Shen Zhilie did not say a word. He bent down halfway and kissed her on the forehead.
Then he immediately brushed her hand away.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll ask the doctor to come to check on you," he said softly.
Shen Zhilie went out soon after.
When Ye Qianqian saw his reaction, she knew what the answer was.
As if she had lost all of her strength, Ye Qianqian lay still on the bed like a statue and stared blankly at the door.
When the doctor came in, Ye Qianqian was staring at the ceiling with tears streaming down her eyes.
The doctor gave her a quick check and found no major issues. However, Ye Qianqian could not even feel relieved. She was still choking and crying.
Shen Zhilie did not make a sound. He sat quietly beside her and held her hand tightly.
"I'm sorry," Ye Qianqian muttered with a heavy nasal voice. "I'm sorry, Lao Shen. I'm sorry..."
Shen Zhilie stood up, leaned over, and kissed her, gently and pitifully.
