Stealing Your Heart Chapter 360
Her words silenced Su Zhan as he hung his head. It was a pitiful sight, but Lin Xinyan did not give in. Only her tone had softened a bit. “You should focus on your work. Grandma needs you too. I’ll take care of Qin Ya. Like I said earlier, I’ll tell you where she is when she recovers. Can you promise me not to disturb her for now?”
Su Zhan’s voice was hoarse. “Did she ask for this?”
Lin Xinyan sighed. Do I really have to answer this? I won’t be this firm if Qin Ya’s willing to meet him. Isn’t the nurse stopping him enough of an answer?
“I understand,” Su Zhan stated before leaving with his head down.
“Give me a call later,” Zong Jinghao uttered to his wife.
“Okay,” she responded while nodding her head.
With that, the man caught up with Su Zhan, worried that the latter would take things too hard. “He didn’t hurt you, did he?” Lin Xinyan asked the nurse when the men left.
The nurse waved her hand. “No, no. I’ve seen a lot of visitors like him. I can handle it.”
“How is she?” Lin Xinyan asked.
“She’s getting better. She does not need to stay in the ICU anymore.”
“I’ll take her to get treatment abroad within two days. Can she stay here until then?” she questioned, fearing that Su Zhan would return.
“Of course, as long as you pay for it.”
The ICU would cost tens of thousands a day. That was why many people try to stay in that ward for only a short while. After all, most people could not afford to pay such a huge sum of money.
“Can I go in?”
“Yes,” the nurse replied and opened the door.
Lin Xinyan still needed to change out of her clothes even when Qin Ya was no longer in a critical condition.
The latter was lying in bed. She could not move around that much.
Lin Xinyan walked over and lowered her head to look at her friend. When the thought of Su Zhan making a fuss entered her mind, she could not make out the other woman’s emotions as her face was covered. Howbeit, the latter did not seem as calm as she appeared to be.
“Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Lin Xinyan asked softly.
“No. I just want to leave this place as fast as I can,” Qin Ya replied.
“I know. I’ve already arranged everything. We’ll leave in two days,” Lin Xinyan reassured. “Don’t worry. Su Zhan won’t come here anymore.”
Her reply soothed Qin Ya. “I really don’t want to see him.”
Lin Xinyan understood.
I would feel the same if I were in her shoes.
Unlike the general ward, the ICU did not have any chairs for visitors. The ward was too enclosed and brightly lit; Qin Ya would have no sense of time in there if she did not inquire about it.
“What time is it?”
Lin Xinyan checked the time before replying, “It’s almost midnight.”
“Then you better head home now,” Qin Ya responded a bit apologetically.
“You know, when I get customers in the store, it’s not like I can sleep when I return home. I have to stay up and draw,” Lin Xinyan reminded her friend, trying to make her feel at ease. “I’ll stay here a bit longer. I have to think of the design anyway.”
Qin Ya did not voice anything, but she was secretly grateful to have a friend like Lin Xinyan.
