  Xu Weilai’s hand, which was flipping through the document, paused for a moment. She lifted her eyelids and looked at Zuo An. After he said that sentence, he held the milk and drank it one mouthful at a time.

  It was obviously an ordinary glass of milk but she could vaguely see a satisfied expression on his face.

  She blinked her black eyes and lowered her eyelids.

  After reading the document and confirming that there was nothing wrong with the content, Xu Weilai picked up a pen, took a deep breath, and quickly signed her name.

  She closed the cap and the document. Then, she took out her phone to look at the time and smiled. “It’s exactly midnight. What a beautiful day today.”


  Beautiful.

  Zuo an finished the last mouthful of milk. “Then I hope you that you will have a beautiful dream later.”


  After sending Xu Weilai back to her room, Zuo An said, “We will be flying back to the capital at 10 am tomorrow. Sleep early.”


  “Okay.”


  –


  Xu Weilai finished showering, came out to dry her hair, and laid on the bed.

  Everything that had happened during this period of time appeared in her mind uncontrollably. Scene after scene flashed past like a movie. She turned sideways and looked at the night sky outside the window.

  How long would it take for this night to end?

  –


  The next morning.

  After Zuo An and Xu Weilai accompanied Father Zuo to have breakfast, Qiao Chu drove them to the airport.

  Zuo Si didn’t seem to want to see them. She booked the earliest flight in the morning and left. Hence, only the three of them were left on this trip back to the capital.

  After getting on the plane, the flight attendant began to distribute today’s newspapers.

  Xu Weilai ordered a copy and, as expected, when saw the news about Gu Yu’s poor health. They mentioned that he was down with an illness. She read it expressionlessly, folded the newspaper, and put it aside.

  Zuo An ordered a cup of warm water for her and placed it on the wide part of the armrest in the middle of the chair.

  Xu Weilai smiled and thanked him. She picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.

  The plane flew for several hours. After it landed, Zuo An was supposed to go back to rest first but his phone kept ringing.

  After answering a few calls, he said to Xu Weilai, “I have to go back to the company first. What about you? Do you want to go back to rest or do you want to go to the company with me?”


  Xu Weilai probed, “Is it the shareholders?”


  “Yes.”


  Once Gu Yu’s news came out, it was only reasonable that the shareholders couldn’t sit still. Now that the president had fallen, it was up to him, the vice president, to make the decisions. Xu Weilai knew what they would be talking about.

  She shook her head. “No, I want to go back and rest first.”


  “Okay, then I’ll get Qiao Chu to send you.”


  “Qiao Chu can send you. I’ll call a taxi myself.”


  Xu Weilai decisively hailed a taxi and waved at him. She opened the car door and got in. Then, she gave the driver an address and the car drove off.

  Zuo An watched the car disappear from his sight before he got into his car.

  –


  Xu Weilai didn’t go back to the apartment to rest as she had said. Instead, she went to another place.

  The taxi stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Xu Weilai used her phone to scan the code. After paying the fare, she dragged her suitcase and walked into the hospital.

  She didn’t stop walking. She took the elevator and arrived at the VIP Ward area. After registering her name at the front desk, she walked towards the ward.

  When she reached the door of the ward, she subconsciously clenched her fists. Then, she raised her head and knocked on the door.

  About ten seconds later, the sound of footsteps came from within. The door was pulled open from inside. The people inside were stunned when they saw Xu Weilai.
