Cracks Have Already Surfaced

When He Yian walked into the ward, Shi Qianduo had already woken up. She was sitting on the bed in a daze. When she saw him, she asked subconsciously, "What did the doctor say?"

He Yian passed the test results to her. "There were traces of drugs in your blood."

Shi Qianduo was shocked and did not speak for a long time.

He Yian did not say anything either and just looked at her quietly.

After a moment of silence, Shi Qianduo remembered the white fungus soup. She frantically took out her phone and dialed Zhou Ting's number. However, before she could speak, Zhou Ting said anxiously, "Oh my God, you finally picked up the phone! You didn't drink that bowl of white fungus soup, did you? My brother sent it for testing and it turned out to have drugs in it! Shen Liuchun, that vicious woman, must have gone crazy. How dare she use such a sinister method! In order to deal with you, she's willing to do anything!"

Shi Qianduo did not say anything. She bit her lips until they turned white. She had been prepared for this, but she was still tricked!

"Let's call the police. " Zhou Ting said angrily.

However, Shi Qianduo rejected her, "Even if we know that the problem lies with the white fungus soup, who can prove that it was Shen Liuchun who made it? We don't have any evidence, and if we don't handle the matter well, we'll be implicated. We'll bide our time." She had underestimated her enemy this time. She could not blame anyone, but she would remember this.

Her phone was not loud, but it was not exactly soft in the quiet ward either. He Yian must have heard it, and Shi Qianduo did not want to keep anything from him.

He Yian did not say much and just looked at her with a deep gaze. No one could tell what he was thinking.

Shi Qianduo put down the phone and looked at him. Her eyes were sparkling. Those were tears. She was only nineteen years old. How could she not be afraid? "Did the doctor say it's serious? I only drank a little..."

"You're not addicted yet. It's a good thing you don't drink much." He Yian answered.

With that, Shi Qianduo's calmed down immediately. Then, the two of them fell silent again.

He Yian looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock. "You should rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Shi Qianduo nodded. She looked at his back and suddenly called out to him, "Thank you... For today."

She thanked him for sending her to the hospital.

He Yian stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. "Mm." Then he left.

Shi Qianduo looked at the closed door and pouted. Why did this person not even say 'you're welcome'?

Although Shi Qianduo's condition was not serious, she still stayed in the hospital for two days to be on the safe side. She told the people that it was pneumonia caused by a high fever.

When Shi Boyong called, there was only scolding, as if her illness was also her fault.

Shen Liuchun and her daughter had also visited a few times. They asked about her well-being and even brought her some black chicken soup. Of course, Shi Qianduo did not even take a bite of that.

On the last day of Shi Qianduo's hospitalization, Tao Zisheng and his mother, Li Yinghong, also came to visit, which surprised Shi Qianduo.

When she saw Li Yinghong, Shi Qianduo greeted her obediently like she always did, "Aunty, brother Zisheng, why are you here?"

Li Yinghong sat by the bed and held Shi Qianduo's hand affectionately. "I heard Kaiqi say you were sick, so I wanted to come and see you. You were too careless. If your mother knew, she would definitely be worried."

"It was my fault. I caught a cold a few days ago and then I had a fever. I didn't care and thought I would be fine in a few days. I didn't expect it to be pneumonia." Shi Qianduo said in a low voice. She did not think that Shen Kaiqi would deliberately let the Tao family know. She must have had other motives. She was probably worried that the matter would be exposed, so she used Li Yinghong to test the waters.

However, she did not expect Shi Qianduo to see Li Yinghong as a lifeline, let alone say anything to her.

Li Yinghong expressed her concern for a moment before finding an opportunity to leave. Tao Zisheng and Shi Qianduo were left behind.

Shi Qianduo did not say anything. She did not understand what this family had planned, so she could only wait and see.

Tao Zisheng stood at the side, a little embarrassed, "Kaiqi said you're sick. My mom and I are very worried about you."

"Thank you for your concern." Shi Qianduo said coldly.

Tao Zisheng felt guilty and did not expect her to be jovial. Then he took out a jewelry box. "I've already had someone repair the necklace. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see the cracks."

Shi Qianduo's eyes turned cold. "You're returning it to me? Are you sure you shouldn't give it to Shen Kaiqi?"

Her words made Tao Zisheng feel ashamed. He had already been scolded by Li Yinghong for this matter. He would never have thought that this necklace was actually the wedding gift Li Yinghong had given to Gan Tingyu! He also had some complaints about Shen Kaiqi, but she was delicate, so he could not bear to criticize her...

Shi Qianduo held the broken part of the necklace and said softly, "The crack is already there. No matter how well it's repaired, it can't be covered up. We can't go back to the past. What a pity..."
