Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 715 - 707: Family of Three (Part 8)

The butler sighed in relief, "Thank you, sir."

Xiang Yiqing smiled faintly and, after securing Charles’s IV, he instructed the butler, "He should wake up soon. After he wakes up, give him something high in sugar."

The butler nodded, "Understood."

Xiang Yiqing pursed his lips and turned to Ji Anning, "Let’s go."

He shoved his hands into his pockets and walked towards the door. Ji Anning looked back one more time at the photograph on the bedside table, feeling a familiar sensation but unable to recall why.

"This old man’s hypoglycemia seems even worse than Chicheng’s," he remarked as they left Charles’s room.

Xiang Yiqing chatted casually with Ji Anning.

This old man...

Hearing Xiang Yiqing’s reference to Charles, Ji Anning’s mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn’t help but recall Charles’s handsome, aged face, thinking that the old demon must be nearly fifty, yet his face bore no marks of the years, just like Qi Helian’s mother.

It was her first time seeing a man who preserved himself so well.

To call him an old man really felt quite discordant.

"How is Ming Yue?" Xiang Yiqing inquired about Ji Mingyue.

Gathering her thoughts, Ji Anning pointed towards Ji Mingyue’s room, telling him, "In that room, but with Charles in this condition, I doubt you can take her away without him."

At this, Xiang Yiqing frowned, "It seems I was too gentle earlier."

"Ha..." Ji Anning laughed, knowing that he had deliberately made a mistake earlier, "I never expected Doctor Xiang to also employ such tricks."

Xiang Yiqing laughed and headed towards Ji Mingyue’s room.

Approaching the door, he gently pushed it open. A disheveled woman sat in a wheelchair, her back to them, facing the window, motionless, her focus unknowable.

Seeing that image, both Ji Anning and Xiang Yiqing felt a tightness in their hearts and were deeply moved.

Xiang Yiqing couldn’t help but remember the once lively and boisterous Ji Mingyue, who used to speak loudly and was quite carefree.

But now, she had ended up like this.

"Ming Yue."

Xiang Yiqing approached Ji Mingyue softly, tremblingly called out to her.

"You can go, I don’t want to see you." Ji Mingyue didn’t turn around, her voice cold and despairing.

Xiang Yiqing stepped forward, squatted beside her, and was just about to speak when his gaze landed on her neck. His eyes widened in shock, and his usually calm demeanor instantly turned fierce, as if he had stepped into a minefield.

He stood up, walking sternly towards the door. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ji Anning knew why and quickly stopped him, "Doctor Xiang, calm down, Charles hasn’t done anything to my cousin."

Even if something had happened, this was Charles’s house, and this was not the place to be impulsive. Here, they were less significant than extras.

"You all leave, I don’t want to see you, do you hear me?"

Ji Mingyue suddenly turned her head, shouting at them angrily; her face contorted with disgust as she glared at Ji Anning, her hatred palpable.

Not wanting to provoke her further, Ji Anning whispered to Xiang Yiqing, "I’ll go out first; if possible, stay with her."

Saying this, she turned and left.

After leaving the room, she stood by the door for a while. Hearing no outburst from Ji Mingyue, she left reassured.

She felt that Ji Mingyue was still willing to be close to Xiang Yiqing. It was worth a try.
