He looked so aggrieved, he was practically about to burst into tears.

Yu Lian ignored him and explained the specific time and address to Li Yanshen.

Only then did he hang up the phone, having time to deal with He Lin's minor emotional outburst.

"Is it my fault for not consulting you, or for helping Li Yanshen?"

He Lin remained silent.

"It seems he has both, but I ran into him by chance. He's really having a hard time. You didn't even see that he's just skin and bones."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Yu Lian continued, "Regardless of whether it's Li Yanshen or not, I would lend a helping hand to anyone who sees him like this, as long as they are friends. He Lin, do you understand?"

Finally, He Lin showed a slight reaction. He slowly raised his head and looked directly at the person in front of him, as if he had surrendered. He reached out and hugged her, resting his head on her shoulder: "I wish you could be a little more indifferent and not care about others."

He didn't stay leaning for long, standing up as if fully recharged: "Okay, I got it. I'll keep an eye on him. If he dares to..."

"Mmm, don't be sad, I made you something delicious to make it up to you."

After having dinner with He Lin, Yu Lian left home with her things.

When they arrived at the hospital, only the couple remained in the ward.

Yu Jinbu and Wang Meixia have just left.

"Go back and rest. I'll take care of Yu Xin."

Zhuo Heng looked at Yu Xin, then at Yu Lian, unsure of what to do.

"What are you standing there for? I told you to leave."

Yu Xin urged him on, and Zhuo Heng, whose expression was not good, reluctantly agreed, glanced at his daughter, and left the ward.

"I just asked, and the doctor said to observe the wound's healing process. If there are no problems, I can be discharged in about two weeks."

Yu Xin didn't answer, she just smiled foolishly and stared at her sister.

Yu Lian knew exactly what her younger sister was thinking.

If it hadn't been discovered that Zhuo Heng really had a problem, she might still be angry now.

"Poor little sister," Yu Lian cried out in her heart.

Since her younger sister got married, she has been constantly reflecting on whether her own problems shaped her sister's personality.

"Yu Xin, have I been too mean to you before?"

Yu Xin was terrified when her sister suddenly asked this question. "Sister, why are you asking this? You've been so good to me, sometimes even more responsible than Mom. If you hadn't ruined your marriage and reputation, I would have died long ago."

The more Yu Xin spoke, the softer her voice became.

She felt more and more that the facts she had spoken were a slap in the face to herself.

The difference between how the older sister treats her and how she treats the older sister is obvious – who is better and who is worse?

"Sister, I'm sorry."

Yu Lian was making the bed with her back to her sister. When she saw her sister apologize, she stopped what she was doing and turned around.

"Sorry for what? You haven't answered my question yet, tell the truth."

Yu Xin shook her head. "Sister, you are the best person to me in the world. I didn't listen to you, but if I had to choose again, I would still choose to marry Zhuo Heng."

Yu Lian closed her eyes; she shouldn't have been given a chance to speak. She's been getting more and more annoying every day.

"But sister, Zhuo Heng is really good to me. I know you are disappointed that he has someone else in his heart and still married me, but I don't mind. I like Zhuo Heng, and even if it's just for a year or two, I won't regret being with him."

At this moment, Yu Lian completely regretted saying during the day that she would stay with him at night, and she wished she could slap herself.

But Yu Xin wasn't going to stop.

"Sister, please sit down first. You can get angry after I finish speaking. You've sacrificed so much for me since I was little, and I've never been able to do anything to repay you. I originally wanted to join the company so I could at least help you a little, but you've seen that I'm not capable. Brother Zhuo Heng doesn't look down on me at all and always does his best to help me, just like you..."

She said uncertainly, "I don't know if I've fallen for Zhuo Heng because he's as good as you, but I don't want to give up. He's the first person I've ever liked. You said I have the right to pursue what I want, right?"

Yu Lian suddenly shrank back, wondering how the boomerang could fly back at her.

"Yes! That's right, but I didn't ask you to do anything foolish."

"But I don't think it's a stupid thing to do. Sister, didn't you say you didn't like my brother-in-law and wanted to divorce him? But you two are doing well now, even happier than most people."

Yu Lian quietly observed her younger sister. She was truly different now; she was no longer just a little girl who would only stand behind her.

Perhaps only through experience can one grow quickly. Before Zhuo Heng spoke, she felt she should remain silent from this moment on.

No more effort to get involved

"Okay, Yu Xin, wait a while—let's wait a month. If you can still live peacefully with Zhuo Heng, then I'll accept him as my brother-in-law."

Yu Xin grasped the key point without overthinking it, and said, "Thank you, sister!"

Zhuo Heng, who overheard everything outside the door, felt an even heavier sense of guilt.

He quietly turned and left, drooping like a trapped beast, aimlessly walking towards the front of the corridor.

As evening fell, everything grew dark.

The more obscure and hidden something is, the better it can be concealed; but the less clearly it is seen, the more painful it is for the man's heart. His heart is filled with thorns, and there is no possibility that it will beat again.

"gentlemen!!"

The nurses at the nurses' station spotted the man lying on the spot.

Zhuo Heng was rushed to the emergency room.

Yu Lian went out to get hot water and was bumped into by a nurse.

Upon recognizing her face, the young nurse immediately stepped forward and anxiously inquired, "Are you a family member of the woman living in first-class housing?"

"What's wrong with him?"

"Her husband is unconscious in the hallway and is currently being treated in the emergency room. If you are a family member, please come with me."

Yu Lian didn't hesitate; her subconscious thought was that this kid might have committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

I followed the nurse to the entrance of the emergency room.

After half an hour of emergency treatment, the person was brought back to life.

However, the situation is not optimistic.

"Are you a family member?"

"I'm her sister. What's wrong with her health?"

"The patient has a heart problem and hit a corner when he collapsed, but his head is not seriously injured. I can't make a definitive conclusion yet, but I suspect it might be poisoning. Of course, we still need to wait for the blood test results."

Yu Lian immediately connected this to what Li Yanshen had said.

She followed the doctor on the night shift back to the office and discussed in detail the conclusion regarding Li Yanshen's poisoning.

Yu Lian was completely dumbfounded.

If he wanted to create the illusion that his sister's life was in danger, he would force himself to produce what he believed to be a secret formula that could bring people back to life.

Why would you drug yourself?

"Thank you, doctor. You've worked so hard."

"Okay, family members, don't be nervous. Go to the window to pay."

Yu Lian thanked the doctor, then slowly strolled to where she had made the call and called He Lin.

After hearing this, He Lin remained silent for a moment before revealing his guess.

"Either he was afraid of killing someone if he used too much, or he cared about one of the mother and daughter; if he cared about both, he wouldn't be so beastly as to drug a pregnant woman who was about to give birth."

Yu Lian gets angry just thinking about it. If it weren't for Li Yanshen, her sister would probably have suffered for a whole day and night.

Zhuo Heng is truly ruthless in achieving his goals.

Ultimately, the couple are quite similar in some ways.

I wonder if my sister will still stick to her original choice once she finds out she's been poisoned.
