Chapter 648 - I’m Sorry

At Wuyuan City People's Hospital.

"The patient suffered a mild concussion. We examined her and discovered that her injury was minor. However, she had to stay in the hospital for two to three days for observation."

Wei Zhengsheng looked at Xian Guiying, who was lying on the bed with an IV drip in her hand. He then asked the doctor. "Are you sure it's light? There's nothing wrong with her, right?"

The doctor turned to look at him. "Often, after waking up, symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, lack of concentration, blood pressure, breathing, and pulse are basically normal. I know what you're worried about, but you have to trust us. Her injury was not serious. If you don't trust me, I'll ask someone to do an X-ray scan tomorrow morning. That way, you don't have to be worried."

Wei Zhengsheng nodded. "Alright, thank you."

This was a hospital in Wuyuan City and Wei Shanyuan was not here either. He wasn't sure if a hospital in a city like this was trustworthy or not, so he was indeed a bit worried.

After the doctor left, Wei Zhengsheng walked to the bed and touched Xian Guiying's forehead. The red spot on her forehead was smeared with medicine applied by the doctor. Since there was no blood in it, it could only be smeared with some anti-swelling and anti-silting medications.

"How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt?" He asked.

Xian Guiying slowly opened her eyes, looked at him, and smiled. "I'm okay. It's much better now."

Wei Zhengsheng sighed and withdrew his hand. "Why don't you dodge just now?"

Xian Guiying smirked. "I can hide for a while, but can I hide for the rest of my life? I will have to face it sooner or later. The people of the Qin Family will not let it go. They'll also go to the Xian Residence to find out what happened between Qin Gengxin and me. I much preferred to face her, rather than let her create trouble in my family."

Actually, Mrs. Qin was not a rude person. She's just too angry. Xian Guiying didn't want the Xian Family to be involved. She didn't want to have anything to do with the Xian Family.

"You're really brave. But, if something goes wrong, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Wei Zhengsheng looked at the IV drip in her hand as he spoke and then looked at her. "You will be required to stay here for two to three days for observation. In the meantime, don't think of anything else."

Xian Guiying also knew that her concussions required careful observation, so she didn't try to be brave. "Qianqian..."

"I'll call Mrs. Zhang and ask her to take care of the child for a day. I'll check on her condition tomorrow, and then I'll take care of the child, so you don't have to be worried."

Xian Guiying closed her eyes. "Alright."

"Take a nap. I'll go to the registration room and take care of some formalities." With that, Wei Zhengsheng got up and walked out of the ward.

Xian Guiying lay quietly on the bed.

'On the surface, we can't see the harmony and disharmony between the two of you, husband and wife, but what Xiaowen and I saw was our son protecting you from behind you!'

'Use your smart brain to figure it out! You never stepped into the Qin Family's door after you were married; have you ever wondered why we never called you? Why didn't Xiaowen and I calmly ask for the reason? If it weren't for Gengxin blocking these things for you, do you think your days would be that easy?!'

Mrs. Qin's words kept echoing in her ears. She frowned and slowly opened her eyes, looking at the snow-white walls of the ward.

They had been married for a while, and in the two years after their marriage, Qin Gengxin had never revealed himself in front of a mother and daughter pair. If the hatred against her had reached a certain level, he should not have protected her in front of the people of the Qin Family.

Why?

Her head felt hurt thinking about it. She raised her hand and rubbed the wound. The pain from the wound was still very strong, but no longer as painful as when she was hit.

In her mind, she kept thinking of the past that she had suppressed in her heart and now it was becoming blurred. There were a lot of things going on.

Twelve years. What had happened in twelve years that she didn't know?

Twelve years ago, when he was drunk and leaned on her shoulder like a little child, as he pretended to flirt with her while eating her tofu, a deep sense of love for her could be seen in his eyes.

She didn't know if it was love or what.

She also didn't know when Qin Gengxin started putting her in her heart.

But the reason she lasted so long in this marriage was that the way he looked at her was so different.

Qin Gengxin could play with anyone, but he wouldn't play her like this.

A woman's sixth sense was very strong. If he didn't have feelings for her, she wouldn't have waited for him for years.

But then, the way he treated her...

Qin Gengxin, what was this?

• • • •

At first, Qin Gengxin wanted to arrange for Mrs. Qin to stay in a nice hotel, but she refused to stay there.

Even though he had the ability, as her son, he could not resist her wishes. So, in the end, he had to take her back to his house.

At 4:30 in the evening, after Qin Gengxin finished with the video conference in the room, he saw Mrs. Qin chatting with Nanny Yuan. Seeing that she was preoccupied, he quietly left the house.

Even though he didn't go to the hospital, he kept getting news from the hospital on his phone. He was aware of Xian Guiying's condition as well as the room's number in which she was staying.

When he arrived, he saw Wei Zhengsheng pouring hot water into a cup through the slightly open ward door.

Wei Zhengsheng put the straw into the cup and carefully helped Xian Guiying drink it.

Standing outside the ward, Qin Gengxin slowly lowered his hand from the doorknob and watched the scene inside.

Wei Zhengsheng bent down and hugged her. He lifted Xian Guiying's hair and helped her tie it into a ponytail before helping her lying on a pillow. His moves were gentle and intimate.

Xian Guiying suddenly received a text message.

Wei Zhengsheng handed the phone to her. She opened it and saw the text was from Qin Gengxin. Although she had deleted his number, his personal number hadn't changed in the past few years and she still remembered it.

'I'm sorry.'

No additional explanation, no painstaking request for forgiveness, just two words: I'm sorry.

Xian Guiying looked at the phone screen with a calm expression. She raised her head to look at the slightly open door and saw the back figure of someone. She held the phone and didn't speak for a long time.
