Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 312: The One with the Persistent High Fever (5)_1

Chapter 312: Chapter 312: The One with the Persistent High Fever (5)_1

Ji Yunhuan abruptly hung up the phone.

Listening to the silence inside, Assistant Gao sighed. He walked into the bedroom and looked at Qi Cheng lying on the sickbed. He had just finished an IV and had fallen asleep.

The night Qi Cheng had a fight with Ji Yunhuan, he came back very late and had been sick since then.

He got extremely upset by Ji Yunhuan that day, but he didn’t bother her by telling her he was ill.

Ever since two years ago, Qi Cheng’s body had been frail due to past ailments. If he didn’t rest well, he would catch colds and get fevers.

At first, he only had a cough and was still alert, but it gradually got worse. Today, he had been asleep without waking up even for meals, relying on doctors to give him nutrients through an IV.

Assistant Gao wouldn’t have thought to call Ji Yunhuan if Qi Cheng’s condition hadn’t been so severe.

Qi Cheng woke up only once today.

Assistant Gao always knew Qi Cheng’s deep feelings for Ji Yunhuan. He knew how devoted Qi Cheng was to her. Even when Ji Yunhuan treated him badly, Qi Cheng hadn’t been with other women for the past two years.

There were plenty of women who threw themselves at Qi Cheng. Their attitudes towards him were far better than Ji Yunhuan’s...

But Qi Cheng still only remembered Ji Yunhuan...

Yet Ji Yunhuan always treated Qi Cheng poorly and often angered him.

The door was open. Someone came in from outside. Xie Xingwei stood beside, her voice soft and delicate, "Assistant Gao, how is Mr. Qi?"

Recently, Xie Xingwei had been frequently appearing here. Ever since Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng divorced, she had been at Qi Residence, actively staying by Qi Cheng’s side. Even though Qi Cheng was indifferent towards her, she always accompanied him. Over time, Qi Cheng couldn’t be bothered to chase her away, and pretended not to care. She was also completely indifferent.

Xie Xingwei was thrown out earlier this morning, but now she came back.

Assistant Gao glanced at her. As a subordinate, seeing someone so concerned about Qi Cheng brought him comfort. He didn’t think it was necessary to drive Xie Xingwei away again.

Maybe if Xie Xingwei stayed, Qi Cheng would gradually realize Ji Yunhuan’s coldness.

He said, "The doctor said it’s just a little fever, nothing serious."

Xie Xingwei’s worried gaze was fixed on Qi Cheng, "He always disregards everything for Ms. Ji. It would be fine if Ms. Ji treated him well, but every time, he gets hurt so deeply."

Assistant Gao remained silent. What Xie Xingwei said was the truth in his heart. When Qi Cheng was awake, they didn’t dare say it, but now Qi Cheng couldn’t hear.

By evening, Qi Cheng’s high fever was worse than it was during the day.

The doctors stayed at Qi Residence, occasionally checking on his condition. Xie Xingwei hadn’t left either and stayed by his side in the room.

"Let’s go out! Let Mr. Qi rest well," Assistant Gao said at ten p.m.

Xie Xingwei stared at Qi Cheng, then sat down beside him. "You all go out. I’ll stay and watch over him."

"Ms. Xie," Assistant Gao tried to stop her.

"I’m just worried about him. Mr. Qi is a very important person to me," she said with deep emotion in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Assistant Gao had nothing more to say.

Her gentleness, compared to Ji Yunhuan’s coldness, made her more agreeable.

After Assistant Gao left and closed the door, the room quieted down.

Xie Xingwei found Qi Cheng’s hand and held it sincerely in her palm. Usually, his hand was always cool, but now, it was burning hot, making her anxious.

Thinking about his current state and Ji Yunhuan, Xie Xingwei hated her deeply.

Two years ago, Ji Yunhuan had hurt Qi Cheng badly. When Qi Cheng finally started to get better, that woman re-entered his life again.

Thinking of this, Xie Xingwei’s usually calm face was now full of rage.

She loved Qi Cheng, so even when Qi Cheng didn’t want her, she didn’t mind. But she hated Ji Yunhuan for hurting Qi Cheng like this.

To others, Qi Cheng was precious, but to Ji Yunhuan, he was just something to be trampled on.

Xie Xingwei gripped Qi Cheng’s hand tightly. She knew she wouldn’t have the chance to hold his hand when he was awake. Even the last time she met him at the matchmaking event, she had to make excuses and invite him out.

She initially just wanted to spend some time with Qi Cheng. She never expected to run into Ji Yunhuan there.

From her perspective, Ji Yunhuan was everywhere, just like she existed solely to one-up her.

Thinking of this, Xie Xingwei felt a deep sense of resentment.

Sweat appeared on Qi Cheng’s face. He seemed to be in pain.

Xie Xingwei sat beside him, pressing her cheek against his hand, unable to stop thinking about the past.

Before Ji Yunhuan appeared, Qi Cheng had been kind to her.

Growing up in a poor family, her parents weren’t bad to her, but they weren’t especially affectionate either. They even thought it wasn’t necessary for a girl to study so much, even though she did well in school. In her parents’ eyes, it was all useless.

Ji Yunhuan was different. Her family was wealthy, so even if she didn’t study hard every day, many people admired her.

From then on, Xie Xingwei saw the unfairness in Ji Yunhuan.

But she was a kind person and didn’t pursue jealousy, focusing on doing her best.

In school, she endured many injustices until she met Qi Cheng. He was the man who cared for her the most in the world and treated her the best. Even though she knew Qi Cheng didn’t genuinely love her, Xie Xingwei still loved being around him and admired everything about him.

Qi Cheng gave her a lot of money and material things...

But staying by Qi Cheng’s side was no longer about those things.

Thinking about Qi Cheng’s past kindness, Xie Xingwei lifted her head and looked at Qi Cheng again.

At this moment, Qi Cheng, lying on the bed in a daze, clutched Xie Xingwei’s hand tightly, but he was calling out Ji Yunhuan’s name. He thought he was still on the island with Ji Yunhuan, who was next to him, so gentle and sweet, never doing anything to upset him, never getting entangled with Bai Liyan.

The happiest thing in the world was turning back time, and in his dreams, Qi Cheng was experiencing the happiest moments.

Hearing Qi Cheng call out Ji Yunhuan’s name, intense jealousy flashed in Xie Xingwei’s eyes. But the next second, she relaxed. She watched Qi Cheng, trembling, slowly reaching for her buttons. She was wearing a shirt with a long skirt below...
