Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 670 - 650: It’s for Pampering Him, Not for Bullying Him!
Ade walked in, saw that Jiayi had awakened, and approached, "Madam, you had a high fever of thirty-nine degrees, coupled with a severe cold, which caused you to faint. But just now, the nurse checked on you and your fever has receded. As long as you take your medicine and rest well, you should be fine."
She sat on the bed, listening quietly. When Ade finished speaking, she asked, "Was it the young master who brought me here?"
"Yes."
"Where is he...?"
Ade hesitated a moment, "Boss had some official business to attend to. After bringing you to the hospital, George drove him back. You need to finish your IV, and then you’ll be observed in the hospital overnight. If your fever doesn’t continue, I’ll take you back home tomorrow morning."
Today was clearly his day off, or else he wouldn’t have had time to accompany Xiaolei to her audition. There was no official business.
Jiayi’s eyes, which had started to regain some spirit, dimmed again.
After bringing her to the hospital, he still didn’t want to face her.
Looking up, her eyes rippled like the surface of a lake, "Did he leave immediately after bringing me to the hospital?"
Ade answered frankly, "Boss stayed in the ward for a while. After seeing your fever go down and you stopped speaking nonsense, and deemed there was nothing serious, he left."
"I was talking nonsense?"
Ade nodded with a somewhat embarrassed face, obviously having overheard something while coming in and out to fetch the medicine, "Madam, you might have been delirious from the fever, mumbling confusedly, asking if the young master was still angry."
Her cheeks flushed slightly.
But even so, he still left, didn’t he?
Her fingertips curled up, digging into her palm.
Right at that moment, the IV drip was almost finished.
The nurse came in, removed the needle from the back of Jiayi’s hand, then pressed down with a cotton swab soaked in medical alcohol to disinfect the puncture site. She helped Jiayi lie down and covered her with a thin blanket.
Every move was as if attending to a queen.
Although the procedures for Jiayi’s hospital admission were not publicized, the nurse knew who the weak, pale young woman on the bed was. Having been discreetly instructed by the head nurse, she naturally took extra care.
Just then, footsteps sounded at the door.
Jiayi looked up, her heart skipping a beat for no reason. She abruptly sat up.
The footsteps grew closer, but it was clearly not him.
Along with the footsteps, the familiar voices of a middle-aged man and woman drifted in.
"Is it this room?" The woman’s voice was anxious and hurried.
"Yes, it should be."
The door to the ward opened, and Xia Tingxuan and Ye Yongning walked in, immediately spotting the dazed-looking Jiayi on the bed.
"Mommy, why are you here?"
"I heard about you fainting on the set from the director, who contacted your Uncle Ye. He immediately told me, and seeing my concern, he picked me up from Green Island Garden to come see you together... What’s happened to you? Where do you feel unwell?"
Jiayi forced a smile, "It’s just a fever, I’m fine."
Xia Tingxuan’s expression turned noticeably graver, shooting a glance at Ade who was standing beside the bed. She then took Jiayi’s hand, "You’ve hardly ever been sick since you were a child. How come you got sick right after getting married?"
Jiayi could only say, "A few nights ago, I accidentally got caught in the rain on the way back from the store. But I’m really fine now; the fever has gone."
Xia Tingxuan, having been through it herself, knew all too well.
If it had been the Huo Zhenyang of the past, he would have treated his daughter like a porcelain doll, afraid of her getting hurt in any way. How could he have allowed her to suffer even the slightest injury?
He certainly wouldn’t have stood by and watched her get a fever and still let her act wilfully, running off to a film set to meet with clients, even if it meant tying her up, he would have kept his daughter confined at home.
Now that his daughter was in the hospital, he was nowhere to be seen? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
That was not normal.
With this thought, Xia Tingxuan’s face darkened and she lowered her voice, "Tell mom, did you have a fight with him?"
Jiayi didn’t want her mother to worry, so she evaded, "Mommy, no, you’re overthinking it."
Her own daughter’s evasive expression did not escape Xia Tingxuan, whose frown deepened even more: "I agreed to let you marry him because I saw he would not mistreat you. I sent you to the Huo Family to be pampered by him, not to be bullied by him! Tell mom, did he bully you? If you don’t tell me, I’ll go and ask him directly."
Jiayi pulled her mother back and gave a bitter smile for no reason. This time it wasn’t him who bullied her; maybe she was the instigator...
"Mommy, he didn’t bully me."
Xia Tingxuan saw the fleeting guilty look in her daughter’s eyes. Her face paused slightly, and much of her anger faded. Could it be her daughter’s fault that they had fought?
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, and considering there were people around, Xia Tingxuan chose not to press further. She patted her daughter’s forehead, and finding it cool and comfortable, she became somewhat relieved.
Ye Yongning had not disturbed the conversation between mother and daughter just now and had quietly been cutting the fruit he brought. After they finished talking, he brought over the fruit plate, "Feeling better now?"
"Much better, I’m sorry to trouble you, Uncle Ye, for leaving your work to bring my mom to the hospital." Jiayi had worked in Ye Yongning’s crew before and was aware of how busy he always was. Seeing him leave his work especially to accompany her mother, she smiled gratefully and sweetly apologized.
Ye Yongning smiled, "Why be polite, silly child. To me, you’re like my own daughter—"
Before he could finish his sentence, the door of the ward, left ajar, was forcefully pushed open.
Someone came in with a gust of cold air, sneering: "Who’s your daughter? If you don’t have a daughter, don’t randomly claim someone else’s. Aren’t you ashamed?"
He wanted to chase after his wife and steal his daughter too? This Ye Yongning, with his shameless face, was truly thick-skinned!
He appeared to be cultured and refined, but inside, he was quite sinister!
The newcomer’s face was purple with rage.
Jiayi suddenly felt a headache coming on; daddy had arrived.
Everyone in the ward watched as Chu Yanhan, bristling with fury, barged into the room, followed by the Chu Family’s butler, carrying two baskets of colorful fruit. It seemed he had just heard that Jiayi was ill and had come to visit his daughter.
"What madness is this? Please leave. This is a ward." Xia Tingxuan was annoyed. How could this man become more childish as he grew older, utterly unreasonable?
Chu Yanhan saw Xia Tingxuan’s thoughts and his sneer deepened.
Telling him he was unreasonable? His wife was his, his daughter was hers; he was the one with the right on his side. Why should he be reasonable?
"Leave? Can’t I come to visit my own biological daughter? All of Yunling knows that Jiayi is the daughter of the Chu Family. There is no law in China that says a father can’t visit his daughter in the hospital."
Chu Yanhan gestured for the butler to place the fruit baskets on the cabinet of the ward, indicating he wasn’t planning on leaving soon.
Xia Tingxuan was fuming. Jiayi’s assumed identity as Chu Yanhan’s daughter in the Chu Family had been announced publicly in the newspaper solely to ensure she matched up to the Huo Family, so the Huo Family’s servants wouldn’t gossip about Jiayi being an obscure, fatherless orphan.
If it were not for her daughter, she would never have been willing to let her claim her ancestry publicly.
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the ward, Ye Yongning tried to smooth things over: "Tingxuan, Jiayi is still sick, let it be."
