Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Tossing and Turning

"Sister Yu, there’s a patient over there who needs you for surgery."

Tian rushed over in a hurry, indicating that the situation over there must be serious.

Ji Yu didn’t bother to give additional instructions about the matters on this side and hastily left together with Tian.

However, this surgery left Ji Yu feeling uncomfortable. She didn’t know if it was because of the child, but whenever she saw such bloody scenes, she couldn’t help feeling nauseous.

"Sister Yu, you don’t seem to be in a good state today. Do you want to take another break?"

In the eyes of those around her, Ji Yu was seen as being pitiful, as though being forced by Gu Qixiao and the others to perform surgeries.

Now, they hoped Ji Yu could take the time to rest peacefully.

But Ji Yu understood the situation well. Lately, Song Xuan had been purposely causing trouble. If she wasn’t in the hospital, it would only escalate further.

"You don’t need to worry about me. I’ve already told them—they’d better leave as soon as possible."

The way they handled things was absolutely appalling.

When Ji Yu saw Gu Qixiao again, she straightforwardly expressed her thoughts, "I don’t want Song Xuan staying in the hospital causing trouble any longer. My time is precious."

She had already said this many times before: if they couldn’t behave, they should get out. But it seemed like they hadn’t understood the meaning behind her words at all.

Gu Qixiao looked a little awkward. He had thought Ji Yu was in a better mood and they could finally talk calmly. He hadn’t expected such a situation to arise.

"I understand what you mean."

There was no way he would allow Song Xuan to continue making a scene here.

Seeing how decisively Gu Qixiao agreed, Ji Yu also relaxed. "You’re not as unreasonable as I thought. I hope you won’t let things like this happen again in the future."

She wasn’t in a rush to push them to leave but hoped they’d have some self-awareness.

Gu Qixiao wanted to have a proper conversation with Ji Yu, but then he noticed Ji Yuanzhou not far away, waiting for Ji Yu. The way he waited looked almost as though he were waiting for his girlfriend to finish work.

For some reason, a wave of irritation rose in Gu Qixiao’s heart, and his gaze grew impatient.

"Hey, big brother, how do you have time to pick me up today?"

Ji Yu was surprised that Ji Yuanzhou had come.

"You little brat. Have you been too busy lately? Mom and Dad are waiting for you to come home for dinner. Tomorrow is Dad’s birthday—don’t tell me you’ve forgotten."

For a brief moment, Ji Yu’s expression became guilty.

Ji Yuanzhou pretended not to notice, understanding that Ji Yu likely had too much on her plate to remember this.

"Come home for dinner today, and tomorrow, don’t you dare forget."

"Don’t worry, big brother. I’ll pick out a perfect gift." She knew she should take the time to go home as well.

Lately, Ji Yu had been caught up in her own thoughts. She needed to step out of them and see the people around her.

When she returned home, the Ji family parents were visibly delighted, showering Ji Yu with tenderness. For a moment, Ji Yu forgot her recent troubles.

"Yu, we know you’ve been busy lately, but no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of yourself. Just look at how thin your face has gotten."

Lately, Ji Yu had no appetite for anything, which led to this situation.

But since she had already decided to keep the child, she was prepared for pregnancy-related symptoms.

"Mom, Dad, I’ll visit you more often. My work isn’t as exhausting as you think."

She just needed some time to process everything.

Recently, Ji Yu had poured too much energy into dealing with Song Xuan. It was time to completely resolve that problem as soon as possible.

What Ji Yu didn’t know was that Song Xuan had already found out that the doctor who previously performed surgery was actually Ji Yu’s senior. After learning this, her expression turned sour.

"It must be Ji Yu. Yes, it’s her!"

She had already decided in her heart that this was Ji Yu’s doing and wasn’t planning to tell anyone about it.

Song Xuan didn’t sleep at all that night, turning this over in her mind. Her hatred for Ji Yu had reached its peak.

Even when she saw Gu Qixiao, she carried a palpable resentment, angry that he wasn’t taking her side.

"Xiao, why has it been so long since you visited me? Do you not like me anymore?"

Gu Qixiao sighed helplessly. He knew there was nothing wrong with Song Xuan’s face. "Why do you insist on dwelling on these things? Focus on your recovery."

He had no intention of indulging her further. Now, he only wanted to resolve this issue quickly.

He was waiting for Ji Yu.

But Ji Yu always treated him coldly—so much so that she looked at her patients with more tenderness than she ever did at him.

"Doctor Ji, can I have a word with you?"

Ji Yu massaged her temples. Her delicate face carried a touch of frustration. "What exactly do you want to say? You promised to make Song Xuan leave."

Yet Song Xuan was still here.

The look Ji Yu gave Gu Qixiao carried a trace of reproach.

Gu Qixiao knew exactly what Ji Yu was thinking.

But what he wanted even more was to have a proper conversation with Ji Yu.

"I’m sorry. I don’t know why Song Xuan is doing all this. I can compensate for the trouble she’s caused you."

As he spoke, he pulled out a bank card from his pocket.

But Ji Yu didn’t even spare it a glance. "Thanks for the kind gesture, but the money you’ve already donated to the orphanage is more than enough. There’s no need for extra compensation."

Besides, this matter couldn’t really be pinned on Gu Qixiao.

Ji Yu understood this clearly and had no intention of holding it against him.

"I know you’re stuck in a difficult position. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for you to apologize. Just make sure to take Song Xuan away quickly."

She made her stance perfectly clear.

Gu Qixiao stared at Ji Yu’s indifferent expression, unable to bring himself to truly walk away.

He wanted to ask Ji Yu if what she had said before was still true but didn’t even know how to begin.

At that moment, Ji Yuanzhou arrived at the door. After waiting for Ji Yu for a long time outside, he decided to come in and see what was going on.

"Yu, who is this?"

"A patient’s family member," Ji Yu said coldly, brushing past Gu Qixiao and walking toward Ji Yuanzhou as though eager to get away.

Gu Qixiao’s heart burned with dissatisfaction, though he maintained his polite demeanor on the surface. "And who is this?"

"My brother." Ji Yu offered no further explanation, focusing on acting even closer to Ji Yuanzhou.

This behavior left Gu Qixiao feeling an unbearable bitterness in his chest. He was certain that what he had once said to his mother-in-law was completely sincere.

But Ji Yu acted as though she had forgotten every bit of it.

"If Doctor Ji has a husband, then you should maintain some boundaries with other men."

Watching Ji Yu hold Ji Yuanzhou’s hand, his heart throbbed with jealousy, though he was careful not to let it show.

Ji Yu raised an eyebrow, entirely unimpressed. "My husband’s not a good man. Whoever I’m with, he probably couldn’t care less."

Besides, that marriage was something that had happened ages ago; there was no need to revisit it.
