Chapter 200 — Xiaofen's Illness
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Pushed to the front, Wei Zhao had no choice but to greet Song Huiping. "Hello, Auntie."
Now Song Huiping was truly confused. At first she had thought Kang Xiaobo might have designs on her daughter, though she could not be sure. But now she heard the hospital fees had been advanced by Wei Zhao, so who was this Wei Zhao?
"Young man... you..." Song Huiping looked at Wei Zhao in confusion. He had said nothing until now, so she had naturally overlooked him. Now here was another person with no connection to her family paying her medical bills, and what could that be for?
"Ha... Auntie, I'm Tang Yun's good friend." A touch of mischief rising in him, Wei Zhao said it with deliberate ambiguity.
"Ah... oh..." Song Huiping genuinely misunderstood, mistaking the nature of Wei Zhao and Tang Yun's relationship. If Wei Zhao were only Tang Yun's ordinary friend, why would he advance money for Tang Yun's friend?
Tang Yun also caught the suggestiveness in his words and shot him a glare, annoyed. Give this man an inch and he took a mile. She had already laid her cards on the table, yet he pressed his advantage.
Under these circumstances, however, Tang Yun could not explain. The more she explained, the more tangled it would become, so she could only pretend she had heard nothing.
Just then a faint, feeble moan came from Xiaofen's bed, and every eye in the ward turned back to her. With no time left for Wei Zhao, Song Huiping spun around in haste. "Xiaofen, are you awake?"
"Mom? Where am I?" Xiaofen stared in confusion at the IV drip in her hand, glancing about the room.
"Xiaofen, you're awake? Don't you remember? You were going to jump!" Song Huiping rushed over and seized her daughter's hand.
"Jump? Why would I jump?" Xiaofen opened her mouth, utterly at a loss.
"You don't remember? Better not to remember..." Song Huiping said. "Xiaofen, you were sleepwalking again. You dreamed of that wretch, and you tried to jump from our third floor!"
"Ah!" Startled by her mother's words, Xiaofen was frightened herself. She had tried to jump, yet had no memory of it at all. "Then did I jump or not?"
"You certainly did jump! If this classmate had not caught you downstairs, Xiaofen, you would have..." Here Song Huiping's voice choked with sobs again.
Xiaofen seemed to know there was something wrong with her own body, and she did not question her mother's words. Silently she turned her head toward Kang Xiaobo, but as she looked at him her gaze suddenly fixed, as if she were about to sink into hallucination again...
Song Huiping sensed it and started in fright, wanting to stop it, but it was already too late. They heard Xiaofen murmur, "Zhaoming, is that you? Have you come to the hospital to see me?"
