Lu Youting left, and Jian Si was arranged to return to the hospital room next to Lu Yanbai.
Thinking that her thoughts had been on Chenbao these past few days, she had neglected Xiao Bai. She deliberately took a bath and changed into clean clothes to visit Xiao Bai in the hospital.
Lu Yanbai lay quietly on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought.
Jian Si walked over, lay down beside him, and habitually reached out to embrace him, but he dodged her, turned around, and lay with his back to her.
"…?" Jian Si was startled, sensing something was off, and asked with concern, "Xiao Bai, what's wrong? Are you feeling upset? Tell Mommy, why are you upset?"
Lu Yanbai remained silent, still facing away from her.
This time, Jian Si realized that things seemed far more serious than she had thought.
Throughout their time knowing each other, Xiao Bai had never ignored her like this.
