Dr. Chen was Shen Nian's attending physician, and he had always been in charge of communicating Shen Nian's treatment plans to Tan Yubai. At such a moment, when he received his contact information, he could not help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mister Tan, I need you to come to the hospital as soon as possible." The Dr. Chen's voice was urgent. It caused Tan Yubai's heart to involuntarily tremble.
Tan Yubai frowned, he thought for a moment and sighed.
As he spoke, he hung up. Yu Meng was at the side. Although she could not hear the voice clearly, she could sense Tan Yubai's emotions. She quietly left from Tan Yubai's shoulder and sat at the side, raising her head to ask him.
"Are you leaving?"
Tan Yubai seemed to feel very guilty, he raised his head and looked at Yu Meng, his eyes already filled with sorrow.
"The doctor said she wouldn't be treated. It's very unstable right now."
Yu Meng frowned. "That's obviously to force you to go back."
Since Tan Yubai did not say anything, how could he not understand?
"Then I'll go back with you." "I'll take care of her," Yu Meng said.
"No." Tan Yubai rejected her without thinking.
"Are you afraid of me feeling wronged?" Yu Meng seemed to have seen through Tan Yubai's thoughts.
Tan Yubai sighed deeply.
"You don't have to do this for me." The light in his eyes dimmed as he spoke.
"I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for myself." At this moment, Yu Meng's mind was clear. She looked at Tan Yubai seriously, this was her husband.
"I can't just let other women rob me of my man." Yu Meng pretended to speak with a relaxed tone, "Sometimes, a woman's problem requires us women to solve it ourselves."
Tan Yubai frowned, he did not understand what Yu Meng meant.
"I won't hurt her, so why are you hesitating? Don't worry about me."
Tan Yubai shook his head, "Of course not." He reached out his hand to touch Yu Meng's cheek, "I was just afraid that you'd be bullied."
"I've been bullied?" Yu Meng's eyes widened. "She can't even stand up anymore. Why is she bullying me?"
Tan Yubai laughed.
"She wouldn't let go of the fact that you're kind and worried. Leave it to me, I won't be as soft-hearted as you."
"I am not soft-hearted..."
"Whatever it is, take me with you."
"Sigh... "Alright then …"
When Tan Yubai and Yu Meng rushed to the hospital, it was already one or two in the morning. Shen Nian laid on the bed with a pale face, looking like she was in pain.
Yu Meng roughly understood Shen Nian's situation from Dr. Chen, her injuries were already serious, and she had to inject the anesthetic at the right time every day in order to ensure that her injuries didn't hurt. Otherwise, once the effects of the medicine wore off, she would have to endure unimaginable pain.
And for the sake of making Tan Yubai come back to her side, Shen Nian had been really cruel to her. Yu Meng thought.
When Yu Meng followed Tan Yubai into the sickroom, Shen Nian was lying on the bed with a pale face. Hearing the footsteps, she turned her head and saw Tan Yubai.
Shen Nian's eyes immediately became sharp.
"You …" Maybe it was because of the pain, but when Shen Nian spoke, her breathing was very ragged as she stuttered, "Why are you here?"
Yu Meng stood on Tan Yubai's body and wrapped her arms around Tan Yubai.
"I'm worried about you." She smiled naturally and generously, as if she was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
"The weasel pays his respects to the chicken." Shen Nian's voice was soft, but it was still heard by Yu Meng.
"Hmm?" She couldn't help but ask, "Are you saying I'm a weasel, or are you saying you're a chicken?"
Shen Nian's face immediately darkened.
Tan Yubai, who was standing at the side, could not help but cough.
"Alright." He frowned, a little worried. They had just met, and Yu Meng was already on the verge of exploding. He had no idea what was going to happen if he let her stay here.
"You go out first." He turned his head to speak to Yu Meng.
"Alright." Yu Meng turned around and glanced at Shen Nian, "Make sure you take the medicine injection and eat properly, don't let the people who are worried about you be worried."
Her words were serious and didn't contain any other meaning of sarcasm. Perhaps it was because these words sounded too sincere, causing Shen Nian who was lying on the sickbed to be stunned.
Yu Meng sat on a bench in the corridor with her head lowered. The surroundings were empty and quiet. There was only a bunch of incandescent lights shining coldly from loneliness.
Yu Meng suddenly felt a strong sense of empathy.
She thought that seeing Shen Nian would make her feel like an enemy, but reality proved that she didn't hate him as much as she had imagined.
Maybe Yu Meng had never thought that Shen Nian was such a pitiful person.
She was lying on the sickbed. Shen Nian, who had relied on her hands to beat away more than ten men before, did not even have the ability to stand up now.
Even if she had to use a self-mutilation method, she would still stay by Tan Yubai's side. She wanted him to come back, probably because she had lost everything, and only by relying on Tan Yubai could she just barely find some meaning for staying alive.
Yu Meng sighed and fell into deep thought.
"What are you thinking about?"
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Yu Meng suddenly felt a warmth by her side. Someone sat down and draped a coat over her.
Yu Meng raised her head and looked straight into Tan Yubai's tired eyes.
He sat down beside her, his arms wrapped around her, his head resting on her shoulder.
"I asked the Dr. Chen to vacate a ward and change everything. You can sleep there tonight."
"Then where do you sleep?"
Yu Meng broke free from Tan Yubai's embrace, frowned at him, and asked, "While you were taking care of Shen Nian, where did you sleep all night?"
Tan Yubai's dark circles were very heavy, and when he smiled, his eye sockets creased together, accentuating a lot of the vicissitudes of life.
"I don't care. I just want to gather some things here."
"Is this how you worked so many days?"
Tan Yubai did not directly answer Yu Meng's question, he only wanted to dodge the question.
"It's fine."
"Why is he fine!" Yu Meng panicked. "Your body will collapse if you do that!"
If one were to say that he had some sympathy for Shen Nian just now, at this moment in time, there was no more sympathy at all.
"Well, go to bed."
Yu Meng stared at Tan Yubai, her heart aching, "What about you?"
"I want to watch over here. Shen Nian just injected the medicine and I'm afraid she'll wake up in the middle of the night."
"Then I'll accompany you." Yu Meng grabbed Tan Yubai's arm and burrowed into his chest.
"The corridor is very cold, and it's very uncomfortable to sleep in."
"If you're fine, then I'm fine too." Yu Meng giggled shamelessly.
Tan Yubai had no choice but to hug her as he slept.
"I thought I could finally get a good night's sleep." Yu Meng sighed and slowly closed her eyes, "It's a pity that I can't fulfill this wish of mine."
That night, although the sleeping environment was not too good, Yu Meng slept soundly. Maybe it was because Tan Yubai was by his side that Yu Meng slept soundly and sweetly.
