Chapter 823: Astonishing! So This Was the Reason!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nian Xiaomu was really exhausted.

She had only sensed that something was wrong with Tang Yuansi and made a random guess—she did not expect him to be really sick.

She snapped back to her senses and said, “You knew about it right from the start…”

Shangxin interrupted her and said, “However, Brother Xiaosi went through an operation to treat his illness a few years ago. He has recovered.”

“Are you sure?” The image at the hospital flashed past Nian Xiaomu’s mind again.

Her instincts told her that things were not that simple.

Congenital heart disease is not something that could be easily cured.

“Brother Xiaosi had heart disease right from birth. He had been receiving treatment and also underwent a few operations for it, so his situation had been improving. A few years ago after he had undergone his last operation, he told me personally that his illness had been fully cured. I asked Uncle Yan, who also said that he was fully cured!”

The Uncle Yan that Shangxin had mentioned was Tang Yuansi’s adoptive father.

He had regarded Tang Yuansi as one of his own.

“However, I saw Tang Yuansi in hospital on the day you went overseas. He didn’t look very well and was hooked up to an IV in the hospital…”

Crash!!

Before Nian Xiaomu could finish speaking, Shangxin had spilled the glass of milk in front of her.

Nian Xiaomu pulled her up from the seat immediately. When she was sure that Shangxin was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief and comforted her.

“Don’t panic yet. Yes, I was guessing that he had suffered a relapse and that was probably the reason why he had been pushing you away. However, I might have guessed it wrongly too. Perhaps, he just happened to be feeling unwell and headed to the hospital for a checkup. You are aware of this logic too? How could humans not fall sick?”

Shangxin said, “If it was true…”

Very quickly, Shangxin brushed this idea away again.

“The operation that year was very successful, he should be fine.”

How could a relapse simply happen just like that?

Her Uncle Yan would have come to City H by now if Tang Yuansi really had suffered a relapse of his heart disease.

He must have pushed her away because he did not like her.

Just like what he had said, they had grown up together from when they were young and he had only taken her as his sister.

“…”

Pursing her lips, Nian Xiaomu told Shangxin to return to her seat when she saw that the service staff had cleaned up the table.

She did not continue on this topic when she saw that Shangxin’s expression did not appear to be good.

Instead, she changed the topic to a light-hearted one and sent her back after they were done with their meals.

As Shangxin did not know that Nian Xiaomu and Yu Yuehan had already separated, she did not ask her about it.

When she got out of the car, her entire mind was filled with Nian Xiaomu’s recent words.

Tang Yuansi would not be hospitalized for no good reason.

The Tang Family would usually call their family doctor over for minor illnesses.

As such, did he really suffer a relapse of his heart disease?

And that it was so serious to the extent that he had to resort to pushing her away…

Bit by bit, her heart sank when she thought of this possibility.

She did not see him in the living room of the Tang Family villa and headed to the second floor directly.

She realized that he wasn’t in the room when she entered.

As she sat on the bed alone, bits and pieces of her childhood times with Tang Yuansi flashed past her mind…

He had always doted on her ever since they were young.

He doted on her very much.

He always accompanied her in whatever she did.

The first time she had felt a taste of his rejection was right after he had undergone his final operation…

Shangxin froze!

She thought of something and walked to the side of the bed.

Tang Yuansi had heart disease ever since he was young and he was constantly on medication.

If he really had suffered from a relapse, he must have placed the medication for his heart disease at the side of the bed.

Shangxin gritted her teeth. One by one, she pulled open the drawers of the cabinet placed at the side of the bed.

When she saw the neat rows of medicine bottles in the last drawer, her eyes narrowed!

“Xin’er!” All of a sudden, Tang Yuansi’s voice sounded from behind.
