Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!
Chapter 82 Just One Look
Qi Yuan was reflecting on his own personality.
He felt that Noah dared to joke with him so recklessly and say things that made people blush, probably because of his personality.
If I were more thick-skinned and generous, would I not have been tricked like Noah?
He was imprisoned the moment he entered this world, and served five years. During those five years, Qi Yuan was always on edge, ready to fight with others at any time.
That's why he rarely smiles and always has a mature look on his face.
When they first met Noah, Noah's aura was indeed terrifying and imposing. However, after getting to know him in private, they realized that Noah was somewhat shameless and had a quirky personality.
After spending more time with him, Qi Yuan felt that his constantly tense nerves had relaxed without him even realizing it.
So much so that he's now wondering if he should change his image.
Noah and Petty were having a snowball fight, and they were fighting like enemies. They could even take a child so seriously, and Qi Yuan really didn't know what to say to them.
It was freezing cold outside, and Qi Yuan couldn't stand the chill after sitting for a while, so he went inside to make milk tea for the two of them.
When the two, one big and one small, came in covered in snow, they drank warm milk tea at the perfect temperature and each gave Qi Yuan a kiss.
At the Davis family home, Noah tried his best to minimize the impact of the poisoned cake and Xiu's assassination attempt. This was something outsiders couldn't see, and there were children in the house as well. Noah didn't want Petty and Qi Yuan to bear too much of these unpleasant things.
But in places visible to outsiders—in hospitals.
To ensure Xiu Neng's safe recovery, Noah booked all the wards on the top floor of the hospital, with a gun-wielding bodyguard standing in front of each room.
The nurses who went in to change Xiu's medication had to go through several checks. Even at the Robinson family home, only Xiu's father, Thorn, was allowed to enter. Other members of the Robinson family, even his own brother, were not allowed to go in.
Noah's actions became known throughout the city.
In the bustling hospital, some people heard that Xiu had taken up an entire floor of wards, while others secretly cursed him.
With hospital rooms so scarce, isn't it a waste of resources for one person to occupy an entire floor? Some people also say that a room on the top floor costs three thousand yuan a night, which is unaffordable for ordinary people. Therefore, even if they don't occupy a whole floor, ordinary people still can't afford it.
Even so, there was still a lot of discussion, since the person attacked was a male concubine of the Davis family, and everyone was guessing who did it.
Some imaginative theories suggest it's a power struggle between male concubines who, unable to tolerate each other, hire someone to kill the other. Since only Xiu is currently hospitalized while Qi Yuan remains unharmed, some have imagined a brutal way for these male concubines to compete for favor.
This version has generated the most discussion.
In the bustling hospital, a small figure, wrapped up tightly in a sewing cap, sat quietly in a corner, listening to the conversations of those around her.
His eyes were red, and he sat anxiously on the bench, sitting there from day to night.
As evening fell, the number of patients in the hospital decreased significantly. A nurse noticed the figure who had been sitting on the bench all day. She could smell the stench emanating from the person's clothes even from a distance, despite their tattered appearance.
I knew it must be someone who was sick and broke, sitting on a chair in the hospital, hoping that the kind doctor would treat him for free.
The hospital had seen too many poor people like him who treated doctors and nurses like fools, so even though they noticed him, none of the nurses were willing to come over and ask him why he had been sitting there for so long.
Just then, a female voice that was very familiar to Shi Bai rang out.
"You can take care of him if you want. He's your son, not mine. I don't want to take care of him in the hospital in this cold weather. Besides, he's not dead!"
Shi Bai recognized the speaker as Jocelyn, the mistress of the Robinson family, who was Xiu's mother, but not his biological mother.
Xiu is the child of Thorn Robinson's extramarital affair. He has no blood relation to Jocelyn, the mistress of the Robinson family, and Jocelyn hates this other woman who bore her husband's son.
"Just pretend. Mr. Noah really likes our Xiu now. If you take good care of Xiu, Mr. Noah will give us a lot of money."
"If you want money, go take care of it yourself. Why are you calling me?"
"I'm just sitting there bored. Besides, isn't taking care of children a woman's job? I'm a grown man, I have to take care of my family and earn money."
"How dare you say that?! Aren't you making money by selling your son? Taking care of your youngest son is also making money, so go make your money, bah!"
"Honey, please take care of me. I'm so tired from taking care of everyone today. Let me go home and rest for a bit."
"I don't want to! Why do we have to take care of him? Hasn't Noah Davis already sent a lot of bodyguards to take care of him? Just let the bodyguards take care of him. They've taken so much money from the Davis family, what's wrong with them taking care of a servant?"
Thorn genuinely didn't want to stay in the hospital to take care of the patient, and neither did his wife Jocelyn. However, upon hearing Jocelyn's words, Thorn immediately realized that she was right, so he disregarded her concerns and went home with her.
Shi Bai watched their figures disappear into the distance, his eyes slightly reddening, feeling sorry for Xiu.
Over the years, the Robinson family has maintained the same attitude towards Xiu; not one of them truly loves him.
Thorn's departure is a good thing for Shi Bai.
He got up and wandered around the hospital, looking for a way to get to the rooftop ward.
The rooftop wards are now under heavy guard; even the bodyguards standing at the door refuse to open it unless they are nurses or doctors.
Shi Bai wandered around the hospital for two hours. The night grew darker and darker, and the hospital became extremely quiet.
As Shi Bai passed by a room, he saw a sign on the door that read "Nurses' Break Room," where several nurses were chatting.
One of the nurses said, "Linda, the patient on the top floor is about to finish his IV drip. Go and get him a fresh one."
"I know, I'll go right away."
Hearing footsteps coming from inside, Shi Bai immediately hid in the cart placed by the door.
His small body fit perfectly inside, and then the white cloth was laid out to block the view from the outside.
The nurse came out and pushed his car.
The car first went to the pharmacy, and after picking up the medicine, we took the elevator to the top floor.
The wheels of the stroller creaked and groaned, and Shi Bai's heart pounded. He prayed that he could just see Xiu and know that he was alright.
Just then, the cart stopped, and a gruff male voice asked, "Come here to change your dressing?"
"Yes."
"Wait a moment."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the white cloth covering the lower half of the cart was suddenly lifted...
