My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 98 Onset of Illness

Lin Yixun had to lie to her mother again, claiming that the company was planning to develop a big project and that she would be busy for some time, so she would be staying in the employee dormitory with her colleagues at night.

In the following days, besides Ouyang Hao’s bad temper, he wasn’t too hard to deal with. However, for some unknown reason, Lin Yixun felt a bit uneasy these days, unsure if it was due to physiological or psychological reasons.

She thought about asking Ouyang Hao for a leave to go home and check on her mother, who was not in good health and was home alone. But before she could do so, Aunt Li from next door called.

"Hello, Aunt Li?"

"Xiao Xun, come to the hospital quickly, your mother just fainted!"

Lin Yixun’s face turned pale, her mind went blank for a moment, and after a long pause, she finally regained her senses. Tremblingly, she asked, "Aunt Li, which hospital are you at?"

"The City Central Hospital."

Lin Yixun dropped the broom in her hand, turned around, and walked quickly towards the door. She was in such a hurry that she bumped into Ouyang Hao, who had just come downstairs.

"Why are you walking so fast, rushing to your death?" Ouyang Hao, still holding a grudge about Lin Yixun’s blind date, spoke with a bit of malice.

"Mr. Ouyang, may I... may I take a leave?" Lin Yixun was so anxious that she could hardly speak clearly.

Seeing Lin Yixun’s pale face and red-rimmed eyes, Ouyang Hao frowned and asked seriously, "What happened? What’s the matter?"

"My mother... my mother is sick." Before Lin Yixun could finish her sentence, she had already walked quickly to the entrance.

Her hands were shaking badly, and she couldn’t open the door despite twisting the doorknob several times. Ouyang Hao watched, then pursed his lips, stepped forward, and covered her hand with his, turning the doorknob to open the door.

"Wait a moment, I need to get the keys upstairs." He was not at ease letting her catch the bus in this state.

However, by the time Ouyang Hao grabbed the keys and came downstairs, Lin Yixun was no longer at the entrance. Ouyang Hao hurried downstairs to chase after her.

As he exited the complex, he saw Lin Yixun standing by the side of the road trying to hail a taxi, but she had been standing there for a while without any luck. At the wide roadside, she waved desperately at passing cars. Her thin figure made the man’s heart ache inexplicably.

The next moment, when the man saw Lin Yixun about to rush into the middle of the road to stop a car, his heart tightened. He took several quick strides to reach her and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back fiercely.

"Are you crazy!" the man shouted, "The cars here are driving at least sixty kilometers per hour. Are you trying to get yourself killed by rushing into the middle of the road?"

Lin Yixun looked at him in a daze, her eyes red, "My mother is sick, my mother is sick."

"If she’s sick, just see a doctor. Why do you have to act as if it’s the end of the world?"

"See a doctor?" Lin Yixun’s nose stung, and tears streamed down her face. If only it were that simple.

Seeing her cry, Ouyang Hao felt awkward and at a loss. He searched his clothes’ pockets but didn’t find any tissues, so he used his sleeve to wipe her tears.

"Look at you, dropping golden beans again. You women are really made of water, crying at the drop of a hat." Ouyang Hao took Lin Yixun by the hand and led her to the garage, "Which hospital is your mother in? I’ll take you there."

When they arrived at the hospital, Aunt Li was anxiously waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Lin Yixun, she hurried up to her, "Xiao Xun, you finally came. I was scared to death just now. I went grocery shopping with your mother, and she suddenly fainted while we were chatting on the bus."

"Where is my mother now?"

"In the ICU on the third floor."
