My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.

After Pei Zhengping sent all the caregivers away, he went to find Pei Yichen's attending physician.

"The woman taking care of Yichen in the hospital ward right now, if she ever asks you about Yichen's condition, just tell her he'll never be able to stand up again!"

Although the doctor didn't understand, he nodded in agreement.

After all, the entire hospital is an asset of Boyu Group, so whatever the Pei family says goes.

In addition, Pei Zhengping ordered everyone in the hospital not to reveal Pei Yichen's identity to Jiang Shutong.

He wanted to see how long that woman, Jiang Shutong, could hold out...

-

In the quiet hospital ward.

Jiang Shutong sat on the edge of the bed, quietly observing the handsome but pale and lifeless man on the bed.

His handsome face had several scars, his hands and feet were in casts, and his body was covered with tubes.

His once dark and deep eyes were now tightly closed, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow on his pale face.

Although he lacked his usual cold and sharp demeanor, his jawline remained taut, unable to conceal his inherent nobility and arrogance.

Jiang Shutong sighed deeply. At least she was still alive.

There is hope in life.

She got up and gently wiped the man's scarred face with a towel. Seeing that his lips, which were neither too thick nor too thin, were a little dry, she carefully moistened them with a cotton swab.

After doing all this, she got up and went to the doctor's office to ask the doctor about Pei Yichen's condition.

The doctor's opinion was similar to Pei Zhengping's, which left Jiang Shutong somewhat frustrated.

Since this is already the best private hospital in Beijing, and even they said there was nothing they could do, then Pei Yichen's hope of getting back up is probably very slim.

That's it.

Let's take it one step at a time; there's always a way out.

Jiang Shutong has always been optimistic.

She is not the kind of person who is easily defeated by life.

After inquiring about some daily precautions for taking care of Pei Yichen, she returned to the ward.

I'll take the day off tomorrow; I can't stand that lousy company anymore anyway.

She was waiting for Sun Yuanjing's reply, otherwise she would appeal to the central government.

Pei Yichen's VIP ward is a suite, with a living room and a ward.

There is also a bed for a caregiver in the ward.

After turning off the lights, Jiang Shutong lay down on the cot next to her, which was surprisingly soft.

Perhaps she was too tired, or perhaps the bed in the VIP room was too comfortable, she fell asleep very quickly after lying down.

Night was falling.

The man on the hospital bed struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and his consciousness began to return.

Hearing the steady breathing around him, he turned his head slightly and, through the light shining through the windows from outside the corridor, saw the woman's familiar face.

While he was unconscious, he actually heard his father and Jiang Shutong's conversation.

Pei Yichen's eyes darkened.

Is he really going to be paralyzed for life?

The thought of becoming a cripple caused her to unconsciously clench the white sheets at her sides.

Just then, the woman's murmured voice reached his ears, "Pei Yichen, don't die..."

"Pei Yichen, don't scare me..."

He turned his head and saw that the woman on the bed was still fast asleep, but her small face was pale with fright, and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Pei Yichen: ...

The hands that had been gripping the sheets slowly loosened.

Does that woman really care about him that much?

He regained consciousness today when the woman was lying on top of him, wailing in mourning.

She cried so loudly that she woke him up.

He never expected that Jiang Shutong would care about him so much less than a month after their marriage...

Thinking of this, the man's cold heart felt a little soothed.

Like a desert that has been parched for many years, a crack has quietly appeared, through which a warm current slowly flows.

-

The warm morning sun shone through the glass windows.

Jiang Shutong slowly opened her eyes, saw the unfamiliar ceiling, and smelled the unique disinfectant scent of the hospital. Only then did she suddenly remember that she was taking care of Pei Yichen in the hospital.

Jiang Shutong turned her head and saw that Pei Yichen next to her had already woken up. He was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed in his hospital gown. The warm yellow sunlight shone on him, but it couldn't dispel the gloom between his brows and eyes.

Jiang Shutong quickly got out of bed and went over to him. "Pei Yichen, you're awake. How are you feeling?"

The man's face was sinister, and he coldly mocked himself, "I won't die."

Jiang Shutong looked up at the clock on the wall and realized it was already nine o'clock!

She came to take care of the patient, yet she slept so late...

Are you hungry? I'll go buy you breakfast.

"No need." Pei Yichen's face was terrifyingly cold, and the atmosphere around him was extremely tense. "You can leave. I don't need you here."

"No, that won't do. I'm your wife, so it's my duty to stay and take care of you!"

The man's tone was as cold as ice: "There's no such clause in the prenuptial agreement."

Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. How much more so when they are just a fake couple.

Jiang Shutong didn't care about his attitude. She shrugged and said, "But the prenuptial agreement didn't stipulate that the other party can't take care of you if you're sick or injured..."

After saying that, she picked up her phone, opened the ward door, and left.

Ten minutes later, the door to the ward was opened again, and Pei Yichen grabbed a water glass from the table and threw it outside, yelling, "Get out!"

Li Kai cautiously opened the door and walked in.

He looked at the broken glass on the ground with a start, "President Pei, you're awake, you..." Why are you so angry?

After thinking about it, I swallowed my words back.

He surveyed the empty VIP ward and asked, "Where is the president's wife?"

Pei Yichen clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He didn't answer, but said in a low, hoarse voice, "Make me a new copy of the divorce agreement."

Li Kai was taken aback at first, then earnestly advised, "No, please. Your wife is deeply devoted to you. After your accident, she not only stayed by your side but also took on the responsibility of caring for you. Even when the chairman offered her the house in Mingjing Garden, she refused to divorce you..."

He truly hadn't expected Jiang Shutong to go to such lengths with Pei Yichen.

He was deeply moved by what he saw last night.

Pei Yichen glanced at him coldly, "Just go when I tell you to!"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Li Kai first put down the documents in his hand. "President Pei, these are the documents you need to sign. Please sign them first, and I'll come back to get them later..."

He carefully opened the small tray on Pei Yichen's bed and placed the documents on it.

Pei Yichen, however, swept the attack away with a palm strike, his face extremely sinister.

"I'm already a useless person, why would they want me to sign anything?"

Looking at the documents scattered all over the floor, Li Kai wiped the cold sweat from his face.

After the CEO broke his leg, his temper worsened.

However, it's understandable; anyone would find it unacceptable to wake up and discover their leg is broken.

Not to mention someone like Pei Yichen, a prodigy.

As Li Kai bent down to pick up the documents from the ground, he forced a smile and said, "But President Pei, the chairman said that from now on, all documents requiring approval should be delivered directly to your home..."

He paused, then added a self-important, flattering remark, "I believe that even working from home, you can manage the Boyu Group exceptionally well!"

Pei Yichen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Li Kai's words further confirmed that he truly would never be able to stand up again!
