For the next week, Qiang Luo was slowly getting better and beginning to fully recover from his heart attack.
Qiang Yue felt relieved and attempted—on multiple occasions—to get Xiahu Yunhua to visit.
But she would always refuse with different excuses, such as being busy, tired, etcetera.
It made him suspicious but he didn't ponder because he trusted her. If she wanted to avoid meeting his father for a little while, then that was fine.
He did try to meet Zhou Lang to ask him what aggravated his father so much to the point that it drove him to have a heart attack, but the man had denied to see him or anyone else for the matter.
As for Ling Qiu, she was behaving oddly and avoiding him.
She did greet him every morning, but she didn't act as familiar and playful as before. She would keep distances polite, which confused Qiang Yue as he treated Ling Qiu as a good friend.
Currently, he and Xiahu Yunhua were sitting in his office and they were casually chatting.
She had surprised him with a visit to see how he's doing despite seeing each other the day before. Her concern made Qiang Yue's heart thump with an unfamiliar joy.
At the moment, despite coming for a chat, he was typing away and she quietly sipped the tea he had prepared for her.
"You know, you're supposed to be on break." She mused, looking at the hardworking man. "But from what I see, the only break you're having is when you occasionally look up."
Qiang Yue sheepishly smiled, making her heart flutter. "I apologize. I'm just so packed with work," he sighed, "I'm wasting your time..."
She shook her head, "No way! I came here out of my own accord to see you because I missed you."
When she uttered her last three words, she blushed and averted her eyes shyly.
Qiang Yue chuckled and reached over to pat her head affectionately.
Xiao Yunhua saw his doting expression and knew that she was very close.
Out of her generosity, she looked up and saw the time and offered, "I'll go buy lunch for us to enjoy together."
Before Qiang Yue could refute, she had already stood up and waved him goodbye. "I'll be back in a little bit!"
She walked out and went outside of the hospital to a nearby restaurant. She could've gone to any of the cafeterias in the hospital, but she was sure that he was tired of the familiar food.
She found that the nearby restaurant sold Filipino cuisine and quickly ordered two takeouts for both her and Qiang Yue.
Fifteen minutes later, she walked in the direction of the hospital carrying the plastic bigs with the food.
She was startled to see Ling Qiu by the door, shooting her a frantic look. "Yunhua!"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yunhua immediately recognized the tone of urgency from Ling Qiu.
"Mr. Qiang's condition suddenly worsened... Qiang Yue is falling apart."
Xiao Yunhua gasped in horror.
Wasn't the old man getting better?
Why had he suddenly gotten worse?
She followed Ling Qiu mindlessly to the hospital room of Qiang Luo, not noticing the dark glint in the eyes of the nurse...
