Chapter 493: Song Yuanxi, Is That Enough? (3)

Xia Yehua shut the bedroom door behind her as she left.

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!
