Chapter 80: A Familiar Silhouette

It was completely silent within this 50-square-meters top-class VIP ward.

A young man and woman sat on the sofa in the ward.

The man was Yu Zhe, the second son of Ye Sr. He was 26 years old this year and he was handsome, debonair and charming. He was not involved in the world of business but moved in entertainment circles. He was often named in dating scandals involving popular starlets or models and was well-known as the richest playboy in Ye City.

Ye Zhe was dressed casually and his legs were crossed, as though he was not too concerned about his father lying on the hospital bed. He kept swiping at his phone screen and it was hard to tell whether he texting someone or playing a game.

The woman was Ye Shiyu. She was twenty years of age this year and she was a beautiful university student with fine features. She would check on her father who lay on the hospital bed from time to time, so see if he had awakened.

Ye Sr. had yet to awaken by the time Mo Yixuan rushed over.

He stopped and stared at Ye Sr. on the hospital bed. That man was only 60 years old but he looked as though he was an elderly old man in his twilight years. His hair had all dropped after his treatment and he looked very pale, his face completely leeched of color. He looked completely different from the decisive and strong-willed man that Mo Yixuan knew.

Life could be so fragile at times. Ye Sr. had always cut such an imposing and domineering figure and attracted everyone’s attention wherever he went but now he was reduced to becoming a pitiful cold man.

Mo Yixuan did not see Mistress Ye at all. It seemed like the rumors swirling outside about Ye Sr. going to court to annul their marriage three months ago on the grounds on them having lived apart for many years were true.

He walked toward the sofa to greet the young man and woman, then exited this cold, unfeeling hospital ward.

Xia Yuwei was waiting for him outside the ward and the moment she saw him, she immediately linked her arm through his, as though she wanted everyone to know that this man was hers.

Her heels clicked exceptionally loudly on the floor and attracted the attention of many relatives who were visiting their sick relatives.

She enjoyed basking in the envious stares of others.

“Yixuan, let’s go to the mall. I want to buy myself several new outfits. My autumn outfits are all from last season.” Xu Yuwei shook her man’s arm and shot him a hopeful look. Yixuan was always so busy and rarely went out. Now that he was out with her, she could not let this opportunity slip by.

Mo Yixuan was not listening. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked fixedly at the stairway ahead.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Yuwei noticed the change in her man and followed his gaze.

She followed his gaze-

There was nothing, not even a single person.

Mo Yixuan frowned but his gaze never left the stairway.

“Did…did you see the person earlier?” He turned and asked quizzically.

Xu Yuwei shook her head in confusion and waved her hand in front of his face.

“Yixuan, are you seeing things? No one passed by earlier.” What exactly did he earlier? My god, could there be ghosts in the hospital?

Xia Yuwei could not hold back a shiver at the thought of that. This was the hospital and the wards, in particular, were filled with negative energy since people died here every day. She hated going to such places.

“Let’s hurry.” Xia Yuwei grabbed her husband’s hand and quickly dragged him out of this place.

Mo Yixuan clenched his fists and his frown deepened. As he exited the area, he still turned back to look at the staircase. He clearly remembered seeing that man. Although that man was a distance away, he definitely remembered his silhouette. He knew he was not wrong.

If that man was in the city, did that also mean that she had returned?
