Chen's mother chatted with them for a while, smiling, then grew tired.
Chen Zhi tucked her mother in and as she looked up, she saw Zhuo Yi just reaching the doorway.
She whispered to Aunt Xu that she had to step out for a bit, then got up and left the ward, smiling as she greeted Zhuo Yi outside, "Hello, Dr. Zhuo. Are you here for me?"
Zhuo Yi smiled faintly, revealing two deep dimples, "May I have a word with you?"
"Sure."
The two went to the hospital's garden and chatted as they walked.
"Miss Chen, I just have a few questions I'd like to ask you."
"Please, go ahead." Chen Zhi was very polite and friendly towards him because Zhuo Yi had performed surgery on her mother, so she was extremely grateful to him.
Zhuo Yi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Have anything happened between you and Ye recently? I'm asking this because he's been preoccupied lately, and I want to know what's troubling him."
