Chapter 159 I hope he stays sick and doesn't get better.

Women don't have many paths to choose from to begin with, and if they keep picking and choosing, they'll really fall into other people's traps.

Li Qingqing immediately became alert: "You're right, I still need to go to the hospital. I'll breastfeed Tuantuan first, and we'll go together after he falls asleep."

The child was at a time when he needed to sleep a lot, and soon after drinking the milk, he became drowsy. Li Qingqing put the child inside, gave Song Zhaodi a few more instructions, and then got up to ask for money.

In the past few days, Song Zhaodi has learned some things about Li Qingqing's situation. The man in her family is useless. Even though they are already married, he still cheats on her with other women.

Her own marriage was a complete mess, and she didn't know how to comfort others, but seeing that Li Qingqing didn't take it to heart at all made her feel a little better.

A smile crept onto her lips. Following people with a broader perspective meant she would learn more. She needed to be more open-minded; life was already hard enough. If she didn't let herself off the hook, her life would be too miserable.

Shu Ying and Li Qingqing walked together, enjoying the shade along the way, and both of them were in a pretty good mood.

"I heard Xie Zhiyan is about to be discharged from the hospital. If you need any help then, just let me know. Although I can't do anything else, I can still help with the welcome dinner."

The discharge of patients is something to celebrate. After they came to the capital, they relied on each other and almost became one person.

Shu Ying didn't stand on ceremony with her: "Okay, he can get out of bed now, probably within the next day or two. How's Duan Huaichuan's situation? He's been awake for so many days, and I haven't heard any news about his injuries improving?"

Li Qingqing waved her hand dismissively, her voice also somewhat nonchalant: "I don't know what happened, but his injury is even more serious than before. Zhong Yun'er goes to the hospital to take care of him every day. I was thinking that he would be discharged soon, but this is good, so that we don't have to live in the same courtyard and I will feel annoyed by him."

Shu Ying was dumbfounded. The person was already in the hospital, so how could the condition be getting worse?

"Is Duan Huaichuan's health that bad? When he woke up, the doctor said there wasn't anything seriously wrong. Xie Zhiyan is about to be discharged, so why does he have to stay in the hospital for so long?"

In the hospital ward, Duan Huaichuan was pale and seething with anger. The nurse carefully treated the wound on his forehead and offered some helpless advice.

"Why don't you just stay here and exercise in the corridor? You should be able to be discharged, but you keep getting injured every few days. You bump into something here today and fall down there tomorrow. If this continues, you might never be able to leave this ward in your entire life."

Zhong Yun'er had no experience in taking care of people, but she was also very diligent. Early in the morning, she volunteered to help Duan Huaichuan go for a walk.

Having not seen Li Qingqing all day, Duan Huaichuan was in no mood to go out, but he couldn't bear to disappoint her. So, he endured the pain and went for a walk outside, hoping that he might see Li Qingqing when he came back.

But less than ten minutes after they went out, Zhong Yun'er clumsily stepped on his left foot. He had an injury on his left leg. Not only that, she apologized hastily and immediately moved her foot away, but unexpectedly, she also let go of his hand.

Duan Huaichuan was still recovering, and without the support of his strength, he fell to the ground.

Zhong Yun'er rushed to help him up, but tripped over his leg and fell heavily onto Duan Huaichuan.

His arm, which had just begun to recover, was fractured again, and he also suffered a new head injury.

Zhong Yun'er looked aggrieved: "Huaichuan, I just wanted to take you out more often, maybe it will help your health. I didn't mean to make you like this. If you don't want to see me, I will never come again."

Duan Huaichuan closed his eyes, afraid that the swear words he couldn't suppress would slip out.

His face contorted in a grimace, but the complaint that was about to come out turned into a consolation.

"Forget it, you're not born to serve others. You're not like Li Qingqing. It's not your fault. You have to take care of the child every day and come to the hospital to take care of me. It's really hard on you. Next time, you just need to come and talk to me. You don't need to do anything else."

The more you do, the more mistakes you make.

Today he bumped his head and broke his arm. Yesterday, Zhong Yun'er accidentally tore his clothes in front of so many people. Now he's becoming the laughing stock of the entire hospital. This morning in his ward, he could hear doctors and nurses talking about what had happened recently.

He had never been so humiliated on the battlefield. Now, in the hospital, thanks to Zhong Yun'er, he was practically a celebrity.

Jiang Fu simply turned his back, his shoulders trembling. He couldn't laugh too openly in front of the victims.

All of this was Duan Huaichuan's own fault. Who told him to eat at the expense of two women? Even if he had the appetite, he might not have been able to handle it. The love of two women is not so easy to control, and he might end up shooting himself in the foot.

Zhong Yun'er's voice was tinged with grievance: "I, I really didn't mean to, it's all my fault for not knowing anything."

The more she talked, the more irritated Duan Huaichuan became. People are most afraid of comparisons, so he lay on the bed with his eyes closed, not wanting to look at Zhong Yun'er.

If she had any sense, she would have better leave quickly. These past few days, the two of them had been together day and night, but there was none of the sweetness that Duan Huaichuan had imagined; only the last vestiges of his illusions had shattered.

Zhong Yun'er was just a fantasy in his heart before, but after getting her, he found that she was not so good at all. In comparison, Li Qingqing was more suitable for a life together.

They've been married for so long, and Li Qingqing has never caused him any trouble at home. It's no exaggeration to say that he can truly rest easy.

If Zhong Yun'er hadn't suddenly appeared, he wouldn't have ignored Li Qingqing for so long. Thinking about it, a whole morning had passed and Li Qingqing still hadn't arrived, making Duan Huaichuan even more irritable.

"Knock knock knock—"

As he was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door. Li Qingqing came in from outside the ward. Zhong Yun'er felt inexplicably guilty. She was afraid that Li Qingqing would find out that she was the one who had caused Duan Huaichuan to be in this state. She hurriedly stood up from her chair.

"Huaichuan, you should get some rest first. I'll come see you again tomorrow when I have time."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have two wheels of fire under her feet and fled as if she were escaping.

Li Qingqing touched her face with one hand, completely puzzled: "Why does she run away as soon as she sees me? Do I look scary?"

Before, Zhong Yun'er would always act arrogantly towards her, so why is she now behaving like a coward?
