She turned around to find the patient’s ward and ignored Qin Xiaoyu but Qin Xiaoyu quickly grabbed her just as she was about to leave.

Qin Xiaoyu, that… was a misunderstanding,
Qin Xiayu said with some disbelief.
He Xiyan turned around looking stunned. She widened her eyes that were full of anxiety and looked at Qin Xiaoyu with confusion.

What was a misunderstanding?

Did they really end up in the wrong hospital? Was he truly not at this hospital?


Qin Xiaoyu shook her head and sighed. Then, she continued,
That wasn’t Mr. Ye but your ex-husband. We made a mistake!

Bang…
He Xiyan suddenly felt as though someone had hit her head with a bamboo pole and yellow stars swivelled around the top of her head. She suddenly felt faint.
The person who had undergone an operation wasn’t Ye Hao but…
What was going on?

Let’s go,
Qin Xiaoyu tugged hard at He Xiyan’s hand. She had also been equally surprised.
It was true that they had made a mistake so they had to hurry back before Mr. Ye grew suspicious.

Let’s go,
Qin Xiaoyu tugged at He Xiyan once more when she saw that He Xiyan hadn’t budged.
He Xiyan pursed her lips tightly and the shock disappeared from her face to be replaced by a trace of sadness and conflicted feelings.
In the past, she would take care of him each time he felt unwell and she had been extremely worried for him. If he felt a little faint or unwell, she would be so worried for him that she felt like crying, and even wished that she was the one who was unwell instead.


However, she was surprised to find out that she was still the first person he thought of contacting when he felt unwell today. Did he not realize that things had ended between them?
She only wished him well and hoped that he’d be able to start anew.

Xiaoyu, give me a minute. I’ll be right back,
He Xiyan pulled Qin Xiaoyu’s hand off her.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm her overly emotional feelings, then she followed the signs to his ward.
She arrived at the VIP ward and saw through the crack of the door that a man was lying on the hospital bed. She watched him lie quietly on the white hospital bed with an IV drip still attached to his arm. He looked extremely pale and very frail, like a completely different person compared to his past self.
Li Qin’s heart problem recurring must have taken a huge toll on him which then resulted in this gastric problem.
She shook her head helplessly. She didn’t feel too good herself to see him in such a state.
Since the day she left the Mo family, she didn’t hate him but rather, she felt as though their destiny had come to an end and hoped that they would both live well from then on. Now, she only wished him well.
She saw a nurse walking by and grabbed her hand as she said,
Could you please ask the woman in that ward to step out for a moment?

The nurse nodded and didn’t question her further since she was just here to change the medication.


Soon, that woman stepped out.
She looked at He Xiyan in surprise and said,
Why didn’t you go in? He’s already awake and the operation was a success.
Then, she smiled and thought that she had really been a good samaritan today.
He Xiyan shook her head and smiled helplessly. Then, she took out a wad of cash from her bag and handed it to the woman in front of her.

Please take this. Could I trouble you to take care of him for a moment? I’ll contact the maids who work for his family and they’d be here soon enough.

Then, she turned to leave.
She wasn’t reluctant to meet him but it just wasn’t suitable for them to meet anymore. Once some relationships came to an end, they could no longer return to being friends and might even become familiar strangers.
