"Yiran... If I may, I don't want your gratitude..." he muttered.
He had always kept his distance from people subconsciously. Even friends like Ye Chongwei would say that he was too cold, giving a person a sense of estrangement.
It was as if others could not enter his heart no matter what.
Now, he seemed to know what it felt like to be unable to enter someone's heart. He desperately approached her, wanting to enter her world, but he always felt some estrangement from her.
Even though she smiled at him, she seemed to be silently refusing his approach.
Just what could he do to truly enter her heart?
...
Ling Yiran hurried to the floor of the inpatient pediatrics department. She told the nurse at the nurse's desk Lil Yan's name and found the ward.
Lil Yan was already asleep.
Lying in the hospital bed, the little one had thick white bandages around his shin, and his face was bruised. Even though the little one's eyes were closed, they were obviously swollen. It looked like he had been beaten.
Mrs. Zhuo was sitting by Lil Yan's hospital bed, tears silently streaming down her face.
Ling Yiran guessed that it was because Kong Ziyin had deliberately mentioned Sis Zhuo's imprisonment at the kindergarten’s gates, so the story spread around the kindergarten—so much so that even the children would run up to Lil Yan and say such things.
Just then, Zhuo Qianyun also entered the room. As soon as she saw Ling Yiran, she said, "It's late yet you still came over. Thank you so much for earlier. I'll pay you back tomorrow."
"Take your time," said Ling Yiran as she looked at Zhuo Qianyun's tired face with red eyes. Her face was utterly pale under the lights. "Sis Zhuo, I heard about Lil Yan's incident from Aunt. He probably fought those kids today to defend you."
"Yeah, I know." Zhuo Qianyun looked gently at her sleeping son. She naturally knew that her son did not like others saying she was a bad person.
However, Lil Yan did not know that in the eyes of the world, she deserved to be imprisoned. She was a bad woman!
