"Yichen, what's going on?" Mu Linjing asked, full of worry.
Zhan Yichen didn't have time to explain, he just continued to say to Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong, "No matter what happened this time, I bear some responsibility, so I'm willing to cover all hospitalization expenses. Of course, I've already spoken to Dr. Vincent."
With that, he bowed deeply to the two of them.
Zhan Yangyi hadn't fully grasped what was happening, but Chen Yutong had an inkling.
She exchanged a glance with Zhan Yangyi, then said to Zhan Yichen, "This isn't your fault. I was the one who approached you, hoping to know Yangyi's whereabouts. So, the responsibility lies more with me. You merely agreed to my request."
As she spoke, Chen Yutong clenched her fist, as if suppressing something, clearly her inner thoughts might not be as she stated.
Zhan Yangyi also nodded, "Forget about the hospitalization fees. If you were to pay, it would make us uneasy."
Chen Yutong also looked at Zhan Yichen, her expression clearly agreeing with Zhan Yangyi.
But their words only intensified Zhan Yichen's guilt, making Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong appear more magnanimous.
Zhan Mohan watched the scene and said lightly, "Since that's the case, Mo Han and Yichen will split the hospitalization fees equally. This is the only thing we can do about this matter."
Zhan Mohan's tone was firm, brooking no argument.
Zhan Yangyi had no choice but to agree.
Wei Yumeng watched the scene, and for some reason, felt a strange sense of unease.
If what Zhan Yichen said was true, wouldn't Chen Yutong be too broad-minded? She didn't believe Chen Yutong would be so forgiving at a time like this.
But she looked at Chen Yutong again and found nothing out of the ordinary.
Wei Yumeng rubbed her temples, perhaps she was overthinking it. The relationship between the three brothers seemed very harmonious.
"Alright, there's nothing more for us to do here, let's leave them with their time and space," Wei Yumeng suggested.
"Mm," Zhan Mohan nodded, then took Wei Yumeng's hand and prepared to leave.
After bidding farewell to Mu Linjing, Zhan Yichen turned to leave as well.
"Wait." Zhan Yangyi called out to them.
This was indeed the first time in his life he had encountered such a situation. Even he was worried that while comforting Chen Yutong, he might lose control of his own emotions due to his own sadness.
Previously, Mu Linjing and Wei Yumeng had often helped with Chen Yutong's matters, so he had to ask for their help again this time.
"Uh... Yumeng, Linjing, this is my first time dealing with something like this. I hope you can stay with Yutong more. After all, women can talk more easily between yourselves."
Wei Yumeng nodded. She indeed couldn't let go of Chen Yutong, and it was good to be able to stay with her more.
Mu Linjing naturally stayed as well.
Although Zhan Mohan and Zhan Yichen were worried and reluctant, they had work to attend to and couldn't stay any longer.
Wei Yumeng also realized that not only was Chen Yutong's mental state precarious, but Zhan Yangyi was likely also struggling.
Right now, he was merely pretending to be strong for Chen Yutong.
"Big Brother, you must be shaken too. Leave this to us. You should rest well," Wei Yumeng said to Zhan Yangyi.
"Yes, we're enough here," Mu Linjing agreed.
Zhan Yangyi still shook his head, "I'll stay, but I won't bother you. I'll go buy something."
With that, he turned and left the ward.
His departing figure was so worrying. He could support Chen Yutong, but who would support him?
After Zhan Yangyi left, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became somewhat awkward.
Chen Yutong remained silent, and no one initiated a conversation. Moreover, in such a situation, it always made one feel sad.
Finally, Wei Yumeng spoke first, "How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's uncomfortable?"
As she spoke, she specifically checked on Chen Yutong and adjusted her blanket.
However, Chen Yutong looked extremely displeased, as if she didn't want to acknowledge her at all.
Wei Yumeng frowned. She didn't think she had offended Chen Yutong again.
It had been a long time since they had any conflict, and they could be considered to be getting along well. Wei Yumeng could only assume that Chen Yutong was simply in a bad mood.
"I know this is very difficult for you, but life has to go on. Even without the child, you can still look forward."
Wei Yumeng comforted her, "Big Brother was also severely affected by this. But he's pretending to be strong for you. I hope you can be his support as well."
After all, Wei Yumeng, who had gone through a similar experience, had managed to get through it by making Zhan Mohan her psychological support. She believed that since Chen Yutong truly cared for Zhan Yangyi, she could achieve the same.
However, as soon as her words fell, she was met with a cold sneer from Chen Yutong.
"Easy for you to say. It's not your child that's gone."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng's heart ached. This was clearly touching upon her own scar.
Mu Linjing immediately became displeased, "How can you speak like that? Yumeng is just trying to comfort you."
"I don't need your comfort at all!" Chen Yutong said indignantly, "Aren't you the ones who caused all this? Now you're hypocritically comforting me. Shouldn't you be glad that I've finally gotten my comeuppance!"
Wei Yumeng looked incredulous, completely unable to follow Chen Yutong's train of thought.
"Now that I don't have a child, I can no longer use the child as a reason to claim inheritance, can I? And the money Zhan Mohan gave us before can also be demanded back with this reason." Chen Yutong said, trembling with anger, "Who knows if this was your plan from the beginning."
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you're referring to Yichen's matter, didn't he already apologize? And you said it wasn't his fault," Mu Linjing was also getting angry.
"I only said that for Yangyi's sake. He doesn't blame Zhan Yichen, but that doesn't mean I won't."
"You!" Mu Linjing was indignant, but she remembered that Zhan Yichen did bear some responsibility, though he had only meant well and caused trouble.
Wei Yumeng looked at Mu Linjing, signaling her not to argue with Chen Yutong. She spoke calmly, "I don't know why you're thinking this way, but I can tell you directly that this was just an accident. And aren't you yourself the one who caused it?"
If Chen Yutong hadn't pushed things this far, Wei Yumeng would never have wanted any conflict with her.
"If you hadn't acted on your own, causing so much trouble for Big Brother because of the inheritance, and then running away from home while pregnant, how could everything have turned out this way?"
