"Even if I was angry with you, it's been almost half a year. The anger should have dissipated by now."
Shu Yan shook her head and said, "It's not a matter of being angry or not. My mother worked hard in the Shu family for many years. Now that I've had a child like this, it might cause her to lose everything. Until she figures out how to arrange for me and the child, she won't come to see me."
"But you are her biological daughter. Is there anything more important than you?" Xiao Anjing asked.
Shu Yan smiled, "When a person is obsessed with pursuing fame and fortune, what does family affection matter? I've seen a lot of that in that family."
Xiao Anjing could only comfort her, "Auntie is your mother after all. She won't abandon you. Don't overthink it. She'll come to help you when she comes to her senses."
"Okay, I know. You go and attend to your business."
Xiao Anjing nodded and said, "I'll boil you a few eggs before I leave."
"Thank you." Shu Yan smiled at him slightly, watching his back as he went to the kitchen. She thought that this was the only man she could hold onto now.
Whether she loved him or not was no longer important. It was also unimportant that she despised Xiao Anjing in her heart. As long as this man could be at her beck and call, his usefulness was enough.
After careful consideration, she had made up her mind to bid farewell to her foolish past self and find a way to get back the humiliation she suffered from Qin Tianyi and Gu Susu.
...
For the past two days, people had been visiting Qin Tianyi incessantly. Susu stayed in the ward, greeting guests and seeing them off. Fortunately, Xiao Anjing helped to fend off some people, so Qin Tianyi was not too disturbed.
This morning, the doctor came to check on him and said that Qin Tianyi's condition was recovering well. However, he had a previous injury to his waist, and now he had multiple fractures. He must take good care of his body in the future, as there was a fear of some injuries recurring.
She saw the doctor out after the rounds and returned to the ward. Her mood was a little low, but she smiled at Tianyi and said, "Did you hear that? The doctor said you have a strong recovery ability and will get better soon."
Qin Tianyi stroked her head and said, "I'm fine. Don't stay in the hospital all the time. Go back to the seaside villa to rest. You look so haggard."
"No, I'm not at ease leaving you alone in the hospital." Susu held his hand tightly.
"With Xiao Anjing and the nurses, I'm not that delicate. If I get better and your health deteriorates, what then?" Qin Tianyi said with a smile, "Then I'll be taking care of you. I don't want to stay in the hospital long-term; it's unlucky."
"I know my own body. I have it under control." Susu looked at him and said, "After you get better, I want to go to Paris..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt unwell all over and couldn't help but grip Qin Tianyi's hand tightly, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Qin Tianyi sensed something was wrong with her and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Are you too tired? Go and rest quickly."
Susu not only felt unwell, but her body also began to feel as if countless insects were crawling on it. This had happened once before in that manor.
At that time, she thought that the manor had a lot of grass and trees, and therefore many insects, and she must have been bitten by some insect.
But now, in the hospital ward, why was she still feeling an unbearable itch all over? This VIP ward was very clean and tidy. She had stayed for a few days and hadn't seen a single insect.
Susu scratched her neck forcefully. The itching on her body intensified, as if a hundred claws were scratching her heart.
Qin Tianyi propped himself up against the bed and slowly sat up. Seeing that she had already scratched her neck until it was bloody, he felt that something was wrong and asked, "Susu, what's wrong with you? Stop scratching!"
Susu could no longer control herself. The pain and itching spread throughout her body. She began to scratch other parts of her body through her clothes, her voice trembling as she said, "I, I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel so uncomfortable... so uncomfortable..."
Just then, Xiao Anjing entered the ward from outside. He had intended to ask Susu to return to the seaside villa to rest for a day.
But he saw Susu sitting by Tianyi's hospital bed, trembling uncontrollably.
"Quick, go and call the doctor. She needs a doctor!" Qin Tianyi shouted at Xiao Anjing.
Xiao Anjing immediately went to call the doctor. Qin Tianyi, disregarding his injuries, tried his best to restrain her hands, preventing her from hurting herself.
She had already scratched her face, and now there were several red marks on one cheek.
"Let go of me!" Susu struggled to break free from him as if she were going mad. "I, I'm so itchy all over... It's not on my body, it's like insects are drilling inside my bones, it itches, it itches so much!"
Qin Tianyi held her hands tightly and said, "There are no insects. How can there be insects in your bones? Susu, don't scare me. What's wrong?"
At this moment, someone pushed open the ward door and walked in. Qin Tianyi thought it was the doctor, but he saw that the person who entered was Su Kangxi.
Su Kangxi was holding flowers in his hand, but he saw Qin Tianyi anxiously holding Susu's hands, and Susu looking like she was desperately trying to break free from Qin Tianyi.
He immediately put down the flowers and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Susu?"
"I don't know. She suddenly went mad and kept scratching her neck and face. Xiao Anjing went to call the doctor. I can't let her hurt herself." Qin Tianyi felt the strain on his injuries again.
Su Kangxi had come today to ask Susu some questions, but he didn't expect to see her like this. He had a bad premonition.
"Mr. Qin, leave Sister Susu to me. Take care of your own injuries." Saying this, Su Kangxi quickly helped him, trying to stop Sister Susu from struggling wildly.
Qin Tianyi realized something and asked, "Do you know what's wrong with her?"
Just as Su Kangxi was about to answer him, Xiao Anjing arrived at the ward with the doctor.
At this time, Su Kangxi held Susu while the doctor conducted a brief examination. They could not make an accurate diagnosis, saying, "I'll give her a sedative first. Further examination is needed. Judging by her symptoms, she should be transferred to the neuropsychiatry department immediately."
After speaking, the doctor injected Susu with a sedative. She was less agitated but still looked in pain.
At this moment, two nurses pushed a stretcher bed over and had Susu lie on it. They used the restraints on the side to tie her hands and body, so she wouldn't hurt herself anymore.
Qin Tianyi wanted to get out of bed and accompany Susu for the examination to find out what was wrong with her.
The doctor advised, "Mr. Qin, your injuries are not healed. You must not strain your fractured bones again!"
Xiao Anjing also quickly stopped him and advised, "Tianyi, listen to the doctor. We'll take care of the young madam. We'll notify you immediately if anything happens."
Su Kangxi also agreed, "Mr. Qin, you can't let your injuries worsen. Even if Susu is fine, she still needs to worry about you and take care of you."
After speaking, he followed the medical staff and pushed the stretcher bed away. Xiao Anjing supported Qin Tianyi and comforted him, "This is a hospital, and with Su Kangxi accompanying the young madam, nothing will happen."
Qin Tianyi did not force himself off the hospital bed anymore. They were all right. He also wanted to recover completely as soon as possible.
That way, he could protect Susu and take care of her, instead of her taking care of him with her exhausted body.
