Book8 Chapter7.

At that time, Leo was on a business trip out of town.

His tone was very cold. "I'm in a meeting."

When I tearfully told him I had been in a car accident, I was in pain, and felt scared, Leo let out a cold snort.

Even through the phone, I could imagine the disdainful expression he must have had at that moment, "Gigi, you're an adult. Don't you know to call the traffic police after a crash? What's the point of calling me? Can I fly to your side to clean up the mess, or turn back time to tell you to open your eyes and drive properly?"

"Leo, I didn't mean to bother you, I'm just really scared..."

"Enough. Stop talking nonsense. Grow up and handle your own problems."

Beep, beep...

The busy signal that followed after that heartlessly ended call had now turned into Leo's incoming call ringtone.

"Hello! Gigi, why haven't you been to work these past few days?"

He probably didn't expect me to answer his call. His hoarse voice carried an undeniable hint of surprise.

"I'm on annual leave."

"Yeah, I heard. You haven't taken a vacation in years. You should really rest this time."

Leo sounded overly cautious, clearly afraid I'd hang up if I got upset.

I grew a bit impatient and asked, "Did you need something?"

"I, I've been feeling dizzy since yesterday. After dinner, I came back and threw up several times last night. I think I'm sick."

"So?"

Hearing my emotionless response, Leo fell silent.

His breathing was heavy and deep. I knew he wasn't lying.

But what did that have to do with me?

"Hey! Long time no see, Gigi."

At that moment, the friend I was waiting for arrived. I quickly told Leo, "I'm having coffee with a friend now. Bye."

My friend was full of curiosity. She asked, "Who was that?"

"My ex-husband."

"Oh my gosh, Jane told me that you were getting divorced, but I didn't believe it. Tell me what happened?"

And so, my friend and I enjoyed cake and coffee while trashing bad men, making for an especially pleasant afternoon.

A few days later, if my mother hadn't personally told me that Leo had acute pneumonia and was in the hospital, I wouldn't have known how seriously ill he was this time.

"Gigi, I support your divorce, but you're still technically married. If you don't go to the hospital to take care of him, people will gossip about you behind your back."

Hearing this, I silently let out a cold laugh.

I didn't try to argue much with my traditionally-minded mother. I just said, "Okay, I know. Don't worry, I know what to do."

Just a few minutes after talking to my mom, my former mother-in-law immediately sent me Leo's hospital room number and some care instructions from the doctor.
