Chapter 248: Wandering Around
The young nurse looked at the wheelchair and nodded. “That’s fine. You can wheel yourself around the corridor or the lounge on this floor. It’s not good to lie down all the time. However, if you want to go down to the garden, you’ll need your family to accompany you…”
Ye Xin nodded. “Thank you.”
The young nurse smiled and said, “There’s no need to thank me. You’re really beautiful. You’re almost as beautiful as Dr. Song Ning.”
Ye Xin felt as though her heart had been p.r.i.c.ked. She asked in a trembling voice, “W-who are you talking about?”
“Dr. Song Ning,” the young nurse said she pushed the wheelchair over to the bed, “Dr. Song Ning visits her grandmother every day on this floor as well. When I first saw you, I was reminded of her…”
Ye Xin tried her best to control her feelings as she let the young nurse help her into the wheelchair. Then, she feigned ignorance and asked, “Is Dr. Song Ning okay?
The young nurse nodded. “Yes. She’s even more beautiful now that she’s pregnant. I heard that women are more beautiful when they’re pregnant with daughters. Everyone’s sure she’s pregnant with a daughter. I heard that her husband and her grandmother also wish for her to give birth to a daughter. They’re such a harmonious and happy family…”
At this moment, the bell on the young nurse’s body suddenly chimed. She hurriedly said, “I’m sorry. I have to go. Remember not to wander too far away…”
After that, Ye Xin slowly wheeled herself out of the room.
The VIP floor was rather empty. There were not many patients and visitors, and the nurses were busy as well. Hence, no one paid attention to Ye Xin.
Ye Xin wandered around aimlessly.
After a while, a group of nurses walked past Ye Xin, and she overheard their conversation.
“Today, Dr. Song Ning brought delicious food for Old Madam Mu again. She even brought some for us. I really hope Old Madam Mu can stay here longer even though I wish for her good health!”
“Actually, Old Madam Mu is fine. Dr. Song Ning can easily look after her at home. However, Old Madam Mu wants to spend more time with Dr. Song Ning since she works here so Old Madam Mu insisted on staying longer in the hospital. She’ll probably be discharged in two days.”
‘So that old lady is here as well…’
As though she had made up her mind, she wheeled herself along the rooms, looking for Song Ning. She wanted to see Song Ning, the person who caused her to fall into such a state. She was gripping the wheelchair so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.
She closed her eyes. Whenever she thought of those things that had ruined her reputation, she wished she could tear Song Ning into pieces.
Song Ning was her nemesis. If she did not get rid of Song Ning, she would never have peace.
Ye Xin moved slowly. Her long hair covered half her face so no one really paid attention to her.
When she saw a room with the door opened, she hesitated for a moment before she quietly stopped outside. She peeked inside and saw two cleaners changing the sheets and cleaning. She was about to leave when she heard them speaking.
“Mr. Ning is really lucky. He was so seriously injured that he was comatose, but he managed to wake up in the end. He even seemed to be in good health before he left the hospital. He seems eager to leave.”
“That’s right. Well, no matter how great the VIP rooms are, how can they compare to one’s own home?”
‘Mr. Ning? Which Mr. Ning? The Ning family in Cloudy Peak?’ Ye Xin’s heart skipped a beat. She could not help but to stop and listen.
“I think Mr. Ning probably heard the rumors in the hospital and couldn’t take it anymore so he left in a hurry. Look at the old lady of the Mu family. She doesn’t have any serious symptoms, and she’s living so well?”
“Old Madam Mu is really lucky. Both her grandson and her granddaughter-in-law are so filial. Both of them try so hard to cheer their grandmother up. In comparison, I don’t think Old Madam Mu likes her daughter-in-law very much. It’s fine if you don’t compare, once you make comparisons, you can really see the difference…”
“That’s true. Dr. Song Ning is kind and also a skilled doctor. Is there anyone who dislikes her? I heard Old Madam Mu’s daughter-in-law was the third party; she’s a mistress. You really can’t tell based on how high and mighty she acts all the time. Up until now, Old Madam Mu refuses to acknowledge her.”
