How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?

After dinner, Lin Xuedong finally made a video call.

Liu Sisi answered the phone eagerly, her gaze fixed on the man in the camera lens.

He was still wearing his sharp suit and sat quietly by the window.

The night outside the window was deep, but the lights in the ward were bright and clear, which made his haggard and tired face look very clear.

Liu Sisi's heart clenched for no reason, and she asked bitterly, "Lanlan, how... is she?"

“After Lanlan woke up, she was in a daze…” Lin Xuedong lowered his eyes, his emotions unreadable. “The doctor said she has severe depression.”

Then, that barely perceptible sigh still penetrated Liu Sisi's ear with unparalleled expressiveness.

"So, you'll be staying there for the next couple of days?" Her voice was muffled.

Lin Xuedong paused, his eyes changing slightly, but he remained silent, pursing his lips.

He didn't know how to answer.

The worst symptoms of severe depression include memory impairment and self-harm tendencies.

When Lin Lan lay on the hospital bed, her face as white as a sheet and her eyes vacant; when he saw the shocking wound on her wrist, Lin Xuedong couldn't deceive himself about the self-blame and grief he felt.

"Sisi, I'm sorry. I can't leave Lanlan in this state. She keeps having nightmares and then wakes up crying."

He closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, his eyes filled with a mixture of guilt and love.

Finally, he straightened his neck, took a deep breath, and said, "Once Lanlan is feeling better, I'll definitely come home to be with you and make it up to you, okay?"

Despite wearing a coat, Liu Sisi still felt as if a draft had entered her body, leaving her feeling chilled all over.

Fortunately, she was taking the video call in the study, and her phone happened to be propped up on the table. Otherwise, her extremely unnatural trembling would have been obvious to the man.

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Not knowing what to say, I could only offer a dry, "I know, and you should take care of yourself too."

Seeing Liu Sisi nod mechanically, Lin Xuedong's heart tightened suddenly.

"Sisi!" He called out to her, his voice hoarse. "I know... I broke my promise. I swore to you that I would never let Lanlan disturb our lives, but in the end, I still couldn't keep my word!"

"Believe me"

Lin Xuedong suddenly felt that these three words were utterly meaningless, and he himself was extremely tired of them.

His eyes stung, and he couldn't continue.

Lin Xuedong couldn't remember who hung up first. He stared at the photo of himself and Liu Sisi on his phone's screensaver, feeling a mix of emotions.

He knew that woman was struggling and heartbroken again, but he couldn't bear to leave Lin Lan; it was a matter of life and death.

Hey……

After hastily hanging up the video call, Liu Sisi sat blankly at her desk.

She couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.

Major depression?

Thinking of Lin Lan's outburst in the office and the things she said, I felt both pained and disgusted.

At this moment, Lin Xuedong had to keep an eye on Lin Lan while also worrying about Liu Sisi. He felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss from which he could not extricate himself.

Lin Lan's condition often relapses. When she is lucid, she will not speak and will remain silent, seemingly in a state of utter despair. When she is in a daze, she will grab him and cry, saying that he is the only family she recognizes, and insist on going home.

As the days went by, Lin Xuedong became increasingly exhausted.

It was Liu Sisi's routine prenatal checkup day. Before leaving home, her phone rang.

In the ward,

Lin Lan's shocked gaze lingered on the woman before her for a long time. She noticed the woman's clothes had become much more elegant, her hair was shoulder-length, and...

"Sisi, what happened?"

Lin Lan couldn't believe that Liu Sisi was already six months pregnant. She looked even more beautiful than before, and her temperament was quite different.

The same questioning gaze swept over Lin Lan's face. Liu Sisi frowned, seemingly unable to discern her expression or eyes.

Has Lin Lan really forgotten all their past entanglements?

After a long pause, she finally spoke calmly: "You really can't remember?"

Lin Lan shook her head blankly, her brows furrowed, looking puzzled and uneasy. "My brother has been by my side all this time, but he hasn't told me what's been going on. If it weren't for the emergency at the company today, I wouldn't have had a chance to contact you."

After saying that, she waved her wrist, which was still wrapped in gauze, at Liu Sisi, her eyes wide.

"Tell me, how could I have committed suicide?"

"Could it be that he found out I like him?"

"So, I was rejected, and I'm feeling hopeless?"

Seeing Lin Lan's face visibly paler, Liu Sisi's heart sank. She dug her nails into her fingertips, gritting her teeth but not intending to respond immediately.

Lin Lan clutched her head, muttering in anguish, "Could it really be like that...? What should I do?"

She seemed unwilling to believe it, because it was too cruel for her.

However, when she looked up and her gaze fell once again on Liu Sisi's protruding belly, a sense of unease welled up inside her.

She even began to suspect that Liu Sisi and Lin Xuedong were hesitant to speak in front of her, and that they both had some unspeakable secrets!

These questions weighed heavily on her mind.

"Sisi, tell me the truth..." Lin Lan clenched her fists, determined to get to the bottom of this.

Then, she threw off the covers and got out of bed.

But just then, a sharp headache struck, forcing her to stop and slowly squat down, supporting her head.

"Ugh—! This damn headache!" Lin Lan cursed, pounding her head hard.

She knew that if things continued like this, she would never get the truth.

So, gritting her teeth against her headache, she struggled to stand up, holding onto the bed railing, and reached out to grab Liu Sisi, panting heavily.

Liu Sisi was startled and quickly backed away. "Lanlan, calm down!"

Lin Lan stared at Liu Sisi, her eyes bloodshot: "Sisi, tell me the truth, whose child is it? Are you hiding something from me?"

Just as Lin Lan was staring intently at Liu Sisi, and the air seemed to freeze, the ward door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".

Lin Xuedong rushed in, his face full of anxiety.

The dappled shadows of the trees outside the window pierced through the glass and formed irregular patches of light on the floor of the ward, but they brought no comfort to the three people inside.

The moment Lin Lan saw Lin Xuedong, her body went limp and she swayed precariously.

"Lanlan——"

Lin Xuedong instinctively rushed over and caught her, his eyes flashing with a complex mix of emotions.

Lin Lan's grievances surged like a tidal wave, while a sliver of hope flickered in her heart like a weak flame in the wind. "Brother, tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Why is Sisi pregnant? Do you know whose child it is?"

Her voice trembled violently, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they might burst forth at any moment.

Lin Xuedong's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze shifting between Lin Lan and Liu Sisi, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes. "Lanlan, calm down first."
