After taking Mr. Li to the hospital, Mengyao Li wore a stern expression and was about to leave when Mrs. Li called out to her, "Where are you going?"

Mengyao, her face cold and impatient, replied, "I need to go over to Xuan. He's waiting for me, and I have to take care of him."

Watching Mengyao, I felt she was becoming more and more unfamiliar to me.

Seeing the hurt in Mrs. Li's eyes, Mengyao grew even more impatient. "Why are you staring at me like that? Don't you have a good son, Lu Tao? I'm not comfortable leaving Xuan alone, and anyway, Dad gets annoyed with me. I might upset him even more if I stay."

With that, Mengyao turned and walked away, ignoring Mrs. Li's calls to her.

Mrs. Li held her chest in emotional pain, clearly upset by Mengyao's behavior.

I quickly poured her a glass of water.

Mrs. Li looked at me with a guilty expression, "It's better this way, it's better this way... You deserve someone who truly appreciates you."

Listening to Mrs. Li's words left me feeling lost.

From childhood to now, I had always revolved around Mengyao, blind to other girls. To me, Mengyao was the best woman in the world.

She was beautiful, self-assured, and passionate.

I never imagined I would love anyone else, as my world only had Mengyao in it.

I think I probably won't fall for anyone else.

Loving someone is exhausting, and it's too much of a compromise.

After confirming Mr. Li was alright, Mrs. Li urged me to go home and rest. Although I wanted to stay in the hospital with them, Mrs. Li insisted I leave, saying they couldn't face me right now because of what happened.

I had no choice but to leave.

Just as I was about to exit the hospital, I spotted Mengyao and Zhang Xuan.

I quickly hid, not wanting to face them or see Mengyao's indifferent gaze and Zhang Xuan's smug demeanor.

Not far away, Mengyao was carefully supporting Zhang Xuan. Seeing her so cautious made my heart ache.

Mengyao had never treated me like that. Even when I had a high fever, she remained calm and indifferent, sitting by my side.

I always thought she was spoiled and sheltered and didn't know how to care for others.

Witnessing this scene, I could no longer deceive myself.

It wasn't that Mengyao was spoiled and sheltered and didn't know how to care for others; it was that she didn't love me, so she didn't want to care for me at all.

I initially wanted to avoid them, but before leaving, I overheard Zhang Xuan telling Li Mengyao, "My dear Mengyao, I really want to always be with you."

Li Mengyao, with tears in her eyes, hugged Zhang Xuan's head and resolutely said, "Ah Xuan, don't worry. Lu Tao listens to me the most. I'll definitely make him donate his kidney to you."

I couldn't help but sneer.

I'd rather die than donate a kidney to someone like that.

I'll always remember the time when Zhang Xuan's family came to my house, showing off their authority.

They drove me out of my room into the servant's quarters and destroyed all of my dad's belongings.

Zhang Xuan crushed my fingers underfoot, grinning as he said my dad deserved to die, that they should have died sooner.

Later, he and Li Mengyao became best friends. Out of respect for Li Mengyao, I didn't want to make things difficult for her, so I didn't hold grudges against him. I just wanted to stay away.

But Li Mengyao not only wanted me to be the scapegoat but also wanted me to treat Zhang Xuan's illness. Impossible!

Not far away, Zhang Xuan was still speaking, "My dear Yaoyao, can I kiss you? I've never kissed a girl... I don't want to have regrets."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mengyao kissed him.

I watched them kiss passionately with cold eyes. I imagined that if Zhang Xuan asked to sleep with Li Mengyao, she'd probably hesitate only briefly before undressing and lying on the bed. After all, she was already pregnant with Zhang Xuan's child. Nothing she did for him would surprise me.

I didn't look at them again and turned to leave.

Returning to the ward, Li's father was already awake. After exchanging a few words with him and seeing his exhausted expression, I left.

Just as I stepped out of the hospital, I bumped into a girl. She held her head in pain and cried out.

I quickly apologized, but she waved it off, saying, "It's okay, I wasn't paying attention."

I watched her gather up the scattered fruits and quickly bought a large bag of fruit from a nearby store to give to her.

Before she could say anything, I heard Li Mengyao's angry voice, "Lu Tao! What are you doing?"

Before I could react, Li Mengyao stormed over in her high heels and slapped the girl. "How dare you try to be the other woman!"

Li Mengyao's voice was loud, drawing everyone's attention to the three of us, and they began to point and whisper.

The girl was stunned, looking at us helplessly, her eyes quickly filling with tears.

I sighed again, pulling the girl behind me and handing her a tissue.

Seeing this, Li Mengyao became even angrier. "Oh, so that's why you wanted to break up with me, because you have another woman!"

Li Mengyao lunged at me, trying to hit me, but I grabbed her flailing wrist and pushed her aside.

Li Mengyao screamed, "Lu Tao! I'm carrying his child!"

Hearing this, the crowd's disdainful glances swept over me and the girl. The girl's face turned bright red, clutching the hem of her shirt. "I don't even know him."

But the crowd only believed what they heard.

Looking at Li Mengyao's distorted face, I said angrily, "Li Mengyao, don't you know why we broke up? You got pregnant with your best friend's child to carry on his lineage and then asked me to donate a kidney to him."

"And now just because I'm talking to another woman, you do this to me? What about when you were so biased towards Zhang Xuan? Did I say anything then?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the crowd's disdainful eyes immediately turned to Li Mengyao.

Li Mengyao's face turned red with anger, but I couldn't be bothered with her.

Seeing the girl's swollen cheek, I felt a pang of sympathy and took her back to the hospital.

Behind us, Li Mengyao screamed, "Lu Tao! If you leave, we're done!"

I didn't look back.

Li Mengyao still couldn't see it; I was no longer the puppy dog who revolved around her. We were already finished.
