Chapter 269: Chapter 199: Malice

Fang Wenqing and Director Xiao, who is in charge of the emergency department, rushed over.

After all, losing such a valuable item was the responsibility of the emergency department, and even the hospital president knew about it and reprimanded Director Xiao for negligence.

Moreover, everyone knew of Fu Tingzhou’s prestigious status; no one dared to offend him.

They checked around and questioned each medical staff member who had handled the situation.

Tang Xi, who was on night duty that day and had briefly encountered patient in bed 28, naturally underwent questioning as well.

In the office, Tang Xi looked at Director Xiao in front of her, "I was on night duty that evening. As usual, I checked on the patients. I went to bed 28 once, glanced over, but by that time his suit was already off because he changed into clean hospital clothes after cutting off his suit due to the injury. I didn’t see the White Jade Pendant he lost."

Director Xiao nodded, "Alright."

He looked at Tang Xi’s pale complexion and comforted her, "Don’t be nervous, I’m just following procedures by asking everyone who had contact with bed 28. It’s indeed our emergency department’s fault that such an important item was lost, my fault indeed. I just hope Mr. Fu doesn’t blame us."

Fang Wenqing added, "At that time, it was Nurse Qi and Sisi who changed his clothes. They checked his pockets immediately, took out the belongings, including a mobile phone, and placed them in a sealed bag on the side. We overlooked an inner pocket... it’s also my fault. If there are any penalties from higher up, I’m responsible as well."

Director Xiao sighed, "This Mr. Fu is no ordinary person, and the lost item is probably very valuable. This indeed gives us a headache..."

Outside, the sound of the emergency bell rang.

It seemed that a critically ill patient was being admitted, and Director Xiao waved his hand, "The priority now is to go out and save the patient!"

-

That evening, Tang Xi returned home.

She meticulously sorted out all the items from the suitcase she had packed, ready to flee at any moment.

It seemed it wasn’t needed anymore.

Fu Tingzhou had forgotten about her.

She originally thought...

The woman gave a bitter smile, eyes shimmering with faint starlight; well, let it be forgotten.

If she too could forget, that would be nice.

Fortunately, her tranquil life remained undisturbed.

Her emergency department shifts had been unstable these days, so Su Wenhe had been staying at her apartment. In their two-bedroom apartment, Su Wenhe was consistently sleeping with Tangtang, and Tangtang had grown accustomed to Su Wenhe’s care.

Tang Xi sincerely thanked Su Wenhe from the bottom of her heart.

She took out the cash she retrieved today from her bag, "Auntie Su, this is for you, please take it."

"I’ve said before, I don’t need this." Su Wenhe repeatedly declined, but couldn’t resist Tang Xi and eventually accepted it.

"You are so stubborn. I should be the one thanking you, I really like Tangtang, and taking care of little Tangtang makes me happy," Su Wenhe commented. A local, she used to be a teacher. Her husband passed away early, leaving her with just one son who went abroad for studies.

She was a bit lonely and genuinely liked Tangtang.

She even treated Tangtang like her own granddaughter, often buying new clothes for Tangtang behind Tang Xi’s back.

"Auntie Su, you deserve this, and should I get a raise in the future, I’ll increase your ’salary’ as well," Tang Xi was truly grateful to Su Wenhe.

In North Island, her heart had been warmed a lot.

She had met many kind-hearted people.

Su Wenhe noticed Tang Xi taking clothes out of the suitcase, puzzled, "What are you doing? Planning a trip or moving out?"

Tang Xi shook her head and tried to sound casual.

"No, not going out."

"Did you... encounter something?" Su Wenhe gently patted Tang Xi’s shoulder, "These past few days, you seem weighed down by worries. I’ve noticed this suitcase; you’ve been packing for days, I thought you’re planning a trip to relax."

Tang Xi never shared her personal matters with anyone.

Her gaze slowly lifted, focusing to the side.

"Auntie Su, I’m scared..."

Su Wenhe handed her a cup of warm water and sat close, "There’s something I can help with." She patted Tang Xi’s shoulder, hoping to give her some strength.

Tang Xi lowered her head, as if unable to hold back the tense emotions anymore, her voice hoarse, pupils trembling, "Auntie Su, that man has come... I’m scared he will find out about me, find out about Tangtang, I’m scared he will take Tangtang away."

Su Wenhe then realized, the person Tang Xi was referring to must be Tangtang’s biological father.
