“Alright, I understand, brother-in-law.”
Li Qingcang made one call after another.
He must find Lu Jijun as soon as possible. Lu Jijun’s life might be in danger.
Based on the conversation between Xie Xuning and Ye Tianxin, Li Qingcang didn’t believe that Lu Jijun could do such a thing on his own.
Someone must have been pulling Lu Jijun’s strings.
When Li Qingcang was done making phone calls, he returned to the ward. No one was there.
‘Where is she?’
Li Qingcang was so worried that he broke into cold sweats. He quickly turned on the light.
“Tianxin,” he uttered almost inaudibly.
Ye Tianxin wasn’t in the ward.
Li Qingcang looked for her in the closet.
Then he went to the bathroom, but to no avail.
Frightened, Li Qingcang walked to the window, but he found no traces of Ye Tianxin either.
He turned around and saw the full-length mirror. Then he saw Ye Tianxin sleeping under the bed, curled up like a baby.
He was relieved.
He slowly lowered his body and quietly climbed in front of Tianxin. His Tianxin was sleeping sweetly under the bed.
“Tianxin.”
Ye Tianxin heard Li Qingcang’s voice. She instinctively snuggled into Li Qingcang’s arms, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep.
Li Qingcang’s heart was filled with pain and affection upon seeing Tianxin.
Everything that happened last night would undoubtedly leave a scar in Ye Tianxin’s heart. It would take a very long time to get rid of that scar, if it was even possible to get rid of.
After a while, Li Qingcang gently hugged Ye Tianxin.
Although it was summer, Ye Tianxin should not sleep on the wooden floor.
She was already weak. She hadn’t fully recovered yet. She would get sick easily.
With their heads next to each other, Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin slept in the hospital bed. Xie Xuning’s temples throbbed upon seeing this.
He had just found his long-lost daughter and hadn’t even had the opportunity to spoil her before the big bad wolf snatched her into his den.
This made Xie Xuning extremely uncomfortable.
Grandmother saw Xie Xuning standing by the door, hesitant to enter, so she asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” Xie Xuning respond blankly.
Grandmother glanced at Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin, then said, “I was worried that Tianxin would be bullied by people after marrying into the Li family because she had no renowned family to back her up. Now that she has you, I won’t worry so much. Xiao Cang is a good child, and, fortunately, through him, Tianxin successfully took the college entrance examinations.”
Although Grandmother wasn’t highly educated, she was kind and grateful.
Ye Tianxin was pressed for time during the college entrance examinations. Grandmother just had another operation, so Tianxin had to take care of her and study at the same time.
Without Li Qingcang’s help and guidance, Tianxin might not have been able to achieve good scores.
“Xiao Cang is very kind.”
When Xie Xuning recalled how mad Li Qingcang was last night, he realized how important his daughter was to him.
He knew. However, knowing was one thing; accepting was another.
“If there were no Xiao Cang, we might not have met,” Grandmother said. A slight smile formed on her lips.
In fact, if Ye Tianxin hadn’t donated blood to Li Qingcang at the time, there would have been no next thing…
