Ye Yuan did not let her off the hook: "If Feiyu didn’t force you to come, would you really not visit him?"

Ye Lu glared at him in annoyance: "Yuanyuan, are you throwing a million whys at me today?"

"Mommy, do you have feelings for him?"

Ye Yuan’s blunt question left Ye Lu stunned and momentarily speechless.

After a while ——

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Her voice was near panicked.

Ye Yuan stared earnestly into her eyes: "But I saw you crying earlier. You thought he was in critical condition; your expression made it seem like the world was ending."

Ye Lu was startled again — she had cried and had been distraught?

She hadn’t realized, nor was she aware of her own actions, because her mind had been blank at the time.

"How could that be possible, you must have seen wrong... And do you know what distraught means? How could I get distraught because of him? After all, he’s someone we know, and anyway would feel sympathy for someone they know going through a life-threatening situation."

Embarrassed, she was also experiencing a sense of fear.

Was she really like what Yuanyuan had described? Was she frightened to tears, and in near hysterics?

"Moreover, he is also the father of our baby, it’s not possible for me to be indifferent, right?"

Yes, that’s definitely why she’s so worried about him. Because of their child.

After all, he is the father of her child, she couldn’t be completely heartless and ungrateful, could she?

"Mommy, you are trying to convince me, but actually you have to convince yourself. Are you really sure you have no feelings for him? You’ve been looking after him in the hospital, not changing your clothes for days, are you really forced? You were so scared earlier, is it just because he is the father of your siblings? Also, that day in the ward, the way you yelled at him, was it out of hatred, not disappointment, sadness, or jealousy?"

"What did you say?" Ye Lu’s voice trembled, her face turned pale.

"Are you afraid to acknowledge and feel your inner emotions? But in crucial moments, you still react instinctively. Mommy, are you avoiding reality?" Ye Yuan was straightforward.

Because all this time, he had been observing many details.

Maybe Mommy hadn’t even noticed, but he had seen her being hurt because of that man.

If she had no feelings would she be affected? She would just simply hate that man more.

Also, during times of danger, she called that man first.

And when she heard that man was ill, the look of worry on her face.

"Enough, these are adult matters, it’s none of your business." Ye Lu’s face further pales, her mind thrown into turmoil, "Let’s go!"

Ye Yuan remained silent.

When they returned to the ward, the consultation had ended. Yan Su’s teacher, an authoritative-looking elderly man from Europe, was indeed prominent.

He brought a powerful team that had already sampled the bacteria from Third Young Master Jun’s body for testing.

Whether Third Young Master Jun can be saved was now in his hands.

That night, Ye Lu sat quietly at the front of the sickbed, vacantly staring at Third Young Master Jun, repeating over and over Yuanyuan’s question: Do you like him?

Like a curse, it enveloped her, driving her to the brink of madness.

"How could I possibly like you?" She stared at Third Young Master Jun.

A man who disrupted her life, a man who had hurt and coerced her multiple times. How could she ever develop feelings for him?

He was so cold-hearted, so dangerous and domineering. Like a fierce hunter, he could easily tear his prey apart. She used to fear him, dislike him, and even hate him.
