Jiang Mian felt somewhat helpless after hearing Gong Yan's message. It wasn't until she arrived at Lu Bozhou's ward that Jiang Mian had time to reply to her.

'I didn't plan on dating him anyway.'

Gong Yan: 'You're just pitying him. He's all alone, no one cares for him, he's so pathetic.'

Jiang Mian looked at Gong Yan's message and realized she was right.

'Yes, that's it.'

Jiang Mian thought Gong Yan sent this message because she understood her intentions, but who knew...

Gong Yan: 'A beautiful woman's misfortune begins when she feels sorry for a man!'

Jiang Mian fell silent.

As she entered the ward, she met the eyes of the man on the bed. He was staring intently at the door, waiting for her to come in.

"Mianmian, are you hungry? Do you want some...?"

Lu Bozhou's voice was still a little hoarse, but before he could finish speaking, Jiang Mian turned to look at Song Xu, "Nothing should happen now, right?"

“Hmm.” Song Xu knew that Lu Bozhou only wanted Jiang Mian to stay, but to be fair, “His attending physician has already explained the precautions to him.”

"Then I'll be going now." Jiang Mian looked at Lu Bozhou and could clearly see the light in his eyes gradually dimming. "You should get some rest."

Lu Bozhou opened his mouth as if to ask him to stay, but after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Okay, I'll have Xiao Chen take you back."

Jiang Mian slowly walked out of the ward. After stepping out the door, she stopped and leaned against the wall by the door, letting out a long sigh.

In fact, Gong Yan was right. She did feel that Lu Bozhou was all alone and pitiful with no one to take care of him.

Realizing this, Jiang Mian felt a sense of disappointment in herself. She never expected that after so long, she would experience two lifetimes by a twist of fate, suffering countless hardships.

She still couldn't control her heart and felt reluctant to treat this person.

She was the one who was covered in wounds; every cut to her heart was inflicted by his own hand.

But she still couldn't bear to leave this man.

That was truly embarrassing.

Jiang Mian stood at the door for a while, composed herself, and then prepared to leave.

As soon as I took a step, I heard Song Xu and Lu Bozhou talking inside.

Song Xu: "You really let her go? If you had begged her, Jiang Mian would probably have stayed because she's soft-hearted. After all, she stayed outside the operating room the moment you went in. She cares about you."

Lu Bozhou was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I know."

He knew her all too well.

Song Xu: "Then why don't you try your best to keep her? She's already had surgery, why don't you try something funny..."

Lu Bozhou sighed softly, "I didn't intend to use this as a ploy, nor did I intend to use it to blackmail her."

"Hmm?" Song Xu was somewhat surprised, after all, he was quite aware of Lu Bozhou's obsession.

"I originally wanted to have a more reasonable reason to accompany her during her rehabilitation, since I still have some nails and plates in my body that haven't been removed."

Lu Bozhou spoke in a low voice, a slight smile playing on his lips, "We have plenty of time together, no rush."

Song Xu laughed, "You'd better really not be in a hurry."

“She endured so much back then, and I’m only at the very beginning,” Lu Bozhou said.

"Alright, poor thing, then you only have me again," Song Xu said with a smile.

Lu Bozhou: "Just get me some painkillers later."

Listening to the conversation coming from inside, Jiang Mian slowly walked towards the elevator, leaning on her elbow.

After returning home, her parents came over with concern and asked her all sorts of questions. Not wanting to worry them, Jiang Mian explained everything in detail.

As a result, Lu Chaochi, who had just been picked up by his uncle and was changing his shoes in the entryway, heard this and kicked his shoes off in a hurry.

She ran into the house with heavy footsteps.

“My dad… my dad he…” Lu Chaochi looked at Jiang Mian with worry.

Jiang Mian sighed softly, "He had surgery, and it's all done. There was no danger. They just removed the plaque that was put in during his previous fracture surgery."

"I want to see my dad," Lu Chaochi said. "Can my uncle take me?"

Jiang Mian stared at the child for a moment, and perhaps it was this fixed gaze that made Lu Chaochi feel a little uneasy.

Jiang Mian didn't remain silent for long. She took a deep breath and said, "I'll take you there."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaochi's eyes lit up immediately. No child doesn't want their parents to be together.

Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment, "Isn't it necessary? I can take Xiao Chi there. Your leg is still not very convenient right now."

Jiang Mian looked at Lu Chaochi and said, "Go inside, change your clothes, and wash your hands. We'll go after dinner later."

Lu Chaochi nodded quickly and walked back to his room with light, bouncy steps.

As soon as he entered the room, his parents and Jiang Yu all looked at Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "I know you're worried, but you saw it too. When the little guy came into the room just now, he was so happy he could hardly contain himself. I don't intend to cut ties with him completely, not even for the sake of the child. So it's better not to worry about it so much. I'll just go if I have to, and let things take their course."

Song Wan thought for a moment, "Your father and I didn't mean anything by it, we just want you to be happy."

Jiang Shan nodded, "As long as you don't feel pressured, you can go wherever you want. We support you."

Jiang Yu pursed his lips and said, "I can't forgive him, but as long as my sister is happy, that's all that matters."

After the meal, Song Wan packed some food in a thermos for them to take with them.

Lu Chaochi carefully carried the thermos and got into the car with Jiang Mian, heading towards the hospital.

On the way, the child bit her lip and whispered, "Mommy, will you be sad?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Mian looked down at the child. "Why do you ask that?"

“I’m worried that you don’t want to see him, but you have to come with me, and then you’ll be sad all by yourself. I don’t want you to be sad,” Lu Chaochi said softly.

This softened Jiang Mian's heart.

"I'm not sad. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to see him during his surgery." Jiang Mian gently stroked his soft hair. "You don't need to be so careful about what I think. I won't be sad because you want to see him."

Lu Chaochi was relieved and started asking Jiang Mian a series of questions.

Why are you taking apart the metal? What metal is it? Is titanium alloy so powerful? Is Dad trying to turn into a robot...?

So the journey passed quickly amidst the child's constant chatter.

When he got out of the car, Lu Chaochi was still a little excited, his mind still filled with topics like titanium alloys and robots.

When he entered the ward, he saw his father on the hospital bed with his wound wrapped in gauze and an IV drip in his eye.

The excitement vanished instantly, and her steps became hurried, her eyes filled with worry and sadness.

Hearing footsteps, Lu Bozhou slowly opened his eyes and saw his son carrying a thermal lunchbox as he entered.

A gentle smile appeared on her lips. "Why are you here? Who brought you here...?"

Lu Bozhou's words were cut short as he heard the familiar tapping sound.

That was the sound of someone using their elbow to support themselves on the ground.
