Chapter 164
Her hair was disheveled, as she glared at him through the strands that fell before her eyes.
“Get out, why won’t you just leave!”
Seeing that he didn’t move, she propped herself up to get out of bed—if he wouldn’t leave, she would!
Anyway, she didn’t want to stay in the same room with him, didn’t want to see him anymore.
Before her feet could touch the ground, Tang Yuchen suddenly turned and stormed out of the ward, yanking the door closed with such force that it made a loud bang.
The room fell silent, and An Ruo wearily lay back down on the bed, closing her eyes in fatigue.
A few minutes later, a nurse pushed the door open and entered.
She surveyed the mess on the floor but said nothing, first reinserting An Ruo’s IV, then quietly cleaned up the floor.
Then, with a gentle voice, she said to her, “Young lady, I know you’re heartbroken over the loss of the child. However, your health is what’s most important. Don’t get too emotional; focus on recovering first.”
An Ruo nodded to indicate she understood. She never ignored anyone’s concern.
Each act of care was precious to her, and she was grateful for all of it.
“You haven’t eaten yet, right? You are in a VIP ward, and three meals a day are provided for free. What would you like to eat? I’ll go fetch it for you,” the nurse continued kindly.
An Ruo opened her mouth but realized her throat was somewhat hoarse, unsure of how to respond.
Deep down, she felt wronged. When people showed concern for her, she felt even more aggrieved and distressed.
Understanding her condition, the nurse made a decision on her behalf, “I’ll bring you some porridge. I think that’s all you can handle right now.”
“Thank you…”
“No need to be polite.” The earnest nurse left the ward and soon brought back a steaming bowl of white rice porridge that was fragrant, melted in the mouth, and tasted quite good.
She hadn’t expected the hospital’s porridge to be so delicious.
An Ruo ate half a bowl and felt much more energized.
Later, Uncle Tao personally brought her a set of clothes, along with many fruits and tonics, but Tang Yuchen never reappeared.
It was best if he never appeared again; she didn’t ever want to see him in the future.
She could have been discharged today, but the doctor recommended that An Ruo stay one more night, so she reluctantly spent another night in the hospital.
———
The next day, early in the morning, she changed her clothes and quietly left on her own, returning to the place she rented.
She thought that Tang Yuchen might come after her, but he never showed up all day.
An Ruo thought that perhaps he had let her go. Trading a child for freedom, she wondered if it was worth it.
As time passed day by day, An Ruo kept herself locked in her room, her life a monotonous blend of sleeping and eating, both boring and aimless.
During this time, Tang Yuchen truly did not appear again, nor did he make any phone calls, and An Ruo had completely forgotten about him.
Actually, she didn’t even want to harbor hatred toward him. He was not worthy of her hatred; he only deserved to be forgotten by her.
When she was almost fully recovered, someone knocked on her door one day. An Ruo opened it to find Uncle Tao standing at the threshold, quite unexpectedly.
She was taken aback, a flicker of surprise in her eyes, followed by speculation.
Had he come because Tang Yuchen had sent him?
An Ruo furrowed her brow slightly, and Uncle Tao, perceiving her thoughts, hastily replied with a kind smile, “Child, don’t get it wrong, it wasn’t the young master who sent me. I came on my own to see how you’re doing. If you don’t welcome me, I can leave right now.”
“Uncle Tao, please come in,” An Ruo stepped aside to invite him in.
Uncle Tao entered with a happy smile, carrying bags of items with him.
