Lan Chu raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.
Although she was unconscious before she fell into coma last night and didn't know exactly what happened, she clearly smelled a familiar light fragrance, and that embrace was also familiar to him...
She just looked at Bai Jingchen, her clear eyes seemed to see through him, "Thank you."
Lan Chu lowered his eyes and sipped water while avoiding his gaze.
Last night, Bai Jingchen should have been the one who sent her to the hospital. Judging from his appearance, he must have stayed with her in bed all night.
Bai Jingchen didn't know what to say for a moment.
They divorced more than a year ago and have not seen each other since. Now they feel a bit strange, especially Lan Chu's confusing attitude, which makes him at a loss.
After drinking the water, Lan Chu wanted to put down the water glass.
Bai Jingchen immediately took the water glass and helped her put it on the bedside table next to her, "Are you... feeling better?"
"Yes." Lan Chu pursed his lips and responded softly.
She retracted her hands into the quilt, playing with her fingers uneasily, hiding her small movements under the quilt.
The little girl secretly raised her eyelids and glanced at the man, "Um... don't you need to go to work?"
"No need." Bai Jingchen's voice was deep and clear.
He finally seized the opportunity to stay with Lan Chu openly. Besides, she was sick, so even if the company urgently needed him, he would choose to let her go.
Lan Chu's lips slightly opened into an O, and she responded softly without saying anything else.
Bai Jingchen stood up and helped her remove the pillow behind her, "Sleep a little longer, you are still very weak now."
Lan Chu was helped back into bed by the man.
She shrank her head into the quilt, half-covering her little head with the quilt, her eyes lowered and her brows furrowed.
It’s so embarrassing… It’s so embarrassing…
It was so embarrassing to face my ex-husband!
What should she do? Isn't it too heartless to drive him away? After all, he saved her last night, but it was embarrassing for her to stay here.
Just when Lan Chu buried his head in the quilt.
Bai Jingchen stretched out her hand to lift her quilt, and her little head was instantly exposed. The tangled expressions on her soft face were clearly visible. She looked up at the man blankly...
I was about to pull back the quilt and pretend that nothing happened!
But Bai Jingchen stopped her and frowned, "Why are you still sleeping with your head covered as before? It's not good to breathe like this. Besides, you are sick. Be obedient."
His voice inadvertently revealed helplessness and indulgence.
When he just said these words, his hand holding the quilt paused, and then he pursed his lips.
"I mean… "
"I just don't cover up." Lan Chu muttered softly.
She originally just wanted to answer Bai Jingchen's words, but she unconsciously interrupted him before he finished speaking. The two people's words came together again, which made her so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself.
Bai Jingchen's eyes were calm and calm.
He narrowed his eyes and helped her tuck the quilt, "Just sleep a little longer, I'll be here with you."
Lan Chu kicked off the quilt, "..."
But since she is petite and has little strength, this action looks like coquettishness.
I can't sleep because you're here with me!
Can you go? You! I hate it so much!
Lan Chu simply pretended to be asleep and closed his eyes, but in fact, he was disturbed by Bai Jingchen and was not sleepy at all.
At this moment, Qinglan came to her ward.
After getting the biopsy results, she wanted to take a look at the little girl's condition, but she met Bai Jingchen here.
She raised her eyebrows without any trace, "Mr. Bai."
Hearing the sound, Lan Chu secretly opened one eye and looked over. When she saw Qinglan, she came over. She felt inexplicably guilty. She only took a sneak peek and closed her eyes again.
But Shi Qinglan had already noticed her little movements.
Bai Jingchen stood up immediately. The man was wearing a thin white shirt. Since he had not changed clothes when he was in bed last night, there were some wrinkles on the sleeves and neckline, but it still did not affect his aura.
But what a man with more aura...
At this moment, it was as if someone had been caught. She looked a bit weak and helpless in front of Shi Qinglan, "Miss Shi."
"I am Qingli's attending doctor."
Shi Qinglan's red lips parted slightly, and she glanced at Bai Jingchen lightly, obviously not wanting to get close to him.
Behind her were several young interns, and a teaching doctor assigned to the interns. She raised her chin slightly and said, "Ward rounds."
The interns immediately gathered around Lan Chu.
Following the normal ward round process, Bai Jingchen stood aside and observed silently.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, "Doctor Shi, she..."
"I will tell her family about the patient's condition. If Mr. Bai has nothing else to do, please come back."
Shi Qinglan's voice was cold, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with Bai Jingchen's presence here. She walked to Lan Chu's bedside and calmed down her attitude a little, "Do you still feel uncomfortable in any way?"
"No." Lan Chu shook his head obediently.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Jingchen, as if she was avoiding something, but seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, she lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Qingqing, I..."
"Don't worry." Shi Qinglan rubbed her head.
Her red lips curved slightly, "I've checked and it's fine, but I can't drink anymore under any circumstances."
Although Shi Qinglan had clearly issued an expulsion order, Bai Jingchen still stayed there. Seeing her saying that Lan Chu's body was fine, his heart slowly dropped...
The panic that had filled my heart all night gradually dissipated - she was fine, just fine.
"What happened last night?" Shi Qinglan asked.
So Lan Chu told her everything about how Master Ji forced her to drink. However, due to Bai Jingchen's presence, she did not tell her what Master Ji was threatening her with.
Bai Jingchen had ordered someone to check last night.
After learning that it was someone from the Ji family who bullied Lan Chu, he immediately sent someone to deal with the matter. This person is probably squatting in the police station now, and the Ji family will soon declare bankruptcy...
But he didn't tell Lan Chu this.
"Xiao Qingqing." Lan Chu gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, "It was Jing... was it Bai Jingchen who sent me here last night?"
She still couldn't change the name she was used to.
Shi Qinglan responded in a low voice, "Yes."
"Oh." Lan Chu nodded gently, then secretly raised his eyelids to take a look at Bai Jingchen.
If she was determined to divorce him when she first returned to China, it was after experiencing stomach cancer that she became more independent and her heart became firmer...
But now that they have been divorced for a year, when I see him again after years of accumulation, I already feel like I have let go. That kind of subtle mood is hard to explain.
