Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 563 - Chapter 563 Chapter 564 Who Would Shelter Her from the Wind

Chapter 563: Chapter 564: Who Would Shelter Her from the Wind and Rain Chapter 563: Chapter 564: Who Would Shelter Her from the Wind and Rain Bai Qinghuan sat by the side, not knowing why.

She felt that the child’s gaze upon her was one of looking down from a great height, which made her quite uncomfortable.

Thinking back to how the child had earlier refused even to speak to her, her face struggled to maintain its composure.

Looking at Xiao’ai on the hospital bed, surrounded by so many people who liked to take care of her, even Ji Dong, who was usually reserved with his emotions, could set aside his work to protect her so attentively here.

Bai Qinghuan felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

Xiao’ai kept her misty eyes fixed on her.

“Xiao’ai, is it?” Finally, Bai Qinghuan couldn’t help but speak up.

Xiao’ai’s eyes widened a bit, paused in surprise, and nodded.

“Has Sister Su not come back yet?”

Xiao’ai shook her head.

“She hasn’t returned after such a long time?”

Xiao’ai thought for a moment and then nodded again.

Bai Qinghuan’s heart sank. She could speak, yet in front of her, all she did was shake or nod her head?

She couldn’t hold back and blurted out, “Does she not want you anymore?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao’ai’s small face on the hospital bed changed dramatically.

“Miss Bai, that was a bit too much,” said a man’s displeased baritone suddenly from behind her.

Bai Qinghuan’s back stiffened, and she turned around in constraint, looking at the man.

Ji Dong’s indifferent glance swept over her face and then moved past her, making room for the nurse behind him to come in and remove the IV.

“Company Commander Ji, I… I didn’t mean that… I just wanted to ask why Sister Su hasn’t come back after such a long time; I miss her a bit.”

The company commander stood behind the nurse and, upon hearing Bai Qinghuan’s explanation, nodded slightly to indicate he heard her.

However, the man’s unchanging expression still left Bai Qinghuan feeling uneasy.

She didn’t know if he would misunderstand her.

The nurse was responsible for removing the IV and gave Ji Dong a few instructions about what to pay attention to with the child, then left.

Bai Qinghuan, who wanted to explain something to the nurse, saw the nurse stop by the door and turn her head to ask Bai Qinghuan.

“Have you finished your work? If it’s not done, the head nurse will ask about it.”

Bai Qinghuan showed a cordial smile, “Just a little bit left; it will be done soon.”

The nurse nodded, then do finish it soon and go rest. If you want to help and the head nurse has approved, you should complete your work first; your health is important too.

The nurse didn’t hear what Bai Qinghuan had said, but it was clear in this room that she wasn’t very welcome.

But the nurse understood that with Company Commander Ji’s personality, silent and taciturn, in their eyes, he was a tough guy unwelcoming of trivial disturbances.

For either Bai Qinghuan or the company commander, the situation turned out for the best.

Bai Qinghuan looked at Ji Dong and then at Xiao’ai, who was now held in Ji Dong’s arms.

Her lips moved, but she ended up saying nothing and turned to leave.

Once out of the ward, following behind the nurse, she couldn’t help but clench her fists, feeling an inexplicable heartache for herself.

Some people are born with others to shield them from the wind and rain.

But her, she no longer had anyone willing to block the wind and rain for her.

She didn’t want to admit that when she saw Xiao’ai being gently patted in his arms, she actually felt very envious.

Turning back from a distance, she saw Ji Dong holding Xiao’ai and talking to the Ge family elders, apparently discussing something about the child.

In the entire secure zone, only two people had some connection to her.

One was Shen Han, who had left the secure zone with her husband, whereabouts unknown.

The other, Su Shu, hadn’t come to see her for a long time, only daily sending her nutritional supplements.
