It was a lot quieter in Ye Yu-Yan's ward as compared to Ye Tian's.
Only Dong Mei was keeping her company.
Ye Yu-Yan was the most severely injured casualty from yesterday's episode. She suffered from wounds everywhere, and Hua Ying-Tian fractured her right arm.
But in comparison to these physical wounds, Ye Yu-Yan suffered even greater mental damage.
All those years of pride seemed to get completely shattered yesterday.
After keeping an arrogant attitude all these years, Ye Yu-Yan finally exposed her most pathetic side to her family.
Ever since Ye Yu-Yan got hospitalized, she didn't talk and was in low spirits.
The moment she closed her eyes, she could see the events that transpired at Guangyue Restaurant yesterday.
Ye Yu-Yan didn't know why, but ever since yesterday, the view of Ye Fan's skinny back kept surfacing in her mind.
A sense of conflict kept hovering in Ye Yu-Yan's heart.
Dong Mei felt bad just watching her daughter.
Dong Mei walked over to stroke her daughter's hair and said softly, "Yu-Yan, after all these years, it's time you apologized to Fan. All these years, you and your father kept hurting Fan, but Fan disregarded the things you did to him and saved you both. You ought to thank Fan and apologize for your childish acts while you're at it. Fan might be proud, but he's a reasonable man."
Ye Xi-Mei walked in through the door.
"Xi-Mei, what brings you here? I feel bad that you had to come all the way here because of Yu-Yan," said Dong Mei hurriedly as she smiled courteously.
Ye Xi-Mei replied, "No worries. Yu-Yan's my niece, so I should come by to visit since this awful thing befell her."
"Yu-Yan, does it still hurt?” asked Ye Xi-Mei.
Ye Yu-Yan said nothing, so Dong Mei hurriedly urged her, "Yu-Yan, your Aunt Xi-Mei is talking to you."
Then Ye Yu-Yan turned around and said with her face blushing slightly, "Aunt Xi-Mei, I'm fine."
Ye Xi-Mei was instantly caught by surprise.
She could no longer remember when Ye Yu-Yan last called her aunt.
A while later, Ye Xi-Mei left the ward.
Dong Mei sighed as she watched Ye Xi-Mei leave from behind.
Since Ye Xi-Mei came alone, it was clear that Ye Fan was still upset with her daughter.
"Sigh. Finally, some peace and quiet," said Ye Tian after the last batch of visitors left. Then he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Haha! You have too many friends. The moment you got hurt, all these important people came to visit. I think you have probably received plenty of boxes of ginseng and birds' nest, right?" said Ye Ya as he laughed and lay on the adjacent sickbed.
Ye Tian sneered and replied nonchalantly, "What friends? Those people visited not out of concern but because I wield power. If I was a nobody, who would care? All those ginseng and birds' nest only look good, but they are merely the cheapest kind. If you want them, I'll get Mei to send you a few boxes."
