Han Qiqing had not expected that she would use such a trick, and she felt bad for Yin Shaojie.

"Aren't you worried that he will get angry?"

"Oh yeah." Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have remembered something. She took out her phone and sent Yin Shaojie a short text.

Curious, Han Qiqing poked her head to see what she had sent. When she saw the message, she was stupefied.

Unsure whether to cry or laugh, she said, "Never mind that you are not letting him send you, but you're even notifying him to reject his help?"

"I've already told him that I will consider it and notify him later. So now I'm notifying him," Mu Xiaoxiao said as if there was nothing wrong with it, but her smile seemed to hide mischief.

Finally, they reached the hospital.

However, when they walked up to the entrance to the ward, they were met with the lady nurse again who informed them that Lu Yichen was not around.

"Then, is he with the doctor again?" Han Qiqing asked hurriedly.

The lady nurse shook her head and said, "Oh no. I don't know where he went."

"Then, what time did he leave?"

"I'm sorry. I did not take note of that."

When the lady nurse left, Han Qiqing looked at Miss Qiqing and asked, "Where do you think he would have gone?"

Mu Xiaoxiao thought and said, "Could he have gone out to buy something? Or perhaps he could have gone back home?"

"I'll look around then." Han Qiqing said, and she walked out.

Glancing at the door, Mu Xiaoxiao said to her, "You go ahead and find him. I'll go see Auntie Lu."

"Okay!" Han Qiqing replied in a hurry as she quickly went downstairs.

Mu Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and entered the ward.

Lu Qianlan had just eaten lunch and was about to rest. As the door opened, she instinctively looked toward it to see Mu Xiaoxiao, and she smiled.

"You're here to visit me again?" she said, smiling gently.

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded as she walked to her side, and she asked her pleasantly, "Auntie, are you getting better?"

However, upon hearing that, the smile on her face gradually faded.

"Auntie's health… isn't quite good."

Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her, startled.

…

Twenty minutes later.

Mu Xiaoxiao appeared to be laden with grief as she came out of the ward, closing the door gently behind her.

Turning back and glancing at the ward, her eyes welled with tears.

Lu Qianlan's words from earlier echoed in her mind.

"Though I don't know how much longer I can endure this, I don't wish to see Yichen begging that person for money. Yichen is a proud kid, and he hates that person. He wouldn't go to him for money even if it would kill him. But if it was for me… he might go… I don't want him to put down his own dignity to beg that person. I would rather die myself than to let him…"

Mu Xiaoxiao could only feel a wrenching pain in her heart as if there was a stone weighing down on her.

Initially, she came to see Auntie Lu in good spirits, but she had never expected to learn of such a cruel truth.

At this moment, her cell phone rang.

It was Han Qiqing calling.

"Xiaoxiao, I can't find him outside. Could he be back at the ward already? Are you still upstairs?"

"I'm… I'm not there. I already came down." Mu Xiaoxiao was afraid that she would not be able to hide her emotions from Han Qiqing as Auntie Lu had urged her not to talk about it to anyone.

Thus, Mu Xiaoxiao had lied and told Han Qiqing that she had already left.

Afraid that she would bump into Qiqing, she quickly went down using the rear staircase and exited the ward building.

However, just as she was walking in front of a lawn, she saw Lu Yichen.
