The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 596

Chapter 596: He Would Not Leave

He Xiyan sounded indifferent and cold. Then, she looked down at her blankets. She was very tired and didn’t want to make any explanations, neither did she want him to continue harassing her.

Mo Yixuan did not leave. He smiled wryly and even carefully pulled up her blankets for her before he pulled a chair over and sat beside her bed.

He had decided to stick shamelessly to her side since she couldn’t drive him out of the ward in her current state. All he wanted to do was to be by her side. He didn’t mind even if he treated him coldly or ignored him; he had already decided to watch over her.

This was a rare chance for him to care for her and he still believed that if he was given time to be with her, she would be able to see the changes in him and would abandon Ye Hao to come back to him.

“Yan Yan, why don’t you rest for a bit? I’ll call the doctor later to check on you,” Mo Yixuan said calmly. He knew that she would not respond to him but he showed no intention of leaving.

He Xiyan turned her face away and no one saw the conflict and helplessness that flashed across her eyes.

Ms. Li had already fallen asleep on the guest bed as the night grew deeper while He Xiyan was still attached to her IV drip. It was already the last bottle for the day and in another hour, she would have taken all her medication for the day. She was extremely sleepy and a little dizzy due to the effects of the medication and cold sweat had beaded on her forehead.

When Mo Yixuan saw that she seemed sleepy, he went to fill a basin with water, took a towel, wrung it dry, and gently placed it on her forehead as she wiped away the sweat that would appear from time to time.

When his towel reached the corner of her eyes, her eyes suddenly fluttered open.

He Xiyan’s eyelashes fluttered gently as she looked at this man with a strange and helpless expression and a barely perceptible flash of emotion crossed her eyes.

She blinked a couple of times but despite her best efforts, tears appeared in her eyes and Mo Yixuan could even see her tears shining under the light.

“What’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?” he asked and suddenly threw the towel back into the basin. He hardly ever cared or sick people and would occasionally care for his parents when they were sick, so he didn’t know what he should do.

He Xiyan shook her head and the helplessness she felt was still reflected in her eyes. She remembered that he wasn’t a man who knew how to look after a woman and during the four years that they were together, he had never taken care of her whenever she was unwell or felt upset.

She guessed that this man must have changed or maybe, she never truly understood this man despite the years that they lived together, or maybe, he had truly fallen for her but it was all too late. She no longer craved his attention or his love.

“Please leave,” He Xiyan said as she looked down once more and she still sounded very aloof but this time, there was a tinge of helplessness and regret.

Perhaps they were truly not destined to be together since he didn’t love her when she had been madly in love with him and now, she no longer loved him and didn’t need his love either.

Mo Yixuan gave her a small smile and showed no intention of leaving. Then, he turned off the lights in her ward and only the small light at the head of her hospital bed remained turned on.

Compared to the cool indifference she had shown earlier, at least she was now willing to speak to him, and he even noticed that she seemed to have been crying because of him.

He felt happy when he clocked the changes in her attitude. Although she told him to leave, he obviously would not go. His legs belonged to him, so he would decide whether he wanted to stay or to leave.
