Chapter 61 -61 Care in the Hospital

Ningning, her mind filled with concern over her mommy running a fever, gave him a sharp roll of her eyes, her disdain obviously apparent.

“What’s wrong, did I say something incorrect?” Li Lingyang’s deep eyes narrowed slightly.

This child seemed unusually bold and was never afraid of him.

Very few children were truly unafraid of him.

Even his own son, Chengcheng, would feel intimidated when met with his cold gaze.

Ningning tilted her head and put her hands on her hips, “My mommy would never engage in such tasteless acts like badmouthing others behind their backs! I hate you because…”

...

“Because of what?” Li Lingyang actually seemed a bit intrigued.

Ningning almost blurted out that it was because her brother had investigated him, but she caught herself in time and changed tack, “Because you are too ugly! Plus, you don’t distinguish right from wrong, and you like those sly fox spirits, oh, and you also favor boys over girls, and don’t care about Doudou at all…”

Li Lingyang’s thin lips pressed tightly together, and he scoffed coldly.

He ugly? He favored boys over girls?

It was madness to engage in such nonsensical talk with a child!

“Cold, so cold…” Ning Yichu, shivering in her delirium, trembled.

Her mind was flooded with bizarre visions.

Her memories seemed jumbled, replaying painful events like a movie…

She saw herself being abandoned by Li Lingyang, saw a fire devouring her two children, saw Shen Jiangqing’s smug face.

“Mommy, it’s not cold, let Ningning warm you up…” Ningning, flustered, clasped Ning Yichu’s hands and blew warm air on them, but her tiny arms and legs couldn’t possibly warm Ning Yichu up.

Li Lingyang looked deeply at the mother and daughter, took off his coat, and draped it over Ning Yichu, then instructed the driver, “Turn up the heat a bit more!”

In the private hospital, when Ning Yichu regained her sensory awareness, it was already 5:30 in the morning.

She opened her eyes, sniffed the faint scent of disinfectant, and realized she was lying on a hospital bed.

Who brought her here?

Her mind flashed back to the scene before she passed out, arguing with Li Lingyang.

Wait, where was Ningning?

Ning Yichu suddenly widened her eyes in alarm.

“Awake?” A husky, magnetic male voice suddenly sounded by her ear.

Ning Yichu turned her head and saw the tall man, flouting hospital rules, smoking near the balcony.

The white smoke curled around, blurring his handsome face.

Li Lingyang darkly turned his head to gaze at her pale face, his ears echoing with the doctor’s words during her examination, “Lady Ning’s physical condition isn’t good, all her indicators are below standard, besides having a high fever, she also has slight hypoglycemia, anemia, and… malnutrition!”

Li Lingyang clenched his fists; he had always known her health wasn’t good but had never imagined it to be this bad.

In this day and age, she was a renowned Jade Sculptor in Europe, yet she had malnutrition?

She must have had a tough time in Europe over the past five years.

Indeed, as a single mother without a man around, life couldn’t have been easy.

But the thought that she ruined her health bearing that other man’s child filled him with rage.

“Ning Yichu, have you lost your mind? Why didn’t you accept the divorce compensation I gave you five years ago? And why didn’t you say you were feeling unwell earlier tonight? Did you have to act tough in front of me?”

Initially grateful that he hadn’t entirely lost his humanity in taking her to the hospital, Ning Yichu was rendered speechless by his scolding. Had he eaten gunpowder or what?

“If a certain person hadn’t come to pick a fight with me in the middle of the night, I might have already taken my medicine and been asleep, not ending up here in the hospital in such a miserable state.”

Li Lingyang almost burst into laughter out of anger. She had another man’s child; shouldn’t she give him an explanation?

Moreover, he hadn’t even done anything to her yet.

Ning Yichu struggled, groping around as if looking for something.

Seeing her intention, Li Lingyang asked impatiently, “Looking for what?”

“My phone.” Ning Yichu was straightforward. “I came straight to the hospital. Ningning will definitely be worried when she doesn’t see me tomorrow morning.”

Li Lingyang retorted mockingly, “Whose fault is it that you had her in secret?”

Ning Yichu couldn’t find her phone after a long search; she vaguely remembered leaving it on the living room coffee table when she got home, most likely not having brought it.

She was tired now and didn’t want to argue with Li Lingyang, so she softened her voice, “I didn’t bring my phone. Can I borrow yours?”

“There’s no need,” Li Lingyang said sternly.

Ning Yichu thought he was indirectly expressing his dislike seeing her care for Ningning, and a rush of anger welled up within her.

Why was he being so hypocritical?

She was in this situation all because she was trying to save his daughter, and now he wouldn’t even lend her a phone!

Li Lingyang, facing her anger and grievances, strangely found some balance and comfort, feeling as if he was no longer the only one sulking.

Just as Ning Yichu was about to ask a nurse for a phone out of frustration, Li Lingyang slowly said, “Don’t bother, your daughter was so worried she had to come to the hospital with you.”

“What? Ningning is here in the hospital too?” Ning Yichu was shocked and couldn’t sit still, looking around. This was a VIP ward with a small bed adjacent, but Ningning wasn’t there.

Li Lingyang spoke indifferently, “You kept deliriously talking since you had a fever, so I had the nurse take her to rest in the next room.”

Ningning, after all, was only a four-year-old little girl, how could she stay up all night?

She had initially forcibly kept her eyes open to stay awake, but like a pecking chick, she was lulled into a deep, sweet sleep by the nurse.

Realizing she had misunderstood him, Ning Yichu took the initiative to apologize, “Thank you for today.”

Li Lingyang scoffed lightly, “Hearing a ‘thank you’ from you is really not easy.”

Ning Yichu, “…” She often thanked others, okay?

Li Lingyang looked at her pale face and then asked, “Would you like to eat something?”

Initially, Ning Yichu didn’t feel very hungry, but his question suddenly made her slightly hungry. To be precise, it wasn’t extreme hunger but just an empty feeling in her stomach that made her uncomfortable from the IV and medication. She initially planned to endure it, “Never mind, it will be dawn soon…”

Li Lingyang suddenly glared at her sharply, “Don’t you know what condition your body is in? If you can’t talk sense, then shut up.”

“Hey! Don’t make personal attacks…”

“You just lie down here; I’ll go and get you something,” Li Lingyang said irritably, dropping a remark and striding away after giving instructions to the nurse. God knows if she had always been settling for less during these five years.

Seeing that Little Bud, Ningning, had also been previously hospitalized, could it be that both mother and daughter were always in need of medication?

Ning Yichu watched his retreating figure, momentarily lost in thought.

Was he showing concern for her on his own initiative?
