My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 583 - 581: Better Not to Meet

Little Yixun nodded, half-understanding half-not. She was still too young to fully grasp the adult world but still wished for her parents to be together.

Lin Yixun didn’t want to get tangled up in this topic anymore. To be exact, she wanted to avoid it. She wasn’t afraid of Leng Yixiu; in front of him, she could arm herself to the teeth. But in front of the child, she felt at a loss.

She glanced at the collection of fairy tales on the coffee table, smiled, and changed the topic, "Yixun, let mommy tell you a story."

Children are easily distracted. Little Yixun cheered, "Yes, yes! Mommy, I want to hear the story of Snow White."

"Alright, let me find it and see if it’s in here."

"It is, it is. Daddy read it to me before, but he only read half of it and didn’t finish it."

Sister Yi saw Lin Yixun flipping through the index for a long time without finding it and then added, "It’s on page 132."

Not long after the drip was finished, due to the effects of the medication, Little Yixun, who was already a bit drowsy, quickly fell asleep while listening to the story.

Lin Yixun gently patted Little Yixun’s back, singing a lullaby as she did so. Over the years, she had missed so much. From now on, she was determined to make it up to her.

What she didn’t know was that just as she set her mind to start over and give the best of the world to Little Yixun, their time given by fate was already running short.

"Sister Yi, can I have a word with you?"

Sister Yi’s eyes briefly showed surprise before she nodded and followed Lin Yixun out of the ward.

"Is Yixun really just having a regular cold?" Lin Yixun asked.

Upon hearing this, Sister Yi’s face changed slightly. She avoided Lin Yixun’s gaze, forcing a stiff smile on her lips. "Yes, Miss Lin, you know, there’s a flu outbreak lately. Kids have weaker immunity and get infected easily."

"Is it really so?" Lin Yixun asked skeptically.

A regular cold could make Little Yixun this weak? How could she have lost so much weight in just a few days?

"Yes, Miss Lin. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the doctors and nurses here."

Sister Yi wasn’t afraid of Lin Yixun. To prevent Little Yixun’s condition from being exposed, Leng Yixiu had already notified the hospital to maintain strict confidentiality. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

In truth, Sister Yi wanted to tell Lin Yixun about Little Yixun’s condition. That child was too pitiful, and the gentleman too. She feared that one day, if Miss Lin found out, she would resent the gentleman.

But as a servant, there were things she couldn’t meddle in. After all, she drew her salary from him and had to follow his orders.

Ultimately, Sister Yi didn’t tell Lin Yixun the truth. Instead, she quietly said, "Miss Lin, at this time, the gentleman should be back soon."

Lin Yixun understood Sister Yi’s hint and didn’t press further. She thought Sister Yi had no reason to hide anything from her in this matter.

"Alright, I’ll leave now and come back another day," she said, not wanting to run into Leng Yixiu and invite trouble.

Lin Yixun didn’t know that Leng Yixiu had actually been at Shengde Hospital all afternoon, just never showing up.

"Sir, why are you doing this?" Old He was puzzled by Leng Yixiu’s behavior.

The gentleman clearly loved Miss Lin deeply, often staring dazedly at her photo. So why did he pretend not to be around and avoid seeing her when she came?

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the man’s eyes were fixed intently on the slender figure in the distance. He gave a self-mocking smile, "She doesn’t want to see me. Why should I put myself in such a position?"
