In the end, he did not turn around and leave immediately, but continued to stand there scrutinizing her every expression and every move, seemingly still not giving up on leaving, until there was a knock at the door, at which point he had no choice but to go and open the door.

"what's up?"

He asked coldly, his voice low and wary.

The person outside whispered a few words into his ear; the voice was soft, but the information seemed substantial.

A slight ripple appeared on Li Siyuan's previously calm face, but this change was fleeting.

He then regained his usual calm demeanor, nodded slightly, and replied indifferently, "Okay, I understand."

Then, he turned his gaze to Shen Xuan inside the room and said with a tone of entrustment and determination, "You stay here and take good care of her. I have some important matters to attend to outside."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and strode away, leaving only the sound of hurried footsteps fading into the distance.

As the light streamed in through the window, Shen Xuan watched that familiar yet unfamiliar figure gradually disappear at the end of the corridor until even the shadow could no longer be seen. Only then did she let out a soft sigh, her tense emotions finally easing.

Then, she carefully reached into her pocket and pulled out a cell phone.

As the screen lit up, a line of text appeared – a message from Cheng Lu.

At this moment, despite trying hard to discern the meaning behind those characters, the words became increasingly blurred due to the tears, making them almost impossible to recognize.

Although many mysteries remained in her mind, she ultimately lacked the strength to pursue or ponder them further.

Finally, after casting one last glance toward the door, the communication device in her hand slowly slid to the bedside. Accompanied by waves of drowsiness, Shen Xuan slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Time seemed to slip away quietly during the night, and when the morning light shone into the room again, it was already the next morning.

Just as she was still drifting off to sleep, there was a soft knock on the door and Li Shulian’s gentle and concerned voice: “Xiao Xuan, I brought you some hot food. Eat something to warm yourself up.”

Soon after, Li Siyuan sat quietly by her side, watching over her, until he heard a noise before approaching the bedside to check.

His expression remained stern, with a hint of worry showing between his brows.

As for physical sensations, apart from a general feeling of weakness, there are no other noticeable discomforts. Of course, this does not mean a full recovery; at least for now, I cannot be described as feeling energetic.

After struggling to sit up, she found a bowl of carefully prepared food placed in front of her, which had been brought to her by the person next to her.

Seeing the other person roll up their sleeves as if to help feed her, she was touched. Without much formality, she took the bowl and chopsticks, sipped the warm soup a couple of times, and then ate the rest in one go.

As she put down the empty bowl, she looked up at the man in front of her and asked with some concern, "How is your daughter doing now?"

Upon hearing this question, Li Siyuan's face instantly darkened. After a moment of silence, he slowly replied, "At this stage, Weiwei's physical condition is relatively stable. However, according to the doctor, it is a rare genetic disease that requires long-term treatment and frequent blood transfusions to maintain her life. It is heartbreaking to think that she has to endure such torment at such a young age."

After saying this, a deep melancholy crept into his eyes.

Could there be a problem with Xin Xin's previous blood test results?

Otherwise, why would Weiwei have type B blood...?

He remembered that he personally accompanied Han Xin to her school physical examination on that day.

The medical examination report clearly stated that they were blood type A, but they were both blood type A, so how could Xiaowei have blood type B?

Such a young child has contracted a difficult-to-cure disease. It is unknown whether it is due to genetic issues, and whether it is inherited from Han Xin's father's family.

In any case, no such situation had ever occurred in the Li family for generations, and Li Shulian was quite certain that Han Xin's mother's lineage would never have a history of this disease.

Therefore, the only possible source is Han Xin's father.

Seeing Li Siyuan frowning and deep in thought, Shen Xuan gently asked, "Aren't you going to find Han Xin? After all, she's the child's biological mother. You should notify her immediately if the child gets this kind of illness."

Li Siyuan suddenly snapped out of his thoughts, rested his chin on his hand, sat there, and looked straight at Shen Xuan, asking, "Do you know where she is?"

"..."

Shen Xuan did not answer, but simply lowered her head.

Han Xin's decision was completely unexpected.

She actually abandoned her own flesh and blood, and it seems she has no intention of coming back.

Having experienced the blows of two failed marriages, one can only imagine the pain and turmoil she endured.

They could have married the man they loved and started a new life with their child, but instead chose to leave in such a resolute way.

This incident alone reveals that Han Xin's thoughts are truly unfathomable.

After trying so hard to conceive Li Siyuan's child, she ended up marrying another man, seemingly to get revenge on the husband who abandoned her.

Now that they're divorced, she's using this method to escape the past; this is simply incomprehensible.

"I'm planning a business trip abroad to inspect the branch office. Would you like to come with me?"

Li Siyuan suggested.

Recalling Cheng Lu's message, Li Siyuan couldn't help but ask a question. Although he knew in his heart that it was almost impossible, he still held a glimmer of hope that he could go with her.

"You're going on a business trip, can I come with you?"

In truth, he still hoped that the two of them could walk together.

She took out her phone and checked the time. The screen reminded her that she had an appointment. Thinking about her plans with Cheng Lu, she said, "Your business trip is for work. What would I do with you?"

Then he stood up unsteadily, trying to appear less weak and powerless despite not being fully recovered.

"I'm sorry, I have some important things to take care of, so I can't stay any longer."

As Shen Xuan spoke, she quickly put on her coat, then glanced at her schedule to confirm her next task before calmly walking toward the door.

No matter what happens, she will never show any wavering or weakness in front of Li Siyuan. On the contrary, even if she is in a bad mood, she would rather escape alone than stay by his side.
