Wong Qifu's fragile appearance lasted only a moment before she reined it in. She broke free from Xu Ke's embrace and turned to pick up a tissue from the side. Xu Ke felt an instant emptiness in his chest.
Just then, a sudden knock came at the door. "Family Head, there's a call from the Ye Family."
"A call?" Wong Qifu said. "Bring it in."
A man entered from outside. When he saw Xu Ke standing there, he was immediately dumbstruck. What is going on?
"Give it to me," Wong Qifu extended her hand, her tone hardening. She clearly didn't want the man to keep staring at Xu Ke.
The man immediately averted his gaze from Xu Ke, turned, and handed the cell phone to Wong Qifu.
"You may leave," Wong Qifu said.
"Yes."
The man exited the hospital room. Before he left, his gaze still held a trace of utter shock. He had also been present earlier. Hadn't Xu Ke been stabbed straight through the heart? How is he still alive?
...
"Hello."
