Chapter 435: Chapter 432

The curtain beside the hospital bed seemed to stir slightly.

After that, a tall figure appeared before her tear-blurred eyes.

The person came over and handed her a few tissues.

Wen Xian rubbed her eyes quickly with the back of her hand and then saw the man clearly.

However, when she saw him, there was an unmistakable look of astonishment in her reddened eyes.

“Pro, Professor…”

Yes, the person appearing before her, also dressed in the loose blue and white striped hospital attire, with a tall frame and a pair of gold-rimmed silver glasses perched on his high nose bridge, was none other than Professor Xiao, whom she encountered earlier in Qinghai’s jurisdiction.

She never imagined she would meet him in the hospital, and even more so, become fellow patients.

This was… what, fate?

Xiao Yixing nodded slightly upon hearing her, and with a calm voice said, “I just heard you crying and nothing else; don’t worry. You can carry on, I will step outside for a while, and you rest up inside.”

Having said that, he turned and left.

But he seemed to move slowly, perhaps because of some surgery he had undergone.

Looking at the tissues in her hand, then at the sound of his departing footsteps, Wen Xian stopped crying. She quietly dried her tears and blew her nose.

Damn it, how embarrassing.

She didn’t believe for a second that he heard nothing. But who could have anticipated that, just beyond a curtain, there would be an acquaintance?

Now, he knew about her fertility struggles.

What Lu Xiao was up to, Wen Xian couldn’t fathom. Even when lunchtime came and the nurse brought her meal, he was nowhere to be seen.

At her most vulnerable and helpless, not seeing him inevitably made her feel even more desolate and her appetite waned, leaving her with no desire to eat.

What had Lu Xiao gone off to do…?

But just then, her phone on the bedside table buzzed.

She hurriedly picked it up.

Upon looking, she saw it was a WeChat message, but it wasn’t from Lu Xiao, it was from Huo Qi.

Huo Qi directly sent a picture, followed by an urgent barrage of questions:

[What’s going on!? Today, one of my buddies was passing by this street and said he witnessed a car accident. He sent me a photo; the woman by the roadside in this greenery area is you, right, it’s you? How are you now!?]

Wen Xian gazed at his message: “…”

She was momentarily at a loss for words.

She didn’t expect to be discovered not by netizens but by Huo Qi accidentally.

While she hesitated about what to say, Huo Qi’s call suddenly came in.

Her: “…”

Perhaps following her internal struggle, her hand slipped, and she hung up the call.

Huo Qi immediately sent a barrage of question marks.

Wen Xian exhaled helplessly and finally resigned to sending him the hospital’s location.

Otherwise, at this rate, he was sure to keep pestering her endlessly.

After she sent the location, Huo Qi replied with two words: [Wait there!]

She knew he’d be worried seeing she was at the hospital, and would hurry over.

She held her phone, deliberating for a long while, wanting to call Lu Xiao to ask where he had gone. She… she missed him so much.

But in the end, she held herself back.

Lying on the bed, she closed her eyes in turmoil for a while, until drowsiness crept upon her, and she slowly fell asleep.

Clinging to her phone and with tears still lingering at the corners of her eyes.

And as she slept, a figure returned…!

He approached her bed, gazing at her still in slumber, and bent over, his actions tender as he carefully picked her up…
