After Liang Yu and the other two returned to the hospital, Liang Yu and Lin Xiao helped Zhao Wen out of the car, one on each side, and slowly walked towards the emergency room.

Zhao Wen had several minor injuries and a dislocated right knee, making each step difficult, yet she stubbornly refused to use too much leverage, whispering:

"Miss Liang, Miss Lin, I can manage on my own, there's no need to trouble you."

Liang Yu replied with concern:

"What kind of time is this to say such things?"

"You hurt your leg protecting me, so stop being stubborn and let's get to the doctor right away."

Lin Xiao quickly chimed in:

"That's right, Zhao Wen, don't push yourself. Your legs are too weak to support you. It's not difficult for us to help you. Let's walk a little further and I'll go rent a wheelchair."

After entering the emergency room, Lin Xiao quickly registered for orthopedics and then rushed to the hospital service desk to rent a wheelchair.

Liang Yu and Lin Xiao carefully helped Zhao Wen into the wheelchair, adjusted the height of the wheelchair, and gently placed Zhao Wen's right leg on the footrest to avoid putting pressure on her joint.

Zhao Wen thanked them weakly:

"Thank you both for your hard work."

As she spoke, Zhao Wen's forehead was already covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

Lin Xiao quickly pushed the wheelchair towards the examination room, saying anxiously:

"Zhao Wen, stop talking and conserve your energy."

Zhao Wen's back and shoulder injuries were not very serious, but her right knee was dislocated, and the joint was obviously swollen and deformed.

After a thorough examination, the doctor performed a joint repositioning on Zhao Wen, and then a nurse treated the rest of her wounds.

Liang Yu recorded the doctor's instructions on his phone and sent them to Zhao Wen.

After the three of them came out of the consultation room, Liang Yu said to Lin Xiao:

"Xiaoxiao, could you please take care of Zhao Wen? I need to go to the ward right away to check on my grandmother's condition."

Lin Xiao nodded and said:

"No problem, you go ahead, I'll take Zhao Wen home."

Liang Yu said "okay," and then said to Zhao Wen:

"Ms. Zhao, thank you so much for today. Please go home and rest well. If you need anything, just tell Lin Xiao. Don't be shy with us. I'll come visit you later."

Just as Liang Yu was about to turn and leave, Zhao Wen grabbed his wrist and asked in a serious tone:

"Miss Liang, are you in such a hurry to leave because your grandmother has some kind of special condition?"

Liang Yu was taken aback, and replied with a heavy heart:

"I was just away for a little longer than usual, and I was a little worried about Grandma. Don't worry about it."

Although Liang Yu said this, the anxiety in her eyes was undeniable when she mentioned her grandmother.

Zhao Wen immediately noticed the anxiety Liang Yu felt when he mentioned his grandmother.

Considering Cao Lan's private conversation with Liang Yu, Zhao Wen immediately guessed that Cao Lan might have used her grandmother's safety to threaten Liang Yu.

She immediately continued speaking to Liang Yu:

"Ms. Liang, it's not convenient for me to go home to recover; I need to be hospitalized."

Liang Yu immediately looked at Lin Xiao and asked:

"Is it possible for Ms. Zhao to be hospitalized for recuperation?"

Lin Xiao scratched his head and stammered:

"We'll have to see if there are any available beds in the orthopedic ward..."

Zhao Wen immediately replied:

"Ms. Liang, I can rest in the corridor outside your grandmother's ward for a while. That way, if anything happens to me, you can help me out, okay?"

Liang Yu replied in surprise:

"How can that be? You injured your right leg and need to rest. You can't stay in the hospital corridor. If you don't have anyone at home to take care of you, I'll hire a caregiver for you."

Zhao Wen did not insist further, but instead said:

"Okay, then I'll try my luck in the orthopedic ward first."

Liang Yu gave a soft "hmm," then waved to the two of them and hurried anxiously toward her grandmother's ward.

Watching Liang Yu's hurried departure, Zhao Wen looked up at Lin Xiao and asked:

"Ms. Lin, have you noticed that Ms. Liang seems more worried about her grandmother than usual?"

Reminded by Zhao Wen, Lin Xiao immediately chimed in:

Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense to me.

Lin Xiao frowned unconsciously and muttered:

"That's strange, Xiaoyu is in such a hurry, could it be because Grandma has some special condition?"

Zhao Wen quickly replied:

"Miss Lin, since you also find it strange, let's go after them now and accompany Miss Liang to visit her grandmother."

Lin Xiao was about to agree immediately, but after glancing at Zhao Wen's right leg, she changed her mind:

"Ms. Zhao, your leg is also very important right now. Why don't we go back and see a doctor to ask if you can be hospitalized?"

As Lin Xiao spoke, she pushed Zhao Wen toward the consultation room they had just left.

As Liang Yugang approached the entrance to his grandmother's hospital room, he saw a familiar face.

Qin Xia, dressed in a well-tailored Chanel suit, was walking out of Fang Ze's hospital room.

The moment Qin Xia saw Liang Yu, her face darkened, and the disgust in her eyes almost overflowed.

She casually closed the ward door and walked towards Liang Yu with a fierce expression.

