Song Xi thought the matter was none of her concern.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred that very night.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Song Xi, after finishing her usual instructions with Sister Wang, prepared to leave.
To her surprise, she suddenly saw a group of bodyguards blocking the entrance to Liu Sisi's hospital room.
Fierce arguments seemed to be taking place inside the room. A moment later, a vigorous middle-aged man emerged. He had a stern expression and an imposing presence.
He coldly issued a command: "He jumped out the window. Keep an eye on him. If he ever sets foot in that room again, you'll all be fired!"
"Yes, Mr. Liu!"
Mr. Liu?
Liu Sisi's father!
The next day, Song Xi learned from a nurse that Liu Sisi's boyfriend had climbed in through the window to see her yesterday. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Mr. Liu and then jumped from the second floor.
That was the fourth floor!
This incident also agitated Liu Sisi, worsening her condition. She was suicidal and restless all night, requiring several doses of sedatives before she finally fell asleep.
Song Xi's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
She hadn't expected Zhou Qiao to go to such lengths for Liu Sisi.
After all, Zhou Qiao's initial impression on her hadn't been good. It seemed she had judged him by his appearance.
In the afternoon, Song Xi received a call from Shao Cheng.
"Where are you? Didn't I ask Yu Ming to call you? Why haven't you come yet?"
"When did he call me?"
Shao Cheng paused, then looked at the man beside him, "You didn't call her?"
Lou Yu Ming remained silent, turning his head away.
Shao Cheng: "..." Speechless, what spat were these two having now!
"Never mind, just come over to Liu Sisi's hospital room entrance."
Twenty minutes later, Song Xi arrived in the corridor.
Shao Cheng glanced at his watch, "Why so late?"
"Traffic jam on the way."
In truth, she had deliberately delayed her arrival. Otherwise, with the distance between the two hospital buildings, she could have been there in five minutes.
Song Xi looked at the two bodyguards standing at the door and feigned surprise, "What's going on here?"
"Don't even mention it. Yesterday, Zhou Qiao climbed in through the window and was discovered by Mr. Liu."
"Ah?"
Shao Cheng said, "You find it unbelievable too, right? I wonder how he found out."
Song Xi asked, "Is he alright then?"
"What could happen to him? There were bushes below. A grown man like him wouldn't die from such a fall."
"Oh."
Song Xi glanced at Lou Yu Ming, who remained silent. He hadn't said a word since she arrived, his face set in a cold expression.
What had she done to upset him this time?
Shao Cheng urged, "Liu Sisi is quite distraught. Go in and comfort her quickly."
"Why me?"
Shao Cheng replied, "Liu Sisi requested it. She wants to talk to you."
Song Xi pursed her lips. Just then, her phone vibrated, displaying Sister Wang's name.
Her heart skipped a beat, "...Can I not go?"
Shao Cheng frowned, "If you don't go, Liu Sisi's life could be in danger. Then, forget about fundraising, Mr. Liu will hold us responsible."
Song Xi clenched her fingers. Sister Wang's call must mean there was a reaction from Yang Yang!
She was extremely anxious but couldn't show it, afraid they would notice.
Seeing her remain motionless, Shao Cheng deliberately provoked her, "Song Xi, you're not going to be that selfish, are you?"
That remark irked Song Xi. How was she being selfish? Was it selfish not to do as he said?
She raised her head, a hint of coldness flashing in her calm dark eyes, "Dr. Shao, weren't you being selfish when you said that?"
Shao Cheng's expression froze. He probably hadn't expected her to say something like that.
At this moment, Lou Yu Ming, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
His gaze swept lightly over Song Xi, and his voice was clear and cool, "If you don't want to go, then don't."
