Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

The surprise that had crossed Lin Tinghan's face when he saw Si Nian vanished instantly.

Unable to contain his anger, he snapped at Si Nian, who was throwing water at him, "What's wrong with you?"

Si Nian stared coldly at him and asked, "Are you awake now?"

"What are you here to question?" Lin Tinghan snatched the cup from Si Nian's hand and smashed it away forcefully!

The broken glass cut Si Nian's calf.

Upon seeing the blood, Lin Tinghan's angry expression froze for a moment.

He instinctively reached out to pull Si Nian, "Nian Nian..."

But Si Nian seemed oblivious to the pain, coldly asking him, "Using my brother's heart, why are you so reckless?! Drinking and doing drugs? Lin Tinghan, what you're doing is unfair to my brother, and unfair to yourself."

Upon hearing Si Nian's words, Lin Tinghan withdrew his outstretched hand.

He wiped the water from his face, his eyes cold and calculating: "Whether I've lived up to my own standards or not is none of anyone else's business."

"Don't you know what your own body is like?" Si Nian retorted.

Lin Tinghan sneered: "What, after receiving your brother's heart, why do I need your approval to do anything?"

He reached out to pull out the IV line from his hand.

Si Nian saw this and quickly pressed him down, "What are you doing now?"

Are you truly concerned about my physical health, or about the beating heart within me?

"What's the difference?" Si Nian growled.

Lin Tinghan stared at her, seemingly calming down suddenly. He said in a detached tone, "Yes, it makes no difference. My life and this heart are both my own."

Si Nian subconsciously tightened her fingers, suppressing her urge to get angry.

After pressing Lin Tinghan back onto the bed, she said to him, "Your follow-up examination is coming up soon. If you don't take good care of your body now, you'll have to go to the intensive care unit when your body doesn't meet the standards for the follow-up examination."

"Don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing." Lin Tinghan replied coldly, then couldn't help but recall the scene before she fainted.

He frowned and asked, "Where's Bitong?"

Before Si Nian could answer, Zhao Yulan's voice rang out from the doorway.

After learning about Lin Tinghan's physical condition from the doctor, Zhao Yulan returned to the ward. Before she even entered, she heard him asking about Chen Bitong.

She said in a deep voice, "I kicked that troublemaker out. She can forget about ever getting close to you again!"

Lin Tinghan became anxious upon hearing this: "Mom, Bi Tong is also a victim. If I hadn't helped her drink that glass of wine, she would have been the one to get infected. Isn't she, a young girl, in more danger than me after drinking that kind of wine?"

"No matter how dangerous she is, is she more dangerous than you? Do you know what was put in that drink? It almost killed you!" Zhao Yulan said, her face turning pale with anger.

She continued, "Besides, how can you be so sure she's the victim? I think she's more like the perpetrator! Maybe she deliberately made you drink that spiked wine so she could take advantage of you and climb the social ladder!"

"How could that be? Bitong isn't that kind of person."

Zhao Yulan glanced at Si Nian, who was standing silently to the side, and said to Lin Tinghan, "Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Anyway, you're not allowed to see that woman anymore, and you're not allowed to let her live in Jinghe Garden."

"Don't worry about our affairs."

"I heard that woman has been staying at Jingheyuan these past few days. That's your and Niannian's marital home. What kind of behavior is it to let another woman stay there?"

Lin Tinghan hesitated for a moment: "Letting Bitong live in Jinghe Garden is so that she can teach Niannian how to take care of children and how to get along with them."

"Do you think it's appropriate to let your ex-girlfriend live in the marital home?" Zhao Yulan added, "Only because she still loves you would she indulge you unconditionally."

Lin Tinghan paused, looked at Si Nian and said to her, "It was my oversight. I will arrange for another nutritionist to come to Jinghe Garden to take care of Hengheng."

Hearing Lin Tinghan agree, Zhao Yulan said with satisfaction, "That's more like it. I won't disturb you two lovebirds any longer. I'm going back now. Niannian, take good care of Tinghan at the hospital."

After Zhao Yulan left.

Lin Tinghan took Si Nian's hand and asked her, "Did you complain to my mom? If you don't like Bi Tong living in our house, you can just tell me directly. I won't disrespect your opinion."

"I didn't complain. As for where you want to send the child's mother, that's your choice and has nothing to do with me."

Lin Tinghan chuckled, seemingly thinking Si Nian was just being stubborn, and asked her again, "Are you jealous?"

"..."

"I brought Bitong to Jingheyuan solely because she's Hengheng's mother; I had no other ulterior motives. Please be understanding and don't throw a tantrum."

Si Nian pulled her hand away. "It's your prerogative to arrange where she stays. Whatever makes you happy."

Lin Tinghan felt somewhat disappointed and released his grip.

"You should rest and recover in the hospital. I'll arrange a caregiver for you." Si Nian stood up.

Lin Tinghan frowned: "Aren't you going to stay and take care of me?"

"I have something to do. I have a competition at the end of the month, and I need to practice the piano."

After Si Nian finished speaking, she left the ward.

However, she had just left the hospital less than half an hour ago.

He was then called back by Lin Tinghan.

Lin Tinghan's tone was filled with barely suppressed anger.

"Hengheng is critically ill. Go back to the hospital. I need to see you now."

Si Nian asked in surprise, "Critically ill?"

Chen Bitong cried out on the other end of the phone, "Niannian, if you have any complaints, take them out on me! Why did you have to hurt the child?"

Si Nian turned around and drove back to the hospital.

They arrived at the door of the emergency room once again, but this time, the person inside was Lin Ziheng.

Looking at Chen Bitong, who was crying her eyes out, and Lin Tinghan, whose face was gloomy, Si Nian asked, "What happened?"

When Chen Bitong saw Si Nian, she rushed over to her like a madwoman.

She grabbed Si Nian and tore at her forcefully: "How could you be so heartless to hurt such a young child? I clearly told you that Hengheng is allergic to mangoes, why did you give him mango cake! Why didn't you let anyone take him to the hospital after you saw him eat it?!"

Si Nian grabbed Chen Bitong's hand, "Calm down!"

After pushing Chen Bitong away, her arm was suddenly grabbed by an even stronger force.

Lin Tinghan looked coldly at Si Nian, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"The nanny said you bought a mango cake for Hengheng today. You knew he was allergic to mangoes, so why did you let him eat it? Did you want to kill him? Si Nian, I never thought you could be so heartless!"

Si Nian's breath hitched, and she said in a tight voice, "The cake was made by Shu Yi for my birthday. Heng Heng ate my cake without my knowledge! I observed him for half an hour, and I didn't see any allergic symptoms."

"So you're admitting that you knew Hengheng ate a mango, but you didn't take him to the hospital, right?" Lin Tinghan suddenly increased the pressure on Si Nian's wrist, making it ache.

Si Nian struggled violently, "I told you, I didn't see any allergic symptoms in him!"

Lin Tinghan forcefully flung Si Nian to the ground and looked down at her, saying, "Over the years, I've really spoiled you. If my son has any problems, you will pay the price for what you did today."
