Entangled with My Ex's Uncle

Chapter 571: Chapter 571: No Need to Go This Far

Chi Yue realized something, her face turning deathly pale.

Stumbling as she ran out, she happened to bump into the returning caregiver. Chi Yue grabbed her, unable to utter a word, and anxiously pointed in the direction of the room.

The caregiver realized something, and immediately sprinted toward the room...

...

At the hospital, outside the resuscitation room, Chi Yue was ice-cold, her eyes unblinking as she stared at the tightly closed door. noveldrama

Five years had passed, she thought she had forgotten, but it was only when she came to this place that she discovered she hadn’t forgotten at all.

The image of Bai Qing’s departure was still so vivid; she even remembered every word the doctor had said to her.

Back then, there was no one by her side, and she could only watch helplessly as Bai Qing was pushed out covered with a white cloth...

The hospital at night felt even chillier. Chi Yue had come out without wearing a coat. Standing too long made her feet numb, but she didn’t dare to move, afraid of affecting something.

Suddenly, there were footsteps behind her, and the next second, a warm overcoat was draped over her.

A familiar scent lingered at the tip of her nose. Chi Yue was indifferent, her focus solely on the closed door.

Two hours had passed, and Chi Yue remained standing in the same posture.

"Sit down for a while, Grandma wouldn’t want to see you like this," Fu Rongyin’s voice arose beside her.

Chi Yue replied in a cool tone and was about to lift her foot when she suddenly felt it lift off the ground, and the next second, she found herself seated on a bench nearby.

Fu Rongyin immediately sat down beside her.

Chi Yue pondered for a moment and said, "You don’t need to go to such lengths." Her voice, however, carried a distant and dispassionate tone.

Fu Rongyin quietly looked at her for a while before turning away and leaving.

Before long, he came back carrying a food container, "Eat something first; you need the strength to keep waiting."

Chi Yue had no appetite to eat; she continued to gaze unwaveringly at the door to the resuscitation room.

Bai Qing had been gone for so long, and Chi Yue seldom showed her emotions. At most, she would just hide away and cry after a sudden memory triggered by seeing something, to the point where people behind her back said she was heartless.

Chi Yue didn’t really care about what others thought of her. Bai Qing had taught her from a young age that caring too much about others’ gazes would make life very tiring.

Yet, even when she didn’t care about others’ gazes, she was still tired.

If Bai Qing knew she gave up on Fu Rong, she would support her, wouldn’t she?

The urgent ringtone of a mobile phone interrupted Chi Yue’s thoughts. She looked to her side, meeting his gaze just in time.

He said, "Something came up; I have to leave for a bit. Will you be okay on your own?"

Chi Yue nodded, "You don’t need to come back. If you have time, go take care of Mianmian."

Not long after Fu Rongyin left, Grandma also came out.

The doctor, seeing only her by herself, couldn’t help but frown and said, "Where’s your family? Why is it just you?"

Chi Yue said, "They’re on their way back now."

The doctor said, "Call them over. Grandma’s condition hasn’t stabilized yet. You should take her to the intensive care unit first."

Chi Yue always felt there was more to the doctor’s words, but there was no time for her to think.

After taking Grandma to the intensive care unit, Chi Yue was stopped at the door.

She hurriedly called Bai Dongyang but he might not have gotten off the plane yet, as the call didn’t go through.

She then called Bai Bixuan and Situ En, who informed her that they had just gotten off the highway and were still an hour away from the hospital.

Chi Yue had never been so calm.

She tried hard to recall what needed to be done after Bai Qing’s surgery. Yet before she could figure anything out, her phone rang.

It was a call from the caregiver.

"Miss, Mianmian... she’s got a high fever. The driver has gone to pick up the master from the airport. What should we do..."
