323 I lived in a madhouse
Tian Ruyi remained still as she was hugged by Lu Mengjie. This time she didn't push her away. It was hard to do so especially when the woman in front of her was not even trying to defend herself from the accusations she was making.
Seconds turned to minutes as the two women stood in the middle of the hall. The patients and staff that passed by all ended up turning their way. From the eyes of others, all they could see were two women, mourning.
Slowly, Tian Ruyi lifted her hand, gently placing it on Lu Mengjie's back as she finally returned the hug. She wanted to blame her so badly. Si Guanlin's words rang continuously in her ears. Without Bai Jingye by her side, her brain was in chaos.
"It's your fault..." She whispered.
Lu Mengjie stayed still despite hearing her words. "He died because of you..." Tian Ruyi continued.
The other woman couldn't suppress her tears from falling as those words entered her ears. She felt her chest tighten. As she opened her mouth to say something, she felt a lump in her throat, obstructing the words from coming out. She tightened her embrace as she stretched her lips into a thin line.
"Even if you apologize, I'm never going to forgive you." Tian Ruyi's eyes were blank as the light in them refused to be lit. "Madam! There you are!"
A familiar voice interrupted them.
Lu Mengjie finally released Tian Ruyi just so she could look at the man who addressed her. He was none other than Scorpion. His polo shirt was tainted with blood. It was not his blood but someone else.
"We've brought the Boss to the emergency room! His life is in danger!"
Horror filled Lu Mengjie's eyes upon hearing the news. Yong Liwei had fought Cian earlier, she was suddenly reminded of what happened. Her husband took the stab for her when Cian tried to attack her.
Because of the severity of the damage he received from Cian, Yong Liwei was in a dangerous situation while he was being operated on by the surgeons. It was a good thing that despite having a rare blood type, there was a stock in the hospital's blood bank.
After what happened back then, Han Qinshan had donated his blood only for the purpose of giving it to his son just in case he got into another dangerous situation. Along with his father, his half-brother had donated as well.
While Yong Liwei was unconscious, Lu Mengjie went home to check on her son and her family.
After hearing what happened it was only normal for Lu Xian Yu to be enraged. Sadly, things had already been settled by Xia Liqin and Yong Liwei. Thanks to her younger brother, the news about her captivity didn't reach the public's ears. Everything was hidden from the media.
"You should get some rest, Xiao Meng. I'll have my men keep an eye on Yong Liwei," Lu Xian Yu said as he watched his daughter carry her son.
"I have to go back, dad. Liwei might wake up anytime soon," she softly replied while feeding her son with baby food.
Her father ended up sighing heavily. "It won't hurt him even if he wakes up without you by his side," he muttered to himself. He couldn't help but somehow feel a bit frustrated that Yong Liwei didn't ask for his help when it was his daughter that was in danger. Aside from that, Lu Mengjie may look fine from the outside but he couldn't help but worry about how traumatized she must have been.
When she arrived earlier, he noticed how puffy and red her eyes were. She must have cried a lot.
"That bastard..." He mumbled. Yong Liwei promised that he wouldn't hurt his daughter and yet, just by being unconscious in the hospital, he was already hurting him.
It was then that Lu Xian Yu felt a pat on his shoulder. "I lived in a madhouse ran by tiny monsters I made myself. I survived raising her, I'm sure that she can conquer the world on her own."
"Well, you had a great deal of trouble doing that," he chuckled in reply. "But I think you enjoyed it."
Li Bingbing turned to her husband and raised an unamused brow. "Look, you loved cleaning up others' mess. She inherited that part from you, so now she ended up being a mother raising a tiny devil of her own," she stated as she watched Lu Mengjie clean Little Peanut from the mess he made while eating.
