Fang Tong was about to leave after saying that. Ding Minghui grabbed her and begged, “Tongtong, I was really drunk last night. I didn’t mean to. Can you please forgive me once? I will never drink again in the future, I promise, you just forgive me once.”
Fang Tong lowered her eyes and looked at Ding Minghui’s hand without any fluctuation in her eyes, “Let go.”
Ding Minghui didn’t let go. Not only did he not let go, he knelt on the ground, “Tongtong, I beg you, don’t break up, don’t leave me, I beg you.”
Fang Tong looked at the man in front of her who was humbly begging for her, feeling deep pain in her heart. This was the man she had truly loved, this was her first love. They had been together for nearly four years, but now they were about to separate in the most decisive way. A tear flashed across her eyes, “Ding Minghui, we can’t be back together.” Her voice said, it was very light, as light as the whisper of the wind floating into Ding Minghui’s ears, but it made him more desperate than any hysterical reply.
“No, Tongtong, no, we still have a chance, and yes, we will get married in the future, have children belonging to us, and we will live happily for a lifetime. I promise, this is the first and last time, please forgive me.” Ding Minghui cried. This was the first time Fang Tong saw Ding Minghui cry. She turned her eyes away and did not look at him.
“Ding Minghui, I have never been a generous person. I may remember this incident for the rest of my life. Maybe if I am in a bad mood that day, I will bring it up and talk about it. Then we will quarrel and get tired. Such a life, is this what you want? Ding Minghui, let go, let yourself go, and let me go.”
Ding Minghui lowered his hand dejectedly, “Can you really not forgive me this time?” He prayed softly, lying low in the dust. With his tone, Fang Tong almost agreed. She shook her head and turned to leave.
Ding Minghui didn’t see the burst of tears when Fang Tong turned around, and Fang Tong didn’t see Ding Minghui look at her back and cry like a child.
Shen Qinglan stood in the corner, watching the scene in front of her quietly for a long time before turning around and leaving, holding a coat in her hand, which was originally intended for Fang Tong.
Fang Tong returned home in despair. As soon as she entered the house, she locked herself in the room. Fu Fanghua was cleaning the house and didn’t pay attention. But when it was time for dinner, Fang Tong still hadn’t come out. She knocked on the door and asked her daughter to come out for dinner. No one answered for a long time, and she suddenly felt something was wrong.
“Tong Tong, open the door.” Fu Fanghua patted the door. Such a loud noise would have woken her up even if he was sleeping, but there was no movement in Fang Tong’s room.
Fu Fanghua was anxious and took out the spare key to open the door of Fang Tong’s room. Fortunately, Fang Tong’s door was not locked.
When Fu Fanghua saw Fang Tong, Fang Tong was curled up on the bed, not even covered by the quilt, with her eyes closed and her face flushed. She reached out and touched her forehead, and her face suddenly changed. Fang Tong had a high fever.
“Tong Tong, wake up.” Fu Fanghua patted her daughter’s face, but Fang Tong didn’t respond. Her forehead was covered with sweat, but she screamed that she was cold. Fu Fanghua increased her strength, but Fang Tong still didn’t wake up.
She quickly called Fang Chengzhi, but was told that they were in a meeting. In desperation, Fu Fanghua called Li Boming.
“Auntie, what’s wrong with Tong Tong?” Li Boming sounded anxious. He rushed over after receiving the call.
Fu Fanghua was so anxious that she almost cried, “Tong Tong has a high fever and is in a coma. She can’t wake up no matter how hard I scream. I can’t hold her by myself. Boming, what should I do now?”
She was already at a loss. She usually said that Fang Tong was noisy, but the person who was most anxious if something happened to Fang Tong was definitely Fu Fanghua. She used to be a very shrewd person, but now she didn’t even think of calling 120.
Li Boming walked into Fang Tong’s room and wiped Fang Tong’s forehead, “Auntie, Fang Tong must be sent to the hospital now.” He picked up Fang Tong and Fu Fanghua quickly followed, even forgetting to change her shoes.
“Doctor, how is my daughter?” Fu Fanghua asked nervously.
“She is okay, she just have a high fever. Just put on an IV and it’ll be fine.”
Fu Fanghua finally relaxed, “Thank you, doctor.”
The IV was already put on, but Fang Tong still didn’t wake up and her brows were furrowed tightly. Her forehead was wrinkled, her face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and she seemed to be in great pain. Li Boming sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her, his eyes full of distress.
“Auntie, I’m here to watch after her. You go back and change your clothes first.” Li Boming looked at Fu Fanghua, who was still wearing slippers and home clothes, and said.
Fu Fanghua shook her head, “I’ll wait until Tong Tong’s fever subsides. I don’t know what happened to the child. As soon as she came back, she locked herself in the room. She hasn’t had a fever for many years, and now she suddenly has a fever. It really scared me to death.”
“Auntie, Tong Tong will be fine. The fever will subside in a while.” Li Boming comforted her.
Fu Fanghua smiled and said, “Boming, thanks to you today, I was really scared to death.”
“Auntie, you don’t need to be so polite. Just call me if you need anything in the future.”
Li Boming smiled, “Aunt, I guess you haven’t had dinner. Let’s eat. I’ll buy some food for Auntie first.”
