Ye Li arrived at the hospital just as Li Xueqing had taken her dicine and was getting ready to sleep.
After marrying Fu Yanci, the hospital had moved Li Xueqing from the general ward to the VIP intensive care ward.
The environnt had improved by several tis over.
Not only that, Fu Yanci had also arranged for a dedicated caretaker to look after Li Xueqing.
During their last eting, Li Xueqing had been hysterical, either accusing the nurse who was giving her an IV of harboring ill intentions to harm her or pointing at Ye Li and blaming her for ruining the family and causing her husband’s death.
But this ti, Li Xueqing was able to calmly cooperate with the nurse’s instructions to take her dication and receive injections.
Even though she still didn’t rember Ye Li.
After helping Li Xueqing brush her teeth and wash her face, Ye Li coaxed her to tuck in under the covers to sleep.
Ye Li lay on the coffee table, finishing her howork under the dim floor lamp, and fell asleep on the sofa.
Sleeping next to her mother, even on a sofa, Ye Li felt a deep sense of security.
She had a dreamless night.
When the alarm went off, Ye Li went to the hospital cafeteria to grab breakfast and then ca back to eat with Li Xueqing before waving goodbye.
"Mom, I’ll co to keep you company after school!"
As she stepped out of the hospital building, the cold wind blew, and Ye Li quickened her pace toward the bus stop.
During the morning rush hour, the subway was packed like a can of sardines.
Her whole body was jostled about, all her strength focused on the hand gripping the handle.
And this was an experience she had never had in the past 20 years.
A pang of sorrow just began to erge, but thinking of how her life, which had already plumted to rock bottom, was gradually improving, and how she could calmly go to school and spend the evenings with her mother, Ye Li felt that this bit of hardship was nothing at all.
For two days in a row, she went back to the dorm after school to change books, then to the student cafeteria for dinner.
After eating, she finished her howork in the library and just missed the evening rush hour; Ye Li then took the subway to the hospital.
Thinking that this was going to be her future life made Ye Li feel very good.
Fu Yanci’s mood was not so pleasant.
The WeChat conversation ended on Monday night.
After that, it seed as if Ye Li had forgotten his existence.
As if the "husband" she had called him that night was his own imagination.
He wanted to take the initiative to contact her but didn’t know how.
Even before it had started, Fu Yanci had already thought of the girl’s seemingly relieved "Goodnight, Fu Yanci."
Luckily, it was almost Friday!
But the thought that tomorrow was Friday made the ti pass even more slowly.
Looking at the dense blackness outside the window, Fu Yanci grabbed his car keys and left the house.
The Maybach drove straight to the hospital.
The doctors were professional, the nurses responsible, and the caregivers were beyond reproach.
After a thorough inquiry, he sat back in the car and, feeling greatly relieved, Fu Yanci sent a WeChat ssage, "Ye Li, I have visited mom, and she’s in great condition."
Before the ssage was sent, he looked up and saw Ye Li with her backpack, entering the building.
He deleted the ssage and sent a new one, "Where are you?"
Seconds later, Ye Li replied, "I’m at the library doing my howork."
Little liar!
Far from angry, Fu Yanci seed to have grown accustod to the girl’s little deceptions.
His heart was filled with the thought of standing on the steps later, the embarrassingly and awkward state on the girl’s face as she was caught lying, bringing a smile to his eyes.
The slow passage of ti was not at all torturous when there was soone to look forward to seeing.
Ten o’clock.
Half past ten.
Realizing he might not make it back before lights out, Fu Yanci stood up, got out of the car, and headed for the ward.
The lights in Li Xueqing’s room were already out.
His gaze lingered montarily, thinking the girl had already taken a taxi away alone, and just as a touch of annoyance was rising in Fu Yanci, he heard the soft voice inside the room, "Mom, goodnight..."
So, she was going to stay here tonight?
His face darkened in an instant at the thought.
Turning to leave, Fu Yanci dialed a number, "Xiang Yang, check what’s going on and get back to as soon as possible!"
"Understood!"
In the ti it took Fu Yanci to walk back to the car, Xiang Yang had already found out the situation.
Into the night, the Maybach, seemingly engulfed by a fierce aura, roared toward Imperial University.
