"Besides, you and Miss Nan haven't had a wedding yet, nor have you officially become a couple. How can her mother feel comfortable taking care of you? If word gets out, people will surely misunderstand. It would be better for me to stay and take care of you."
With that, Dyson pulled out a chair and sat down beside Fu Siye's hospital bed.
Even with a dark expression, Fu Siye wouldn't drive Dyson away.
On the contrary, as soon as Dyson finished speaking, Nan Shiqing exchanged a look with He Xia.
He Xia immediately interjected with a smile, "Dr. Dai, what you're thinking is indeed very thoughtful. But President Fu and Shiqing already have plans, don't they? Marriage is only a matter of time. Now that President Fu has no one by his side, isn't it better to have someone familiar taking care of him than a hired helper? And with the relationship between Shiqing and President Fu, how could anyone possibly misunderstand?"
Her words were soft and considerate.
However, to Dyson, He Xia and Nan Shiqing's performance was highly suspect.
He didn't hesitate to retort –
"Am I not a person?"
Hearing Dyson's rhetorical question, He Xia was startled and quickly clarified, "Of course not, Dr. Dai, you are a doctor. If you stay to take care of President Fu, you will certainly be more capable than us laypeople! It's just that you've traveled a long way, Dr. Dai, and you must be exhausted. Besides, isn't your main priority now to treat President Fu and Shiqing?
He Xia wore a deep smile throughout her speech.
He Xia was clearly trying to win Dyson over, and while saying these words, she didn't forget to glance at Fu Siye.
Fu Siye pursed his lips, his expression aloof and calm, showing no particular reaction.
Upon hearing her words, Dyson turned his head and swept her a stern glance. "My staying, and my coming here at all, is because of Siye. If your daughter has any problems, doesn't she have her own attending physician? Moreover, there's nothing wrong with her; she's acting as if she's about to die. If I'm to treat her, I'm afraid she'll start screaming about pain here and pain there before I even touch her. I can't handle that!"
As he spoke of these things, Dyson deliberately shook his head, appearing to be so frightened his scalp tingled.
Fu Siye could no longer stand it and stopped him with a sharp voice, "Dyson, someone deliberately targeted me this time. The poisoning was also because she was framed. Some things are not what you think."
Dyson remained silent but instinctively looked towards Fu Siye.
Fu Siye's expression was serene, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
Dyson understood that Fu Siye was serious. If he said anything more about Nan Shiqing, Fu Siye would surely fall out with him.
But if he was afraid, he wouldn't have said what he did just now.
Dyson let out a light chuckle and continued to speak, "Siye, you can't overlook her true nature just because she saved your life twice. She resorts to any means to win, even trying to blame her poisoning on Mu Yinyin. Can't you see that?"
Dyson hadn't intended to speak so directly; in fact, he had been speaking in veiled terms just moments ago.
But now, it seemed impossible not to be direct.
He couldn't believe Fu Siye claimed to have principles. Looking at it now, what principles was he talking about!
If he had any principles, this despicable, shameless, and unscrupulous Nan Shiqing would have long been thrown as far away as possible from him!
Hearing Dyson say this, Nan Shiqing's heart skipped a beat.
Despite the chill running down her spine, Nan Shiqing managed to suppress her panic. She deliberately took a deep breath and cried out with great distress, "No, I didn't. I didn't blame my sister for this, Dyson. You're wronging me. I know you have a good relationship with my sister, and you admire her medical skills, which is why you're so worshipful of her. But you can't come here and accuse me because of that. I didn't, I really didn't!"
Nan Shiqing shook her head vigorously, appearing extremely emotional.
Noticing Nan Shiqing's current sorrow and distress, Fu Siye's heart sank.
He didn't want to see her like this, but Nan Shiqing had still ended up this way.
Dyson saw this and let out a cold scoff. "You didn't? Then why are you saying things like that? In the end, you're still trying to shift all the blame onto Mu Yinyin. And you have the nerve to talk about my good relationship with Mu Yinyin? What kind of good relationship could Mu Yinyin and I possibly have? Don't you go talking nonsense here!"
Originally, Dyson had intended to save some face for Nan Shiqing, as she was still a young woman.
But!
After meeting Nan Shiqing, the things she said and her pretense became increasingly unbearable.
So unbearable that he couldn't tolerate it any longer!
Because of Dyson's words, Fu Siye's gaze turned towards Nan Shiqing.
He didn't speak, but his gloomy eyes said it all.
Dyson's words had indeed affected him.
Nan Shiqing was seething with anger. What was it to him! What did all this have to do with him! Didn't he think he was a busybody, meddling in other people's affairs!
But now, she had no choice but to continue the act. Her voice choked with sobs, "I didn't. Dyson, I really didn't think that. What I said just now was out of anger. Please forgive me, I apologize to you..."
He Xia immediately added to Dyson, her expression serious and cold. "Dr. Dai, we have always treated you with utmost respect. Whether it's because you're a doctor or a friend of President Fu, we've never intended to target you. It's you who came here with barbs in your words here and there. Shiqing was merely stating her suspicions, she didn't explicitly name Mu Yinyin as the poisoner. You're being too hasty. Dr. Dai, if she wasn't poisoned at the stadium hotel, could she have been poisoned during the car accident?"
He Xia articulated each word, her gaze growing increasingly stern as she spoke.
Fu Siye couldn't let their conflict escalate further.
He sternly interjected, "Arguing about this now is meaningless. This is a hospital room, not a marketplace."
Dyson's smile became even colder. "With your logic so clear, I don't believe you have any idea what really happened with the poisoning."
Saying this, Dyson chuckled again, his gaze directly falling on He Xia.
"That's enough, Dyson," Fu Siye interrupted him with a cold, stern voice.
Fu Siye was afraid that Nan Shiqing would start crying and feel wronged.
However, Dyson wanted Fu Siye to see Nan Shiqing's true face.
That was why he dared to speak so clearly and recklessly, even at the risk of angering Fu Siye!
As for Nan Shiqing?
Her eyes were already teary, and she whispered hoarsely, "Dyson, are you implying that I poisoned myself and then deliberately cried like this, just to tell Siye that my sister harmed me?"
