After the divorce, the wife and cubs amazed the world

Lu Yanbai's heart skipped a beat.

I got some very important information from her few words.

"You mean, my brother lied to me? Everything he said to me was a lie?"

But what Leng Li said is true.

Leng Li bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth and said nothing, answering her question with silence.

The more she remained silent, the more Lu Yanbai became certain of his guess.

"Leng Li, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Leng Li said weakly, "Xiao Bai, I feel so uncomfortable and dizzy. Can you let me rest for a while?"

Lu Yanbai: "......??? Are you hungry? Do you want me to buy you something to eat? The doctor said you are sick and shouldn't eat spicy or meaty food. I'll buy you some seafood porridge."

Leng Li did not answer his question, but asked: "What time is it now?"

Lu Yanbai took out his phone and checked the time: "It's eleven o'clock."

"...??"

"Take a rest first, I'll go out and buy you something to eat."

Lu Yanbai stared at the back of her head quietly for a while, finally sighed, turned around and left the ward.

No matter whether Leng Li was telling the truth or being polite.

The doctor said that she is very weak and needs good care.

She had been unconscious for the entire day and hadn't eaten anything. If she continued to be hungry until tomorrow morning, her health would only be worse.

Only if she gets better soon can she be discharged from the hospital and he can go home.

After walking out of the ward, Lu Yanbai suddenly felt that the air became fresh. He closed his eyes and breathed in big gulps of fresh air.

He had been in the hospital for as long as he could remember due to heart disease.

So he hates the smell of hospital disinfectant.

But today, for the first time, he thought the smell was really good.

It relaxed his tense nerves a lot.

After staying outside the door for a while, Lu Yanbai took the elevator down, found a store, and bought a bowl of seafood porridge and century egg and lean meat porridge.

Lu Yanbai stood outside the ward door for a long time with the midnight snack in his hand, but he never pushed the door open.

Suddenly, intermittent crying sounds were heard from the ward.

He was startled and walked closer, wanting to listen more carefully.

as predicted.

As the distance got closer, the crying became more obvious.

Leng Li is crying.

It can be heard that she has been deliberately suppressing her emotions and dared not cry too loudly.

Lu Yanbai's hands holding the packing bag kept tightening, and the corners of his eyes unconsciously turned red.

How did things come to this?

After Lu Yanbai hesitated outside the door for a long time, he finally pushed it open and went in.

When she heard the sound, her crying stopped immediately. Leng Li turned around in panic, and the moment she saw Lu Yanbai, she immediately turned her head and desperately wiped her tears with her sleeves.

Lu Yanbai put the packing bag on the bedside table and said distressedly, "Are you crying?"

Leng Li neither admitted nor denied: "I, I thought you were not coming back, and didn't want me? When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, it's easy to have wild thoughts. You don't have to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. It's my own problem."

Lu Yanbai glanced at the folding bed where the caregiver slept.

The caregiver who was supposed to sleep upstairs was nowhere to be found.

"Where's the nurse?"

Leng Li said faintly: "I am not used to strangers in my room, so I let her go."

Lu Yanbai: "......?? You are sick now and need someone to take care of you."

Leng Li turned her back to Lu Yanbai and sobbed, "No need, I'm not missing any limbs, I can take care of myself! When I was a child in an orphanage, there were too many people in the orphanage and not many caregivers. When we were sick, we took care of ourselves! I've gotten used to it."

After hearing this, Lu Yanbai felt sad.

Thinking about the environment and experiences she had since she was a child, I couldn't help but feel that I was very cruel.

It would be fine if it was a stranger I didn't know.

It just so happened that this woman was once his fiancée. If she had not been imprisoned by his brother, they might have been husband and wife now.

It would be a lie to say I had no sympathy for the woman who was almost my wife.

but--

I just feel sympathy for her situation, without any other extra emotions.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Leng Li continued: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble!

I was feeling really bad at that time, I thought I was going to die. I wanted to hear your voice for the last time, so I couldn't help but call you.

I thought, even if I really died, I couldn't dirty your house.

If you had discovered it earlier, it wouldn't have rotted in your house."

Hearing her say this, Lu Yanbai felt very uncomfortable, as if a ball of cotton was blocking his throat and he couldn't breathe.

"Don't say that. You just have a common fever. There's nothing else wrong with you! You can be discharged from the hospital once the fever subsides."

Leng Li said sadly, "So what if you are discharged from the hospital? Aren't you still alone? At least you can talk to nurses when you live in the hospital."

"...??"

Lu Yanbai didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After a long while, he finally managed to say, "You weren't like this before?"

Leng Li asked self-deprecatingly: "What was I like before?"

Lu Yanbai said: "Although you had a bad background in the past, you were optimistic and positive. No matter how big the difficulties were, they could not overwhelm you."

He was attracted to her because of her perseverance and tenacity.

And now?

She was sad and depressed all day long, as if the whole world had wronged her. There was a gloomy haze all over her. Every time she got close to her, he felt depressed and painful, and felt like he couldn't breathe.

He didn't like the way she was now.

Leng Li smiled, and as she smiled, tears fell down her face. She felt very bitter and uncomfortable in her heart.

"Yes! In the past, I refused to give up and did not believe in fate. I thought that as long as I relied on my own hands, I could survive and live well.

Even if I have no friends or relatives, I don’t care, as long as I can live happily.

But--"

At this point, she paused deliberately, and then continued: "But - but what if I don't admit defeat? I am too insignificant. I can't fight against the sky, and I can't fight against Jian Sichen.

I originally thought that I had finally found happiness, found a man who loved and cared for me, and that we could build a family together.

The results of it?

But it was ruined by Jian Sichen.

If I hadn't tried every possible means to escape, I would still be imprisoned by him in a barren country that is not even on the map.

Only now do I understand the importance of power, status and money.

People like us are just ants on the ground, and anyone can step on us. But I have no ability to resist at all.

You can't understand how desperate I was during this period of house arrest -

I felt that everything around me was pitch black, and I could not see any hope - only endless despair -"

At this point, she really couldn't control her emotions, so she buried her face in the pillow and burst into tears.

"why?"

"Why is fate so unfair to me?"

"Of course I have never done anything bad in my life, and I have never done anything that would offend my conscience. Why are you doing this to me? Why?"
