Ye Qingyu’s face darkened and his amber eyes suddenly widened as he looked at his bodyguard with displeasure.
“What did you say?” he asked and his voice dripped with iciness.
A-Mu replied, “According to the staff at the hotel, Mrs. Ye paid for an entire week’s day at the hotel but felt unwell, so she went to the hospital after staying a night there.” A-Mu was a little worried himself since he didn’t know how Mrs. Ye was faring either.
Ye Hao abruptly rose to his feet when he heard the word ‘hospital’, his tightly knitted eyebrows suddenly relaxed and his complexion turned red.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” he yelled at his bodyguard.
His eyes were filled with worry and anxiety as he picked up the car keys from the small table and rushed out of the room without any hesitation.
He ran straight toward the castle’s garage.
Qin Xiaoyu who had overheard the conversation followed closely behind him.
“Mr. Ye, please take me with you,” Qin Xiaoyu said worriedly. She heard A-Mu mention that Sister He was in the hospital and anxiously wondered if she was alright.
Ye Hao ignored her and drove the car out of the castle without even sparing her a glance.

He Xiyan was still on a drip in the hospital room and this was the second day since she had been admitted. She felt slightly better compared to the day before, had a little more energy, and consequently, her complexion looked better.
However, her body continued to break out in a cold sweat, and she still experienced occasional bouts of vomiting. Due to the effects of the medication, her heart rate would increase and her face would flush red.
Ms. Li went to the cafeteria to buy lunch while Mo Yixuan kept her company and continued to stare at her. She had tried to drive him out of her ward several times but he refused to budge. He had looked after her for one entire day and night without rest, so his eyes were bloodshot and he looked very weak.
He Xiyan pursed her lips and didn’t know what to say to this man.
Her eyes were filled with helplessness and dumbfoundedness.
“You should have some rest,” she finally said. His actions made her feel even worse.
Love was a burden to her now, and it exhausted her. Her two marriages had left her extremely tired, and if she could, she wanted to return to singledom.
Mo Yixuan shook his head. He was tired but he didn’t want to rest. Moreover, he didn’t want to miss a single moment of being with her.
“I’m not tired, Yan Yan.”
Then, Ms. Li returned with some food. She had bought two portions of rice with three kinds of vegetables and soup, as well as some bone broth and a bowl of eight-treasure congee. The broth and congee were for He Xiyan. She could only take soft foods due to her stomach condition.
Ms. Li opened the bowl of congee, scooped some out and was about to feed it to He Xiyan when Mo Yixuan suddenly snatched her bowl away.
“I’ll do it,” Mo Yixuan said and gestured for Ms. Li to move aside.
Ms. Li looked at this man in confusion and couldn’t understand how this ex-husband could be so shameless. However, she didn’t verbalize her thoughts since she was just a hired nurse aide. It was better to keep her mouth shut.
“Yan Yan, have something to eat. You should get some rest once you’re done eating,” Mo Yixuan said with a small smile, as though he was happy to take care of her.
