Xiao Yunhua didn't want to bother with Zhou Feng any longer. Seeing Zhou Feng was completely against her expectations as their last meeting had been a long time ago, and it ended with her comatose.
She shook her head, taking a deep breath. Her focus was now on Qiang Yue, she didn't need to worry about Zhou Feng. She walked until she found Qiang Yue's office, but unlike what she expected, Ling Qiu walked out.
The older woman immediately recognized Xiao Yunhua and smiled in greeting. "Yunhua, so happy to see you!"
They shook hands and Xiao Yunhua felt especially happy to see the nurse that took care of her. "Same here. Ling Qiu, how have you been?"
Since Xiao Yunhua wasn't a patient under Ling Qiu's care anymore, she didn't refer to her as Nurse Ling.
They had unexpectedly become good friends while Xiao Yunhua was under her care, hence why she dared to be so casual.
Ling Qiu nodded, "I've been okay... Need a vacation." She chuckled and then asked, "Yunhua, have you been on vacation recently? It's good for recovering as you'll be more relaxed."
Xiao Yunhua didn't find her question suspicious and nodded. "Recently went to Carte Blanche Island! Such a beautiful place, I definitely recommend it."
A dark flash gleamed in Ling Qiu's eyes before she swiftly blinked it away. Fortunately, Xiao Yunhua had her senses enhanced and she observed it quite well.
Though she didn't understand why the sweet nurse would harbor such a negative emotion in her eyes.
Nonetheless, she felt tingles and knew that she shouldn't be hanging much with someone who seemed to have two faces. It wasn't like she was in her first life where she fell for Jiang Rong's lies. She was going to avoid any calamity if one were to occur.
Xiao Yunhua and Ling Qiu had some more small talk before Xiao Yunhua asked, "Ling Qiu, do you happen to know where Qiang Yue is?" She didn't realize that she had slipped away the fact that she and Qiang Yue called each other on such name terms, unlike what a patient would call a doctor.
The last sliver of doubt escaped from Ling Qiu's heart and she felt deeply suffocated, her judgement immediately becoming clouded by jealousy. Even though she knew, she shook her head. "Sorry, I haven't seen him. I think he isn't at work today. He just arrived from a vacation, he may be suffering from some jet lag."
Deep in her mind, Xiao Yunhua didn't believe Ling Qiu. But to keep things polite, she pondered and nodded. "I see." She then turned around to leave after bidding Ling Qiu adieu.
The nurse watched Xiao Yunhua slowly leave and frowned. Just to make sure Xiahu Yunhua really left, she discreetly followed her.
Meanwhile Xiao Yunhua had no idea that Ling Qiu was behind her. She walked near the exit before she accidentally bumped into someone tall.
She glanced up and was shocked to find Qiang Yue staring at her with equivalent shock. Neither expected to see each other, so their eyes met for a minute.
"Qiang Yue?" Didn't Ling Qiu say that Qiang Yue was not here today? She didn't have the chance to worry as Qiang Yue wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly.
"Yunhua, I'm so sorry. I tried to call you afterwards but my phone had died and my father—" Qiang Yue felt her finger on his lips.
"I understand." Really, she did. Even though she didn't like Qiang Luo, she did really like Qiang Yue since he was such an honest man. And she also understood the emotions of seeing a loved one in the hospital.
After all, she had suffered through it via Han Mi.
He hugged her even further when he heard that she wasn't being unreasonably angry. They finally released each other and then Qiang Yue suggested somewhere for them to talk. He had intended to return to work, but as he owed Xiahu Yunhua an explanation, he decided that he would return the day after.
His father's condition was stabilized anyway so he didn't need to worry as much.
As they walked away, Ling Qiu had clenched her fists so hard that some of her nails poked through her skin. She didn't feel any pain from her hands because her heart was throbbing with suffocation and dull pain.
Her speculations were true.
Xiahu Yunhua and Qiang Yue were most likely together...
And she didn't like it at all.
