Although this reason is quite forced, it's obvious that he's leaving just to leave! But there's no choice; the couple is being affectionate in the room, and he's just an outsider standing there. What does that mean? He believes that his boss doesn't want him to stand around like a third wheel! So, it's better for him to leave and avoid leaving a bad impression of being insensitive.
Mu Beiting didn't speak, just nodded in agreement.
Pete hurriedly turned and left the ward without looking back.
As soon as Pete left, Mu Beiting's phone on the bedside table started ringing.
Mu Beiting didn't look, seemingly having no intention to answer it.
Instead, Ye Anxin, upon hearing the phone ring, directly picked it up for him and handed it over.
Mu Beiting glanced at it and continued to ignore it.
Ye Anxin frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Uncle? Why aren't you answering?"
Mu Beiting tightly pressed his thin lips without answering.
