"That's good, that's good!" The woman held Wei Yumeng's hand, patting it gently. A hint of heartache could be discerned in her tone of emotion, "Oh, you're too thin..."
Tears welled up in the woman's eyes. The moment Wei Yumeng looked up and saw them, her heart felt as if it had been struck, a wave of surprise flooding her.
She was meeting a complete stranger for the first time, yet she felt no rejection. In fact, when the woman held her hand, she felt a sense of warmth.
Perhaps it was because the couple exuded only kindness.
Wei Yumeng's eyes curved into a smile. She didn't pull her hand away, allowing the woman to hold it tightly. The woman carefully clasped her hand, then glanced back at the man.
"Hurry up and let go. You're holding onto her hand like this on your first meeting, it's too abrupt. Be careful not to scare the child," the man reminded his wife from behind. He spoke with a touch of authority, his eyes occasionally glancing at Wei Yumeng, yet he didn't dare to step too close.
"I'm just worried. Look at other people's children, are they this thin?" the woman argued a few times before quickly releasing Wei Yumeng's hand. Despite appearing composed, this woman also had moments of being flustered.
"Madam, I'm naturally this thin, so you don't need to worry," Wei Yumeng said with a smile, explaining as she noticed the woman's sentimental expression.
"No, no, no, it must be due to excessive blood loss and a severe depletion of vital energy," the woman shook her head, her face full of worry. She looked towards the doorway, where bodyguards were entering one after another.
Carrying piles of nutritional supplements, beautiful fruit baskets, and bouquets of flowers, the entire hospital room was instantly packed with these items.
"These are..." Wei Yumeng was astonished by this grand display. Primarily, these were two strangers she had never met or known, yet they seemed to have an instant connection with her and brought so many things.
"This is a small token from Country Y. We hope you will recover and be discharged soon," the man said humbly. A fleeting hint of paternal affection flashed in his sharp eyes.
Country Y, this couple was from Country Y? The mention of Country Y by the man caught Wei Yumeng's attention. She narrowed her captivating eyes slightly, unable to help but think of Catherine, whom she had never met. That woman, who had suddenly appeared and provided her with type P blood, was also from Country Y. Could they know each other?
"We don't know what kind of flowers you like, so we spent a long time choosing at the flower shop. We hope you like them." The woman seemed to treat Wei Yumeng with a sense of cautiousness. She picked up the beautifully wrapped bouquet and placed it in the vase on the bedside table, flashing a friendly smile at Wei Yumeng.
"Thank you, the flowers are beautiful. You've gone to such trouble," Wei Yumeng nodded. The faint, fresh scent of the flowers wafted towards her. She glanced sideways; these were expensive flowers. The couple, as she had initially guessed, were either wealthy or of high status.
"No, no, this is what we should do!" The woman's heart ached at Wei Yumeng's polite demeanor. She furrowed her beautiful brows, her eyes glistening with tears.
Wei Yumeng felt a surge of further confusion. She looked at the woman's excited demeanor, finding it rather strange. The man, however, gave Wei Yumeng an apologetic look. He supported his wife and whispered something in her ear, seemingly to comfort her emotions.
"I apologize, my wife is a bit overcome after the long journey."
"It's alright. I'm very grateful you came to see me," Wei Yumeng curved her lips into a slight smile. She turned to the nurse, who had been standing there stunned, "Xiao Zhang, could you please get them two cups of water?"
Xiao Zhang responded with a "yes" and then snapped back to reality. In front of these two guests, it was difficult for her to continue holding onto Yin Fang. Yin Fang also didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders, so she sat in a corner, her gaze fixed stubbornly on Wei Yumeng, waiting for the couple to leave so she could continue her pleas.
"Madam, I'll go get some water, I'll be right back." Xiao Zhang looked hesitantly at the couple. From their conversation, it seemed Wei Yumeng didn't know them. Was it really okay to leave them here...
Wei Yumeng saw through Xiao Zhang's thoughts and gave her a reassuring look. Xiao Zhang gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and dashed off to get the water.
"I'm sorry, we didn't realize you had other guests," the woman said, noticing Yin Fang in the room for the first time. She had rushed in in her anxiety.
"It's fine, the matter is... already resolved," Wei Yumeng cast a cold glance at Yin Fang, her tone as calm as water. Yin Fang sat awkwardly in the corner. She also saw Wei Yumeng's expression and couldn't help but nervously fidget with her clothes, afraid of causing trouble and being kicked out by Wei Yumeng.
"Right, we've been talking for a while, but I still don't know who you two are..." The couple had immediately started showering her with care and concern, almost making Wei Yumeng forget her questions. She looked at the two politely, probing for an answer.
The hospital room door was ajar. Catherine, who had just arrived at the doorway, stopped and her sharp ears caught the voices inside. Her high heels halted precisely, and she took a few steps back. With the help of the Zhan family, her company had been flooded with orders recently. As the leader of the entire company, she had been busy from morning till night. Today, she finally had some free time and wanted to visit Madam Zhan, only to find someone had arrived before her...
A glint flashed in Catherine's eyes. She hid behind and peered into the hospital room, seeing the entire scene clearly. The visitors were her parents. Catherine was momentarily surprised, and her heart felt as if it had been doused with cold water. She frowned. Just now, she had coincidentally overheard Wei Yumeng's question. So, how would they answer?
"We apologize, we were too eager and didn't introduce ourselves," the man said calmly. He seemed a little hesitant, looking down at his wife. The woman nervously gripped the man's arm, her eyes flickering. As if making a decision, she nodded at him.
Wei Yumeng looked at the couple's interaction, completely bewildered. She comfortably leaned back against the headboard, not hurrying them, just quietly awaiting their answer. Catherine, hiding by the door, widened her eyes. Having grown up with them, how could she not understand their expressions, not understand the meaning behind those glances? Were they going to reveal this secret so soon? Catherine clenched her fists. Before she could react, a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Miss, what are you standing here doing?" Xiao Zhang, carrying water, returned and found Catherine peeking around the doorway. She looked at the situation inside the room and asked. Catherine was startled and turned to look at the nurse behind her. She could already feel several gazes from inside the room turning towards them.