Qin Xia had only taken two steps when she began to reprimand him in a low, sharp voice:

"You useless piece of trash, you actually know how to come to the hospital?!"

"Our Fang family must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry a useless cripple like you who only knows how to spend money!"

"My son works so hard, and has so much to do at the company. Not only do you not understand or care for him, but you also make him angry all the time, causing him to collapse and be hospitalized from exhaustion. What are you up to?!"

Liang Yu lowered his eyelashes and ignored Qin Xia.

Seeing that Liang Yu remained silent, Qin Xia took it as a tacit agreement and her tone became increasingly arrogant and sarcastic, pressing him relentlessly:

"Let me tell you, Liang Yu, now that you've married into the Fang family, you should behave yourself and take good care of my son!"

"My son has never suffered a single hardship in his life. This hospitalization is entirely your fault. If you had any conscience at all, you should have stayed by his bedside and taken good care of him!"

"Instead of using my son's money to go shopping and have fun with other people!"

Liang Yu's hands, hanging limply at his sides, began to tremble involuntarily.

She looked up at Qin Xia, her face expressionless, her eyes calm as still water, and said in a cold voice:

"This is between Fang Ze and me, no need for you to worry about it."

"Also, this is a hospital, please shut up so as not to disturb the other patients."

Qin Xia glared at Liang Yu and began to hurl insults at him:

"You piece of trash, you dare tell me to shut up?! What? Are you afraid someone will hear you and know you're just a useless cripple who only knows how to spend money?!"

"You believe me or not, I'll have my son kick you! Without my son, you piece of trash, you'd be left only to scavenge for food on the street!"

As Qin Xia spoke, she stretched out a hand, preparing to shove Liang Yu.

Just as Qin Xia's hand was about to touch Liang Yu's sleeve, a hoarse voice came from behind her:

"Mom, stop!"

Qin Xia paused, then immediately turned around to look.

Fang Ze actually appeared at the door.

Fang Ze was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he walked out of the ward step by step with an IV needle in his left hand and the IV pole in his right.

The IV bag swayed gently with his movements, and the skin at the injection site was slightly red, making it seem as if he was having a hard time walking.

Upon seeing Fang Ze, Qin Xia's anger vanished instantly, replaced by heartache and panic. She said with concern:

"Son, why are you out here? You're still on an IV drip. Go back and lie down. You haven't recovered yet; how can you walk around like this?"

Fang Ze did not reply to Qin Xia.

His gaze passed over Qin Xia and landed directly on Liang Yu.

Fang Ze's gaze swept over Liang Yu's slightly trembling hands, then he looked at Qin Xia, his tone carrying a hint of reproach:

"Mom, please don't make things difficult for Xiaoyu, and you mustn't scold her."

Qin Xia suddenly became anxious, her eyes reddening, and blurted out:

"Son, why are you still helping this good-for-nothing?"

"It's this disability that caused your hospitalization, why are you still protecting this useless person?"

"Enough!" Fang Ze's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, and as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but clench his fist to cover his mouth and cough violently.

"Cough, cough..." The cough was hoarse and weak, and his shoulders trembled incessantly, causing the IV pole to sway slightly.

The stinging pain at the IV needle site made him furrow his brow and turn even paler. It took him a while to recover, and he said weakly, "..."

"Mom, you're not allowed to talk about Xiaoyu like that. I don't want to hear you say such things about Xiaoyu."

"Alright, Mom, you should go back now. Don't make things difficult for Xiaoyu here."

Seeing Fang Ze's weak appearance, Qin Xia's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Qin Xia stood there, looking at Fang Ze with a pained expression, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke:

"Son, you're already like this, why are you still protecting her? Go back and lie down, don't torture yourself anymore."

Qin Xia ultimately couldn't bear to anger Fang Ze.

She gritted her teeth, glared fiercely at Liang Yu, then turned to look at Fang Ze, her tone a mixture of resentment and helplessness:

"Okay, I'm leaving, but son, you must take good care of yourself and don't worry about unrelated people."

After Qin Xia finished speaking, she glanced at Fang Ze with concern, then turned around and angrily rubbed Liang Yu's arm as she walked towards the elevator.

The doorway to the ward fell silent instantly, with only the clear "drip-drip" of the IV drip clearly audible.

Fang Ze looked at Liang Yu with remorse and said softly:

"Xiao Yu, I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."

Liang Yu walked to the door of her grandmother's hospital room, looked up at Fang Ze, and said in a casual tone:

"Which time are you referring to when you apologize? This time? Or many times before?"

Fang Ze asked with a puzzled look in his eyes:

"What do you mean?"

Liang Yu smiled calmly and explained:

"Your mother has always called me 'a useless piece of trash, a useless cripple' to my face. You just never heard it before."

After Liang Yu finished speaking, he raised his hand, opened the ward door, stepped forward, walked directly into the ward, and closed the door behind him.

Fang Ze was left standing alone at the door of the ward, looking completely bewildered.

Fang Ze stood frozen in place, motionless, as if he had been doused with ice water from head to toe.

A belated pain slowly climbed up his spine, finally drilling into his chest cavity and nailing itself to his heart.

I have a tight, unbearable pain in my chest and can't breathe.

He was completely unaware that Liang Yu had been silently enduring the insults and belittling from his mother.
