Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 606: Not Allowing Her to Get Out of Bed_1
Ji Yunhuan climbed up and found that Bai Liyan had already squeezed toothpaste onto her brush. This was something that required the use of both hands, and he had prepared it for her.
She brushed her teeth and came out. The servant had already brought breakfast, and Bai Liyan accompanied her while she ate. He was afraid she would hurt her other hand while eating, so he watched her carefully.
Facing his meticulous care, Ji Yunhuan didn’t know what to say.
After eating, Bai Liyan said to Ji Yunhuan, "You shouldn’t leave the bed today."
"..." Ji Yunhuan protested, "Only my hand is injured, my legs are fine."
"You have a wound on your foot, remember?" The spot that had been abraded last night still hurt when she walked. She had just been enduring the pain. But Ji Yunhuan still felt that his request was a bit excessive. "Do you think I can sit here at ease?"
Without knowing how Ruirui was, she couldn’t even sleep, let alone sit idly.
Bai Liyan looked serious, "Will you listen to me?"
"..." Ji Yunhuan could only remain silent.
Bai Liyan looked at her, sighed helplessly, and said to the servant, "Take all this away."
Soon, Bai Liyan walked out the door. Zhou Yixiu, who had already left, stood in the hallway smoking. He was beaten up by Bai Liyan yesterday and again today, but his mood was unaffected. He looked at Bai Liyan with curiosity.
Bai Liyan said, "You want me to cooperate with you. I agree, but please let her go. Our issues have nothing to do with her. Involving women and children really doesn’t suit your status, Mr. Zhou."
"That’s not possible." Zhou Yixiu said, "I can release the child, but letting her go is out of the question. Who knows what she might tell the Qi Family to deal with me? Until everything is done, I won’t take any risks. But rest assured, as long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee not to harm her in any way. Even if she cuts me with a knife, I’ll endure it."
The previous difficulties Ji Yunhuan faced were just his way of forcing Bai Liyan to comply. He wouldn’t bother with women and children otherwise.
"I am at your mercy; what are you still afraid of?" Like Ji Yunhuan, Bai Liyan had no freedom now and had no way to contact the outside world.
Zhou Yixiu laughed, "There’s nothing I can do. Although it is so, I am still afraid of you. You are the eldest son of the Bai Family, not someone simple, right? If I let her go and lose track of you, I’d lose out. Besides, I’m also doing this for your sake. Do you want her to go back to Qi Cheng? Think clearly, she is the woman you love the most."
"I’ve thought it through."
"Alright, I agree. As long as you perform the surgery for the Vice President in Country D, I’ll release her and the child. Okay?" Clearly frustrated by Bai Liyan’s refusal of his seemingly kind offer, Zhou Yixiu persisted.
Bai Liyan glared at him, finding this condition harsh. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Zhou Yixiu said, "Show me your sincerity, won’t you?"
"In the meantime, I don’t want to see her harmed in any way. Also..." Bai Liyan had no choice but to compromise, "If anything happens to her, you’ll face the consequences. You should understand that since I can heal, I can also kill. Creating trouble for you wouldn’t be difficult."
"Of course, I understand. That’s why I wouldn’t dare provoke you, right? If you get upset and do something during surgery, I’d be doomed. Though... I know you wouldn’t do that." As a doctor, Bai Liyan not only had excellent medical skills but also strong ethics. Once he agreed to save someone, he would do his best. This was what Zhou Yixiu admired about Bai Liyan.
When Bai Liyan left, Ji Yunhuan was already able to get out of bed, although her right hand still needed care. With servants looking after her, he wasn’t too worried.
The key was if he didn’t leave, Zhou Yixiu wouldn’t let Ruirui return. Even if Bai Liyan stayed with Ji Yunhuan, her attention would still be on Ruirui.
In the morning, after Ji Yunhuan got up, the servant helped her change clothes. She didn’t see Bai Liyan and asked curiously, "Mr. Bai didn’t come today?"
She wanted to hear news about Ruirui from him.
He kept telling her to wait a couple of days, but she had already waited several days.
The servant replied, "Mr. Bai left early in the morning."
"Left?" The word made Ji Yunhuan’s heart sink. She feared that Bai Liyan would leave her behind. Indeed, if Zhou Yixiu didn’t use her as a threat, how could he control Bai Liyan?
No matter how overboard Zhou Yixiu was, he didn’t dare do anything too drastic to Bai Liyan.
"Yes, I heard he agreed to cooperate with Mr. Zhou." The servant seemed happy, as if Zhou Yixiu’s mood affected them.
During her days here, Ji Yunhuan had understood that the servants were completely brainwashed by Zhou Yixiu.
Just thinking about Bai Liyan...
His agreement to cooperate with Zhou Yixiu meant he was forcing himself to do things he didn’t want to for her sake.
A deep sense of guilt spread in her heart.
He had done so much for her.
"Should I bring breakfast up too?" The servant, seeing Ji Yunhuan silent, asked about proper matters.
Ji Yunhuan looked at the weather outside, "No need."
During the days Bai Liyan was there, he forced her to rest in the room. She hadn’t been able to go out once.
Now that the wounds on her foot had healed and no longer hurt, she wanted to go out.
The servant accompanied her out.
Downstairs, Zhou Yixiu was there. Ji Yunhuan wanted to keep her distance from him as Bai Liyan had advised, but...she couldn’t pretend not to see him.
Zhou Yixiu sat on the sofa, playing with a child in his arms. The child was Ruirui, whom she hadn’t seen for days.
"Ruirui." Ji Yunhuan quickly walked over, but a bodyguard blocked her path.
After the last incident, the bodyguards were very cautious with her.
Ruirui heard the sound and turned to look at Ji Yunhuan, "Ma... Ma..."
Seeing her son safe and talking to her, Ji Yunhuan finally felt relieved. Fortunately, the child was young and hadn’t been psychologically impacted by that night.
Zhou Yixiu said, "Let her come over."
Ji Yunhuan approached and wanted to hold Ruirui. Zhou Yixiu, noticing her injured hand, said, "Better not. Your hand is hurt."
He placed Ruirui in a nearby stroller. Ji Yunhuan ignored Zhou Yixiu’s false concern, crouched down quickly, and grasped Ruirui’s hand, examining the little guy.
