At around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhao Mengxue poured a glass of warm water for Xiaobao, and she put a straw in it for Xiaobao to drink.

Xiaobao drank it gurglingly, and Zhao Mengxue touched Xiaobao's cheek. She saw that Xiaobao looked very good.

"Are you hungry?" Zhao Mengxue asked softly, but Xiaobao still didn't speak.

"Let's take a bath first." Zhao Mengxue picked up Xiaobao and walked into the bathroom. She specially bought some bath toys.

Zhao Mengxue put Xiaobao down in the bathtub. She filled the water with just the right temperature and sat on the edge of the bathtub to give Xiaobao a bath.

Xiaobao sneezed, Zhao Mengxue sped up and hugged Xiaobao up to change clothes.

"Sleep with aunt tonight." Zhao Mengxue said softly, "If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, just tell aunt."

Xiaobao was still silent. Zhao Mengxue carried him to bed, gently patted his back to coax him to sleep, and specially played a lullaby.

The child in her arms had not slept. Zhao Mengxue thought that Xiaobao had been frightened today and might not be able to sleep at all.

Zhao Mengxue turned on the TV to play cartoons. Xiaobao kept staring at the screen and seemed not sleepy at all.

"Auntie, go take a bath first. You wait here for me." Zhao Mengxue patted Xiaobao's head, and she got up and went in to take a bath.

Not daring to spend too much time, Zhao Mengxue quickly took a shower and came out to accompany Xiaobao, but Xiaobao still maintained the same action.

Zhao Mengxue was lying next to Xiaobao. She just took her mobile phone and saw Chen Yuchen sent several WeChat messages.

"Would you like to go back early to accompany you?" Chen Yuchen was worried that Zhao Mengxue would be too busy, so he asked for help.

"No, there's nothing going on now. The bodyguards are also watching secretly. The boss has been arrested. There's nothing going on for now." Zhao Mengxue quickly replied to the message.

"Isn't her family coming?" Chen Yuchen replied instantly, and Zhao Mengxue was lost in thought while looking at the message.

Thinking of what Lin Qingjuan had said about her family before, Zhao Mengxue was a little hesitant to notify her family, but she thought that if she didn't notify, it would still be bad if something happened.

Zhao Mengxue clicked on Xiao Li's chat page and asked him to find Lin Qingjuan's family and notify the other party's family.

"I don't know yet." Zhao Mengxue replied, her brows furrowed, "I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to check it out."

"Okay, then you go to bed early." Chen Yuchen went to work, while Zhao Mengxue continued to coax Xiaobao to sleep.

Fortunately, Xiaobao couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep. Zhao Mengxue hugged Xiaobao and fell asleep together.

That night, Xiaobao didn't sleep well and woke up several times. Zhao Mengxue patiently coaxed him back to sleep.

The next morning, when Zhao Mengxue woke up, Xiaobao was in a daze. She understood that he needed some time to recover slowly.

After Zhao Mengxue took Xiaobao to wash up, they went out to have breakfast together. As soon as she got in the car, Xiao Li sent a message saying that Lin Qingjuan's brother was here.

Zhao Mengxue thought for a moment and decided to go to the hospital first. She asked Xiao Li to wait a moment.

The first one and the second one arrived at the hospital. Zhao Mengxue walked into the ward with Xiaobao in her arms. A burly man stood at the end of the bed and looked sideways.

Xiao Li gave Zhao Mengxue a hint in his eyes, and Zhao Mengxue nodded.

"You take Xiaobao to have breakfast." Zhao Mengxue said to Xiao Li, and Xiao Li hugged Xiaobao and left. The ward door slowly closed, and Zhao Mengxue came to the bedside. She saw that Lin Qingjuan still hadn't woken up, and she didn't know when she would wake up.

Zhao Mengxue turned back to look at Brother Lin. A strange look flashed in her eyes, but her face remained calm.

"Where are Lin Qingjuan's parents?" Zhao Mengxue asked first.

"My parents won't come over. They have severed ties with my sister a long time ago." Lin Ge said calmly, with almost no emotion on his face.

"But, Lin Qingjuan has been injured. She is so serious that she may not wake up at any time. Are your parents really not coming?" Zhao Mengxue said in disbelief.

"Yes, they said just pretend there is no such daughter." Brother Lin nodded and said coldly.

"Is this too much? Lin Qingjuan has always been a victim. She was beaten to death by domestic violence. Doesn't anyone care about her? You are her family!"

Zhao Mengxue raised her voice and stared at Brother Lin closely.

This man had almost no expression on his face. He looked like he didn't feel sorry for his sister at all. This was incomprehensible to Zhao Mengxue.

It was clear that Lin Qingjuan was the victim, but her family still wanted to cut off relations with her. She had been in pain alone for so long.

"My parents didn't let her get married, but she got married anyway. My parents broke off the relationship with her in anger. This is all the price she paid."

Brother Lin said extremely calmly, with no trace of distress for his sister on his face.

"If you really care about Lin Qingjuan, do you think she really gets married? Sometimes it is indeed her problem. She has paid for her choice, but now she may die at any time, and you still want to do this indifferent!"

Zhao Mengxue said angrily, "It is your attitude that makes her marry the wrong person and makes her lack the courage to divorce."

Brother Lin didn't speak. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Mengxue quietly, his eyes a little more complicated.

"Perhaps everyone is at fault, and everyone may not have done a good enough job, but no matter what, she is the injured one now lying on the hospital bed." Zhao Mengxue suppressed her emotions and still did not get angry in person.

Brother Lin raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. It was the first time he saw someone speaking for Lin Qingjuan. He heard that it was the woman who saved Lin Qingjuan and gave him a job.

"Why are you helping my sister? My sister probably hasn't done you any good." Brother Lin asked lukewarmly, his tone still a bit wary.

"I am willing to help others. She does not need to give me any benefits. For me, there may not be any reward for my efforts, but I will definitely help if I can." Zhao Mengxue said seriously.

"You are quite great." Brother Lin said softly.

"I'm not great, there's very little I can do." Zhao Mengxue shook her head, "Family is very important to a person, especially when she needs help. If you are still unwilling to help, is she being abused? If I were beaten to death, wouldn’t you feel any pain?”

Zhao Mengxue gritted her teeth and asked, the anger in her chest being suppressed again and again. For Lin Qingjuan's sake, she did not make a fuss with her brother.

"My sister is really miserable." Brother Lin's voice lowered a bit.

"Yeah." Zhao Mengxue's response was a bit cold. She could tell that Brother Lin didn't really feel sorry for her sister.

Brother Lin's cell phone rang, and he strode out, leaving Zhao Mengxue behind. She looked back at the person on the hospital bed.

Zhao Mengxue prayed in her heart that Lin Qingjuan would wake up soon. The longer time passed, the more dangerous Lin Qingjuan would be.
