The people in the conference room suddenly looked at the corner of the room. The sound of the person falling on the floor attracted He Yuzhe's attention.

The coffee spilled on the floor, and Xiao Ruoyi frowned. The water stains on her clothes were not completely dried, and her slightly red cheeks proved that she was unwell.

"Mr. He, Xiao Ruoyi has a bad fever." An employee squatted beside Xiao Ruoyi was shocked by the heat after reaching his hand out to feel her temperature.

He Yuzhe's heart skipped a beat and he quickly walked to her when he saw her collapsing on the floor.

The staff looked at the scene in disbelief. He Yuzhe, who was usually unsociable, actually slowly bent over to help Xiao Ruoyi up. "Hurry up and help. Why are you still standing there?" Seeing that there was no response from the people around him, He Yuzhe ordered.

Only then did the staff realize what they should do. They quickly walked in to help hold Xiao Ruoyi's arms. He Yuzhe turned around and held her waist with one hand while the other was supporting her leg. He directly held her on his back.

Everyone was shocked, and some of the employees even picked up their phones in excitement. Some of them began gossiping, but He Yuzhe only frowned and walked quickly to the door of the conference room.

He did not know why he was so worried, nor did he notice the worried look on his face when Xiao Ruoyi fainted.

He quickened his pace and only wanted to rush to the hospital as soon as possible. As for Xiao Ruoyi's identity, he had already forgotten this. The cold temperature of her made He Yuzhe frown. He could not help but cover her back with his palm, trying to pass a few strands of warmth.

Xiao Ruoyi could vaguely feel that she was moving. His thick and broad back made her feel at ease. Her body trembled due to the coldness, and she had no strength to open her eyes. She was drowsy.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a white room. The smell of disinfectant was everywhere, and the instruments around her were buzzing.

It was only when her vision became clear that she finally saw the person who had been waiting beside the bed.

"Yichen, why am I here? Did you come out of the house? Then your mother..." Xiao Ruoyi recalled Su Wenyao's words when she left the residence of Bai family and she felt worried.

Bai Yichen revealed a worried gaze, seeing that Xiao Ruoyi forced herself to sit up with her hair being messy. He placed the test report on the table and said gently, "Don't worry about me. I can explain to my mother. But you, how could you not feel a fever at all? If you didn't get to the hospital in time, I don't know what would have happened to you."

Xiao Ruoyi looked up. She still had a mild headache, but it had eased a lot. She vaguely remembered some of the things in the conference room, but not all of them.

She recalled the shoulder at that time, which seemed very familiar and warm.

"Did I faint in the conference room? Then who sent me to the hospital?" Xiao Ruoyi looked at Bai Yichen and asked. But before he could answer, a voice interrupted him.

"Brother, aren't you afraid mom will make trouble for you for coming out secretly? If I hadn't tried to persuade her, mom would have really gotten angry this time."

Bai Muya walked into the ward and glanced at Xiao Ruoyi, who was on the bed. Then she said in a disdainful tone, "I knew you were here when I heard brother Yuzhe said that Xiao Ruoyi was sick."

Hearing He Yuzhe's name, Xiao Ruoyi's eyes flickered, but the light in her eyes quickly disappeared. The image of the car leaving in the rain in her memory had extinguished the illusion in her heart.

"Yichen, you should go back. Otherwise, auntie will be angry." Xiao Ruoyi forced a smile. But the smile revealed a sense of weakness. So did her words.

The door of the ward opened again. A doctor in a white coat came in with a list. And He Yuzhe followed closely behind him.

Xiao Ruoyi looked up. Why was he here? The feeling of that broad back came back to her again. But it was completely negated in just a moment.

How silly of her to think that the person carrying her to the hospital was He Yuzhe.

She had been hurt so many times, but she still didn't learn from it.

"The fever has subsided, but her body is still weak. Don't make trouble for yourself anymore, and our hospital can't stand it anymore either." The doctor said meaningfully to Xiao Ruoyi and injected the nutrient solution into her body.

"En?"

When Xiao Ruoyi heard the doctor's last sentence, she felt somewhat inexplicable. She was about to ask, but heard that He Yuzhe gave a cough. The doctor's expression changed and he walked out of the ward in a panic.

A few nurses outside poked their heads into the ward and took a few glances. Then they began to whisper.

Xiao Ruoyi looked at the doctors and nurses who were behaving strangely with confusion in her eyes.

"This is the girl who has to use a ventilator even if she just had a fever." The voice outside the ward came faintly. Xiao Ruoyi looked at the ventilator next to her.

The nurses covered their mouths and looked inside the ward from time to time.

When Xiao Ruoyi was sent to the hospital, even though the doctor had already diagnosed her as an ordinary fever, the man who sent her still frowned and flew into a rage. He asked for a full checkup, and he insisted on using a ventilator that was completely unnecessary despite of the doctor's dissuasion.

Later, another man came and ran into the hospital in a hurry. He even threatened the doctor and forced him to use all the best medicine.

Xiao Ruoyi looked in the direction of He Yuzhe and Bai Yichen, confused. "What does the doctor mean?"

"It's nothing. You shouldn't have asked so much. What you should really consider is how you should be responsible for interrupting the meeting." He Yuzhe opened his mouth to change the topic. He didn't say anything about his actions just now. His tone was serious and steady, as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Ruoyi smiled wryly. As expected, he had come to interrogate her. She gripped the cup with one hand and looked away.

"By the way, brother Yuzhe, I seem to have left my necklace on your desk last night. Can I go with you to get it later tonight?" Bai Muya interrupted Xiao Ruoyi's conversation with He Yuzhe, speaking in a soft tone.

Bai Yichen noticed Xiao Ruoyi's darkened eyes and went to help her tidy up the quilt. "Ruoyi, you just recuperate in the hospital these days. Don't think about anything else."

His tone was gentle and caring, and the position he was standing in blocked the figures of He Yuzhe and Bai Muya.
