Her face flushed red; she didn't dare look at Liu Renzhi.
She pretended she didn't remember anything.
Keeping her eyes tightly shut, she said,
"I don't remember anything from last night."
After saying this, she turned her head to look at Lin Jiajun.
"Let's go back. Jiajun, let's go home.
"Wang Hao is a scoundrel. I'll just go back and sue him."
Lin Jiajun nodded.
"Okay, but Sis, your thigh is injured. We can't head back immediately.
"You need to stay in the hospital for a few more days. Plus, Brother Liu said he's going to transfer you to another hospital."
Lin Wanyi didn't dare to so much as glance at Liu Renzhi.
She merely said, "Alright, we'll do as Brother Liu says and transfer hospitals.
"After the transfer, you should head back first, Brother Liu.
"You're so busy with work. I have Jiajun here with me. I'll be fine, really."
"Fine?"
Liu Renzhi shot a glaring look at both of them.
"This is what you call fine?
"You said you were fine when you came the day before yesterday. You texted yesterday saying everything was going smoothly and you were fine.
"And the result?
"You almost lost your lives, and you're telling me you're fine?"
Knowing they were in the wrong, Lin Jiajun didn't dare speak.
Lin Wanyi lowered her head even further, but she still tried to explain:
"We didn't expect Liu Dabing to escape.
"If it hadn't been for him, we really would have been..."
"Fine, right?"
Liu Renzhi cut her off.
"What did I tell you before you came? I said that if Wang Hao gave you any trouble, you should just go back and sue him.
"I was going to find a lawyer to deal with him, but what did you do?
"You knew perfectly well that the people in Wang Family Village are no good, yet you still ran over here.
"I am honestly speechless at you two.
"From now on, I'm making the arrangements. Which hospital you stay in, how long you stay, who you see—I will arrange it all.
"Understood?"
"Understood!"
"No!"
Lin Jiajun nodded like a woodpecker, saying yes.
Lin Wanyi, not daring to look up, said no.
Liu Renzhi looked at Lin Wanyi.
"Look up at me. What exactly is the problem?"
Lin Wanyi was even more afraid to raise her head.
She was too ashamed to face Liu Renzhi.
How could she, a divorced woman with a child, actually get handsy with Liu Renzhi?
She wished she could just drop dead from the embarrassment.
Just as she was dying of embarrassment, Wang Hao started pounding on the door.
He shouted from the outside:
"Lin Wanyi! Honey, open the door!
"How are you? I'm so worried about you, hurry up and open the door!"
Lin Wanyi hated his guts. If he hadn't deliberately made things difficult, if he hadn't gone back on his word about the divorce...
How would she have encountered all those things last night?
How would she be in such an awkward situation now?
She told Lin Jiajun:
"Send him away, Jiajun. I don't want to see him."
Lin Jiajun opened the door, and Wang Hao slyly slipped inside in one quick stride.
He rushed over to Lin Wanyi's bedside.
"Wifey, you have no idea how worried I was about you.
"I was scared to death last night. I even went into the mountains in the pitch dark to look for you.
"You know we never dare to go into that mountain.
"Honey, I was truly worried about you. I was willing to risk my life to save you. Are you really okay now?"
Lin Wanyi didn't want to say a single word to him.
Liu Renzhi grabbed Wang Hao by the shoulder.
"Get out. She doesn't want to see you."
Wang Hao directed all his roaring anger at Liu Renzhi:
"Aren't you a fucking nuisance? Why are you always hovering around my wife?
"You're the one who needs to get out right now. Don't disturb me and my wife.
"Get lost!"
Unable to contain her anger, Lin Wanyi grabbed a pillow and hurled it at Wang Hao:
"Wang Hao, we are divorced! Divorced! Stop calling me your wife!
"And don't ever appear in front of me again!
"And I absolutely forbid you from disrespecting Brother Liu!"
"Get out, get out!"
Naturally, Wang Hao wasn't going anywhere.
