Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 390 Irritability
In the same late night, in a hospital ward, Lu Xingyan lay on the hospital bed with her arm behind her head, staring wide-eyed at the ceiling above her.

Just then, a muffled "thump" came faintly from next door.

Lu Xingyan sat up in bed almost immediately, listened carefully for a moment, but heard no further sound.

Even so, Lu Xingyan quickly put on her shoes, got out of bed, opened the door, and walked to the door of the ward next door.

There was no sound from inside.

At this time, it seemed inappropriate for him to knock on the door so abruptly. After standing at the door for a moment and thinking, Lu Xingyan decisively sent a message to the caregiver.

Before long, the caregiver called his cell phone directly.

"Mr. Lu, what's wrong?" Amidst the somewhat noisy background, the caregiver's voice sounded anxious. "Is Miss Ji feeling unwell?"

"Aren't you at the hospital?" Lu Xingyan asked.

The caregiver hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Something urgent has come up at my home. I told Miss Ji before I left that I'd be back in two hours at most..."

Lu Xingyan couldn't help but exhale and said, "Why didn't you tell me before you left?"

As he spoke, he hung up the phone, knocked lightly, and then pushed open the door to the hospital room.

Inside the ward, Ji Yan, with half her body dangling off the bed and struggling to reach the chair beside it, seemingly trying to accomplish something difficult, suddenly saw him and froze for a moment. The next instant, she couldn't help but turn cold and asked, "What are you doing in here?"

Lu Xingyan quickly stepped forward and reached out to support her. "What are you doing?"

The previous movement was already difficult for Ji Yan, who couldn't move one leg. She couldn't move forward or backward. Now, with Lu Xingyan's help, she finally returned to the hospital bed, but immediately withdrew her hand. "What's it to you?"

Lu Xingyan looked at her and said, "Even if the caregiver isn't here, you can ask a nurse for help. If you keep pushing yourself like this and fall down and get injured again, do you even want your leg to heal?"

"I told you it's none of your business!" Ji Yan seemed to be angered by his critical tone. "Even if both my legs are crippled, that's my own business. What does it have to do with you? What right do you have to interfere?"

As soon as she said that, the ward fell silent. Lu Xingyan didn't say anything more for a moment, but just looked at her quietly.

Ji Yan turned her face away, not even glancing at him.

After a stalemate lasting nearly two minutes, Lu Xingyan turned and walked out of the ward.

Hearing the noise, Ji Yan remained stiff and motionless.

Not long after, the door to the ward rang again.

Ji Yan remained seated, frozen in place. The next moment, she heard the nurse's familiar voice: "Miss Ji, is there anything you need?"

Ji Yan was startled, and when she turned around, she saw the nurse's politely smiling face.

Before Ji Yan could speak, the nurse had already come forward, first adjusting the pillow and blanket behind her, and then said, "It's late at night, so we can't take care of everything, but you can call us anytime if you're not feeling well... Luckily, Mr. Lu noticed this time. Just tell me what you need, and I'll help you."

Ji Yan finally looked up and glanced towards the door. Just as she had hoped, Lu Xingyan had already vanished.

Ji Yan looked away before speaking, "I'm all sweaty and not feeling well. I'd like to go to the bathroom to wash up and change my clothes."

"Okay," the nurse said immediately, "I'll help you right away."

With the help of the nurse, Ji Yan was able to get out of bed and was wheeled into the bathroom.

Lu Xingyan never appeared again after she came out.

When Ji Yan returned to her hospital bed with the help of the nurse, the caregiver also rushed back to the hospital. As soon as she saw Ji Yan, she apologized and explained.

Ji Yan felt annoyed and only said "Stop talking" before pulling the blanket over herself.

Feeling extremely guilty, the caregiver returned to her own cot and didn't make a sound again.

In the quiet ward, Ji Yan, who had changed into clean and comfortable clothes, seemed to have no desire to sleep and tossed and turned restlessly until dawn.

After daybreak, the nurse came to the ward to do the daily check-up and then inserted an IV needle into Ji Yan's body.

A new day seemed to have just begun, and Ji Yan seemed to have returned to a new order. She looked up and watched the medicine drip from her head, and finally, exhausted, she slowly closed her eyes.

Seeing that she had finally fallen asleep again, the caregiver breathed a sigh of relief and carefully got up and left the ward.

Outside the ward, Lu Xingyan was standing at the door of the next ward, seemingly having a nurse who had just left perform some routine checks on him, but in reality, he was asking about Ji Yan's condition.

In fact, for ordinary external injuries like this, the body's data will not fluctuate much, and the overall condition will only improve day by day.

But Lu Xingyan still asked her every day without getting tired of it, as if he couldn't wait to know all the relevant information about her.

After the nurse left, the caregiver approached Lu Xingyan and said, "Mr. Lu, thank you so much for last night."

Lu Xingyan's expression didn't change much. After glancing at her, he simply said, "If this happens again, you must let me know in advance."

The caregiver hurriedly said, "This will never happen again, it definitely won't."

Lu Xingyan gave a faint reply, then turned around and his phone suddenly rang. He returned to the ward to answer the call.

After hearing just two sentences from the other end of the phone, Lu Xingyan's expression changed slightly.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xingyan stood at the door of the ward once again.

A few minutes later, two people came out from the direction of the elevator. They had only taken a few steps when they were suddenly blocked by Lu Xingyan who was coming towards them.

Looking at Jiang Beiheng, who was slightly surprised, Lu Xingyan smiled slightly. "Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence?"
