Seeing Yuan Meng leave, Baron looked in the direction where Catherine had run off, feeling a headache coming on. The servants behind him kept their eyes on his every move, waiting for his orders.
After a long while, Baron heaved a long sigh and set off in the direction Catherine had fled.
As for Dr. Sophia, he could only find time to explain later.
Catherine, Baron's fiancée, was a match his family had arranged for him since childhood.
Now that his father was seriously ill in bed, the alliance with the Catherine's family must not go wrong. Otherwise, the family would suffer heavy losses.
A series of problems made Baron rub his temples involuntarily. He felt an even worse headache.
The place Baron had arranged for Yuan Meng to stay was in a small building, some distance away from the main building.
Walking on the path in the garden, the servant in front of Yuan Meng would occasionally say, "This way, please," and that was all.
After all, this guest was invited by Baron, and they servants couldn't afford to offend her.
In the distance, a man caught sight of Yuan Meng's back. Her excellent figure made him whistle. He grabbed a servant and asked in a flirtatious tone, "Who's that? Why have I never seen that woman here before?"
The servant had also been in the main building when Baron received Yuan Meng.
She rolled her eyes and said to the man, as if vying for credit, "Second Young Master, she's a distinguished guest invited by the First Young Master."
"Maybe she's his girlfriend?"
"Tsk, my elder brother is really something. Seeing that our father is bedridden, he wants to dump Catherine? Does he even consider whether Catherine's family will agree?"
"Who knows?" The servant's eyes sparkled. She had provided useful information to the Second Young Master. Surely he would reward her handsomely?
As she was thinking, a banknote was stuffed into her hand.
"Alright, I know what you're thinking. You mustn't let my elder brother know what I've asked you today."
"Yes, yes, Second Young Master. I definitely won't talk too much."
The servant was thinking about the money for tonight's drinks.
Yuan Meng had no idea that a deal had taken place outside until she entered the room.
She took a shower, dried her hair, and sat down beside the computer.
This Baron was quite considerate. He even provided a computer in the guest's room.
However, Yuan Meng didn't plan to use the computer in the room. Instead, she opened her suitcase.
She took out a laptop from the suitcase, plugged it in, and turned it on in one go.
Yuan Meng browsed the web boredly. Some sharp-eyed fans noticed that she was online on Weibo and swarmed over like crazy.
Suddenly, the comments on her past Weibo posts and the private messages in her inbox all showed 99+ notifications.
Yuan Meng quickly set her Weibo status to invisible and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
These fans were really... Seeing the fans' full-screen urging for updates.
Yuan Meng's heart softened. Somehow, she opened the writing software she usually used.
Before long, a brand - new article with an open - ended ending appeared on Yuan Meng's Weibo.
The book fans instantly went wild.
— My youth is back. After so long, I've finally waited for the ending from the great writer.
— What the person above said is right. It feels like my youth has ended.
— The great writer has finally written the ending!
...
Apart from these fans' adoration, there were also some who said Yuan Meng was making them cry.
The open - ended ending was so tear - jerking, and every character seemed like a murderer in a way that people couldn't hate them.
Later, the comments even started to condemn Yuan Meng, saying that she was being unreasonable. She could have written a proper ending but instead left them with such an ending to guess.
Yuan Meng didn't really care. She continued to browse the web, regarding the comments as a joke.
On the other side of the ocean, in Ling Qianchen's hospital ward.
The person lying on the bed moved his fingers slightly. This made Chai Yanyu's eyes pop out. While marveling at Yuan Meng's incredible medical skills, he rushed to Ling Qianchen's bedside.
When Ling Qianchen opened his eyes, he saw Chai Yanyu with snot and tears all over his face.
"Cousin, you're finally awake!"
"You don't know how worried I've been these days."
... Didn't the old ladies in TV dramas who lost a family member cry like this?
This thought suddenly popped into Ling Qianchen's mind, but he quickly came back to his senses. "Water?"
Because he had been lying in bed for too long, Ling Qianchen's voice was a bit hoarse.
Chai Yanyu quickly got up from the ground. "Yes, yes, yes. I'll pour water for cousin. Look at my stupid head. You've been awake for so long, and I forgot to give you water."
"Sure enough, it would be better if sister - in - law were here."
Even at this moment, Chai Yanyu didn't forget to sing Yuan Meng's praises in front of Ling Qianchen.
Speaking of Yuan Meng, Ling Qianchen looked around the ward. "Where is she?"
It was obvious who "she" referred to. Chai Yanyu forced a nervous smile. "Sister - in - law took care of you for a whole day and night. I saw that she was really tired, so I let her go back to rest."
"Qianchen!"
A female voice interrupted their conversation.
It was Bei Mo. Bei Mo stepped forward with disbelief in her eyes. "Qianchen, you're awake... Qianchen, you're finally awake."
Looking at Bei Mo's exaggerated reaction, Chai Yanyu suddenly felt that his own performance was nothing in comparison.
"Cousin, I'll go and call the doctor for you."
Unable to stand Bei Mo like this, Chai Yanyu found an excuse and slipped out.
In the large ward, only Bei Mo and Ling Qianchen were left.
Bei Mo started to mutter, complaining about Yuan Meng from time to time.
After a few words, she had fully expressed her prejudice against Yuan Meng in front of Ling Qianchen.
Bei Mo's heart was hanging high. She wasn't sure how Ling Qianchen would react to her words about Yuan Meng.
She saw that Ling Qianchen still had that poker - faced expression, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Bei Mo stamped her foot in anger.
Chai Yanyu came in with the doctor. He vividly described the situation before and after Ling Qianchen woke up to the doctor, and at the same time, showed his worry to the fullest.
Hearing this, Bei Mo's face turned black. This Chai Yanyu made it sound as if Ling Qianchen had died from his words.
Thinking about it, Bei Mo finally couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed Chai Yanyu's arm. "Alright, come out with me. Don't disturb the doctor's diagnosis."
Chai Yanyu didn't have time to say a few more words before being dragged out by Bei Mo.
When Bei Mo came back, the doctor was already gone.
She swallowed nervously and looked at Ling Qianchen. "What did the doctor say?"
"Nothing." Ling Qianchen clearly didn't want to talk about it.
Bei Mo started to peel an apple for Ling Qianchen when she heard Ling Qianchen ask what had happened during the days he was in a coma.
Bei Mo seized the opportunity to complain to Ling Qianchen. She simply told him all the things Yuan Meng had done in the past few days.
After she finished, she looked a bit smug. "I advised her not to be so persistent at that time."
