Pretending

Su Hanyan had just reached the door of the ward when she was stopped outside by the original owner’s mother and third brother.

“Wretched girl, where did you run off to at a time like this? Can’t you see the state that your father is in?” Wei Guiqin started to reprimand her. She had completely forgotten about the crucial role her daughter had played during the race against time.

“What a heartless ingrate!” Su Jingrui gritted his teeth and raised his hand to nudge his sister’s head.

“Hey!” Su Hanyan slapped his hand away and took two steps to the side. “Do you have no manners? Use only your words to talk. Don’t touch me!”

“Are you rebelling?” Su Jingrui gritted his teeth in anger. “Do you want to die? Is this how you talk to your brother?”

She pursed her lips and shot him a disdainful look. “As someone who only cares about marrying his girlfriend and not about his sister’s life, you’re not qualified to be my brother!”

“You…”

“Alright, alright. You two are always arguing the moment you meet.” Wei Guiqin’s mind was in a mess, and she was not in the mood to listen to her children’s bickering. She interrupted them and said to her daughter directly,”You have quite a temper now, huh? Leaving like that yesterday, you really think you’re all grown up! I’m telling you: You’d better be back by tomorrow!”

Their entire neighborhood was speculating about yesterday’s incident. It was inevitable that a few people, who did not get along with her, would point fingers and gossip behind her back, which was annoying.

She had always been prideful. Now that she was older, having people gossip about her behind her back upset her greatly.

“I’m not going back.” Su Hanyan refused straightforwardly. “Getting me to come and go on your whims, what do you take me for? I’m living well at the factory and have no intentions of coming back.”

“Are you done?” Su Jingrui pointed at her nose and scolded.

She arched an eyebrow as her gaze landed on the finger in front of her. “Don’t point at me! Why do you have so many bad habits? If you point at random people’s noses on the streets, they might break your finger!”

Su Jingrui wanted to snap, but considering that they were in the hospital, he held in his anger. “Do whatever you like, then! Let me tell you: If dad asks, don’t say that we chased you away! It’s you who didn’t want to come back, not that we didn’t let you. Remember that!”

Su Hanyan understood. The two were not sincerely asking her to go back. They were just afraid that her father would ask for the reason when he found out, so they deliberately put on the act in front of her.

Whatever!

Anyway, she had no intention of going back the moment she left!

Living alone in the dormitory and staying away from all the trouble, was that not a good thing?

In the ward.

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectants. Su Dajiang was lying on a white hospital bed with his eyes closed as he slept quietly. It might be a while before he would regain consciousness.

The family took this time to discuss how they would take care of him.

During the day, Wei Guiqin would care for him. The eldest son, Su Jingheng, and the third son, Su Jingrui, would go to work at the machine factory. At night, the person tasked to look after him was Su Hanyan.

This arrangement was actually unfair and illogical, but she did not want to nitpick about it. To her, nighttime had its perks. The hospital would be quiet and there was not much to deal with. She just had to stay by her father’s bed and could even make use of the time to sleep, too.

After leaving the hospital, she went back straight to the factory dormitory to catch up on her sleep. In the evening, she returned to the hospital to take over the shift. She bought some fresh fruits and brought them to the ward.

Coincidentally, Su Dajiang was awake.

When he saw her enter, his kind face revealed an affectionate smile. He raised his hand with great effort and called in a hoarse voice, “Yanyan, come here!”
