Li Cui was lying disheveled in the hospital corridor, throwing a tantrum. She grabbed Su Nuannuan by the collar, demanding an explanation. Su Nuannuan turned pale with fright and tried to break free, but Li Cui's hands were like iron clamps, impossible to loosen. The doctors and nurses around tried to step forward to persuade her, but they were also frightened away by Li Cui's crazy and unreasonable behavior.

"Have you lost your conscience? My son kidnapped you, but he didn't harm you. Now you're standing here perfectly fine, but my son is going to jail because of you. Why should he?!"

Su Nuannuan was clearly the victim, but Li Cui turned the tables and accused her of being the victim, a claim that even the doctors and patients watching the drama unfold found utterly distasteful.

Xu Tian rushed forward and forcefully pulled Su Nuannuan, whose clothes were being torn by Li Cui, to his side, protecting her behind him.

When Li Cui saw Xu Tian turn back, her momentum didn't diminish but instead became even more excessive.

"You said you weren't coming back? What are you doing back? Let me tell you, if you don't give my son an explanation today, nobody will have a good time!"

Xu Tian coldly watched as she picked up her phone and called the police.

"Hey, there's trouble at the Municipal People's Hospital..."

Seeing that he still dared to call the police, Li Cui was furious and tried to rush over to snatch his phone, but Xu Tian slapped her to the ground.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Tian's eyes were indifferent. "The police will be here soon. If you insist on doing this, I don't mind sending you and your son to jail together!"

"You damned Xu Tian, ​​I'm your mother-in-law! How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of retribution?!" Li Cui roared hoarsely.

Xu Tian sneered, "I haven't seen my retribution yet, but yours will be coming soon!"

As soon as she finished speaking, uniformed police officers arrived at the scene and quickly restrained Li Cui, who was causing trouble.

Li Cui kicked and punched wildly like a madwoman, but to no avail. Even after being dragged away by the police, she did not forget to utter a harsh threat to Xu Tian.

"As long as you don't arrest me, you won't have a day of peace!"

After Li Cui was taken away, the surrounding doctors and patients looked at Xu Tian and Su Nuannuan with sympathy. What kind of sins did they commit in their past lives to end up with such a woman? Fortunately, everyone was kind-hearted and did not blame the two for their undeserved misfortune.

Su Nuannuan returned to the ward still shaken. Her first concern was not that she would continue to be harassed by Li Cui, but that Su Zhen and the other patients in the hospital would not be able to bear it if things continued like this.

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let her continue to harass you here," Xu Tian said confidently.

Su Nuannuan nodded with lingering fear, "I was just worried that other patients and their families would have objections. You saw it for yourself just now, she's practically a madwoman."

Just then, the head nurse walked in, looked at Xu Tian with the eyes of someone who had been through it all, and then smiled.

"What a good man, young lady! You're so lucky to have such a protective boyfriend!"

Su Nuannuan looked at Xu Tian with a puzzled expression. Xu Tian gave her an apologetic smile, as he really didn't know how to explain the situation at the time.

Then the head nurse added, "These days, there aren't many men as good as your boyfriend. You have to cherish him and hold on to him, or someone else will snatch him away."

Su Nuannuan's face was flushed, and her heart was racing. She didn't know what made the head nurse think that Xu Tian was her boyfriend, but judging from Xu Tian's reaction, he didn't deny it. Could it be that he had also developed new feelings for her?

Thinking of this, Su Nuannuan gradually became shy. The head nurse chuckled when she saw this. "Why are you being shy? I've been there. I can tell what kind of person someone is at a glance. Besides, it's normal for young people to date. There's no need to hide it."

The more Su Nuannuan talked, the redder her face became, and she became even more embarrassed.

"No, Brother Xu Tian just..."

"No, it's nothing. He told us about it when he was doing research in the department. There's no need to hide this kind of thing. Your dad won't object if he knows you have such an excellent boyfriend. If my daughter could find such a good man, I'd be laughing in my sleep!"

As the head nurse smiled, she performed a basic examination on Su Zhen. Xu Tian suddenly felt that time was passing very slowly. He was afraid that if the head nurse continued talking, the two of them would get married and enter the bridal chamber on the spot.

When Su Nuannuan heard the head nurse say that Xu Tian had admitted that she was his girlfriend, she was completely lost in thought, as if in a dream.

Xu Tian actually said he was her girlfriend. This was something she never dared to imagine. If it was true, it proved that Xu Tian liked her. It was just that Chu Lan confessed to him first, and Xu Tian was such a good person that he couldn't refuse, so the two of them got together.

"Your basic condition is pretty good. If you keep this up, you should wake up tonight," the head nurse kindly reminded her.

"Really?" Su Nuannuan jumped up from her chair excitedly.

The head nurse nodded. "Would I lie to you? But once the patient wakes up, you need to tell our attending physician as soon as possible so we can proceed with the next steps of care."

After giving her instructions, the head nurse watched the two leave with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

Xu Tianzhen felt a chill run down her spine. Why were all the people in this hospital so gossipy? Gossiping was one thing, but to do it directly in front of the person involved was another. This misunderstanding was going to get much worse.

Just as he was thinking this, Xu Tian noticed that Su Nuannuan was looking at him with an expectant yet shy gaze.

"Brother Xu Tian, ​​is what she...she was saying true? Did you really say that in front of them?"

Xu Tian didn't know how to answer her question. He couldn't just say it was a misunderstanding, could he? Su Nuannuan was already upset because of Su Zhen's matter. If he told her the truth, she would probably feel even worse.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian quickly changed the subject, "By the way, it's already this late and I still haven't gone out to buy food. Wait for me..."

After saying that, Xu Tian quickly slipped away, but Su Nuannuan took his behavior as an attempt to avoid admitting his feelings and fled. She felt even more excited and hopeful, but then she thought again, regardless of whether Xu Tian truly liked her, the fact remained that he already had a girlfriend. She couldn't very well become the third party who ruined someone else's relationship…

Thinking of this, Su Nuannuan felt melancholy again.

Su Nuannuan came to this city because of her background, but she had been waiting in the coffee shop for three hours and still hadn't seen the person who sent her the text message. She was also afraid of being exposed by Xu Tian. In the end, she had no choice but to call the person who sent the text message.

After the call connected, the voice was clearly processed, like a computer-generated sound. The more processed it was, the heavier Chu Lan's heart became. This meant that the person who knew her background did not want her to know who they were. This made Chu Lan even more certain that this person was someone she knew!
