Duanmu Que raised his head and looked at me in astonishment. "You know what I'm here for?"
I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head. "I don't know."
His eyes suddenly became very gentle, and for a moment, I felt that he had returned to his old self. When he saw my expression change, he immediately became very serious. He stood up with his back to me. "I'm here to see how you're doing. It's best if you don't fall too badly. I don't want to pay for your medical bills."
The cold water Duanmu Que poured on me instantly woke me up. I looked at his back and sneered. "Don't worry. I don't need you to pay for anything."
Duanmu Que paused for a moment. "That's good." Then, he pushed open the door of the ward and walked out. I was left alone in the ward. The quiet atmosphere made my warm heart turn cold again. I couldn't care less. He was no longer the person he used to be. Just let him be.
And so, I stayed in the hospital for two more days. According to the doctor's instructions, I was discharged. On the day I was discharged, my parents, Xiao Fengya, and Xinyao all came to pick me up. My parents helped me pack my luggage, and Xiao Fengya helped me with the discharge procedures. Xinyao held my hand and looked at me with a worried expression. "Sister-in-law, are you okay? After Dad and I were discharged, Mom told me about it. I was so angry. How could my brother be like that? Sister-in-law, are you okay now?" Xinyao held my arm and looked at me carefully.
I held her hand and said, "Girl, I'm fine now. I'm much better. Don't worry. The main thing is, I have something I need to trouble you with."
Xinyao looked at me suspiciously. "Sister-in-law, if there's anything you need, just tell me. There's no need to be polite. What do you need me to do? As long as I can do it, I'll do my best."
I looked at her with a smile and said, "It's like this. After I go back, it won't be convenient for me to share a room with Xiao Que. However, I'm not used to living in the guest room at home. I want to stay in your room for a dozen or so days. When Duanmu Que and I agree to divorce, I'll leave. What do you think?"
Xinyao was stunned for a moment, then she looked at me and said, "Sister-in-law, that's not a problem. I still want to live with Sister-in-law, but I still can't accept the fact that you and my brother are divorced. When I go back, I must have a good talk with my brother. I must educate him!"
At this moment, my mother walked up to us. She looked at Xinyao and said, "Xinyao, thank you for caring so much about our family's Xiao Li. You don't have to talk to Duanmu Que anymore. Our family has already accepted this fact. So, for the next ten days, please take care of our family's Xiao Li."
Xinyao looked at my mother and said, "Auntie, don't worry. I will take good care of my sister-in-law. My brother won't bully her anymore."
"That's good. We're almost done. Let's go." My mother looked around the room to make sure she didn't leave anything behind. Then, she pulled me out of the room.
After we left the hospital, my parents didn't follow me back to Duanmu's house. I got into Xiao Fengya's car and drove with them to Duanmu's house. On the way home, Xinyao told me about Duanmu Tachio's situation. Because of the timely treatment, Duanmu Tachio's body didn't have any major problems. He had already returned home a day earlier than me.
While we were talking, we arrived at Duanmu's house. When the car drove into the courtyard, Duanmu Que, Yu Xin, and Suri were waiting at the door to welcome us. After we got out of the car, they walked over to greet us. I walked past Duanmu Que and looked at him, but we didn't say anything. I walked straight into the living room. Duanmu Tachio was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When he saw us enter, he stood up and looked at me. "You're back. How are you feeling?"
I smiled at Duanmu Tachio and said, "Dad, I'm fine. I'm much better now. I've made you worry. How are you?"
"I'm fine. It's all thanks to this kid, Suri. He took me to the hospital in time and let me receive timely treatment. Did you bring this kid here?" Duanmu Tachio asked me.
At this time, Xinyao walked in front of me and looked at Duanmu Tachio. "Dad, Suri is sister-in-law's personal bodyguard. She brought him here. But when you were in trouble, she didn't have time to tell you."
Duanmu Tachio nodded. "Oh, so that's how it is. Suri is a good kid. I don't have to worry about him following Xiao Li. In the future, let him follow Xiao Li. Also, tell the housekeeper to arrange a guest room for him."
Suri quickly walked to the front and looked at Duanmu Tachio. "Thank you, President Duanmu. Thank you."
Duanmu Tachio smiled at Suri. Then, he looked at me and said, "Xiao Li, your father already called me. Since your elder brother has agreed, I'm willing to respect his decision. This time, when I wasn't at home, something like this happened. It was an accident. But for Xiao Li's safety, I've decided to let Xiao Li stay in the guest room. "
Xinyao looked at me, then looked at Duanmu Lixiong and said, "Father, don't let sister-in-law stay in the guest room. It's been a long time since I was able to endure the guest room. It's cold and cheerless. It's better to let sister-in-law stay with me. This way, it'll be more convenient for us to talk, okay?"
Duanmu Tachio looked at me and nodded. Then, he said to Xinyao, "That's good too. I can rest assured."
"Wait!" At that moment, Duanmu Que walked in front of me from behind. He looked at my face and said, "Dad, let her stay in the bedroom."
I was stunned and looked at Duanmu Que. I couldn't guess what he meant. Was he going to continue torturing me? Duanmu Tachio looked at Duanmu Que and said, "Que 'er, you've already hurt Xiao Li so much. Why do you want her to go back? To continue being tortured by you? "
Duanmu Que turned to Duanmu Tachio and said, "Dad, I already know. I won't do it again. Also, I can vaguely remember a few things recently. She's in every one of them. I want to ask her something."
As soon as Duanmu Que finished speaking, Yu Xin stuck to his side and looked at him. "Duanmu -gege, don't think about it. Did you forget? Once you think about it, your head hurts. "
Duanmu Que shook his head. "It really hurts. But recently, the images have become clearer and clearer. I can also see that the person is Cold Glaze. I keep feeling like I'm forgetting something. I remember now."
Duanmu Tachio and Xiao Fengya looked at each other. Then, they looked at Duanmu Que and said, "I don't think it's safe. After all, your temper is very bad right now."
Duanmu Que looked at Duanmu Tachio and said, "Dad, I hope you can believe me. If I say I won't hurt her again, I definitely won't."
