However, his words made Xia Ximeng's eyes redden once more, and tears uncontrollably slipped down her cheeks.
Of course, because she lowered her head, Li Yuan didn't notice.
At this moment, Huo Yishan also returned.
As she walked into the ward and saw Li Yuan turning his head, she instinctively avoided eye contact.
Yet, Li Yuan walked towards her, pulling her into his embrace, his low and gentle voice resonating above her head, "Sorry, I didn't ignore your call on purpose, I was in a meeting and the phone was in the office."
Pressed against his warm chest, Huo Yishan stiffened. Despite facing his warmth and tenderness, her heart just couldn't find peace. In his arms, she couldn't stop crying, her hands tightly clutching the fabric of his shirt.
"Sob..."
Suddenly, she burst into tears, leaving him somewhat flustered and at a loss, feeling deeply pained.
"What's wrong?"
Watching her unable to stop crying, Xia Ximeng on the hospital bed couldn't help but feel worried.
