208 Chapter 208 Xia Ningyan was exposed and got the sample of the medicine

"What are you talking about? Why would Shi Jue not like you? Stop thinking about it. Since Shi Jue can't visit you, he sent his most capable bodyguard in his place," Lin Xilan said as she gestured to the Xiao Er.

Xia Ningyan looked at Xiao Er with an eager gaze and hurriedly lowered her head.

After seeing Xia Ningyan's pretentious appearance, Xiao Er despised her even more.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll go back to the young master now." Xiao Er turned around and left.

"Xia Ningyan, don't mind him. Those bodyguards are all the same. The important thing is Shi Jue truly likes you," Lin Xilan said with a comforting tone.

After leaving Xia Ningyan's ward, Xiao Er suddenly entered a different room.

After seeing that no one was inside the room, Xiao Er locked the door. He then took out a device that looked like a small tablet. After turning it on, the small screen showed a live video of Xia Ningyan's ward.

It turned out that while he was standing by the door of Xia Ningyan's ward, Xiao Er installed a small camera. It was placed at an angle that showed the entire ward.

Among Shi Jue's bodyguards, Xiao Er was the best when it came to using gadgets.

"Mom, I'm fine. If you have something to do, go do it," Xia Ningyan said in a weak voice.

"You're so thoughtful, Xia Ningyan. Are you hungry? I can go home and ask one of the servants to cook something delicious for you."

"Thank you, mom."

After Lin Xilan left, the look of discomfort on Xia Ningyan's face immediately disappeared.

She sat up, lifted the quilt covering her body, and got off the bed. She no longer appeared weak and sick.

Xia Ningyan then looked out her ward's window to check if anyone was watching her. She then gathered a few of her things and went into the bathroom.

As soon as Xia Ningyan closed the door of the bathroom, Xiao Er ran towards her ward and entered through the window.

His movements were swift. While going through Xia Ningyan's stuff, he found a needle and a small transparent bag. He then took a small sample of the powder-like substance inside the bag and immediately left the ward.

The ward became empty and quiet again after he left.

With the sample he collected, Xiao Er immediately left the hospital to report to Shi Jue.

As for Xia Weiyang, she had already left the hospital and was on her way home. Suddenly, she came across a familiar yet strange person.

It was her father, Xia Zhixiu.

Xia Weiyang looked at the man walking in front of her.

"Xia Weiyang!" Before she could react, Xia Zhixiu suddenly greeted her.

She was speechless as she looked at him.

She did not know what to call him. She felt that it wasn't right to call him "father" or "uncle" because of her relationship with her family.

As he walked closer, Xia Zhixiu stopped about three steps away from Xia Weiyang. He looked at her with a pair of old and tired eyes.

Xia Zhixiu remained silent as he stared at Xia Weiyang. Feeling annoyed at his silence, Xia Weiyang prepared to walk away. "If you're not going to say anything, I'll just go."

She lifted her foot and began to turn her body.

She still had things to do. She needed to go home to prepare food for Shi Jue and her children.

Also, seeing Xia Zhixiu suddenly reminded her of Xia Ningyan.
