The 99th Divorce

From the tone of his voice, he sounded sincerely concerned. Yu Lili felt it was unlikely that he was an enemy of Wen Fenglin. After giving it some thought, she ended up deleting the entry from the call log anyway.

Yu Lili reached the room that Wen Fenglin was in. As she entered, she could see that the frequency of his heartbeat appeared to be normal, but his face was extremely pale. His eyes were closed, making him appear unconscious.

Yu Lili had just placed his phone by his bedside when a shrill ringtone suddenly sounded. The ringtone pierced the quiet and peaceful surroundings of the Intensive care unit and gave Yu Lili a shock.

She quickly picked the phone up. When she saw whom the call was coming from, she answered the phone immediately. “Uncle Ou,” she greeted.

Ou Huojin was surprised to hear Yu Lili’s voice. “Why are you picking up the phone? Where is Lao Wen?”

“Uncle Wen fainted in the stairwell just now. He was sent to the Emergency department and just came out,” Yu Lili said.

Ou Huojin was thunderstruck. “How did that happen? What’s the situation now?” he asked.

“He’s out of danger,” Yu Lili said.

“Which room is he in?” Ou Huojin asked.

Yu Lili gave him the relevant information and hung up the phone. When she turned back around, she was met with Wen Fenglin’s eyes staring right at her.

She nearly jumped out of her skin. When she recovered her breath, she glanced at the phone still in her hand. With a tight smile covering her apparent guilty conscience, she said, “That was Ou Ming’s father. He was asking about you.”

Wen Fenglin nodded his head slightly and asked in a small voice, “Were you the one who saved me?”

“No. A doctor who was passing by saw you and sent you to the Emergency department. A nurse came later to tell me about it.” As Yu Lili spoke, she began to feel a little uneasy. “Uncle Wen, are you on bad terms with your family?”

When Wen Fenglin heard the question, he gave Yu Lili a strange look. He then smiled and said, “I don’t have any family. Have you forgotten? People call me the impoverished Vagabond Artist.”

His white hair was spread out on the pillow, and his eyes, without his glasses, seemed to be smaller. On his pale face, two dimples appeared.

Yu Lili felt a little awkward. Apparently, Uncle Wen’s relationship with his family was a lot more complicated than simply a case of “bad terms.” From the looks of it, her good intentions may have resulted in a wrong action. A very wrong action.

With an odd expression, Yu Lili looked at Wen Fenglin and said, “Uncle Wen…”

Coming clean early would be the easiest way out…

Just as Yu Lili was about to confess, her phone suddenly rang.

Yu Lili kicked herself silently as she picked the phone up. One look and she could tell that the call was coming from Zhuang, which meant the caller was Wen Fenglin’s nephew.

She was a little out of sorts as she said, “I’m going out to answer a call.”

Before she had even finished her sentence, she was already out the door. She made sure the door was closed before answering the call.

“Miss Yu, which room is he in? I’ll head over in a moment,” Wen Hejiu said.

“No, no. That won’t be necessary. You don’t have to come over.” Yu Lili really wanted to strangle herself. “Mr. Wen, can you please tell me if the family and Uncle Wen have a grudge or a wedge between them?”

Wen Hejiu was silent for a moment. He then said, “Are you trying to prevent me from seeing my uncle?”

“Yes,” Yu Lili answered straightforwardly without beating around the bush. “I tried to probe Uncle Wen a little just now, and he doesn’t seem to welcome you.”
