"What’s the use of that?"

"Why have you become so sentimental now? I still prefer your tough girl side, so cool and carefree!"

"Do you enjoy being abused?"

"Forget I said anything... Next time, don’t stay up so late. Look at the time! Even if you don’t sleep, my son needs his rest. From now on, go to bed on time." Lan Liehuo hugged her and led her to the bedroom.

Until the two entered the bedroom and Gu Qingxin heard the door close, her face turned pale, coming back to her senses slowly. She gently closed the bedroom door, a suffocating feeling overwhelming her chest...

Something happened again...

Another person close to her got into trouble...

Xiao Nuan, you must be strong, you must get through this!

...

The next day.

Gu Qingxin became unusually silent, eating breakfast quietly without saying a word.

Ye Yingsu noticed her odd behavior and asked worriedly, "Qingxin, what’s wrong?"

"I’m sorry, I heard everything you talked about yesterday." Gu Qingxin put down her food, looked up, and gave her an apologetic glance.

Ye Yingsu immediately looked at Lan Liehuo, who shrugged, indicating he knew nothing.

"Qingxin..."

"After breakfast, I’ll go to the hospital to check on An Xiaonuan." Gu Qingxin said.

"Then I’ll go with you."

"I will too."

"Xiao Nuan... she’s really a pitiful girl, finally finding her happiness, only to encounter such a calamity... Sometimes, life is just not fair." Gu Qingxin lost her appetite.

Ye Yingsu observed her dejected and sorrowful expression, feeling quite vexed. Why did they discuss it in the living room yesterday; they should have talked in the bedroom.

Ever since she got pregnant, her intelligence seems to have rapidly declined.

At this rate, she might as well start all over again.

...

After a night of emergency rescue and surgery, An Xiaonuan’s surgery was finally completed. But due to the burns, with the risk of infection, she needed to be observed in the ICU for a few days to pass the dangerous period.

Bai Jingqing almost brought in all the experts in Ming City to perform surgery on An Xiaonuan, which allowed the procedure to be completed so quickly.

That night, it was like Huangfu Ye was in a dream. Until An Xiaonuan was pushed out, he suddenly realized, looking at the girl on the hospital bed, tightly wrapped in gauze with only her face exposed, he was utterly breathless...

Just the previous evening, she had been at home cooking for him. They cooked together, ate together, washed dishes together, watched some TV, and finally went to the bedroom to rest.

He held her in his arms, her body soft and smooth, making him reluctant to let go.

Today, she’s lying on this hospital bed, wrapped in that damned gauze. He desperately wanted to touch her, hold her, but there was nowhere he could even start.

Huangfu Ye’s tears fell unknowingly again; he wanted to touch An Xiaonuan’s face, but Bai Jingqing stopped him.

"She’s still very vulnerable now. Any tiny disturbance could be fatal. Absolutely no touching! Right now, her biggest enemy is bacteria!" Bai Jingqing sternly warned him.

Huangfu Ye hastily withdrew his hand as if scalded, covering his face as he cried again.

An Xiaonuan was transferred to ICU. Everyone inside wore sterile clothing, and no visitors were allowed at present.

Bai Jingqing really didn’t dare to be careless now, whether concerning An Xiaonuan’s condition or external security factors.
