She’s visibly lost some weight in the past few days—

...

Before Ruan Tianling left, he arranged for a nurse to apply medicine for her.

He also instructed a few of his men to take good care of Jian Yufei and keep her away from Xiao Zexin.

Once everything was arranged, he went to find Qi Ruigang.

Jian Yufei waited for him at the hospital.

After Xiao Zexin was injected with a sedative, he soon fell asleep again.

Now that he was no longer aggressive, Jian Yufei could go take care of him.

Jian Yufei sat by the bed, gently holding her father’s hand.

She thought of Ruan Tianling’s analysis; there must be some conspiracy behind her father’s accident.

But what exactly is the conspiracy...?

She was really afraid that something even more dangerous was waiting for them.

...

When Ruan Tianling returned, Jian Yufei had fallen asleep on the hospital room sofa.

Xiao Zexin still hadn’t woken up.

The two bodyguards at the door kept watching inside, ready in case Xiao Zexin woke up at any moment.

Now that Ruan Tianling was back, they no longer needed to be on guard.

Ruan Tianling walked over to Jian Yufei and saw she wasn’t sleeping well.

Even in her dreams, her brow was slightly furrowed—

He bent down and gently picked her up.

Jian Yufei woke up immediately, met his gaze, and was momentarily bewildered.

"You’re back?"

"Yes." Ruan Tianling didn’t put her down, carrying her as he continued to walk outside.

"Put me down. I still need to look after Dad."

"Your father has nursing care, you don’t need to be by his side constantly."

Jian Yufei didn’t insist further.

The room next door was their temporary residence.

Ruan Tianling placed her on the bed, helped her take off her shoes, and pulled the blanket over her.

"Keep sleeping. You haven’t rested well these past few days."

Jian Yufei had slept for a bit, but now she couldn’t fall asleep.

"Did Qi Ruigang agree to help?" she asked.

Ruan Tianling sat beside her: "He agreed, we’ll likely have news later."

Jian Yufei was very worried, afraid that they would receive bad news.

Ruan Tianling said, "Don’t worry too much about unknown things, overthinking is bad for your health."

"You’re right."

"I’ll handle everything else. You just sleep. I’ll wake you if there’s news."

Jian Yufei nodded, "Okay."

She closed her eyes but was full of concerns.

But she was truly exhausted; she hadn’t really rested in days and could no longer hold on.

Hearing her even breathing, Ruan Tianling got up and quietly left.

...

When Jian Yufei woke up, it was already evening.

Only a desk lamp was lit in the room.

Ruan Tianling sat on the sofa with his head slightly lowered, sleeping with an air of nobility even in his posture.

Jian Yufei got off the bed quietly, took a blanket over to him, and gently covered him with it.

Ruan Tianling didn’t wake up, and Jian Yufei didn’t disturb him, quietly leaving the room.

She walked to the door of Xiao Zexin’s room, just about to enter when a bodyguard stopped her: "Ma’am, you can’t go in now, Mr. Xiao has woken up."

Jian Yufei looked inside and sure enough, Xiao Zexin was awake.

He was staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"Is he emotionally agitated?"

"As long as no one approaches him, Mr. Xiao remains like this."

"Has my dad eaten?"

"He’s been given some food, and he has eaten."

Jian Yufei felt a bit more at ease—

Since she couldn’t go in, she just stood at the door, watching her father.

Occasionally noticing her presence, Xiao Zexin would just emotionlessly avert his gaze.

There was no one else in his eyes anymore.
