Although Xu Ke was reluctant to leave Mengyao under the care of others, he knew why Mengyao moved out, and he didn’t want to upset her or cause any emotional distress, considering her current injury and the doctor’s warning against emotional shocks; he didn’t want to gamble with Mengyao’s health, so
