Wan Donglin held a piece of paper, looking at it over and over again before passing it to her. "Yan Xixi, can you tell me what this means?"
Color drained from Yan Xixi’s face.
It was her HCG early pregnancy test report.
Wan Donglin stared at her intently. "I heard you went to the hospital early this morning. I thought something had happened, but instead, this is what occurred!" He had been closely watching her every move from the very beginning.
She stood in place, leaning against the sofa without sitting down, blankly twisting her fingers like a primary school student caught cheating.
Wan Donglin’s gaze became inscrutable. "Yan Xixi, I think you’ve forgotten what I told you when you first came here." From the very beginning, he had told her the rules and warned her repeatedly. Especially now, with Zhou Ting still in this city, his fury was easy to imagine.
At this moment, she remembered Xu Xiaoya’s warning: Do you know who Zhou Ting’s father is? If I revealed it, you would be scared to death...
"Mr. Wan, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I’ve been taking those pills consistently; I never stopped. I don’t know why an accident would happen..." She blurted out, almost in one breath and rambling, "I’m sorry, I’ll handle this myself. I’ve already scheduled the surgery at the hospital. I initially wanted it for tomorrow, but the doctor said they don’t do procedures on Saturdays. Then I tried for next Monday, but he said Monday is fully booked, so it’s scheduled for next Wednesday... I’ll definitely have the surgery next Wednesday, please don’t worry..."
He placed the thin piece of paper on the sofa and finally stood up.
However, she turned to go. After a few steps, she broke into a run, dashing upstairs, her footsteps THUDDING, THUD, THUD.
Before he could catch up, she had run out from her room, rushed to him, pulled out several red receipts, and handed them to him, panting, "Mr. Wan, look, I even paid for the surgery. I’m definitely not trying to leverage this situation. It was truly an accident, and I won’t use it to cause you any trouble..."
"I know!" He responded casually. "It’s because you swiped your card that I knew you were at the hospital."
He had received a credit card transaction alert from the Women and Children’s Hospital; that was how he’d followed the clues. Any expenditure over four digits was reported to him by a designated person. Yan Xixi had no secrets from him, from beginning to end.
Yan Xixi’s hand dropped, her voice softening. "Since Mr. Wan already knows, please rest assured. I will handle this matter properly next Wednesday, making sure not to leave any trouble for you." Without waiting for his reply, she turned and left.
Lying back down on the bed, she realized she had forgotten to get a drink. Her mouth was as dry as a desert, but she didn’t want to go downstairs again and just lay there motionless. The most update n0vels are published on novｅlfire.net
Someone pushed the bedroom door open and came in, but she didn’t open her eyes.
"Xixi, you haven’t had dinner yet."
She kept her eyes tightly shut.
"Xixi, come and eat something first."
"You should eat at least a little. After you eat, I’ll go with you to the hospital tomorrow."
She slowly got out of bed, took a few steps, and almost fell, feeling dizzy. He reached out to steady her, but she shook off his hand and walked out swiftly.
The table was laden with rich, meaty dishes, the kind she used to love. Now, however, just looking at them made her feel sleepy and nauseous. There was also the sweet soup she used to like, but she didn’t want to drink it at all. Instead, she poured herself a large cup of hot tea and drained it in one go.
