The 99th Divorce

Su Qianci could hear the terror in Yu Lili’s voice. “Lili, don’t be afraid. Where are you now?”

“How is he? Where is he?”

“In the hospital. He just came out of the operating room. He broke his arm, and he also…” Su Qianci stopped mid-sentence and couldn’t bring herself to finish the statement. “You’d better come and see for yourself. He’s been looking for you.”

He’s been looking for you…

When Yu Lili heard that, tears started streaming down her face, and she started sobbing, “Is he alright?”

“He’s alright at the moment. But…”

But? But what?

Yu Lili started to panic, but after ascertaining that he was fine, she released a sigh of relief and said, “Tell him I’m coming. I’ll be there soon! Wait for me!”

“Come quickly. My husband and I are at the hospital, but he’s been looking for you…”

“Alright!” Just as Yu Lili hung up the call, the elevator reached the ground floor.

Yu Lili wasn’t wearing a coat. All she had on was a thin knitted top, and she got goosebumps when the cold evening wind blew. But she couldn’t be bothered with that at the moment.

By the time she managed to flag a taxi to the Rehabilitation Hospital, more than 20 minutes had passed.

After paying the taxi fare with her mobile app, her cell phone shut off immediately as she got out of the cab.

She dashed into the hospital, and upon finding out the room that Ou Ming was in, she sprinted directly to the sixth floor.

The elevators were busy, so Yu Lili used the stairs. By the time she reached the right level, Yu Lili’s breath was heaving unevenly. Without waiting for her breathing to stabilize, she rushed towards Ou Ming’s room.

There were quite a number of people standing around outside his ward—hospital staff, Ou Ming’s family, Li Sicheng, Luo Zhan and so on. Yu Lili looked at them as she gasped for air. When she had finally caught her breath, she walked over slowly.

Jiao Ziqing’s eyes were red and puffy, and she looked like she’d just been sobbing away. She was standing beside a middle-aged man. That man’s looks resembled Ou Ming’s to a certain extent; he was probably Ou Ming’s father. And Wen Fenglin was standing there too, together with Ou Ming’s father.

Yu Lili’s arrival attracted a lot of attention.

When Jiao Ziqing saw her, resentment appeared all over her face. She flung the hand of Ou Ming’s father off and stalked towards Yu Lili.

Yu Lili saw Jiao Ziqing coming over and called out, “Auntie, Ou Ming…”

But before she could finish her sentence, she received a resounding slap.

This slap that Jiao Ziqing gave was very, very heavy-handed. It was so heavy that Yu Lili felt it reach into the depths of her heart, and her insides burned with pain.

Her face was already flushed from the cold. Added together with this slap, it went numb altogether.

“How dare you show yourself here! You’re the one who caused my son to be in this state! If not for the fact that he wanted to go to you, Ou Ming would never have snatched the steering wheel and jumped out of the car!”

Jumped out of the car…

These words were like a heavy hammer to Yu Lili, shattering her heart with each beat.

At this moment, her pain felt bottomless. In order to meet her, Ou Ming jumped out of the car?

Yu Lili could feel her face swelling up bit by bit; it was painful and numb all at the same time.

Whatever ounce of strength was left in Yu Lili initially dissipated when she heard Jiao Ziqing’s words.

She didn’t dare to look at Jiao Ziqing. With her head bent, she asked, “Auntie, how is Ou Ming?”

Jiao Ziqing starting wailing, “It’s all your fault! You jinx! You’ve brought so much harm to my son…” as she spoke, she crumbled into the arms of the man beside her, bawling away.

Yu Lili’s face was still numb, and warm tears were trickling down, making her cheeks itch. In a whimper, she asked, “I want to see him. How is he?”
