Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 640 - 635: Bai Jing Visits the Sick

Fang Pingying rushed over to pull Fang Xiu back when she saw the situation escalating.

Fang Pingying had not intervened earlier to separate the two because she believed that Fang Xiu, despite her anger, would retain her rationality; she trusted that Fang Xiu wouldn’t really do something drastic, even if it was for Haohao’s sake.

She allowed Fang Xiu to threaten Luo Zhiyong because she knew that if she didn’t scare Luo Zhiming this one time, he might genuinely frequently harass them later, claiming Haohao as his son and aiming to take the child away.

After Luo Zhiming left, Fang Xiu cried for a while and, upon calming down, hugged Fang Pingying tightly and said firmly, "Elder sister, Haohao is my life, I will never let Luo Zhiming take Haohao away."

Fang Pingying patted her back, comforted her with a few words, and reassured her not to worry, stating that Haohao was her child and they had raised him as a family, so she would make sure that no one else would take him away.

Some time later, after Fang Xiu had completely calmed down, Fang Pingying asked in a soft voice, "From what you just mentioned, is Haohao really Luo Zhiming’s child?"

"I recalled the situation from while back after reading a book, and Haohao should be Luo Zhiming’s," Fang Xiu replied cautiously, looking around before whispering, "But you must never admit this in front of the Luo family, including Uncle Dashan and Hong Lan."

Fang Pingying roughly understood the situation and nodded, "I know, and you must have scared Luo Zhiming enough this time; he wouldn’t dare to come claim the child anymore."

After a moment of silence, Fang Pingying helped Fang Xiu up and gestured inside, asking about Zhou Guangsheng’s condition, "How is Guangsheng doing?"

Just as Fang Xiu was about to speak, she saw Zhou Xiaoyan, who had been standing guard inside, hurry out and call them, "Sister-in-law, come quickly, the doctor has something to say to you."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu immediately ran inside, and Fang Pingying followed swiftly, seeing the doctor standing by the door. Fang Xiu’s legs went weak from fear, yet she still managed to ask, "What is it, doctor? Is it about Guangsheng..."

Seeing how anxious Fang Xiu looked, the doctor smiled reassuringly at her before speaking, "It’s okay, don’t be nervous. I called the family here to inform you that the patient is now out of critical condition, there’s no immediate threat to his life anymore, so you can breathe easy for now, but..."

The doctor paused slightly mid-sentence.

After hearing that Zhou Guangsheng was out of danger, Fang Pingying and others sighed in relief, but upon hearing the doctor’s hesitation, Fang Xiu quickly asked, "But what?"

The doctor regretfully said, "However, the injury to the patient’s leg is a bit more serious than we thought; there might be some complications."

Fang Pingying frowned and muttered, "What kind of complications might there be."

The doctor cautiously replied, "It’s still uncertain for now; we need to see how he responds to further treatment."

Although Fang Xiu was quite worried about Zhou Guangsheng’s leg, she relaxed a bit and thanked the doctor, "Got it, thank you, doctor."

"No need to thank," replied the doctor, "The patient will stay in the ICU for another two days. If his condition remains stable, he can be moved to a regular ward. Please, family members, take note."

Zhou Guangsheng only fully regained consciousness two days later when he was moved to a regular ward. However, since he was not in good spirits, the doctors advised against excessive talking, which made it difficult for Fang Pingying and the military personnel to ask about the details of the car accident.

However, to their complete surprise, on the day Zhou Guangsheng was moved out of the ICU, just when Fang Pingying was considering asking Zhou Guangsheng if Bai Jing was somehow linked to the accident, Bai Jing boldly showed up at the hospital.

Bai Jing, probably because she had recently had a child and had not fully regained her pre-pregnancy figure, appeared slightly plump. However, her overall demeanor remained unchanged—cold, and somewhat strange to others.

She wore a white dress, carrying a fruit basket in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other, gracefully walking into the ward.

When she entered the ward, to be honest, Fang Pingying was completely startled; she had always suspected that Bai Jing was behind Zhou Guangsheng’s condition, but now seeing Bai Jing daring to visit openly made her doubt her own suspicions.

Fang Xiu, who had been harboring deep resentment towards Bai Jing because Zhou Guangsheng had been calling out Bai Jing’s name even in his delirious state, snapped at her upon seeing her, "What are you doing here?"

After entering the room, Bai Jing first glanced indifferently at Fang Pingying before slightly curling her lips dismissively at Fang Xiu and saying, "Even as an ex-husband, it’s only natural for me to come and see him when he’s injured."

After saying this, Bai Jing, regardless of Fang Xiu’s attitude, went straight with her gifts to the other side of Zhou Guangsheng’s bed, placing the items on the bedside table, then sat down beside the bed, looking affectionately at Zhou Guangsheng, and spoke softly, "Guangsheng, I came to see you. How are you feeling?"

Zhou Guangsheng, now awake, showed no particular reaction upon seeing Bai Jing; he just closed his eyes in irritation and then responded faintly, "Thanks for the thought."

Bai Jing, not minding Zhou Guangsheng’s indifferent tone, looked at him with a somewhat guilty expression and asked, "Guangsheng, was it because of me that you had the accident that day?"

Hearing this, Fang Pingying distinctly saw a trace of smugness in Bai Jing’s eyes—it was obvious that she had asked this question deliberately in front of her and Fang Xiu.

However, this made Fang Pingying even more puzzled. So, it implied that the accident wasn’t orchestrated by Bai Jing, but was still somehow related to her? What exactly happened?

Zhou Guangsheng didn’t respond to Bai Jing, only after a long while looked weakly at her and said, "Bai Jing, no matter what, from now on, we owe nothing to each other."

Hearing this, Bai Jing seemed to become anxious; she immediately grabbed Zhou Guangsheng’s hand, affectionately like a lover, "Guangsheng, I know it was my fault that day; I shouldn’t have been so willful. I hope you can forgive me."

Fang Xiu, who had never suspected such matters before, had always thought Zhou Guangsheng’s accident was a mere mishap. Now, hearing their exchange, she became puzzled and eagerly asked, "What exactly happened on the day of the accident?"

Zhou Guangsheng remained silent, but his expression was remorseful as he looked at Fang Xiu.

However, Bai Jing immediately spoke up to explain, "If I’m not mistaken, Guangsheng probably had the accident while he was chasing after me."

"Guangsheng..." Hearing this, Fang Xiu looked at Zhou Guangsheng with disbelief.

Zhou Guangsheng risked his life for Bai Jing?

What was the nature of their complicated relationship?

Yet, Zhou Guangsheng had always maintained in front of her that he had no feelings left for Bai Jing.
