After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

After a busy week, Shen Yao planned to visit Wang Haiya over the weekend.

Although she was her biological mother, Shen Yao could never bring herself to call her "Mom" because she had never raised her for even a single day.

Wang Haiya was very sensible and never forced her to call her "Mom" after they recognized each other.

After examination, Wang Haiya was found to have injuries of varying degrees.

My left arm was broken by Shen Dequan. The cast was removed, and I am now doing some basic rehabilitation exercises.

Wang Haiya's body was covered in bruises, and her internal organs were bleeding from the beating. She is currently undergoing treatment and recuperation in an orderly manner.

only.....

"The patient has also experienced hallucinations, anxiety, and depression. We are now adjusting her medication according to her condition. As her family members, you should show her more care and concern."

"it is good."

Shen Yao looked at the medical record the doctor handed her, went to the bathroom, and lit a cigarette.

She has a smoking habit.

It was probably developed while studying in the United States.

However, he wasn't a heavy smoker.

She only smokes a couple of cigarettes occasionally when she encounters immense pressure, to relieve her tense nerves.

Ten minutes or so passed after I finished smoking one cigarette.

Shen Yao took out the bill from her medical record and saw that she owed 2 yuan.

Her bonus from a while ago was just deposited into her salary account yesterday.

After rinsing my mouth with mouthwash, I sprayed freshener into my mouth and stood outside the hospital courtyard for half an hour.

Only after making sure she wouldn't smell the cigarette smoke on her clothes did Shen Yao enter the ward.

Wang Haiya was lying motionless on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Hearing footsteps, she slowly turned her head.

When she saw that it was Shen Yao, Wang Haiya struggled to sit up with her still-functioning right hand, trying her best to force a smile.

Shen Yao quickly stepped forward, took her right arm, and helped her sit up.

Wang Haiya thanked her repeatedly.

They were polite and courteous to each other, like complete strangers.

Shen Yao smiled sadly: "Are you feeling better? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you."

Wang Haiya's smile was also bittersweet: "No need, the hospital's food cart will be brought over soon, just eat there, it's cheap and clean."

"I've come all this way to see you... Think about it, is there anything you particularly want to eat? I'll go buy it for you, just to give you some extra nutrition."

"It's really not necessary."

"Use it." Shen Yao's tone was firm and unwavering.

Wang Haiya was stunned, tears welling in her eyes, her nose tingling, and she turned her head away, "My hospitalization must have cost you a lot of money. It must have been very difficult for you to leave the Gu family with nothing, but I've also dragged you down with me..."

As she continued, she couldn't go on; tears streamed down her face like a kite with a broken string.

Shen Yao knew what Wang Haiya was worried about.

She explained gently, "I'm only 26 years old. I have hands and feet, an education, a diploma, and the ability to earn money. You don't need to worry about these medical expenses. What you need to do now is focus on getting better, okay?"

Wang Haiya still had her head turned to the side, her tears already soaking her pillow.

When she spoke again, her voice had a strong nasal tone.

“Yaoyao, sometimes I think, if I died, would you be more at ease? At least you wouldn’t have to be threatened by that beast.”

Upon hearing that Wang Haiya had suicidal thoughts, Shen Yao's two slender, fair hands clenched into fists little by little.

"You're not allowed to die! You gave birth to me without my consent and then abandoned me! Now you're going to abandon me again without my consent? How can you be so selfish?"
