The words the doctor said next, Ye Nuanxi could no longer listen, all of her consciousness focused on the phrase "taken away by Dad!"
The next moment, the strength that had been built up over a long time, in this instant, completely collapsed!
Her dad taking her away could not mean he would save her brother, it could only mean he wanted her brother to die sooner, so he wouldn't have to worry about anyone vying with his precious daughter for the inheritance!
"Miss Ye, you couldn't possibly have come without money, could you?"
Seeing that Ye Nuanxi didn't speak, Dr. Hu quickly shook her dazed body, "You promised me, eight hundred thousand, it would take me the better half of a lifetime as a chief physician to be able to pay it back. Miss Ye, you can't let me down..."
"Here's a million, take it and pay my brother's medical expenses!"
Ye Nuanxi numbly took out a bank card from her purse, "The remaining two hundred thousand, you help me give it to Keke first. Don't worry, you're Keke's friend, I won't trick anyone, let alone you!"
No sooner had she spoken than she left the ward without waiting for Dr. Hu to react.
As she walked away, Ye Nuanxi took out her phone to make a call, someone answered quickly on the other end. The person answering seemed to have anticipated her call, his indifferent voice came through the phone the moment the call connected: "Finally thought to call me?"
"Where did you take my brother?"
Ye Nuanxi didn't beat around the bush with him and got straight to the point, "I'm asking you, where did you take my brother?"
"As long as you obediently marry Long Yutian, I will naturally return your useless brother to you!"
Exactly as she had imagined she'd hear, "I knew you wouldn't be so obedient. Once you get married, I can't be bothered to take care of your brother, lying in bed half-dead..."
"He's my brother, he's also your son!"
Ye Nuanxi truly couldn't believe these words were coming from the mouth of a father. She had always known him to be heartless, but the extent of his cruelty still refreshed her understanding of her father's ruthlessness, "Ye Zhenxiong, you will eventually get your comeuppance!"
"Comeuppance? I'll wait!"
The man on the phone seemed utterly indifferent to her words, "Defying me has this end. Ye Nuanxi, you'd better remember, I've already taken Long Yutian's bride price. You'd better obediently get married, or I promise you won't get to see your brother again!"
Before Ye Nuanxi could respond, he hung up the phone!
Looking at the hung-up phone screen, a feeling of mutual destruction and despair welled up within her, the grip on her phone tightened firmly...
Just as Ye Nuanxi was about to crush her phone in her grip, a call came in. Instinctively thinking it was her bestial father, Ye Zhenxiong, calling, she calmed down as she saw the three characters jumping on the screen and slid the answer button...
"Mr. Lin!"
Ye Nuanxi tried to calm her emotions, "What do you want?"
"No... not much,"
Probably out of a guilty conscience, Lin Feng wasn't very articulate when calling; after all, it was his young master who wanted to take advantage of someone. So, he didn't stand as tall when speaking, "It's just... can you come over again tonight?"
"What do you mean by coming over again?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nuanxi instinctively felt it was nothing good, "Isn't it according to the contract that last night was the best time for conception? I also came as expected, we left traces on the sheets, the contract clearly stated everything, so what else do you want to frame me for?"
