Mr. Fu, please stop being abusive. Madam has already signed the divorce papers.

In the hospital, Xie Shu was sitting beside Ilia's bed, gently holding her daughter's hand.

Ilia had just woken up, her face still pale, and she weakly called out, "Mom."

The doctor said that Ilia often fell into a deep sleep in recent days. This is normal. Sleep is a beneficial way to recuperate, especially in the case of brain injury.

"Ilia, you're awake. How do you feel? Are you still in pain?" Xie Shu asked with concern.

"It hurts... I feel uncomfortable all over. It's very uncomfortable." Ilia closed her eyes and said unbearably.

She could feel that she was seriously injured this time and the doctor could not make the pain go away all at once and she would not recover completely.

Xie Shu's eyes were full of heartache, and he gently stroked Ilia's hair, "It's all my fault. You got hurt so badly."

When Ilia was a child, she would throw herself into her arms and cry out in pain even when she got an injection.

How painful it must have been for her when she was hit by the motorcycle.

"Mom, don't say that," Ilia comforted Xie Shu. She glanced at the plaster on Xie Shu's other arm and asked in surprise, "Mom, are you hurt?"

"It's just a minor bone fracture, a minor injury. But for you, this is good news. Don't think too much about it. You must take care of yourself, okay?"

"Um……"

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then Ilia fell asleep again.

When Yan Huai arrived, Ilia was asleep and Xie Shu was sitting on the sofa resting.

He walked to the bedside, looked at Ilia's pale face, turned around and asked Xie Shu: "Mom, how is Ilia?"

Xie Shu: "He just woke up and seems to be in good spirits."

"That's good," Yan Huai said, "I just asked the doctor, and the doctor said that Ilia needs to rest for a few days and it's best not to see visitors. My second uncle knew that Ilia had a car accident and wanted to come and visit with Noah, but I refused."

"You did the right thing. Let's wait until Ilia's condition stabilizes."

Yan Huai looked at his mother's tired expression and said softly, "Mom, you go back and rest first. I'll stay here. I'll let you know when Ilia wakes up."

"No need, my injury is not serious. It doesn't matter where I rest." Xie Shu said.

Here, when Ilia wakes up, I will be able to see her the first time, which should make me feel more at ease.

Xie Shu remembered something and continued, "Before the Spring Festival, your father called Fu Zheng and told him that he would send Carol to stay for a few days after the Lantern Festival. I guess she will leave in the next two days."

"Carol is too young, and there are too many germs in the hospital. It's not good for her to stay here all the time. We can't take care of her for the time being. Should we let Carol wait a few days before coming back?"

She could be taken care of by servants, but that would defeat the original purpose of bringing her here.

Yan Huai shook his head gently: "No need, by the time she arrives, Ilia should be much better than she is now. You can accompany Carol to rest at home, or go out for a walk, don't stay in the hospital all the time, Dad should be able to take time to accompany Carol."

Xie Shu frowned and said disapprovingly, "Caesar, are you afraid that I'm too worried about Ilia and won't be willing to send her away?"

Hearing this, Yan Huai looked at Ilia and confirmed that she was really asleep, then said, "Mom, I'm just worried about you. You also said that there are too many germs in the hospital. You are not young anymore and your body has always been weak. Now you are injured. It is better for you to go home and rest. If some virus takes advantage of the opportunity to enter, it will be more trouble than gain."

Xie Shu: “…”

Yan Huai sighed, raised his hand and pinched his brows, and said softly, "Mom, is it because you think that I am an incompetent brother, so you think this way?"

"Caesar, I didn't mean that..." Xie Shu realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained, "You are very good to Ilia. Your father and I have seen it. It was mom who misunderstood you."

Xie Shu felt extremely guilty.

Since Caesar came back, he has been very tolerant towards Ilia and has helped Ilia solve many problems. Last time in Jiangcheng, it was because Ilia went too far that Caesar had to punish her, but he has also tried his best to protect Ilia. Otherwise, if things got out of hand and legal procedures were taken, Ilia would not just be detained.

Look at Ilia again. Not only did she not know she was wrong, she also pretended to be sick and framed Caesar. Caesar let bygones be bygones and helped her find a psychologist. However, Ilia colluded with others for her own selfish desires and intended to kick Caesar out of the family's power center.

Caesar, as a brother, has been very good to Ilia. How could she miss him so much?

Yan Huai lowered his eyes, hiding the sad look in his eyes, pulled the corners of his lips, and said, "Mom, if you don't want to send Ilia away, it's not too late to stop the plan now."

For a moment, Xie Shu really wanted to agree.

But she knew that she couldn't.

Ilia didn't know she was wrong. Before the car accident, she was very close to Noah and Alice. If he gave up sending her away because of her soft-heartedness this time, she would still target Caesar when Ilia recovered from her injuries, even at the expense of the family's interests.

This is not fair to Caesar.

After being detained for such a long time last time, Ilia not only did not know she was wrong, but also hated Caesar. Her character is already very difficult to correct, and we can only start with the external environment to prevent her from having the conditions and opportunities to harm others.

"...Mom is indeed reluctant to let Ilia go, but mom knows that only sending Ilia away is good for her. Don't worry, mom will not interfere with this plan." Xie Shu's voice sounded a little uncomfortable, but his tone was firm.

She knew very well that although she was reluctant, for Ilia's future and the harmony of this family, sending Ilia away was the only option.

She couldn't let her momentary emotions drag the whole family into deeper conflict.

Yan Huai looked at his mother, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He gently held Xie Shu's hand and whispered, "Mom, I know this is difficult for you. Ilia is your daughter. It's normal for you to feel sorry for her and reluctant to let her go. But don't worry, I will arrange everything to ensure that Ilia gets the best care in the new environment. When she truly realizes her mistakes and learns to grow up, we can take her back."

Xie Shu nodded: "Caesar, Mom believes in you. Ilia...if she can be half as mature as you, I won't have to worry so much. Oh...it's all my fault. I indulged her too much when she was young..."

Yan Huai gently patted the back of his mother's hand and comforted her, "Mom, don't blame yourself too much. It's important to take care of yourself. You go back and rest first. I'll be here to watch over you. There are also servants here. I'll notify you when Ilia wakes up."

This time, Xie Shu did not refuse. After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back and rest for a while. Caesar, thank you for your hard work."

Yan Huai smiled slightly: "It's not hard, don't worry."

He helped Xie Shu up and walked out of the ward.

Thinking of something, Xie Shu asked, "By the way, Caesar, you and Miss Tang..."
