âGet away from me!â Chai Xiyang violently pushed her away, and Qiao Ning fell to the ground!
âAhâ¦â she exclaimed in pain.
Shards of glass on the floor pierced into her palm, and blood quickly gushed outâ¦
âMiss Qiao, are you okay?â A nurse hurriedly came to help her up.
âIâm okayâ¦â Qiao Ning shook her head, but her hand began to bleed profuselyâ¦
Xiyang glanced at her, then started to cough violently.
âQuickly, get a doctor!â Qiao Ning shouted urgently.
The doctor arrived swiftly. After some treatment, Chai Xiyangâs condition slowly stabilized, and he fell into a drug-induced sleep.
Qiao Ning sat in a chair outside the door while a nurse dressed her wounds.
The nurse consoled her, âMiss Qiao, your wound isnât too deep, donât worry.â
âDonât worry, Iâm fine.â
The nurse smiled, âYouâre so patient. But you have to understand that patients can be like that, especially people with Mr. Chaiâs condition. Their emotions can be very unstable.â
Qiao Ning nodded, âI understand.â
She knew that Chai Xiyang was venting his frustrations on her because he felt terrible physically.
He already disliked her, so it was rather forbearing of him to only get angry at her.
She had been at the hospital every day, seeing many seriously ill patients who would lash out at their loved ones when they were in pain.
So she understood Xiyang, and was not upset.
She was just upset about his current situationâ¦
His condition was worsening day by day, tormented by pain every day, and every time she saw him suffering, she would feel the pain too.
She hoped they could find a matching bone marrow donor soon, but his uncleâs bone marrow was not a match, and neither was theirsâ¦
She didnât know when they would find a suitable one.
Chai Xiyang was deep in sleep, and Qiao Ning, sitting outside the door, also drifted off into slumber from exhaustion.
Lately, she had been getting very little sleep, not only taking care of Chai Xiyang, but also assisting with police investigations, her mental and physical health were severely taxed, leaving her utterly exhausted.
She didnât know how much time had passed when she was nudged awake from her deep sleep.
Qiao Ning opened her eyes groggily to see her mother standing in front of her.
Kong Minjuan asked directly, âQiao Ning, how is Chai Xiyangâs condition now? Has it worsened?â
Qiao Ning could hear the hopeful tone in her momâs voice, which bothered her, âWhat are you doing here?â she answered, her tone was cold.
The last person Xiyang would want to see is herâ¦
Kong Minjuan glared at her, âCanât I come? Just tell me, howâs his condition, I heard itâs getting worse.â
âNo, heâs doing just fine!â Qiao Ningâs tone remained cold.
Since that incident, the relationship between the mother and daughter had become estranged.
Kong Minjuan didnât believe her and chuckled smugly, âDonât think I donât know, his condition is deteriorating. I bet heâll die sooner or later.â
âHave you had enough?!â Qiao Ning got up to return to the hospital room, not wanting to waste her breath on her mother.
Kong Minjuan grabbed her arm, speaking sternly, âQiao Ning, I am your mother after all, and I want the best for you. So, donât blame me for not warning you. Now is the time for you to make a good impression on your Uncle Chai. That way, your legal troubles can be resolved, and when Xiyang dies, you will also get a share of the Chai familyâs assets. Be smart now and please Chai Xiyang, got it?â
