Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 310: Chapter 310 Cheng Yaojin

The topic shifted to Zhou Jie’s late husband, and Xu Ke was momentarily at a loss for words. The conversation suddenly fell into silence until Zhou Jie broke it first.

After waiting half the day without hearing Xu Ke speak, Zhou Jie awkwardly glanced up at Xu Ke and, forcing herself to sound spirited, said, "Look at me talking about this with you, just pretend you didn’t hear what I said earlier. I got a bit carried away."

"It’s alright, don’t worry about it. Let Yaoyao stay with you for a while. I’ll take a stroll outside." Surprised by the unexpected topic, Xu Ke didn’t know how to console her, so he left Zhou Jie with Lin Mengyao, thinking to himself that since they were both women, they would likely have more in common to talk about.

Xu Ke whispered a few words to Lin Mengyao, nodded slightly at Zhou Jie, and then walked out, heading to the small garden downstairs in the hospital, leaving space for the two women.

The hospital Xu Ke found for Xiao Jie was quite reputable, both in terms of the strength of its medical team and its healthcare environment. The small garden downstairs was planted with many trees and brightly colored flowers, making it lively. A gust of wind carried a pleasant scent of flowers, making convalescing in such a place quite enjoyable.

Just as Xu Ke was wandering around, there was a tense confrontation at one corner of the garden, contrasting starkly with the vibrant surroundings. The besieged man clutched his abdomen, with bright red blood continuously seeping through his fingers, leaving crimson patches either on the ground or on his clothes, like blossoming flowers.

The man pressed hard against his wound with his fingers, causing a surge of pain that made his eyelids twitch, but it cleared his mind somewhat.
