Everyone says that if something is abnormal, there must be a demon.
Tang Xiao-min knew very well what Tang Xu was thinking.
In her previous life, how he had schemed to take her kidney was still vivid in her memory.
Tang Xiao-min said impatiently, "Suddenly being so kind, that's not like you."
Tang Xu pretended to be unconcerned, put down the fruit basket, and sat on a chair.
"Mom and Dad asked me to bring it. I've delivered the gesture, whether you accept it or not is your business."
Tang Xiao-min showed disdain.
"You're right. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't have wanted to enter my room to see me."
After all, Tang Yi-yi alone was enough for Tang Xu to worry about.
Upon hearing this, Tang Xu softened his attitude, and his tone became much gentler.
"Big Brother is seriously injured and needs to prepare for skin grafting surgery. Moreover, his left face was burned. I also need to find the best plastic surgeon for him. I've been busy with Big Brother's surgery lately."
"These past few days, the whole family has been worried about Big Brother's condition, and therefore neglected you. I know you're not happy, and I have nothing to defend myself with."
"I know an orthopedic doctor who runs a clinic outside. He's excellent at setting bones. I'll take you there tomorrow."
Tang Xu said a lot to Tang Xiao-min in one breath. In the past, he was so indifferent to her, not wanting to say an extra word.
Now, he was pouring out his heart, speaking sweet words like a big brother, trying to coax her.
Tang Xiao-min's left hand was dislocated and was still in a sling.
"I hit you, don't you hate me? Why are you kindly taking me to see a doctor?" Tang Xiao-min asked suspiciously.
That time, Tang Xiao-min had not held back.
Without a word, she had dragged him out of the car and beaten him up. Tang Xu had been hospitalized for several days because of it.
Tang Xu gave a bitter smile.
"That's all in the past. I've already forgotten. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. I'm not as petty as you think."
"I've already spoken to the orthopedic doctor. We're scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. I'll pick you up then, and you won't have to wait in line."
Tang Xu didn't give Tang Xiao-min a chance to refuse. He stood up.
"Rest well. I'll go to work now."
Then, as if nothing had happened, he walked out of the ward.
He came quickly and left quickly.
In her previous life, it was the same routine.
They talked about physical examinations, and then found that something was wrong here and there.
Using her poor health as an excuse, they forcibly put her on the operating table to take her kidney, disregarding her wishes.
The malicious expressions on their faces back then were deeply etched in Tang Xiao-min's mind.
In her previous life, she was too weak to resist.
Now, was it going to happen again?
...
After Tang Xu left Tang Xiao-min's ward, he went to Tang Yi-yi's ward.
"Yi-yi, you can be discharged from the hospital."
Tang Yi-yi's face was as pale as a sheet, her body devoid of any strength.
"But I feel very uncomfortable. My illness isn't cured yet."
Tang Yi-yi said weakly, clearly unwilling to be discharged.
"Tang Xu, when... when will I get better? What exactly is wrong with me? Can you tell me?"
At this point, hiding the truth from Tang Yi-yi would only make her more fearful, which would be counterproductive.
Tang Xu was silent for a moment, then told Tang Yi-yi the truth.
"There's a problem with your kidney, but don't worry, I've already found a kidney source for you, and you'll be able to have surgery soon."
"I've also found you the best medical team for the surgery. The surgery will be successful, so don't worry too much."
"What!"
Tang Yi-yi was shocked. Her pale face turned even uglier.
"I... How could I... How could I have become like this..."
Tang Yi-yi clearly couldn't accept this reality.
She couldn't even speak clearly.
Tang Xu suddenly hugged Tang Yi-yi and said in a deep voice, comforting her.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here. You'll get better."
Holding Tang Yi-yi, Tang Xu felt incredibly satisfied, yet his heart ached subtly.
This made him even more determined about what he was about to do.
Under Tang Xu's arrangements, Tang Yi-yi was discharged from the hospital.
Tang Yi-yi was so weak that she had to be supported by Tang Xu just to walk.
As they passed by the hospital entrance, Tang Xiao-min, with her arm in a sling, happened to run into them.
When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred.
However, Tang Yi-yi was clearly no match for Tang Xiao-min now.
She didn't even have the strength to argue with her.
Tang Xiao-min looked Tang Yi-yi up and down and smiled mockingly.
"Isn't Tang Xu a doctor? Why do you look even worse than before?"
Tang Yi-yi remained silent. It wasn't that she didn't want to argue, but she was simply too weak.
Tang Xu shot Tang Xiao-min a glare.
"Be lenient when you can. There's no need to be so confrontational."
Tang Xiao-min looked innocent.
"I didn't say anything harsh. Are you perhaps being too nervous?"
"However, it's understandable that you're nervous. After all, you love her so much. Now you can finally be together. Congratulations to you both, true love conquers all."
Tang Xiao-min was, in fact, the first to congratulate them on their relationship.
Tang Yi-yi lowered her head, ignoring Tang Xiao-min.
"Let's go. I don't want to see her."
Tang Xu nodded, supported Tang Yi-yi, carried a bag, and slowly walked out of the hospital.
Tang Xu's feelings for Tang Yi-yi had reached a point of madness.
For Tang Yi-yi, Tang Xu disregarded the grudges of the older generation, disregarded his parents' feelings.
He disregarded his professional ethics as a doctor and had no moral bottom line.
All for Tang Yi-yi.
Sometimes, Tang Yi-yi was quite enviable.
Whether she was infamous or on the verge of death, Tang Xu remained steadfastly by her side.
"Minmin, what are you staring at?"
Yan Jue appeared beside Tang Xiao-min. Following her gaze, he saw Tang Xu and Tang Yi-yi leaving.
These two were Tang Xiao-min's greatest enemies.
Tang Xiao-min withdrew her gaze.
"The two of them remind me of a saying."
"What saying?"
"They stand at the pinnacle of love, mocking death's impotence."
"Heh..."
Yan Jue couldn't help but let out a cold, mocking laugh.
"Them alone? Don't insult such a classic quote."
"Minmin, believe it or not, if they were forced to choose between life and death, their so-called love would be a ridiculous joke."
"Human nature is the most terrifying thing in the world, and the thing that can withstand the least testing. Because, life is only once."
"Alright, alright, I'm hungry. Let's go eat first," Tang Xiao-min said.
Yan Jue took Tang Xiao-min to a restaurant near the hospital and they casually found a seat.
Coincidentally, Zhang Mei-yu and the others were also there.
The Tang Corporation was gone, and the few of them were idle. They had come to the hospital to guard Tang Yu.
Zhang Mei-yu came to Tang Xiao-min's side and asked about her injuries.
"Xiao-min, how is your injury healing?"
It was evident that Zhang Mei-yu was concerned.
However, Tang Xiao-min didn't want to pay them any attention.
"It's alright, I won't die."
