On the other end of the line, Kristen answered without feeling surprised. “That’s right.”
“Why?”
Why did he tell me about it and specially instigated me to go pick him up from the airport? Had I not gone to the airport today, I would not have seen it and I would have probably felt better.
Kristen smiled and said, “Because, I wanted you to get a clear idea of someone and their situation.”
Overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness, Luo Anning smiled in a sarcastic and self-deprecating manner. She thought, yeah, it showed me Rong Yan’s true colors and the wide gap between us that can never be closed.
……
Upon arriving at the hospital, Luo Anning alighted from the car. As soon as she took a few steps forward, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell onto the ground.
“Young Madam Rong?” Secretary Wu called out in uncertainty after staring at Luo Anning.
Luo Anning struggled to get up while Secretary Wu rushed forth to hold onto her. She then leaned against him and tried to get up.
Seeing that it was Mayor Feng’s secretary, she greeted him politely and thanked him. When Secretary Wu saw the bandage on her head, he asked in bewilderment, “Young Madam, are you injured?”
“Just a little bit. It doesn’t get in the way. What are you doing here, Secretary Wu?”
Secretary Wu answered, “The Mayor is not feeling too well so I’m here to get some prescription drugs for him. Young Madam Rong, you don’t seem too well. Why don’t I send you in?”
Luo Anning waved and refuted, “No need, you go ahead. I’m alright. Thank you, by the way.”
Even a non-related person was concerned about her. Yet, Rong Yan did not say a single word despite being so close to her today.
Her heart sank to rock bottom.
Seeing that she had declined his help, Secretary Wu did not insist any further and turned around to leave.
As soon as he took a few steps, he heard the sounds of a loud thud coming from behind him. He subconsciously turned around…
“Young Madam Rong!”
…
By the time Rong Yan returned to Luxury Mansion, the entire mansion and porch were already brightly lit. As soon as he entered the living room, the servants and Auntie Li rushed forth to receive him.
He scrutinized the house and asked with a frown, “Where’s your Young Madam?”
Auntie Li continuously rubbed her hands and said worriedly, “Young Master Rong, Young Madam went to work in the morning and hasn’t come back till now. We called the company and the people from the HR department said that Young Madam had applied for leave in the afternoon and left afterwards. She hasn’t come home yet and I can’t reach her on her mobile. I’m worried… ”
“She isn’t home!?!” Rong Yan barked.
He was terrifyingly cold.
Auntie Li said, “Young Madam hasn’t returned ever since she left in the morning. She’s uncontactable too.”
“Damn it!” Rong Yan cussed and rushed out.
…
When Luo Anning regained her consciousness, she felt flustered for a long while. She was greeted with a glaring light and the stench of antiseptic infiltrated her senses.
Am I in the hospital?
“Are you awake? Are you feeling any discomfort?” asked Feng Churui who put down his documents and sat by the bed when he saw that she had come to.
“Young Master Feng?” Luo Anning clenched her jaw and propped herself up.
Feng Churui stepped forward to support her, tucked a pillow behind her back and said slowly, “The doctor said that you had a forehead wound infection. That’s why you got dizzy spells. You have to rest up in the hospital for two days, and the doctor will continue observing your condition until you’re ready to be discharged.”
“Two days?” Luo Anning placed a hand on the bandaged wound on her forehead and thought to herself in dismay, this tiny wound is really troublesome.
It had given her so much trouble.
