"Xixi, try to eat more vegetables..." She picked up a few pieces of vegetables with her chopsticks and forced herself to eat a few bites. Somehow, she caught a whiff of raw oil. She had hardly eaten anything properly for two days and was already feeling quite nauseous. This smell made her feel even worse, and she couldn’t help but dry-heave. "Mr. Wan, I’m sorry. You go ahead and eat." She put down her bowl and chopsticks, turned, and ran upstairs. In the bathroom, she dry-heaved again. Her stomach was empty. Aside from the hot tea she had just sipped, nothing came out. After a while, she staggered out to see Wan Donglin standing at the door. She had no idea how long he had been there. Under the light, her face had rapidly grown gaunt. Her once jade-like complexion seemed to have vanished overnight, replaced by a lifeless, sallow hue. She noticed his expression and instinctively turned her face away. This was the tragedy of one judged by her looks. At critical moments, men weren’t concerned about your pain; they were repulsed by your sudden ugliness. She turned and ran to the bed, practically diving under the covers and pulling them completely over her head. Despite still feeling nauseous, she forcibly suppressed her discomfort. "Xixi, get up. I’ll take you to the hospital." He repeated this three times before she slowly pulled back her covers. "Mr. Wan, there’s no doctor available at night." "I know some doctors. I’ll call them." "Can’t we go tomorrow?" "Well, let’s go tomorrow then." He glanced at her. "That’s fine. We can go tomorrow." In the middle of the night, she got up to go to the bathroom. She didn’t turn on the light, stumbling in groggily. Her throat was still terribly dry, parched even. Unable to bear it, she groped her way downstairs to pour some water. She had just taken a few sips when the corridor light suddenly switched on. The cup slipped from her trembling hand and crashed onto the floor. Wan Donglin strode downstairs, frowning slightly. "Why didn’t you turn on the light when you came downstairs? If you wanted water, couldn’t you have just called for someone to get it for you?" She kept her head down, her face turning increasingly pale. Another wave of nausea hit her. She couldn’t hold it back and dry-heaved yet again. Wan Donglin swiftly grabbed her. "Come on, I’m taking you to the hospital." She suddenly pushed his hand away vehemently. "Get off me!" He was taken aback. "Xixi, what’s wrong?" "Stop throwing a tantrum. I’m taking you to the hospital. Let’s go, I’ll accompany you right away..." "I won’t go!" Follow current novels on NoveIＦire.net "You’re throwing up . We must go immediately!" He grabbed her arm. "Let’s go. I’ll accompany you." "The doctor said the anesthesiologist isn’t on duty at night." "Why do you need an anesthesiologist? If there’s a need, I’ll arrange for it. Whatever doctor you want, you’ll have." Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. "Why does it have to be tonight? Can’t it be next Wednesday? Wan Donglin, can’t you wait these few days? Are you that eager to see me dead?" "Then why does it have to be next Wednesday?" Anger surged within her, and she pushed him away forcefully. "Do you think I want to cling to you? Do you think I’m using this as an excuse to extort more money from you? I’ve already told you this was an accident! I have no idea why such an absurd thing happened. But I’ve said I’ll go next Wednesday, and I mean it! The surgery fee is already paid. Do you think I’m trying to trick you? Why must you force me to go tonight? If you don’t trust me, then send someone to watch me. Have them go with me. Wouldn’t that solve it? I just don’t want to go to the hospital tonight. Is that so wrong? The doctor said there’s no anesthesiologist on duty at night, so they can’t administer anesthesia. If I have to have the surgery now, I’ll have to clench my teeth and bear the pain myself. It would be excruciating! I’m scared of pain, so I want to wait until daylight. Is that not allowed? Even if you think of me as something you bought with your money, I am still a person! Wan Donglin, I am a living, breathing human being! Why must you push me so relentlessly?"
