Stealing Your Heart

Her words silenced Su Zhan as he hung his head. It was a pitiful sight, but Lin Xinyan did not give in. Only her tone had softened a bit. “You should focus on your work. Grandma needs you too. I’ll take care of Qin Ya. Like I said earlier, I’ll tell you where she is when she recovers. Can you promise me not to disturb her for now?”

Su Zhan’s voice was hoarse. “Did she ask for this?”

Lin Xinyan sighed. Do I really have to answer this? I won’t be this firm if Qin Ya’s willing to meet him. Isn’t the nurse stopping him enough of an answer?

“I understand,” Su Zhan stated before leaving with his head down.

“Give me a call later,” Zong Jinghao uttered to his wife.

“Okay,” she responded while nodding her head.

With that, the man caught up with Su Zhan, worried that the latter would take things too hard. “He didn’t hurt you, did he?” Lin Xinyan asked the nurse when the men left.

The nurse waved her hand. “No, no. I’ve seen a lot of visitors like him. I can handle it.”

“How is she?” Lin Xinyan asked.

“She’s getting better. She does not need to stay in the ICU anymore.”

“I’ll take her to get treatment abroad within two days. Can she stay here until then?” she questioned, fearing that Su Zhan would return.

“Of course, as long as you pay for it.”

The ICU would cost tens of thousands a day. That was why many people try to stay in that ward for only a short while. After all, most people could not afford to pay such a huge sum of money.

“Can I go in?”

“Yes,” the nurse replied and opened the door.

Lin Xinyan still needed to change out of her clothes even when Qin Ya was no longer in a critical condition.
