Fang Pingjue did not speak, but his gaze became more and more turbid.

Xu Pingfei could not stand him like this. She found an excuse and ran out of the ward. Xu Pingfei stood leaning against the wall and thought about the past. After all, she had lived with Fang Pingjue for a lifetime. He was the only man in her life. The first half of her life revolved around the Fang family.

The person she had taken good care of and cared about had actually ended up like this. Xu Pingfei was not heartless, so she naturally felt upset.

Fang Yu’an returned with breakfast. When he saw Xu Pingfei secretly wiping her tears, he stopped in his tracks.

Fang Yu’an stared at Xu Pingfei for a long time and pretended not to see her. He turned around and walked into a corner. He stood by the window and waited for a few minutes before returning to his room. Seeing that Xu Pingfei was no longer in the corridor, Fang Yu’an pushed open the ward door and entered.

Xu Pingfei had indeed regained her composure in the ward.

Fang Pingjue heard the door open and tilted his head to look at Fang Yu’an. The corners of his lips moved before he said, “You’re here too?”

“Yeah.”

Fang Yu’an called his father and told Fang Pingjue about Fang Yuqing’s return.

Upon hearing this, Fang Pingjue seemed to be a little touched. He raised his head and looked out of the window, nodding softly. Fang Yu’an carefully observed Fang Pingjue and realized that Fang Pingjue was in a bad mental state. It was not the kind of mental state where he was feeling unwell. He was mentally ill.

Thinking about what Chi Baoguang said about how the doctor could not save Fang Pingjue if he wanted to die, Fang Yu’an felt tired.

He suddenly said to Xu Pingfei, “Mom, haven’t you run out of scenes recently? Why don’t you accompany Dad more?” Xu Pingfei and Fang Pingjue both looked at Fang Yu’an. Xu Pingfei seemed to have something to say, but Fang Yu’an spoke first. “Although you’re already divorced, Dad needs someone to accompany him in his current situation. I’ll have to trouble you to accompany him more.”

Fang Yu’an’s real intention was to hope that Xu Pingfei would accompany Fang Pingjue and make him give up on his thoughts of death.

Xu Pingfei also understood this.

Fang Pingjue’s gaze turned to Xu Pingfei again. He was waiting for her answer. Xu Pingfei hesitated for a moment before saying, “Alright, I have nothing to do when I rest anyway.” In fact, she had yet to finish filming her scenes. She had just joined the production team not long ago, and she still had to work for more than a month before she could finish filming her scenes.

Seeing that his mother had agreed, Fang Yu’an walked out of the ward and called the production team to voluntarily compensate for the breach of contract and ask them to find someone to replace Xu Pingfei again.

Fang Yusheng did not see Chi Baoguang during breakfast. He asked Lisa and learned from Lisa that Chi Baoguang did not sleep for half the night and was still catching up on his sleep. He investigated the reason why Chi Baoguang did not sleep in the middle of the night and found out that something had happened to Fang Pingjue.

“Suicide by swallowing medicine?”

When they suddenly heard this news, Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng were very surprised.

“Yes, he swallowed half a bottle of sleeping pills.” Lisa sounded emotional too.

Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. Who would have thought that the vicious person in the past would choose to end his life in such a way? Fang Yusheng said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Let’s go see him later.”

“Okay.”

After bidding farewell to Lisa, the couple sent the children to kindergarten before bringing their companions to the hospital to visit Fang Pingjue.

When he saw Fang Pingjue, Fang Yusheng actually felt unfamiliar.

After Fang Pingjue was injured in the leg, he was no longer as arrogant as before. He was tall to begin with, and even when he was middle-aged, he still had some signs of gaining weight. His hind leg had been amputated in an accident, and he had been lying in the hospital for a few months, so he was extremely thin.

After resting for a period of time, he barely regained her human appearance, but he was not fat. He could only be said to have an ordinary figure.

The last time he saw Fang Pingjue was at Pingjun’s family banquet where Chi Baoguang and Lisa attended. After half a year, when he saw Fang Pingjue again, he had actually lost so much weight. Fang Pingjue’s body was thin, and so was his face. There was only a little flesh in his cheekbones.

Seeing Fang Pingjue like this, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng could not recognize him for a moment and thought that they had entered the wrong door. However, Xu Pingfei and Fang Yu’an were still sitting in the room. They had to admit that this man who was neither human nor ghost was Fang Pingjue.

After entering the house, Fang Yusheng did not say much.

Qiao Jiusheng sat down beside Fang Yusheng. After a long time, Fang Pingjue noticed Fang Yusheng. He stared at him for a long time before saying with a cold smile, “Why are you here, bastard?”

In the past, Fang Yusheng would have lost his temper when he heard the bastard.

But today, he was very calm.

Only Qiao Jiusheng glared at Fang Pingjue coldly.

Fang Pingjue continued to sneer. He thought of something and said, “To see me? Or to laugh at me?” He sighed and said, “Sorry, I’m not dead yet. I’m still breathing. I’ve disappointed you.”

Fang Yu’an quickly stood up and said to Fang Yusheng, “Brother Yusheng, let’s talk outside.”

Fang Yusheng stood up and walked out of the house with Fang Yu’an. “Brother Yusheng, don’t listen to Dad. The doctor said that he has depression. Sometimes, his words and actions are a little extreme.” Fang Yu’an was a little embarrassed. He did not expect Fang Pingjue to have such a big opinion.

Fang Yusheng nodded and said, “Do I have to be angry at someone who’s about to die?”

Fang Yu’an was speechless.

“If that’s what you think, you won’t be angry anymore.”

“Yeah.”

Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng did not stay in the hospital for long before returning.

On the way back, Fang Yusheng asked Qiao Jiusheng, “How long do you think he can live?”

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Jiusheng said, “Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps tonight, perhaps he won’t die.” This depended on Fang Pingjue’s thoughts.

Fang Yusheng gripped the steering wheel with his fingers and frowned slightly. He remained silent.

Fang Yuqing arrived at Binjiang City that night.

She did not go home and went straight to the hospital. When Fang Pingjue saw her, he actually cried hysterically and apologized as he cried. Fang Yuqing frowned and listened, her expression not looking good. The night Fang Yuqing returned, she took care of Fang Pingjue in the hospital for the entire night.

Later on, Fang Pingjue’s body mostly recovered and he was discharged.

Xu Pingfei had also temporarily moved back to the Fang family home. She chatted with Fang Pingjue during the day, but most of the time, Fang Pingjue was alone. It was unknown what he was thinking.

On this day, Xu Pingfei prepared the medicine for Fang Pingjue and handed it to him.

Fang Pingjue suddenly threw all the medicine to the ground.

Xu Pingfei’s eyebrows twitched. Just as she was about to flare up, she heard Fang Pingjue scold, “I’m not taking it! What’s the use of this medicine if it doesn’t work? Will my leg recover after it?” He used his prosthetic leg to step on the pill on the ground.

His movements were too big, and his prosthetic leg slipped. Fang Pingjue actually rolled to the ground.
