Chang Danran startled, how did he know? But on second thought, with Xia Ye Zhaoâs power, it would be easy for him to investigate her.
Chang Danran felt a deep sadness. She averted her gaze and remained silent, unwilling to meet the manâs questioning eyes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhy wonât you say something?â Xia Ye Zhao glared at her.
Chang Danran managed a bitter smile, forcing herself to remain calm. She brushed her long hair back and retorted sarcastically, âAre you still hung up on me? Five years later and you havenât moved on? That doesnât sound like the Xia Ye Zhao I know.â
His mood faltered at her words. âChang Danran, donât be too full of yourself!â
So, has he forgotten her?
Despite feeling discouraged, Chang Danran tried to appear nonchalant and stood her ground, âSo, what nothing to do with you whether Iâm getting married or not.â
Xia Ye Zhao was so furious he almost choked her, âDid you break up with me to marry Bo Jingyu?â
âThatâs none of your business. Do you want to know about the patient on bed number 19? Didnât they bring several top specialists from the capital? You should ask them. They know more than I do!â
Chang Danran was now in a terrible mood. For five years, her son had been her priority. Yet she couldnât cure his illness.
She wanted to go to the changing room to change into her normal clothes, but as she took a step forward, Xia Ye Zhao grabbed her wrist, âI need you now.â
âIâve told you, as a doctor, regarding the condition of the patient in bed 19, I may not know as much as those top specialists.You should ask them instead of me. Iâm merely giving you the best advice I can,â she suggested.
Was she giving him advice, or just didnât want to converse with him?
Xia Ye Zhao didnât want to delve deeper, âI just want to get a box of VV painkillers.â
Chang Danran paused, âDoes Mr. Song need painkillers? His IV drip already contains painkillers.â
âItâs not for him, itâs for Starlight.â
âMiss Ye? Whatâs wrong with her?â
Xia Ye Zhaoâs tone was unconsciously gentle and indulgent, and there was worry, âShe is having her period, Iâm afraid she might feel uncomfortable. I want to have a box of medicine for her, give me a box of VV painkillers. This medicine isnât sold in pharmacies, itâs only available in hospitals.â
âSo, she isnât ill at all? If she isnât sick then Iâm not allowed to give her medication casually.â
Xia Ye Zhao was oblivious to her disappointment, âItâs better to be safe than sorry. What if she feels uncomfortable alone in a hotel at night and thereâs nowhere to buy medicine. If it was available in pharmacies, I wouldnât have come to you.â
Chang Danranâs mood turned somber. Did his words mean: If it werenât for her, he wouldnât have come to see youâ¦
It seems that her state of mind hasnât been well throughout the day. She was just wishful thinking and disgracing herself.
Chang Danran forced herself to hold it together, her response stiff, âFine.â
Right now, all she wanted to do was give him the medication and then leave.
That night, it rained incessantly and never stopped.
Chang Danran rushed home as soon as she could, to their three-bedroom apartment where she stays with her son, Bo Jingyu stays in one, and her mother in the other. However, Bo Jingyu seldom came home due to his research work.
As soon as Chang Danran stepped inside the apartment, she put her bag down and asked her mother, who just came out of the living room, âMom, did Xiaoman have another attack?â
Her mother, feeling sorry for her grandson, pointed to the closed door to the childrenâs room. âHe locked himself in and wouldnât let me in. He keeps saying that he can manage on his own. What can such a young child handle? Take this bowl of medicine to him. Heâll be fine once he drinks it.â
