Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Picking up the Bride

Since receiving the settlement letter, Li Lihua never came to the hospital again. Only Xu Ke almost lived in the hospital, clocking in daily until Lin Mengyao was fully recovered and discharged.

"Impatient to leave, aren’t you? Let’s go. I’ve already processed the discharge papers. I’ll cook you a nice meal to celebrate your release today," Xu Ke said with a smile.

If my mom says something harsh to you, don’t take it to heart or go along with it. Didn’t I send you some money?

Lin Mengyao nodded. Ever since the incident, although she spoke words of encouragement, she was actually very afraid inside, worried that some punks might jump out and cause trouble again, so she didn’t refuse Xu Ke’s good intentions and instead found him to be incredibly caring.