He looked back and forth between Lin Wanyi and Liu Renzhi.
"Heh, Lin Wanyi, and you still claim you haven't made a cuckold out of me.
"You still claim there's nothing going on between the two of you.
"Damn it, I don't even want to mention what you two were doing last night.
"Do you think I'm blind? Do you think I couldn't see a thing?
"The sounds you were making... I haven't heard you moan like that in years.
"You..."
"Stop it!"
Lin Wanyi covered her ears with the blanket.
"Don't say it, please, just stop talking.
"Wang Hao, I'm begging you."
"I'm going to say it! Lin Wanyi, you bitch, you slut!
"You dare to do it but don't have the guts to admit it, you..."
Crash!
Wang Hao's mouth snapped shut.
Because Liu Renzhi had just smashed a stool over his head.
"Wang Hao, can you shut the hell up now?"
Wang Hao touched the fresh blood on his head.
Liu Chunlan, who had been too afraid to enter and had stayed outside the door, jumped up and shrieked.
"Oh, for heaven's sake!
"You're hitting my son again! You hit my son again!
"Call the police, I'm calling the police!"
Lin Jiajun shoved them both out the door.
"Call them! Tell the cops I did it. I, Lin Jiajun, hit him."
Wang Hao tried to say something else.
But Liu Chunlan dragged him away to get his wound dressed.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed? Your head was just bandaged the day before yesterday, and now it's busted open again.
"You people are really trying to murder my son!"
After they had gone far down the hall, Lin Jiajun turned around, intending to go back into the hospital room.
But upon seeing Liu Renzhi, he silently backed out.
He had more or less figured out what happened last night.
He couldn't go in right now.
He had to let them sort it out themselves.
Inside the room, Lin Wanyi kept herself completely buried under the covers, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Liu Renzhi gently tugged at the blanket.
"Come out, don't suffocate yourself."
Lin Wanyi still refused to emerge.
Liu Renzhi spoke again.
"I know you're embarrassed about last night.
"You really don't need to be. I know it was because you were drugged.
"Those weren't your true intentions, and it wasn't something you could control.
"Lin Wanyi, I actually really admire you."
Lin Wanyi remained under the covers, but she asked,
"What do you admire about me?"
"I admire that, even in that state, you still had the resolve to stab yourself."
That made Lin Wanyi even more reluctant to come out.
What else could she have done?
If she hadn't stabbed herself then to stay awake and let out some of the drugged blood...
What else was she supposed to do?
Was she really supposed to just throw herself at Liu Renzhi?
She couldn't do that.
She'd rather die than do that.
Liu Renzhi's lips twitched as he was about to say something more, but then he noticed the blanket turning red with blood.
He hurriedly tried to pull the blanket away, but Lin Wanyi gripped it even tighter.
Growing anxious, he grabbed the blanket from the foot of the bed and threw it off her.
He gasped.
He yelled loudly for Lin Jiajun.
"Get a doctor! Call a doctor right now!"
Lin Wanyi had no idea she was bleeding again.
Liu Renzhi firmly pulled her head out into the open.
"Still hiding? What are you hiding from?
"We're adults. Do you think I don't have eyes or a brain?
"Lin Wanyi, can you please be more careful from now on? Don't just get into anyone's car."
Lin Wanyi finally dared to open her eyes.
She sincerely apologized to Liu Renzhi.
"I really had no way to control myself.
"And I'm honestly so embarrassed right now.
"Brother Liu, I..."
She didn't know what else to say.
The doctor had already rushed in.
He scolded Lin Wanyi.
"Don't you know how to protect your own wound?"
Lin Wanyi felt completely humiliated. It was all because seeing Wang Hao had agitated her earlier, causing her to forcefully throw a pillow at him.
She hadn't done it on purpose.
After the doctor finished applying fresh bandages, Liu Renzhi decided to transfer to another hospital.
Neither Lin Wanyi nor Lin Jiajun dared to utter a word of objection.
The two of them stood there like misbehaving children, waiting to be scolded.
