Regretful Beijing Marriage

In the ward.

Old Mrs. Fu leaned against the headboard, her face deathly pale.

In just a few days, he looked much older and more haggard.

Jiang Yining walked to the bedside, her tone calm.

"Grandma, please take care of yourself."

Grandma Fu let out a long sigh, revealing her weakness for the first time.

"It's all my fault, I was too stubborn."

"I used to be obsessed with Shen Miaoyin and mistakenly thought that Huaiyan had a special relationship with her, which made me lose my sense of propriety time and time again."

"Now I finally understand that Huai Yan back then never went crazy for Shen Miaoyin."

She looked up at Jiang Yining, her words sincere.

"Yi Ning, I don't want to say anything else, I just want to tell you that Huai Yan doesn't care about Shen Miaoyin."

"Actually, ever since your mother found him, he has been paving the way for you and helping your mother find out the truth about Shen Wan back then."

Jiang Yining paused, but remained silent.

"Come sit here, child."

Grandma Fu gently patted the bedside, her eyes filled with tears.

"Huaiyan knew you much earlier than you think."

"Your mother was desperate back then and happened to help him once, so she could only ask him to protect you for the rest of your life."

"At that time, I happened to see your photo in his drawer and felt that you must have a place in his heart, so I insisted on finalizing your marriage with him."

"The reason your scandal was able to subside so quickly back then was because of Huaiyan."

"He doesn't want you to dig deeper into the behind-the-scenes story because he's afraid you'll bring disaster upon yourself."

Grandma Fu smiled bitterly, her face full of self-reproach.

"I know these words sound like an excuse."

"But the Kyle family had already set their sights on the Fu family back then. They were ruthless and vicious, never leaving any room for maneuver."

"Every member of our Fu family has been ambushed by them and nearly lost their lives."

"Huaiyan dares not gamble, much less gamble with your life."

"It was my stupidity and my confusion that led me to never delve into the pros and cons, and I misunderstood him based solely on superficial appearances."

"I am also at fault for things turning out this way."

Jiang Yining remained silent, unable to respond for a moment.

All the grievances I've suffered over the years are real, firsthand experiences.

In the end, everyone told her that everything he did was to protect her.

This left her speechless, unsure whether to resent, hate, or let go.

After a long while, Jiang Yining gently patted the old lady's hand.

"Please take good care of yourself; your health is the most important thing."

"I'll bring Fu Huaiyan to see you once he's better."

Grandma Fu's eyes reddened, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you."

Even after leaving the ward, a heavy feeling of unease still lingered in my heart.

Jiang Yining composed herself and turned to find Wen Junshan to inquire about the follow-up treatment plan.

Wen Junshan: "His condition is not irreversible; there is a chance for his legs and optic nerves to recover."

"However, the subsequent rehabilitation period is extremely long, the process is painful and difficult, and it requires extremely strong willpower to persevere."

Jiang Yining kept those words in mind.

"You've been traveling for days and are exhausted, so go back and rest."

Wen Junshan felt extremely distressed when he saw her haggard appearance.

"Now that all the turmoil has subsided, it's time to get some rest."

Jiang Yining did not refuse.

After returning home, she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the bed.

When he woke up again, news of the Kyle family had swept the entire internet.

The dark forces that had been entrenched overseas for many years collapsed overnight.

He Sze-tse and Qin Zheng-tao were both arrested, and the evidence against them was conclusive.

All that awaits them is the death penalty; there is no chance of redemption.

Jiang Yining let out a long breath; the huge weight that had been pressing on her heart for many years had finally been lifted.

She quickly tidied herself up and went to the hospital.

As soon as I entered the ward, I saw a group of doctors who were at a loss.

Upon seeing Jiang Yining arrive, the doctor rushed forward as if seeing a savior.

"Miss Jiang, you've finally arrived!"

"Mr. Fu refuses to eat and refuses to cooperate with basic rehabilitation care. No matter how we try to persuade him, it's no use. Please help us persuade him."

These words made Fu Huaiyan turn around. "You're here?"

His voice was hoarse and weak, with a hint of barely perceptible elation.

Before he could finish speaking, a series of chaotic noises came from the bed.

Fu Huaiyan seemed to have forgotten his leg injury and fell off the bed in a disheveled state.

Jiang Yining was startled and rushed forward to help him up.

"Are you crazy? Don't you know your own physical condition?! What are you doing moving around like that?!"

Fu Huaiyan had no vision, his legs were too weak to support him, and he was extremely weak.

He completely disregarded his own injuries and raised his hand to precisely grasp Jiang Yining's wrist.

He used his strength to pull her tightly into his arms.

Her arms were taut and trembling, filled with fear and unease.

"sorry."

His voice was hoarse as he whispered close to her ear, full of humility and vulnerability.

"I'm so scared, Yiyi, don't go, don't leave me alone."

Jiang Yining knew that she had known Fu Huaiyan for so many years.

He was always dignified and calm, always strategizing and never losing his composure.

She had never seen him so vulnerable.

She didn't say anything, but intended to help him up first.

But the force around his waist suddenly tightened, and Fu Huaiyan held Jiang Yining tightly, refusing to let go, as if he had grasped the only straw to save him.

"I'm scared."

The three words were as light as a sigh.

Clingy and pitiful.

Jiang Yining was both angry and helpless; she had never felt that he had ever been so difficult to deal with.

"I'm not leaving."

"Go to bed first, I'll just ask a few questions outside and be right back."

"Let go of my hand and behave, or I'm really leaving."

Fu Huaiyan couldn't see the surrounding scenery, so he could only sense her presence through touch and hearing.

His fingertips frantically and helplessly searched her body.

Come back soon.

"understood."

Having finally escaped, Jiang Yining went outside to inquire about the doctor's condition.

"Mr. Fu's current condition is post-traumatic psychological dependence."

"He is blind and his legs are severely injured, which makes him feel insecure."

"And you are his only source of emotional support now."

"His refusal to eat and his rejection of rehabilitation stem from his fear of you leaving him."

"If you spend more time with him and persuade him, he will most likely gradually cooperate with the treatment."

Jiang Yining nodded silently, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

At this moment, Lu Yunshen walked over slowly, his expression earnest.

"Miss Jiang, could you please help him out?"

"You saw it too. When you weren't around, he completely gave up on himself and refused to cooperate with any treatment."

"He is still young; he cannot be paralyzed and blinded, wasting his life."

"Of course I won't force you. Everything is up to your wishes. After all, you're already divorced, so what he does is none of your business."

Jiang Yining inexplicably tasted a hint of green tea.

"I understand, I will try to persuade him."

Lu Yunshen felt a slight sense of relief and sighed inwardly.

Brother, this is all I can do to help you.

Jiang Yining turned around and went back to the ward.

As soon as she pushed open the door, her face suddenly darkened.

Fu Huaiyan did not get up, but just sat there awkwardly on the cold ground.

His back was slightly hunched, and his figure was thin and forlorn.

Like an abandoned golden retriever.

Jiang Yining strode forward, her tone tinged with anger.

"What are you doing? Your body is injured like this, can't you call a nurse? Are you just going to lie on the ground like this and torture yourself?"
