The 99th Divorce

“Oh…” Ou Ming narrowed his eyes. “What sort of performance are you referring to?”

Yu Lili was momentarily speechless before bursting out, “Why is your mind always thinking of that?”

“I didn’t say anything. What are you thinking of?” Ou Ming gave her a look of innocence and stroked his chin. As if something was troubling him, he said to her somberly, “I’m unable to move around freely at the moment. I have a suggestion. I could just lie down, and you can help yourself.”

Yu Lili blushed a crimson red. She reached out and smacked him hard on the arm that wasn’t injured. “This is a hospital!”

Ou Ming burst out in laughter. The atmosphere inside the room suddenly brightened with sunshine and sweetness.

A knock sounded from outside, and the door opened. A young nurse walked in and looked at Yu Lili. “Miss, there is a middle-aged man with a ponytail who looks to be in his 50s. Is he related to you?” she asked.

Ponytail? In his fifties? Wen Fenglin?

“What’s wrong?” Yu Lili asked.

“The gentleman fainted in the stairwell due to the his heart ailment. One of our hospital staff found him and sent him to the Emergency department. If he’s related to you, please come with me,” the nurse said.

He fainted? In shock, Yu Lili quickly placed the soup bowl back on the table and asked, “How is he doing?”

“I’m not too sure. Please come with me,” the nurse said.

“Yeah, sure. Right away.” Yu Lili placed the utensils back in their bags and was about to walk off when she felt her clothing being gripped tightly by Ou Ming.

Out of options, Yu Lili tried Ou Ming’s hand off and cajoled, “I’ll be back in a moment. I’m going to check on Uncle Wen.”

Ou Ming became even more upset. He still released her garment and said, “Come back quickly. I haven’t had my soup.”

“Alright.” Yu Lili planted a gentle kiss on his face and let go of him.

Ou Ming became dissatisfied. He tugged her by her hand and demanded, “Kiss me on my lips!”

“I’m going to check on Uncle Wen,” Yu Lili said.

“Kiss me on my lips!” Ou Ming demanded again like a petulant kid. In fact, he looked like he was throwing a tantrums.

Yu Lili glanced at the nurse. Her face was becoming red. She ducked her head down quickly and gave Ou Ming a kiss on his lips before walking out of the room.

An ambiguous expression crossed the nurse’s face. Yu Lili felt her face start to burn. Pretending that she hadn’t seen a thing, she walked purposefully down the corridor with the nurse.

When she reached where Wen Fenglin was, she realized he was in pretty bad shape. The doctors and nurses were all aflutter in the Emergency Room.

Yu Lili paced to and fro outside the Emergency Room. A nurse walked over to her.

“This is the patient’s mobile phone. Please call his other family members. The situation he’s in at the moment is unpredictable. We dare not give any guarantees,” the nurse said.

Yu Lili took the phone and nodded her head. “Thank you.”

After receiving the phone, Yu Lili took one look at it and recognized it as his other mobile phone. The nurses words couldn’t be any clearer. It would be a miracle if Wen Fenglin could survive this ordeal. If he couldn’t survive it, it would be best if she could notify his family.

Yu Lili flipped the phone open and realized the phone wasn’t locked with a code. The phone was an old model that was popular probably two or three years ago. It had been trendy for a moment, but it had long been discontinued.

She checked the phone and found a prepaid card inside. After scrolling through the call log, she found numerous phone calls, adding up to approximately 40 or 50. None of them had been saved under the family contacts or with the family name.

Yu Lili scrolled to the end and found a number with a name that differed greatly from all the other inputs.
