Ling Qi jumped out of bed. Not even wearing shoes, she ran directly toward the door.

The caregiver sneered. “What are you doing?!”

Hearing the holler of the caregiver, Ling Qi halted and looked at Guan Meiyi with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that Ling Qi did not run out and just stood there, the caregiver relaxed her brows and said coldly, “I am going to be by the door. Don’t talk too long, the patient needs rest.”

Guan Meiyi didn’t look pleased, but she did not refute the caregiver. She took her handbag and walked in slowly. The door was slammed shut from the outside and Guan Meiyi’s body trembled at the sound of it.

When she saw the door close, Ling Qi walked up quickly and grabbed Guan Meiyi’s hand. “My Meiyi, what took you so long?”

Guan Meiyi looked around and studied the living conditions there. It was clean enough and she had a separate ward with a personal toilet and shower. Ling Qi, except for looking a bit older, didn’t change much. It seemed that the hospital was not mistreating her.

Ling Qi let Guan Meiyi sit on her bed. “Are you coming to get me out?”

Guan Meiyi shook her head. “Dad still doesn’t want you out.”

Ling Qi dropped Meiyi’s hand instantly when she heard that. Her emotions that had been pressed down suddenly erupted. “How long are you going to lock me in here? I am not crazy! What’s the reason to lock me in here?! Tell me, does your father have a woman outside? Does he? He must have one, that must be the case!” Ling Qi shouted, walking back and forth in the room barefoot. Then she suddenly turned to Guan Meiyi. “Have you even talked to Guan Jianlin about getting me out? I am your mother, I gave birth to you and raised you. How can you stand by that old fool, Guan Jianlin? Neither of you cares about me anymore, is that it!?”

“What are you yelling about?!” The nurse suddenly opened the door. “Do you want me to call the doctor?”

Ling Qi immediately quieted down and sat on the bed. “Nothing, I am fine. I was just too excited to see my daughter.”

The caregiver glanced at Guan Meiyi and did not say anything. She then closed the door.

At that moment, Guan Meiyi felt really sad inside. From the second her mother saw her, all she was concerned about was why her father did not let her out. She even blamed Guan Meiyi for not persuading her father.

Guan Meiyi thought that her mother was crying because she missed her. The reality was not what she expected.

She didn’t even ask her how she was doing, why she became so thin, whether anyone bullied her... Ling Qi didn’t care about any of that. All she did was accuse her and complaining about her with resentment in her eyes...

“Mom, I came to tell you that I am getting married tomorrow. Dad said...”

“You are getting married?” Ling Qi interrupted Guan Meiyi’s words. “I am suffering in here and you are getting married? Guan Meiyi, you are an awful daughter! I raised you for nothing!”

“Dad said, as long as I marry He Zhenxuan, he will let you out.” Those were the words Guan Meiyi thought and originally wanted to say to Ling Qi. She was interrupted by Ling Qi’s impatient and cruel words.

Guan Meiyi felt heartbroken, but she could not shed tears. All of a sudden, she forgot how to face her parents. The happy family she thought she had was just an illusion. Her parents did not love her; they loved the benefits she could bring them.

“Mom, I am getting married. You are not curious who I am getting married to?” Guan Meiyi whimpered.
