The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

Only he knew how much he missed her when he was unconscious in the hospital. She was the only person he wanted to see.

He wanted so much for the divorce to have never happened, for her to still be his wife and for him to have never met Xia Yuwei.

Then, they would still be a blissful family and they’d even have a child. He would have never ended up with a bastard in his home.

“What’s wrong?” The woman quickly pulled out a piece of tissue and wiped at his tears when she saw that he was crying.

For some reason, the sight of him crying made her take pity on him.

Mo Yixuan didn’t answer. Instead, he shut his eyes in pain.

He had felt that faint trace of warmth earlier but after that warmth left, he was only left with pain and regrets.

Nothing would change even if He Xiyan still cared about him, she was already married to Ye Hao and she was also pregnant.

He didn’t have any hope of keeping her by his side, and would no longer have a chance to treat her well and shower love on her.

They were now walking on two parallel lines.

In another hospital, Li Qin was so concerned about her son when she heard that he was admitted into hospital for another gastric problem that her entire body started to shake. She opened her listless eyes to stare emotionlessly at the ceiling, as though this news had been a big blow to her.

Her sister, Li Ya quickly held her hand.

“Sister, don’t be too anxious. Yixuan would be fine. I’ve called the hospital earlier and they said that he had already completed his surgery and would be discharged after a few days, so don’t you worry.”

Li Ya tried her best to console her sister, afraid that her heart would act up again if she grew emotional. Then, the consequences would be dire.

Li Qin reacted as though she didn’t hear what her sister said earlier. She bit her lips tightly and her eyes were full of pain and anxiety.

She no longer had a grandson, so she couldn’t lose her son either. What would be the point of her living then?

She was filled with hatred then. She hated herself and hated how she was blind enough to allow that terrible woman Xia Yuwei to marry into the Mo family and produce a bastard for them, then even took a sum of alimony money and caused her to become paralyzed.

Li Qin was unable to calm down at the thought of that.

She would never be able to forget the rage and anger that she felt at that moment.

She was even more regretful of that fact that she helped that terrible woman chase He Xiyan out of the house. Although she didn’t like that woman either, at least she truly cared about the Mo family and sincerely treated her son well. If He Xiyan was still her daughter-in-law, this meant that she would also be a grandmother soon and would have a grandson who she could truly call her own.

These thoughts upset Li Qin and tears filled her eyes once more and she cried till her eyes were swollen. During her stay at her hospital, she had already cried multiple times.

Every time she thought about the situation at home, she was unable to hold back the pain and rage she felt.

This was the third time Li Ya had seen her sister cry. She went to the restroom to fetch a basin of warm water, then put it beside her bed. She then wet a towel and wrung it and gently helped wipe the tears off her sister’s face.

As she did so, she tried to console her by saying, “Sister, you’ll have to be more open-minded. Everything will pass in time. The doctor said that as long as you continue doing your rehabilitation exercises, you’d still be able to regain some function of your limbs. Don’t worry too much. If you continue to fret, you’d be piling on the pressure on Yixuan, so you’ve got to think about his feelings too.”

Li Ya did her best to cheer her sister up. She wasn’t aware of what exactly had happened to cause her sister’s illness and the Mo family maids also said that they weren’t aware either.

Li Qin sniffled a few more times, then looked listlessly at her sister. She only nodded after some time, as though her sister had finally gotten through to her.

She knew that she couldn’t allow her emotions to affect her health any longer. This would only increase the pain and pressure that Mo Yixuan would feel.
