senses.
After seeing Xu Yangyang wake up, he quickly reached out and took the woman's arm.
"Don't move. If you recover blood, you'll need another injection. It will be painful."
Helped to lie down again, Xu Yangyang looked at the man in front of her and felt vaguely familiar.
She frowned slightly and looked carefully at the doctor in front of her, then spoke with sudden realization.
"Were you the one who spoke to me in the emergency room just now?"
Xu Yangyang could clearly hear the gentle voice, which made her anxious.
No one except my mother would talk to me like this, let alone a man.
When asked, Lin Yiheng's smile deepened a little, and he nodded in acknowledgment.
"I didn't expect you to remember me even in that situation. It's really an honor for me."
"Maybe it's because you were the only one comforting me just now."
As Xu Yangyang spoke, she glanced at her hand which was still receiving an IV drip, pursed her thin lips, and after hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but speak.
"After I came out of the emergency room, was I the only one in the ward?"
Lin Yiheng didn't know why she asked this, but he nodded and admitted it anyway.
"I saw that there was no one guarding your ward, so I came in to see if there was anything wrong. I didn't expect you to wake up."
"That's true. I'm still too naive. To him, I'm simply an insignificant existence. How could he possibly care about my feelings?"
Xu Yangyang murmured, the self-mockery in her eyes deepening.
"Although I don't know what's happened to you, as a doctor, I still have the right to tell you that your health is very poor. If you continue like this, you may lose your fertility and won't be able to have children anymore."
Lin Yiheng spoke in a soothing tone. He seemed to have noticed something, but did not say it directly, as if to protect Xu Yangyang's face.
"You take good care of yourself, not just for yourself, but also for your family. Even if you think about your mother, who gave you your body and hair, and you can't repay her, taking good care of yourself is a form of repayment."
The man's words gradually soothed Xu Yangyang's emotions, making her gradually calm down.
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry, no matter how difficult the days are, I will try my best to persevere, for my mother and for myself."
A smile appeared on her face again, and she looked brighter.
"If you need anything, you can always call me. I'm nearby, it's very convenient."
Seeing that what he said was useful, Lin Yiheng also placed the business card next to Xu Yangyang's pillow.
"Thank you."
Only after the man left did Xu Yangyang look at the business card.
"Lin Yiheng..."
During the time she was in the hospital, Xu Yangyang never saw Jiang Runan once.
In order not to worry her mother, she did not tell her about it.
On the contrary, Lin Yiheng often visited her, bought her fruits, brought her meals and some nutritious soups.
Xu Yangyang's mood gradually improved.
At the same time, she also made up her mind to leave Jiang Runan no matter what.
If this kind of relationship continues, it will only become a bottomless pit.
Even if I owed him something, I have already repaid it over the years.
It's time for an ending.
Xu Yangyang planned to find a job first, and then ask Jiang Linan to resign, so that she would have a way out.
When Lin Yiheng came to see her, he happened to see her posting a job application.
"Are you looking for a job?" The man put down the ginseng soup in his hand and asked in confusion.
"Yeah, I've been thinking about changing jobs lately, so I can change my mood."
Xu Yangyang spoke with a smile. She had gradually come to trust Lin Yiheng over this period of time, so she had nothing to hide.
The man nodded in sudden realization, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly smiled and said.
"Then you can come to my place. I happen to be in need of an assistant, and I'll pay you the highest salary I can. It won't be much, but it's definitely enough for a little girl like you."
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and Xu Yangyang looked at Lin Yiheng in surprise.
"Really? That's great!"
She was so excited that she subconsciously hugged the man in front of her.
If I find a new and stable job, I can completely draw a line between myself and Jiang Runan.
Just treat everything that happened before as a dream.
Lin Yiheng stared blankly at Xu Yangyang who was hugging him and celebrating excitedly.
After coming to his senses, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Xu Yangyang's condition was not very serious, so she was discharged from the hospital soon.
During this period, she never met Jiang Runan.
But it’s also good this way, as it has strengthened her determination to leave.
Walking out of the hospital, Xu Yangyang felt the warm sunshine outside, which invisibly gave her an extra layer of courage.
But Xu Yangyang didn't know that Jiang Linan had been dealing with a crisis in the company and hadn't slept for several days.
There was a knock on the office door.
Jiang Lunnan, who was still processing documents, pinched his brows and spoke with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
"Come in."
As the door was opened, a familiar figure appeared before his eyes.
Xu Yangyang pursed her lips, still feeling a little nervous. When she met the man's slightly surprised gaze, she was about to speak out the purpose of this trip, but was interrupted.
"alright?"
"Well, that's enough." The man's voice was a little cold, and no emotion could be heard. It was unclear whether he was mocking his poor health.
Xu Yangyang responded patiently, then took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts.
"I've made up my mind. I'm determined to resign, and I've already found a company. Mr. Jiang, could you please approve my resignation application?"
After saying all the words in one breath, Xu Yangyang reached out and placed the application form on Jiang Runan's desk.
She was about to turn around and leave when the man suddenly grabbed her wrist, and then she fell uncontrollably onto the sofa.
