“Tong Tong, you’d better go back first. You skipped an entire class. The study load has been heavy lately, don’t get left behind.”

Gu Tong looked worried. “No worries, what are friends for? Your family members are not here, how can I leave you alone?”

“I’m fine and feeling much better now. I think it was low blood sugar. Go, you still have to work at night, how can you find the time to study?”

Gu Tong was in a difficult position.

“Or I can call your family members again?”

“Forget about it, my father has gone to the countryside and the cellular signal may be weak over there. If we were to tell him now, not only would he be unable to come immediately, he would even worry about me. It would be better to let him work in peace. As for the others…”

Liu Hui and Qian Churui were not the type of people who would care about her existence. There was no point in telling them.

“How can you be alone here? I’m worried. I think I’d better stay back to accompany you!”

“I’m here.”

Both the girls looked toward the door.

The person who walked in was Li Hengzhi.

Qian Tao might not know, but Gu Tong knew that he had changed into a set of clean clothes.

Li Hengzhi’s appearance at the ward came as a surprise to the two girls.

Gu Tong stood up quickly and smiled, “Really? If Mr. Li is here, I’ll be relieved! Even if the sky came tumbling down, Mr. Li would be here to hold it up!”

“Tong Tong…” Qian Tao gave her a look to stop her from talking nonsense.

What was her relationship with Li Hengzhi? They were not a courting couple! Interest lay between them. How could she joke about this?

However, Li Hengzhi did not rebut but told Gu Tong, “You may go first.”

“Sure!” Looking nosy, Gu Tong added, “Ah, but…Mr. Li, may I ask what the doctor said? Is Tao alright?”

“Nothing serious. It was low blood sugar.”

Qian Tao let out a sigh of relief. It was really low blood sugar.

“That’s great!” Gu Tong winked at Qian Tao. “Qian Tao, rest well. I’ll make a move first!”

“Go, go!” Qian Tao wanted her to leave immediately.

This girl! She must be imagining her and Li Hengzhi!

Then, she suddenly regained her senses. Tong Tong had gone back and Yan Hai was not around. So, only she and Li Hengzhi were alone in the ward?

“Err…thank you for saving me.”

“How do you want to thank me?”

“Huh?” Qian Tao was dumbfounded, “Umm, I think I have nothing to repay your kindness with.”

“That’s true.” Li Hengzhi placed both his hands on the bed rails and said faintly, “This business is at a loss. If I were to ask you to repay me with your body, you are already mine. As for money, if you have it, you wouldn’t have plotted against me.”

Qian Tao had nothing to say.

Li Hengzhi then walked over and sat on the couch before he reported, “The results are out. It’s nothing serious, it’s only low blood sugar. I’ve asked Yan Hai to arrange for a discharge.”

A thought came to Qian Tao’s mind. ‘I didn’t manage to escape. I thought that I wouldn’t have to go with him to register our marriage today. I thought that it was a blessing in disguise and I could sigh in relief.’

He wouldn’t be so concerned about her.

After a while, the person who walked in was not Yan Hai, but a doctor wearing a white coat and a pair of rectangular spectacles.

He first looked at Qian Tao, then shifted his gaze to Li Hengzhi. “Why discharge her so quickly? She should stay back for further observation.”

“No, thank you.” Li Hengzhi declined while standing up. “I’ll bring her home. If there’s anything, I’ll call you, Uncle.”
