Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan exchanged looks . Following this, Qiao Lian jumped off the bed and walked to the door . She looked out through the peephole .
As she looked through, she caught Xia Yehua’s magnified eye looking back and it gave her a fright .
Then, she saw Xia Yehua hovering around for a bit before placing her ear to the door .
Qiao Lian blinked and made a hush signal to Shen Liangchuan .
Shen Liangchuan stayed silent .
After a while, probably thinking that they had gone to bed, Xia Yehua tip-toed quietly back to her own room .
Not too long afterwards, she walked out again, dressed up, and headed downstairs
Seeing this, it didn’t take much for Qiao Lian to guess where she was going .
After all, Xia Yehua had looked after Song Yuanxi for the last eight years and the strong bond between them was a given .

Indeed, Xia Yehua had sneaked off to the hospital .
She headed straight for Song Yuanxi’s ward . Upon entering the ward, she saw Song Yuanxi sitting there staring blankly into space .
The girl turned as she heard the sound of someone entering .
Her tiny face was pale, without blood .
Her frail figure in the white and roomy hospital gown made her look like a walking corpse . She was almost just skin and bones .
Xia Yehua’s heart softened immediately when she looked at the girl .
With reddened eyes, she took a step towards Song Yuanxi .
Her lips trembled as she barely managed to call out the girl’s name, “Yuanxi…”

At once, Song Yuanxi’s tears started to roll down her cheeks .
Ignoring her own broken leg, she tried to stand up .
When Xia Yehua saw this, she hurriedly walked up to the girl and held her hands .
Song Yuanxi immediately collapsed into the woman’s embrace, crying, “Auntie!”
Xia Yehua sighed as she held the girl . “Yuanxi, why did you do this?! You silly child . No matter what, you must not take your own life, do you understand?”
Song Yuanxi only cried and did not utter a word .
Xia Yehua then looked at her and said after a pause, “Yuanxi, you switched Xiao Qiao’s birth control drug?”
Song Yuanxi bit her lip and hung her head . “Auntie, are you very disappointed in me?”
Xia Yehua sighed again . “You’ve always been a gentle and kind girl . I cannot believe that you would do such things . Yuanxi, what is wrong?”

Song Yuanxi clenched her fists tightly and looked at her after a pause . “Auntie, I don’t want to go abroad!”
Then, she started crying again after saying this .
She grasped Xia Yehua’s hands tightly and said, “Auntie, can you please help talk Brother Liangchuan around? I admit I was wrong, I don’t want to leave!”
Xia Yehua withdrew her hands when she heard this .
Song Yuanxi froze at this gesture, and she immediately looked at the elderly woman . “Auntie…”
Xia Yehua stared at her and reached out to tuck the girl’s hair behind her ear . “Yuanxi, if you’ve done something wrong, then you’ll have to accept the punishment . ”
Song Yuanxi’s pupils shrank as she heard these words .
Xia Yehua continued, “It might be a good thing for you to spend a few years abroad and wait until the matter blows over . And when everyone’s more mature, you can come back again . How about that?”
Song Yuanxi’s tears continued to stream down her cheeks .
She knew that Xia Yehua was a woman of principles .
There was only so much she would do to help .
She nodded .
Then she said, “Auntie, I need to go to the bathroom . ”
Xia Yehua nodded .
Minutes passed and suddenly, she realized… Song Yuanxi had been gone a little too long!
Xia Yehua immediately stood up and went to the bathroom . Pushing the bathroom door open, she discovered to her dismay that there was no one there!
