Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1323 - 1301: Retribution

Dr. Han felt relieved as he watched Chu Xinyue’s body gradually recover, her complexion slowly becoming rosy.

The key phase after an organ transplant is the rejection period. Once she gets through that, there shouldn’t be any major issues.

Although her body improved, Dr. Han noticed she was even more silent than before the surgery.

Having just undergone surgery, she might still be in pain and discomfort, so Dr. Han didn’t pay much attention.

*

On the day of discharge, it was the butler Pei along with Xiaotao and several Ya Family guards who came to pick up Chu Xinyue.

Xiaotao hadn’t seen the second miss for a long time and immediately embraced her.

The second miss had gone through such significant events as a miscarriage and a heart transplant surgery, yet she wasn’t by her side; just thinking about it made her feel bitter.

"Second Miss, is there anywhere you’re still uncomfortable? Was the surgery very painful?" Xiaotao nearly burst into tears.

Dr. Han wanted to stop Xiaotao but failed to do so, worried that Xinyue’s emotions might be affected, and looked on anxiously.

Chu Xinyue didn’t seem to react much, gently pushing away Xiaotao’s hand clinging to her arm, appearing dazed, as if she hadn’t heard Xiaotao who cried so hard.

Xiaotao didn’t think much of it, assuming the second miss just didn’t feel like talking, having just gone through two surgeries, her body must still be uncomfortable with no mood to talk.

She wiped her tears: "Alright, alright, let’s not talk about it, let’s go home and have a good rest."

Saying so, she followed behind Chu Xinyue, heading towards the hospital entrance accompanied by the guards.

Dr. Han watched Chu Xinyue’s actions, but fell into contemplation, unconsciously furrowing his brows, feeling something was off, and was about to call Xiaotao over to remind her to observe Chu Xinyue more closely when he saw Butler Pei hadn’t left, and came over: "Dr. Han, do you have a moment."

Dr. Han saw that Butler Pei seemed to have something to ask him privately, and walked over to one side with him: "Is there a matter?"

"Where is Lan Yurou now? How is she doing? What exactly did His Highness bring her to the hospital for that day?" Butler Pei was asking on behalf of Ya Qianhuai.

That day, Ya Qianhuai was furious, though he didn’t take charge of Lan Yurou, allowing Ya Chen to bring her to the hospital, but regained his composure afterward, still feeling something was off, and instructed Butler Pei to check what Ya Chen was doing taking that woman to the hospital.

Yet they couldn’t find any trace of Lan Yurou!

Butler Pei knew Dr. Han must be aware, and today took the chance while picking up Chu Xinyue to ask.

Dr. Han paused and said: "Please follow me."

Butler Pei swallowed, instructed the guards to escort Chu Xinyue to the car first, then followed Dr. Han along the hospital’s quiet corridor.

After looping around several times, they arrived at a building behind the inpatient block.

This was the private office or laboratory of a doctor. A private hospital was already quiet with few people, and here especially had little to no idle people around, usually only the doctor themselves entered and exited.

Upon reaching the third floor, they walked along the corridor to the end, where Dr. Han looked into a room: "Right in there."

Butler Pei looked through the glass window on the door, and gasped.

It was a hospital ward, with a woman lying on the bed.

It was Lan Yurou.

Lan Yurou was wearing a hospital gown, eyes closed, the protruding abdomen under the gown now flattened.

"This...this...Dr. Han, what is happening here? Why is this woman lying here?" Butler Pei regained composure, eyes wide.

Dr. Han calmly explained the reasons Ya Chen had kept Lan Yurou around as a blood donor for the past two years.

Butler Pei took a deep breath; it turned out His Highness used this female celebrity as a blood bank for Chu Xinyue...

No wonder His Highness was so secretive about his relationship with Lan Yurou, never explaining himself, letting the public misunderstand.

Because if the true reason got out, it could ruin the Royal Family’s reputation in no time. If Ya Qianhuai found out, how could he allow such recklessness?

The suspicion was that the Crown Princess’s blood type was notoriously hard to find, which was why the heart surgery had been postponed. How could they suddenly have a sufficient blood supply?

Turns out... the Crown Prince had raised a living person as a blood bank for her.

On the day of the Crown Princess’s surgery, Lan Yurou was brought by His Highness to provide blood for her.

Butler Pei thought of this, looked at Lan Yurou on the bed, and inhaled sharply: "Then this woman...what happened? Did she die from over bleeding?"

"If she died, she wouldn’t be lying here. This is a hospital, not a morgue." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Butler Pei also realized he’d asked a stupid question: "Then she is..."

"Actually, Xinyue’s surgery didn’t require much blood. Normally, Lan Yurou wouldn’t have been in trouble. It might be karmic retribution; Lan Yurou got herself pregnant from a fling and tried to pin it on His Highness. After the blood transfusion, she was fine initially but suddenly miscarried due to her intense anxiety, causing excessive blood loss, and subsequently temporary brain hypoxia, ending up in a vegetative state. Since then, she’s been secretly arranged to stay here, with only me and my capable assistant nurse having access."

Butler Pei understood and glanced at the woman inside again, furrowing his brow.

This kind of woman, who constantly schemes to marry into the royal family and wouldn’t spare even married men, dreaming of becoming a pampered young mistress. Now, in this state, her dream can be said to have been fulfilled, daily attended by royal family doctors, how leisurely!

Then, with a somber expression, he thought aloud: "This matter, it won’t be known to outsiders, right?"

If it got out, it could lead to a huge public scandal.

"This is a private hospital, ordinary people can’t get in."

Butler Pei felt a little more at ease.

***

Many days after Chu Xinyue’s discharge, Xiaotao finally noticed something was wrong with her.

Despite being home for this long, she barely spoke; her daily food intake was extremely minimal, and she wouldn’t go out during the day, merely hugging her knees and staring into space from the bed.

Even more withdrawn and introverted than when her health was poor before.

Initially, Xiaotao thought her emotions hadn’t yet recovered, as she’d just lost her baby, but she would eventually recover gradually.

Yet there’s not the slightest sign of her emotional improvement to hope for.

In the afternoon, after accompanying Chu Xinyue for lunch, Xiaotao didn’t leave immediately, sighed, and looked at her ever-waning, petite face.

Today’s meal, yet again, was consumed by counting each grain of rice – like feeding fowl.

After the meal, as in the past few days, she hugged her knees, sat at the bay window, staring outside.

***********

In the evening, when Ya Chen returned home, Xiaotao had been waiting in the first-floor lobby for quite a while, and upon seeing his silhouette in the foyer, she approached, calling out: "Sir."

Since the second miss left the hospital, Sir had resumed his usual busy routine, rarely returning to the Ya Family.

Even when he did come home, it was at odd hours, late at night, and left again before dawn without anyone being able to see him.

Xiaotao’s voice was urgent, causing Ya Chen’s steps to slow: "What’s wrong."

Xiaotao lowered her voice: "I always feel the second miss is very different from before, very worried..."
