Chapter 3: The Ex-Fiance

Chapter 3

Granny Xu bought breakfast and came back. At the hospital entrance, she met Zhao Yu who came to see Ling Yue. "Mrs. Zhou! Why are you here?" Zhao Yu was Zhou Mucheng’s mother and the matriarch of the Zhou Family. She had a very good relationship with Ling Yue’s mother when she was alive. Ling Yue and Zhou Mucheng’s engagement was decided by the two of them.

"I'm here to see Yue Yue. How is she now?" There was a hint of guilt in Zhao Yu's expression. She was very fond of Yue Yue and hoped that she could become her daughter-in-law. It was just a pity that things never go as planned.

After Yue Yue’s mother died, the Ling Family didn't want the engagement between her and Mucheng to continue. It was her who had been insisting on it, and the Zhou Family didn't cancel the engagement only because of her persistence. Although Yue Yue was not favored in the Ling Family, she was still the Ling Family’s rightful young miss. The marriage alliance would benefit both the Ling and Zhou families.

But now Yue Yue was disfigured. The Zhou Family would never marry a disfigured woman. No matter how much she objected, it would be useless. She felt guilty for not fulfilling Yue Yue’s mother’s dying wish.

"The young miss is in very bad shape. Not only her body, but her face is also burned..." When Granny Xu thought of Ling Yue's situation, her eyes turned red. Appearance was the most important thing for a woman. How would the young miss face her disfigurement in the future?

"What a pitiful child." Zhao Yu couldn't help but tear up too.

As they talked, they walked to the ward. Hearing the doctor's cold words inside, Granny Xu pushed the door open and walked in, "Doctor, I will go pay the outstanding medical fees. Please don't talk to my young miss like that, or I will file a complaint against you." How hateful the Ling Family was, not even paying the medical fees for the young miss. No matter what, the young miss was still the young miss of the Ling Family, and she had the Ling Family blood running through her veins.

Granny Xu had been in Yue Yue’s mother’s family and served the Ling Family for so many years. Her aura was naturally not comparable to ordinary people. Under Granny Xu's imposing manner, the doctor's attitude immediately softened. He smiled apologetically, "Alright, please go pay the medical fees as soon as possible."

Zhao Yu looked at the doctor coldly, "Ling Yue is not someone you can bully at will. If I find out you are mistreating her again, don't blame me for being impolite." As the matriarch of the Zhou Family, it would be easy for her to get the hospital to fire a doctor.

"I won't dare to do it again." The doctor was so frightened that cold sweat ran down his back. The lady before him was a person of status, not someone a small doctor like him could afford to offend.

Zhao Yu let out a cold snort and walked to the bedside. Seeing Ling Yue’s whole body wrapped in gauze, her eyes turned red again, "My poor child."

"Auntie Zhao..." Ling Yue knew Zhao Yu sincerely cared for the original host.

"Mucheng, do it for your mother, please go see Yue Yue." Zhao Yu hoped Ling Yue could be a little happier. It would also be good for her recovery.

"Mom!" Zhou Mucheng looked up impatiently, "I have no relationship with her anymore. I won't go see her."

As he spoke, Zhou Mucheng stood up and walked towards the stairs.

Zhao Yu shook her head and sighed. Yue Yue was a good girl. Hopefully one day Mucheng wouldn't regret this.

After a few days of recuperation with the power of the stars, Ling Yue felt her body was recovered. She asked Granny Xu to process her discharge paperwork. She really disliked staying in the hospital, especially the smell of disinfectant that she found unbearable.

"Young miss, you should stay in the hospital for a few more days. What if your wounds get infected after you're discharged?" Granny Xu was worried. The young miss had only been in the hospital for a week and her injuries were not yet healed.

When the nurse came to change the young miss’s dressings yesterday, she saw that her wounds were still raw and bleeding. How could she be discharged now?

"Granny Xu, I don't want to stay in the hospital. Go get my discharge paperwork done for me, okay?" Ling Yue shook Granny Xu's arm coquettishly.

"Young miss, don't move. Be careful not to hurt your wounds." Granny Xu didn't dare move an inch, looking at Ling Yue's bandaged hands worriedly.

"Granny Xu, I want to be discharged. Just help me with the discharge formalities." Ling Yue continued acting coquettishly.

"If she wants to be discharged, just let her. There's no need to stop her." As the voice rang out, a beautiful woman dressed in a white dress walked in the door.

Ling Yue looked towards the voice, her gaze turning cold. The newcomer was Ling Yue's half-sister, Ling Meng.

Ling Meng walked to the bedside and looked Ling Yue up and down, laughing mockingly, "It's really pitiful to be injured like this. I heard burn scars can never heal for a lifetime. What will you do now, sister?"
