“I’m not feeling well. Please go back.”

Yu Fei’s stiffly poker face suddenly shows a brilliant smile, which seems like a flash in the pan. She becomes expressionless again before her smile impresses Ko Chen.

She lies down again with the help of Gu Yi, turns over her back to Ko Chen and Yu Yu, evincing a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Humming from nose, Yu Yu doesn’t care her action at all, and she holds Ko Chen’s arm with smile.

The smell of vulgar perfume pours into his nose, and Ko Chen frowns slightly. Nobody notices it except Gu Yi, who has been observing him all the time.

Seeing that Ko Chen doesn’t dodge, Yu Yu secretly feels delighted in heart, and comes closer to him, eager to cling to him with a pair of charming eyes, giving no consideration to Yu Fei’s mood at all.

Gu Yi, though silent all the time, is still amazed at the fact that Yu Yu does not care about sisterhood at all. It is clear that she wants to rob her sister’s man.

Turning his eyeballs, Gu Yi has his own idea that if it is necessary in the future, he may be able to join Yu Yu to dismantle Yu Fei and Ko Chen thoroughly…

Not having thought clearly yet, he receives Yu Fei’s eyes for help. Blinking with big and watery eyes, she pouts her lips all the time, indicating that he should expel the two behind him as soon as possible.

Gu Yi replies to her with a “confirmed receiving” expression and speaks slowly in an indisputable way, “Yu Fei is tired. If you want to visit, please come another day.”

As he speaks, he makes a “please” gesture, with an annoying expression.

Ko Chen stares at him gloomily for a long time without moving and even Yu Yu feels something wrong. She looks at him doubtfully, and Ko Chen just regains his sight.

“Let’s go.”

Ko Chen lets out the words vigorously, leaving without any nostalgia. Yu Yu follows him, and the sound of her high-heeled shoes stepping on the floor gradually fades away.

Yu Fei lies on the bed with her back to them until their footsteps approach the door. She could not help turning around and looking over.

This is another blow.

Seeing Ko Chen and Yu Yu’s backs look so matched, Yu Fei feels in a trance. Is the three-year marriage nothing but an illusory dream?

Gu Yi is reluctant to see Yu Fei feeling sad for Ko Chen. He steps forward and grabs her shoulders, forcing her to look at him.

Her eyes are dull and pupils lose focus. She is like a dilapidated Barbie doll with a beautiful shell but no soul.

“Yu Fei, look at me, look at my eyes.” Gu Yi repeats his words over and over, but Yu Fei never responds. She is completely immersed in her own world, isolating herself from the outside world.

Realizing that Yu Fei is not in the right state, Gu Yi hurriedly rings the alarm bell at the head of the bed. A few seconds later, the doctor who has operated on her rushes over and asks nervously what has happened.

Gu Yi doesn’t tell in detail, just states simply Yu Fei’s condition. After hearing that, the doctor’s face turns black.

Seeing his response, Gu Yi immediately understands that Yu Fei’s present situation is not particularly optimistic.

Indeed, after a series of examinations, the doctor announces the result that the patient was greatly stimulated after the operation, resulting in temporary mental and sensory disorders, and she is unable to communicate with people normally, and even worse, her illness will evolve into severe mental one.

“I have stressed many times that the patient should not be stimulated. You just don’t listen. Now the situation is much more difficult. I can only promise to do my best.” After saying that, the doctor leaves. The doctor hurries to use Yu Fei’s illness as a case, thinking of gathering ideas in the international forum.

Much as he has been mentally prepared, Gu Yi does not realize that Yu Fei’s situation is serious like that. He looks at Yu Fei in dismay, feeling a complex mood. Yu Fei, have you already loved Ko Chen like this?

Maybe because he has been staring at Yu Fei, she has feeling, suddenly looking up to him, and unexpectedly shows a smile that is innocent and totally different from her bitter smile before. Her innocent appearance is like a child who does not know the world at all.

But even so, Yu Fei never opens her mouth again as if she lost her ability to speak completely.

As soon as Ko Chen and Yu Yu step out of the ward, he slaps away the woman’s hand severely and dusts the sleeve of his suit several times with disgust. At last, he still feels inadequate, so he simply takes off his suit and throws it into the trash can without looking.

His entire action is like flowing clouds without any nostalgia.

Yu Yu is hurt by his changed attitudes, especially when she sees that Ko Chen has so disregarded her ideas and hurt her so frankly. Her long pointed nails pierce deeply into her palm, and a crazy mood grows and spreads gradually.

“Ko Chen!” She growls out the man’s name and her eyes blush.

Hearing her voice, Ko Chen suddenly turns back, reaching out his big hand and grabbing her arm. Yu Yu’s eyes brighten, thinking that he is going to say something to her, so she murmurs unconsciously, “Chen…”

Before she utters a word, Ko Chen pulls her into the next emergency corridor, just in time to avoid the doctor who comes to check.

Ko Chen’s hand is full of strength and the grabbed part of her hand immediately becomes red, which is particularly obvious on her white skin.

“Chen, you hurt me!” Yu Yu shouts discontentedly. Ko Chen closes the door of the entrance, and the woman’s voice echoes back and forth in the corridor and takes a long time to die down.

Ko Chen loosens Yu Yu and stands in front of her with a cold face.

Seeing Ko Chen’s expression, a tremor suddenly rises from her heart, and she unconsciously becomes silent.

They stand face to face that way. Once Ko Chen thinks of Yu Yu who almost killed Yu Fei, his heart burst into a rage, which even urges him to finish the woman immediately. However, he is restrained by the reason which still lingers in his mind. It is not the time to work now. If the solution is not good, it may backfire and make Yu Yu more jealous of Yu Fei.

Yu Yu and her mother are both of the same mould completely, and not good things.

Ko Chen thinks of the picture of her and her mother meeting in the cafe that Uncle Zhang showed him. Even using his toe, he can tell they are plotting to frame Yu Fei.

Thinking of this Ko Chen’s eyes suddenly become colder, and an atmosphere of oppression envelops him unconsciously.

Yu Yu intuitively perceives the danger, swallowing saliva subconsciously, and retreats step by step.

“Chen, why do you look at me in this way?”
