Two days later, Tang Xi could finally get out of bed and walk around. Seeing Tang Xi move freely made Yang Jingxian smile with relief. “Finally you can get out of bed. I'm going to handle the discharge formalities for you.”

She wanted Tang Xi to stay in the hospital for two more days, but Tang Xi refused. Now 008 could also help her strengthen her body, and she was really fed up with the smell of the hospital.

When Tang Xi heard that Yang Jingxian was going to go through the discharge formalities for her, her eyes lit up and she called Yang Jingxian in a hurry. “Mom, wait a moment. Let me pack up my things and go with you, so that we can leave the hospital after handling the procedures. I really don't want to stay in this ward for one more second.”

Yang Jingxian looked at Tang Xi with a smile and said, “Then wait a minute. Let me help you pack.”

Tang Xi nodded with a smile, sat down on the sofa with her chin in her hands and watched Yang Jingxian packing up her stuff. Yang Jingxian liked Tang Xi's natural calm manner. She said, as she gathered up her things, “You're finally going to be discharged from the hospital, and I finally have company at home. Otherwise it's so boring to stay at home alone.”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, looked at Yang Jingxian whilst casually shaking her leg on the arm of the sofa and asked Yang Jingxian, “Why? Aren't Dad and brothers home?”

Yang Jingxian shook her head. “Your dad went to the capital on a business trip. Sa's company needs to update the game system these days, so he has been working overtime and doesn't come back home until mid-night. As for Jing, I haven't seen him for almost a week. I went to his company looking for him yesterday only to find he is as busy as a spinning top. So I made him some soup and sent it to him with some change of clothes.”

Tang Xi nodded. It was no wonder Qiao Liang and Jing didn't come here these past two days. Even Sa, who came to the hospital more frequently than he went to the bathroom, did not come. It turned out he was busy updating his company's game system.

Yang Jingxian packed Tang Xi's things soon. Tang Xi took Yang Jingxian's hand and exclaimed that she could finally be discharged from the hospital. Then she began to enumerate what she wanted to eat, but Yang Jingxian shook her head, “You can't eat hot and spicy food now. After you go back, I'll stew some light soup for you. It's good for your health.”

Tang Xi nodded feeling aggrieved, entered the elevator and asked how Lin Ru was doing. Yang Jingxian's face was slightly dimmed when she heard Tang Xi mention Lin Ru. “I really don't want to tell you,” she said in a low voice.

Tang Xi frowned, and immediately had a bad presentiment in her heart. She tightly held Yang Jingxian's hand. “Is she in a bad shape?”

Yang Jingxian shook her head. “She was going to recover. But when she heard you were hospitalized again, she fell out of bed. It's not certain whether she can stand up again. Now your daddy is taking care of her in the hospital.”

Tang Xi's face sank. “Why did you tell her that? Come on!”

She purposely didn't choose Lin'an Hospital so as not to stimulate Lin Ru. How could Lin Ru know this? Yang Jingxian patted Tang Xi on the back, and comforted her in a low voice. “No one is to blame. That day, when policemen recorded her confession in the hospital, he asked about the relationship between Xiao Jinning and Lin Jiao, and accidentally mentioned what happened to you. Your mother was so worried about you that she fell off the bed, so her condition worsened.”

When the elevator opened, Tang Xi grabbed Yang Jingxian's hand and said in a low voice, “Mom, I love you very much. You know it, right?”

Yang Jingxian smiled and nodded, “Yes, I know.”

Tang Xi's eyes turn red and she said softly, “But I can't ignore Lin Ru, so I can't go home with you now, but…” Tang Xi hugged Yang Jingxian. “But I promise you that I'll just go to see her and then go back, ok?”

“Silly child.” Yang Jingxian smiled, patted Tang Xi on the back with tears in her eyes and said gently, “You should go to see her. Besides, if your mother sees you, she'll feel better. Go ahead.”

Tang Xi pressed a kiss on Yang Jingxian's cheek and turned to go outside.

Yang Jingxian hurriedly stopped Tang Xi and laughed. “Silly girl, why are you in such a hurry? How can you take a taxi without money?” She took two hundred yuan from her wallet and gave it to Tang Xi, saying, “I'll go back and prepare lunch. Go see your mother. Remember to come back for lunch.

Tang Xi rubbed her nose in embarrassment and walked out.

Yang Jingxian looked at Tang Xi's disappearing figure, shook her head with a smile and sighed. “The more I stay with this child, the more lovely I find she is.” Such a good-hearted child.

She was really the reincarnation of a fairy.

The moment Lin Ru saw Tang Xi, her eyes turned red and tears came out of her eyes. She moved her lips, but couldn't say anything. Tang Ru looked in shock at Xiao Hongyi who was standing aside and kept silent, and asked seriously, “What happened?”

It wasn't like what Yang Jingxian said that Lin Ru was paralyzed from the waist down and couldn't stand up again. She seemed to be completely paralyzed and couldn't even speak!

Xiao Hongyi blushed and sighed, “Doctor said the nerve in her brain was injured, so…”

Tang Xi frowned and said coldly to Xiao Hongyi, “Go out!”

Xiao Hongyi looked at Tang Xi in shock, but in the end he said nothing. He took out a pack of cigarettes from inside his pocket and went out. It could be seen that he was very worried about Lin Ru. After he walked out, Tang Xi looked at Lin Ru. When she saw how haggard Lin Ru was, her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse. “Why did you do this to yourself? Are you trying to show your love to me with your life?”

Tang Xi said and laughed, “I thought god is good to me, lets me suddenly have two mothers and compensates me the paternal and maternal loves that I didn't enjoy in the first half of my life, but why did you torture yourself like this? You panicked when you heard I was hospitalized? So you couldn't accept it, and destroyed yourself like this?!”

Lin Ru shook her head desperately as she listened to Tang Xi's accusation. No… No, she didn't mean that!

Tang Xi sneered. “No? Then what do you want? When I lay dying in the hospital for a month, you could go to work normally and even came to the hospital and mocked me mercilessly. Why did you suddenly become a ‘good mother'? You were in the hospital yourself. Why were you still worried about me? Look at you. I can stand up now, but what about you? What are you capable of? You're paralyzed and can't even talk to your own daughter!” When she said the last word, her voice almost went hysterical.

Hearing this outside, Xiao Hongyi slammed open the door and yelled angrily, “Xiao Rou, that's enough! Don't speak to your mom like that!”
