Tao Yuyan was right about her courage. It was really small.
She put on the hat of her down jacket and curled up in it. Her scarf was especially warm, so she was not very cold anymore.
However, her surroundings were very cold. The bus had not come, so she stood alone. There were only dim street lights around her, so she quickly began to feel flustered.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps not far away. The footsteps were somewhat unsteady, accompanied by a man's rude curses.
There was no other sound besides his voice.
Tang Xiaowei turned her head and saw a man in a suit with his tie pulled askew. He was holding a bottle of wine in his hand. His footsteps were unsteady, and he was cursing in a low voice from time to time as he walked towards her.
Normally, she was not afraid of such a person, but today, she was the only one here. And for some reason, ever since she fainted in the freezer that day, her courage had become smaller and smaller. In the past, she wouldn't have been so afraid but now she was scared more easily.
She saw the man walking towards her, as if he was about to take a bus, so she walked to the other side, not wanting to get too close to him.
And at that moment, that man seemed to have noticed her and raised his head to stare at her.
Tang Xiaowei suddenly felt a wave of panic.
That man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately walked towards her. "Little sister, you're quite pretty. What's your name? How about going to the bar with your brother to play?"
Tang Xiaowei stepped back, her eyes filled with disgust. She picked up her phone and said, "Stay away from me, or I'll call the police."
The man didn't expect her to do this. He thought that meeting a beautiful woman would be a very good opportunity. Who knew that although this woman looked a little panicked, at least she wasn't an idiot. She even knew how to call the police.
The man cursed a few times and left unsteadily.
Because he heard that Tang Xiaowei might call the police, he didn't dare to do anything to her.
Tang Xiaowei heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the man had left.
Very soon, the man left the bus stop and walked into a dim path. As soon as he walked in, he was immediately pressed to the ground by two black shadows. He immediately let out a painful whimper and quickly became silent.
Tang Xiaowei, who was waiting in front of the bus stop, did not notice the situation at all.
Tang Xiaowei was still panicking because of the man's appearance, but she continued to wait for the bus.
Finally, the bus arrived two minutes later, but there were a lot of people on the bus.
After she got on the bus, she was squeezed into the crowd.
She rarely took the bus because she was very sick and would feel uncomfortable on the bus. Therefore, when she was not short of money, she always took a taxi and opened the window to breathe in the air outside to barely control her motion sickness.
Today, the bus she took could not open the window, so a few minutes after she got on the bus, she was squeezed around, and soon she had the uncomfortable reaction of motion sickness.
She hugged her small bag tightly. Inside were all her belongings, her ID card, two cards, her cell phone, and some small items.
She leaned against a chair at the side. There were already people sitting on it, and she did not want to sit on it. Because sitting down made her feel even more nauseous, it was better to stand on it. She leaned against the pillar in front of the chair and closed her eyes slightly to endure the discomfort in her stomach.
It would only take half an hour to reach the hospital. She hypnotized herself.
But suddenly, she felt someone pulling at her down jacket.
She opened her eyes and looked back. She saw a young man looking at her with a kind expression. "You seem to be sick. I'll give you my seat. Sit down."
He gave up a seat for Tang Xiaowei, right behind her.
Tang Xiaowei was so upset that she couldn't speak, but she still shook her head and refused. "Thank you, but I don't need it. I'm just carsick. It's even more uncomfortable to sit."
The man saw this and didn't try to persuade her again. He sat down on his own.
Only then did Tang Xiaowei turn her head and continue to close her eyes to endure the sickness.
And after she turned her head, the man who had just given her a seat immediately sent a message to his master, reporting the situation just now.
Half an hour later, Tang Xiaowei finally got off the bus and stood in front of the hospital's intersection.
And after enduring for a long time, she finally couldn't hold it in anymore and vomited directly by the roadside at the hospital's entrance.
A nurse happened to pass by. The nurse came over to help her and asked worriedly, "Why did you throw up? Have you been checked?"
Tang Xiaowei shook her head. "It's fine. I just got carsick. Thank you."
The nurse was relieved and walked into the hospital.
Tang Xiaowei sat on the chair outside for a while. She planned to wait until her stomach was no longer uncomfortable before she went in. She didn't want her father to ask questions when he saw her and her mother to be worried when she woke up.
Although she had been betrayed by her father before, Tang Xiaowei saw clearly that he was filled with guilt for her this morning. Moreover, he had promised that such a thing wouldn't happen again. It must be true so she did not want them to worry anymore.
She sat on the chair alone. This place was not as deserted as the place where she had taken the bus just now.
Because of the hospital entrance, there were many people here, and the lights were bright. She was not afraid anymore.
Not long after she lowered her head, a black car stopped not far away from the intersection. The man on the car looked at her from afar through the window, his face gloomy.
Tang Xiaowei sat on the chair for more than ten minutes. Her stomach finally felt better. Only then did she get up and walk into the hospital.
In her mother's ward, her father was still there, but he was already asleep while her mother was still in a deep sleep. Her father sat in front of the hospital bed and held her mother's hand tightly. He only had his head on the hospital bed and was quietly waiting for her.
It was this scene that showed Tang Xiaowei how dearly her father loved her mother.
It was precisely because of this that when her father was unable to resist Huangfu Qiye, Huangfu Qiye agreed to save her mother, which was why her father agreed to Huangfu Qiye's request.
In fact, Tang Xiaowei was quite envious of her father's love for her mother. This kind of love, which was willing to sacrifice everything and only wanted to save her lover, although selfish, was very rare.
She admitted that she was also a selfish person and hoped that one day she would be able to meet a man who loved her enough to give up everything.
But now, it seemed that she knew that she hadn't met him yet. It was also possible that she would never meet him in her lifetime.
She pushed the door open and walked in.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Tang Qingxuan suddenly woke up. He turned around and saw that Tang Xiaowei had already entered and closed the door.
