After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Zhou Dan stood there, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes fixed on Li Xuanbao's flushed cheeks.

Zhou Dan was so furious. A woman hugged her boyfriend. She wanted to be angry, but it was not in her character to argue with a patient. She could only be angry in her heart and suppress the resentment.

Today, she had finally asked He Zhizhou out. They had just watched a movie and she had thought of taking advantage of the beautiful night to stroll leisurely in the square hand in hand with He Zhizhou, to cultivate their relationship and enjoy their world of two. But who could have thought that all these beautiful ideas were completely ruined by the sudden appearance of Li Xuanbao, like a basin of cold water, which "splashed" out the little flame of excitement in her heart.

What made Zhou Dan even more upset was that Li Xuanbao actually hugged He Zhizhou just now! That scene was like a thorn stuck in her heart, and she couldn't pull it out no matter how hard she tried.

When she thought of this, she felt sour and angry. But where could she vent her anger? Zhou Dan could only be angry at herself. She kept blaming herself in her heart, blaming herself for being so slow to react just now.

If she had been quicker and pulled He Zhizhou behind her, this wouldn't have happened. Even if Li Xuanbao was going to faint, it would be better for her to faint on top of her. This was better than the current situation, which made her feel like she had overturned a pot of mixed feelings and was extremely uncomfortable.

Zhou Dan sat on a stool, looking at the bottle that was giving Li Xuanbao an infusion. From time to time, she glanced at He Zhizhou. Her boyfriend was busy running around for another woman.

Time seemed to be stretched infinitely in the corridor of this hospital. Half an hour later, He Zhizhou walked straight towards Zhou Dan with the payment slip and the newly issued examination report in his hand. Then he sat down beside her and said, "The doctor said that she is a little malnourished. In addition, she didn't rest well during this period. Her immunity was reduced and she was infected with the virus. That's why she has a fever."

Zhou Dan said: "That's not bad, it's just a viral cold, it will be fine in three or four days."

He Zhizhou hummed and said, "Luckily you met us today."

Zhou Dan's gaze fell on He Zhizhou's forehead, which was covered with fine beads of sweat. She subconsciously took out a tissue from her bag and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, but when she was about to touch his forehead, He Zhizhou's body slightly turned to avoid her movement.

At that moment, a hint of hard-to-conceal disappointment flashed across Zhou Dan's eyes. He Zhizhou keenly captured Zhou Dan's emotions, and then he realized how inappropriate his actions just now were.

A trace of concern and apology quickly appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Dandan, look, it's so late, and you have to go to work tomorrow, why don't you go back and rest first."

Zhou Dan was slightly startled when she heard this. After a brief moment of shock, she took a deep breath and tried to suppress the sadness that was about to surge out of her eyes. She said, "What about you? Are you staying here all the time?"

She wanted to say that there were doctors and nurses in the hospital, and Li Xuanbao would probably wake up soon, so there was no need for him to stay here, but the words came to her lips and she didn't say them out loud.

He Zhizhou sighed slightly: "You have also seen Xuanbao's condition. She has not woken up yet. I am worried about her being alone in the hospital."

Zhou Dan listened quietly to He Zhizhou's words. The trace of expectation that had remained in her heart seemed to be blown away by a gust of cold wind and disappeared without a trace.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a bitter and self-deprecating smile, and she said softly, "Okay, in that case, I'll go back first. When she wakes up, send me a message."

Then, Zhou Dan slowly stood up, and her eyes involuntarily looked at Li Xuanbao lying on the bed. At this moment, the red flush on Li Xuanbao's face due to fever made her face look even paler. The bright red color seemed like a dazzling light, piercing Zhou Dan's heart. A patient who had lost consciousness and was so weak could easily make people feel pity.

Zhou Dan's eyes stayed on Li Xuanbao for a short while, then slowly moved to He Zhizhou's face, just catching the overflowing heartache in his eyes when he looked at Li Xuanbao. At this moment, she felt that she was the third party.

Zhou Dan didn't want to be immersed in this complicated and painful emotion any longer. She spoke softly, interrupting He Zhizhou's gaze and pity for Li Xuanbao, and said, "Then I'll go first."

He Zhizhou stood up and said, "I'll take you downstairs."

Zhou Dan smiled but refused. She tried to make her voice sound calm: "No need, you take care of her here." Then, before He Zhizhou could say anything else, Zhou Dan hurriedly turned around and walked out of the ward with quick and slightly flustered steps.

Zhou Dan walked out of the hospital building with a shaky step. The cool night breeze blew on her face, which made her chaotic thoughts a little clearer. She turned around and looked at the brightly lit hospital building for a long time, as if she wanted to see the situation in the ward through the layers of walls.

After a long while, she let out a long breath, as if she wanted to let go of all the confusion and annoyance in her heart.

Her fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the phone. After hesitating for a long time, she unlocked the screen and found Li Shiwen's phone number in the address book.

In fact, she and Li Shiwen had known each other for a long time. A few years ago, they attended the cadre training class organized by the city together and were classmates.

Although the training lasted only two months, the more than 30 students in the class still got along very well. Even though the training class has ended long ago, the students in their class still keep in touch. Occasionally they would exchange work experiences and complain about salaries in the class group, but they only communicated online and almost never met in private.

Last time she attended Jiawei's wedding, she found out that Li Shiwen was actually Jiawei's cousin. Sometimes this world is really small, and fate always connects people inadvertently in unexpected ways.

Zhou Dan's finger hovered on the dial key, her heart inexplicably nervous. She knew that there were some things Jiawei didn't know, but Li Shiwen grew up with Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou, so he should be very clear about the relationship between Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou.

Zhou Dan was very confused. If she didn't figure out the problem that was bothering her tonight, she wouldn't be able to sleep.

Zhou Dan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and pressed the dial button. She held the phone tightly, as if it was the only key to open the door to the truth. Every second of waiting seemed as long as a century. The moment the call was connected, her heart suddenly tensed up, and she had the urge to hang up.
