Chapter 193: Why Bother

Wen Yi grabbed his arm, "Don't, don't call..."

"Why not?" He had already dialed, and with a sullen face, he retorted, "He's a man, isn't this the time he should be by your side?"

Wen Yi moved her lips as if to say something but ultimately did not, only offering a faint response, "It's meaningless if it's begged for."

On his end, the phone was already connected, and Ning Shouzheng's voice came through with a "hello."

"Where are you? Mom's sick," he said bluntly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, "Aren't you a doctor?"

"Fine." The image of Wen Yi saying, "It's meaningless if it's begged for," crossed his mind, and he suddenly felt that indeed, if it was begged for, it's meaningless, "I understand, do as you please."

He hung up the phone.

Wen Yi forced a bitter smile, her face looking extremely haggard, "See, so why bother?"

Footsteps sounded from outside the door; it was Ruan Liuzheng returning with medicine and a cup of hot water in her hands.
