My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 151: Revised - Disconsolate

In the past, when Lin Yixun would return to the hospital, Lin’s mother’s mood would generally be quite good. Even when her health wasn’t great, she never showed a gloomy face.

But today, the moment Lin Yixun stepped into the ward, she sensed that something was off with Lin’s mother. From the moment she returned until they finished their meal, Lin’s mother’s brows remained furrowed, and she sighed frequently. Several times she seemed to want to say something but held back when looking at Lin Yixun.

"Mom, is it because this isn’t to your taste? How about I order takeout?"

"No, I just don’t have much of an appetite."

"Even if you don’t have an appetite, you should still eat a little. The doctor said eating more meat and vegetables helps with recovery." As she spoke, Lin Yixun picked some vegetables from the plate and placed them in front of Lin’s mother, mumbling, "They say food is the essence of life; if you don’t eat well, how can your body hold up?"

"I really can’t eat." Lin’s mother sighed again, raising her eyes to look at Lin Yixun. Finally, she couldn’t hold back anymore and said, "Yixun, why hasn’t Xing Yi come to see me recently?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Lin Yixun’s face instantly dimmed. She forced a stiff smile, "Xing Yi has been quite busy with work lately. Once he has some free time, he will naturally come to see you."

To her surprise, Lin’s mother suddenly slammed her chopsticks down with a "bang," and cried out, "Yixun, why won’t you tell me the truth even now?"

Lin Yixun’s expression froze. She stammered, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

She intended to brush it off, but Lin’s mother unexpectedly retrieved a newspaper from somewhere and threw it in front of her. "Yixun, I already know about Xing Yi’s accident," she said.

Lin Yixun stared blankly at the article about Xing Yi’s car accident. Her heart ached, and her eyes reddened uncontrollably, but she tried to maintain a calm facade, "Oh, that’s just the media making things up. It’s not true at all."

"Xinming Times also gets things wrong? Yixun, even though I’m sick, I’m not that foolish!" Knowing that Xinming Times is one of the top newspapers in the country, "Yixun, tell me, did something really happen to Xing Yi? Huh?"

Lin Yixun couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. They burst forth uncontrollably. She lowered her head and nodded heavily. "Mom, I’m sorry."

Seeing Lin Yixun heartbroken and in tears, Lin’s mother was filled with anguish. She opened her arms and pulled Lin Yixun into a tight hug, gently patting her shoulder, "Silly child, what are you apologizing for? I know you didn’t tell me because you were afraid I’d be upset. But Yixun, I’m not that fragile. My only worry has always been you. Death and life are controlled by fate, not by us."

"Mom, Xing Yi died because of me! It’s my fault he’s dead!"

"I know, I know everything. I know you feel guilty, but no one could have predicted such a thing, right?"

"Mom..."

"Yixun, don’t cry. My Yixun is a strong child, no matter what happens, you can get through it."

...

Ouyang Hao noticed that Lin Yixun had seemed out of sorts these past few days. Whenever he saw her, her face was either blank or sad, as if her soul had been taken away.

Ouyang Hao was quite displeased with this. He rushed back from the set every day, after all.

Speculating on Lin Yixun’s unusual behavior, Ouyang Hao wondered if she had recently had a falling out with that bespectacled man and that’s why she seemed so out of sorts? It appeared Lin Yixun had been in less contact with the bespectacled man lately.

Could he be right?

Ouyang Hao felt a bit resentful. Wasn’t it just an insignificant man? Was it worth Lin Yixun’s loss of spirit?
