Chapter 1505 - 1522: I’ll Wait for You at Home Tonight
However, after taking just two steps, her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
Just then, a car slowly pulled over by the roadside. Qin Yi stared wide-eyed at the person who had fallen by the road. He quickly opened the car door and rushed out.
"Madam! Madam, is it really you? What’s wrong? Are you alright?"
Lan Jinqin tried to open her eyes to glance at Qin Yi, but then she fainted.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in a hospital.
And now, she stared at the ceiling, seemingly unable to accept any of this.
It was as if everything was just a dream. If she could, she would rather have never met Officer Huang, never known about this matter.
Perhaps, that way, her heart might still hold some hope.
But now...
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
She closed her eyes in despair.
Meanwhile, outside the hospital ward.
Qin Yi was explaining the situation to Nangong Yaoling.
"What did the doctor say?" Nangong Yaoling asked.
"Madam underwent a full body checkup; everything seems normal. The doctor said maybe it was the sultry weather that caused her fainting, but the exact reason is still uncertain. The doctor also said..."
At this point, Qin Yi hesitated slightly.
"What did they say?" Nangong Yaoling asked with a frown.
"The doctor said it could also be that the patient was under some emotional stress or pressure that caused the fainting."
Nangong Yaoling’s pupils contracted slightly. He couldn’t help but glance at Xiaonuan.
Xiaonuan also couldn’t help but look at him.
In his eyes was a trace of worry, which made Xiaonuan’s heart sink slightly.
Nangong Yaoling looked at Qin Yi: "I understand. Call and have the kitchen make some chicken soup to send over. Don’t tell grandfather about this yet..."
"Yes, Young Master!"
After Qin Yi finished speaking, he hurriedly went to make a phone call.
Nangong Yaoling turned around to face Xiaonuan.
"Xiaonuan, let the driver take you home to rest. I’ll stay here with mom for a while." His voice was gentle. Xia Xiaonuan looked at his deep eyes, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowing her words.
She smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I’ll be waiting for you at home."
"Mm." Nangong Yaoling reached out and touched her head.
As Xia Xiaonuan turned to leave, the sweet smile on her face instantly scattered like cherry blossoms.
Although Nangong Yaoling hadn’t said certain things, she knew in her heart that he must have figured some things out.
But what he knows certainly isn’t everything.
That’s why he chooses silence, to bear it all alone.
He didn’t question her, nor doubted her.
However, she was aware that his heart wasn’t at ease either.
After all, one is his mother, and the other is his woman.
And now, seeing Lan Jinqin suddenly faint, Xia Xiaonuan also felt some guilt inside.
Was her reaction too intense that day, and therefore... caused today’s outcome?
If she could’ve held back a little, perhaps everything wouldn’t be so serious, and Nangong Yaoling wouldn’t be put in such a difficult position.
Her heart ached for him, not wanting to see him troubled.
Yet, he didn’t ask anything, obviously suspecting that this matter might be related to her, but didn’t mention it to her.
Thus, she also had no idea how to start the conversation.
It seems everything has begun. She felt as if some conspiracy was inching closer, little by little, forcing her into a corner.
But since it’s already here, she’ll muster the courage to face it all.
Perhaps, Nangong Jinlie was right.
