Chapter 1003: Are You Showing Me Concern?

Han Qing was speechless and frozen for a moment.

She couldn’t believe that the first person that her daughter thought of after regaining consciousness was that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Ye Hao. She felt that Ye Hao was such an ungrateful and despicable man that she would have torn him apart with her bare hands if she could.

“He stepped out for a moment,” she said and placed her daughter’s hand back inside her blanket.

“Oh…” Han Xue said. She pursed her lips and she looked very disappointed that Ye Hao had already left.

“You should just ignore him,” Han Qing said angrily. “He is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” She did not conceal her hatred toward Ye Hao at al.

She had plotted and schemed for Ye Hao to marry her daughter but she had not expected Ye Hao to treat her daughter so coldly and subject her daughter to such humiliation.

Han Xue smiled wryly and turned away from her mother to stare at the door. Her gaze didn’t move away from the doorway until she saw the person she wanted to see.

Her legal spouse, Ye Hao.

Ye Hao’s face was stony and his eyes seemed unfocused as though he didn’t know where he should be looking at.

He entered the ward and walked toward her bed. He finally looked at the woman lying on the bed, this frail woman who looked very pale.

“You’ve come to?” he said softly. He forced the corners of his lips upwards to paste a smile on his face.

Han Xue pursed her lips and she still tried to lift her hand despite how frail and weak she was at the moment.

Ye Hao frowned.

Naturally, he could tell what she was trying to do.

He looked down and looked conflicted for a split second before he finally stretched out his hand a few seconds later to take her slender hand in his.

Han Xue pursed her lips. She was thrilled when he finally held her hand. His hand was very warm and this was the warmth that she was familiar with. It felt like how he used to hold her hand while they were still dating eight years ago.

She waved her mother off and gestured for her to leave. There were some words she wanted to say and some things that she didn’t want her mother to be privy to.

The estranged couple were the only ones in the hospital ward after Han Qing left the ward.They were a loving couple several years ago but their relations.h.i.+p failed to live up to the test of time. Now, Ye Hao found her presence annoying while she hated him intensely. However, at this very moment, they still pretended to be very much in love with each other.

Ye Hao placed Han Xue’s hand back under her covers and pulled her blankets upward.

“You’ve lost so much blood so you’re still very weak. You can’t afford to catch a cold,” he said in concern and tried his best to keep the smile pasted on his face.

“Are you concerned about me?” Han Xue asked as she stared intently at him. She didn’t want to miss any changes in his expression and yearned to see his concern for her reflected in his eyes.

However, she could not see any emotion in his eyes and knew that he was putting on an act.

She guessed that it must have been really hard for him to try to maintain this pretense.

Ye Hao acknowledged her words with a soft “yes”. He guessed that he was probably concerned about her because he did not wish to see her attempt to kill herself again.

He hated this woman but he did not wish to see her dead.

“Ah Hao…” Han Xue’s eyes brimmed with tears after the smile faded from her face. Her tears spilled over to become tiny teardrops that rolled down her cheeks.

She stretched out her hand once more and grabbed hold of his sleeve.

“Can we please not get a divorce? Please let me know if you’re unhappy with any aspect of our marriage and I’ll do my best to change,” she eked out through sobs. Then, she started coughing uncontrollably which made her seem extremely weak, as though she was about to take her final breath before she could finish her sentence.
