Chapter 297
Someone nudged Chang Danran, and she looked up: “What?”
“The patient in bed 19, isn’t his daughter named Ye Xingguang? I’ve seen her once in the nephrology department and she looks a bit like the girl in the photos. She’s the same girl from the wildfire incident, right? The Koi Girl?”
“What wildfire? Koi Girl?”
Chang Danran didn’t use Weibo or pay much attention to such gossip. Her shift work kept her so busy that she barely managed. When she returned home each day, she took care of her son, barely having the energy to sleep.
“You don’t know about this? Do you actually live in the city or someplace deep in the mountains without wifi? I heard that several nephrology experts from the capital have been invited by the dean for a meal. She’s truly favored. Why couldn’t my local match be this good? My husband is a workaholic who lacks any romantic charm. He was working even on Qixi Night. Unlike that Miss Ye’s partner, who was flaunting their happiness on Weibo on Qixi night and is now the number one trending topic.”
“Well, as they say, some people just have it better than others. That patient in bed 19 had already received a critical condition notice before. The experts all said there was no hope. However, I saw her super-rich partner comforting her in the corridor. It was late at night and I happened to be working the graveyard shift. Everyone could see how deep his love for her was.”
Hearing her colleagues’ discussions, Chang Danran lost her appetite even more.
As anyone would, she assumed the patient’s billionaire partner mentioned by her colleagues was Xia Ye Zhao.
“You guys continue. I’m full.” Chang Danran didn’t want to hear any more.
“You just ate a few bites. Are you full already? Are you on a diet? Does Doctor Bo think you’re too fat?”
Chang Danran smiled: “My son thinks I’m too fat.”
With that, she left.
After leaving the hospital cafeteria, she walked aimlessly in the rain, holding an umbrella, thinking only of her sweet memories with Xia Ye Zhao.
She didn’t think that after five years, all she could remember were the good times. The clearer her memories, the more her heart ached.
…
At that moment,
Ye Xingguang suddenly arrived. She borrowed a pair of rain boots from the nurses’ station and ran into Xia Ye Zhao as soon as she got downstairs.
Xia Ye Zhao furrowed his brows, “Where are you going in such heavy rain?”
“I’m going to the store outside to buy something.” Ye Xingguang was about to walk into the rain holding her umbrella.
Xia Ye Zhao stopped her: “What do you need to buy? I can get it for you. Just bring the food upstairs.”
Buying other things was fine, but for this particular item, Ye Xingguang couldn’t ask him. She insisted on buying it herself.
Xia Ye Zhao couldn’t persuade her, so he bent down in front of her: “Get on, I’ll give you a piggyback ride.”
“That’s not necessary.” She wasn’t sure how to handle her brother’s enthusiasm.
But Xia Ye Zhao didn’t give her a chance to refuse. He grabbed her arm and hoisted her onto his back.
“Really, there’s no need. I can manage. And, I’m not Xia Qiongqiong.”
“I have my own judgment on that. Otherwise, I’ll remove your shoes now and drop you in the rain to prove it.”noveldrama
Ye Xingguang was instantly scared.
What if her brother, to verify her identity, really threw her into the water…
As she lay on Xia Ye Zhao’s back, Ye Xingguang stopped struggling.
Once Xia Ye Zhao felt her settled down, he reassured her: “I won’t toss you into the rain.”
He knew how much his sister hated having people see her tail because it didn’t look good. He understood girls liked to look pretty and didn’t want to actually scare her.
