Chapter 55 Sleeping with the Devil (5)
But Uncle Chen said that Mrs. Cheng’s current health condition requires serious rest and she must not be subjected to any more stress.
At this time, how could she possibly tell her that she and Gu Ningyi had completely fallen out?
Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but lower her eyelids, hiding all the guilt in her eyes. She pressed her red lips together forcefully, finally holding Mrs. Cheng’s hand and saying firmly and seriously, one word at a time, "Soon, he will be out soon."
After pausing for a moment, she added, "Auntie, believe me, I won’t let anything happen to Ziyang."
"Fine... fine."
Having received a reassuring answer, Mrs. Cheng contentedly closed her eyes and fell back asleep. Dong Xin Yan sat by the bedside for a while, waiting until Mrs. Cheng’s breathing was calm and even. She watched her peaceful, sleeping face for a while before quietly getting up, walking out of the ward, and gently closing the door.
By the time she left the hospital, it was already getting late. The night was heavy, like a massive mountain, pressing down on Dong Xin Yan’s heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Even though she vowed sincerely in front of Mrs. Cheng that she wouldn’t let anything happen to Ziyang and that Ziyang would soon be free, she really didn’t feel confident...
Every time she angered Gu Ningyi, it never ended well.