“Thank you, Boming.”
Fu Fanghua didn’t have much appetite, so she just took a few bites and stopped eating. Li Boming was still in the hospital and was not sure that Fang Tong was okay. He was always a little worried, while Fang Chengzhi had already arrived at the hospital.
“Boming, you go back first. Your aunt and I are here. You have to go to work tomorrow, so don’t delay your work.” Fang Chengzhi said when he saw Li Boming sitting in the corridor.
“Uncle Fang, it’s okay. Fang Tong will finish the drip later. I’ll send you back and I can go back in time. I’m young. Even if I go to bed a little late, it won’t affect my work.” Seeing that he insisted on staying, Fang Chengzhi couldn’t say anything anymore, but he was full of apologies for Li Boming in his heart. He really liked this young man, but his daughter didn’t like him.
Fang Tong’s fever still didn’t subside after the IV drip. The doctor suggested keeping her in the hospital for observation. Li Boming followed him to go through the hospitalization procedures. Because they had to prepare a change of clothes for the night, Fang Chengzhi sent his wife home first to get some daily necessities.
Li Boming leaned beside Fang Tong’s hospital bed, held her hand that was not on the intravenous drip, and placed it on her face.
“Ding Minghui, I hate you.”
Suddenly, a few words came out of Fang Tong’s mouth. The voice was so soft that no one except Li Boming heard it. Li Boming’s eyes darkened and he glanced at Fang Tong, who still had her eyes closed. Especially when he saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, it felt like someone had pricked his heart with a needle. He stretched out his hand and wiped it gently. Until the tears from the corners of her eyes were gone.
“Tong Tong, what happened to you?” Li Boming asked softly, but the person who could answer him was not awake yet.
It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that Fang Tong’s fever subsided. When she woke up the next morning, all she saw was a black head lying asleep beside her hospital bed, with one hand still holding her. Fang Tong glanced sideways at Li Boming and tried to pull away her hand, but he woke up, “Tong Tong, you’re awake.”
Li Boming looked at Fang Tong who woke up and was very surprised, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Fang Tong shook her head, “I want to drink water.”
Li Boming stood up, poured her a glass of warm water, helped her up, and handed the water to her mouth. Fang Tong took a few sips from his hand and stopped drinking, her throat felt like it was on fire, and it was very uncomfortable.
“Are you still drinking?”
Fang Tong shook her head, “Why am I in the hospital?”
“You had a high fever and fell into a coma yesterday. Auntie was so anxious that you would have burned to death if I hadn’t sent you to the hospital in time. What a fool.” Li Boming joked, but Fang Tong couldn’t laugh.
“Where are my parents?”
“Uncle and aunt have been watching over you all night. I just asked them to go back and rest first. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Can I go buy it for you?” Fang Tong shook her head. She didn’t want to eat anything.
“Tong Tong, why did you suddenly have a fever yesterday?” Li Boming looked at Fang Tong and asked.
A flash of pain flashed through Fang Tong’s eyes, “I’m sleepy and want to sleep.” She lay down and closed her eyes.
Looking at Fang Tong who was obviously trying to escape, Li Boming’s eyes dimmed and he said softly, “Okay, then you have a good sleep. I’m here, if you need anything, you can ask.”
Fang Tong didn’t speak, as if she was really asleep, but the slight trembling of her eyelids showed that she was actually still awake.
Li Boming sat beside her bed, took out the tablet he carried with him and started processing work emails. The ward fell into silence for a while.
Fang Tong didn’t want to sleep at first, but her body was really tired and she fell asleep before she knew it. Listening to Fang Tong’s steady breathing, Li Boming put down the tablet, arranged the quilt for her, and sighed slightly.
Fang Tong’s cell phone rang. Li Boming picked it up and took a look. It was Ding Minghui. He knew it was her boyfriend. He looked at Fang Tong and Li Boming, who originally wanted to hang up, pressed the answer button with a swipe of his finger.
“Tong Tong, can we not break up? I know I was wrong. I promise there will never be another time. I will resign from the company today and stay away from that woman. Don’t leave me. I can’t live without you. Tong Tong, I love you.” As soon as the call was connected, Ding Minghui’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
Li Boming’s face became ugly and could be described as gloomy. He glanced at Fang Tong and quietly walked out of the ward, “It’s not convenient for Fang Tong to answer the phone now.”
Ding Minghui paused and asked, “Who are you? Why is Fang Tong’s cell phone in your hand?”
“I’m Fang Tong’s friend. Fang Tong is busy right now and it’s not convenient for her to answer the phone. Please don’t call her for the time being.” Li Boming’s tone was cold and he hung up.
Ding Minghui looked at the hung up phone and suddenly remembered the man who came to the company to pick up Fang Tong that day. Could it be that man? Why was Fang Tong’s cell phone in that man’s hand? Were they together last night?
The more Ding Minghui thought about it, the uglier his face became. Whenever he thought that Fang Tong might have been with another man last night, he would go crazy and wanted to kill someone first.
Ding Minghui made another call, but Li Boming hung up on him. He turned off Fang Tong’s phone and threw it aside, continuing to deal with the company’s affairs.
