Qiu Mingyan had been sleeping in a daze for more than two days.

The residual effects of the pesticide blurred his vision, and although he occasionally woke up, he often found himself in a trance.

In the dream.

It was all news about Yu Yu seemingly getting married.

She was wearing a white dress, stepping into the wedding, moving further and further away from him. He desperately chased after her, blocking her path at all costs.

"Yu Yu, don’t marry someone else, I’ve come to find you, I’m here."

Unfortunately, Yu Yu coldly pushed him away, not even caring about his tear-streaked face of agony, and simply said lightly, "You can leave, I’ve long lost hope in you, I’m also going to marry someone else."

He couldn’t believe it, he rushed forward and held her tightly, "Impossible! I’m the one you love, I know it, I love you too, besides, we have a child."

Unexpectedly, Yu Yu laughed recklessly and mercilessly pushed him away, she said: "Child? Qiu Mingyan! Stop dreaming! You can’t even handle Mai Manxiang, you don’t even dare to kneel in front of Mai Shilong and tell them to die, yet you want me and the child, why should I keep it? My child was already aborted, gone, did you know that?! Qiu Mingyan! It’s precisely because of my disappointment in you that our child is gone!"

In an instant, a cold sweat accompanied by the feeling of weightlessness in the darkness hit him, his body tilted, as if something fell back into his body.

Qiu Mingyan sat up in horror.

Sitting up, he realized he was already in the familiar ward, where white and verdant green latex paint complemented each other.

In his hand, the needle was still inserted, with several bottles of medicine hung. His back was drenched in cold sweat, and his heart palpitated violently.

After a moment, he lay back on the hospital bed, panting heavily for a long time before he slowly remembered that two days ago he had indeed left Sichuan, left the Chen Family Village, and the car should have returned to Rong City under Vice Director Guo’s arrangement.

When the caregivers and a group of head nurses and doctors from the orthopedic department who heard the news came to transfer him from the stretcher to the hospital bed, he had faintly woken up amidst the concerns of the crowd, but was too exhausted later, so he’d fallen back into a daze.

At this moment, looking around at the advanced equipment, first-class hygiene, and clean walls, this place should be where he had struggled for countless days and nights—the Southern Fourth Hospital...

There’s no way to describe how relieved he felt right now.

In short, knowing it was all a nightmare, Yu Yu hadn’t truly gotten married, and his child might also... He had indeed left that hellish hometown, his shoulders completely relaxed.

Qiu Mingyan lay for a while, and when the IV drip finished, he didn’t call the nurse, but pulled out the drip himself.

Getting out of bed, perhaps after lying for so many days, every step felt comfortably exhausting.

He didn’t call anyone; he just wanted to walk more, so he strolled around himself.

When he’d strolled enough around the ward, wanting to go further, he moved outside.

However, as soon as he moved, he heard the conversation of two young nurses in the corridor.

Outside the door, seemingly afraid he might hear something, the two young nurses spoke in hushed tones.

"Hey, did you know, the fourth miss of the Feng Family, who used to be in our hospital’s orthopedic department and was the beauty among the doctors, is getting married! And it’s a shotgun wedding!"

"What? No way right? Do you know who’s been lying on the hospital bed these past two days? That’s Doctor Qiu from orthopedics, I heard they used to date..."

"Yeah, why else would the hospital leaders insist on keeping it a secret? I reckon Doctor Qiu’s suicide was because of this matter." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Hmm, I guess so too. Poor guy, a professor from a humble background, falling for a rich heiress..."

Inside the door, Qiu Mingyan couldn’t hear what was said after that.

He could only see the air, his fingertips pale as they clenched the door frame, his handsome face turning ashen and trembling, his lower lip bitten until it bled...
