As soon as I saw him like this, I became anxious and unconsciously took a step forward, grabbing his clothes and saying, "What happened to him? Speak up!"
Lu Yi Heng calmly pulled my hand away and then glanced outside, saying, "You go wait for me downstairs. I'll finish up here and come find you."
I was burning with anxiety, but I couldn't pry open the mouth of this Doctor, so I could only go out and wait for him downstairs.
Half an hour later, all the Doctors came out of the Hospital, and I finally saw Lu Yi Heng wearing a light blue coat coming out from inside.
He spotted me standing on the side of the Hospital at a glance and walked straight over, saying, "Let's go have lunch together."
I had no appetite at all, and my purpose was very clear. However, when faced with his invitation, I had to consider his position. After all, he was a Doctor; normally, after finishing work at noon, he would go eat. But instead of eating, he was chatting with me and missed his meal. What about the afternoon? Would he still have the energy to see patients? Thinking about it this way, wouldn't it affect more people?
At this thought, I wanted to curse out loud. Just like Lu Yishan, he was such a busybody; it was really annoying. If it weren't for my own request, I would rather never see these siblings in my life.
Lu Yi Heng walked ahead without noticing my change in mood and directly took me to a Western Restaurant near the Hospital.
The environment here was nice, and there weren't many people, making it suitable for eating while discussing matters.
He didn't bother with pleasantries and ordered steak and soup for himself first. When he saw that my eyes hadn't even glanced at the menu, he softly said, "The pasta here is also good; do you want to try it?"
I nodded.
After he spoke to the waiter again, he turned to me and asked, "How did you find out about this?"
Hearing this question made me realize it was true.
That night, Xiao Minxing wasn't completely fine; he just kept it from me along with the Doctor. If I thought about it that way, did that mean he was seriously ill?
Skipping all the details in between, I urgently asked Lu Yi Heng, "Is he serious? What illness does he have?"
Lu Yi Heng tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "It's not serious; he just can't overexert himself, especially his heart. Anger, rage, or sadness can worsen his condition."
"What exactly is wrong with him?" I was almost frantic.
Lu Yi Heng was still pondering how to phrase his response: "He mentioned wanting to keep this from you. I don't know how you found out, but given Xiao Minxing's temperament, if he discovers someone has leaked information to you, he will inevitably get angry, so..."
"I already know now; it's not because you told me, and I won't tell him. I just want to know how he is doing right now."
In fact, I almost blurted out that it was his sister who revealed it. It would be best if he got so angry that he went back and slapped Lu Yishan a couple of times to vent my frustration.
However, I knew deep down that even if no one had told me, I wouldn't be able to rest easy and would have looked into it myself; I just didn't know where the breakthrough would come from.
Xiao Minxing was acting too strangely right now; I couldn't just sit by and watch things get worse.
Lu Yi Heng was also looking at me from across the table, his gaze strange, as if he were judging the truth of my words or weighing what saying this might bring me. I couldn't even tell if he was concerned about Xiao Minxing.
"It’s a condition he had since childhood; it just hasn't flared up in many years, and it has started again recently."
After a long pause, Lu Yi Heng finally spoke softly and quickly added, "It's just a bit of a mental issue; it's not a serious illness. As long as he isn't subjected to particularly strong stimuli, he should be fine."
I picked out the key points from his words and thought slowly: an illness from childhood? Stimuli? Mental issues?
I had spent two or three years with Xiao Minxing when we were younger, and at that time, I didn't think he had any illness. Of course, his personality wasn't great; he often clashed with his older siblings and would hit rocks when he got angry.
But he treated me well, and since I didn't have many friends at that time, we became particularly close.
As for stimuli, I couldn't recall what he had experienced recently. At least in our lives, we had maintained a chaotic state together. If he were truly affected by something, wouldn't he have fallen ill long ago?
It seemed that the extent of what I could learn from Lu Yi Heng was limited to this. As for Xiao Minxing's medical history or anything like that, he probably didn't have it either. So I asked something else: "A few days ago, he took leave for about a week. Do you know where he went?"
Lu Yi Heng looked up at me again but didn't answer immediately. Instead, he said, "You should be able to figure it out yourself."
Alright, I also know that he might be going to get treatment, and not only is he hiding it from me, but also from the people in the company. His assistant only knows that he went out for something, without any clarity on what it is.
Actually, when I asked Lu Yi Heng these questions, I wanted to find out from him where Xiao Minxing went for treatment and how he is doing now. However, he clearly had no intention of sharing that with me, which is why he flatly refused.
After making the effort to find him, the information I got was merely that Xiao Minxing is indeed ill and has gone to great lengths to keep it a secret from others, including me.
Even things that the Lu Family Siblings know, he deliberately kept from me, which shows how distant our relationship has become. Perhaps Lu Yishan was right; if I were to leave him, it might actually help his condition.
Thinking back since our marriage, it seems he has really been angry for a long time. Although I feel like I never intentionally tried to provoke him, it’s more like he finds trouble every day. However, one reason could be that seeing someone who annoys you can naturally bring out anger.
From the very beginning, he knew I was a fraud with ulterior motives—coming to his side just for his money and Mrs. Xiao's reputation. Therefore, everything about me must have seemed displeasing to him. Perhaps as long as I remain by his side without doing anything, his condition will never improve.
Otherwise, how can we explain the childhood illness that hadn’t recurred for so many years but has recently started again?
After saying goodbye to Lu Yi Heng, I walked alone on the street for a long time. It’s hard to describe what I felt inside; all of Xiao Minxing's past attitudes toward me—both good and bad—seemed forgivable now.
Who in this world is truly kind? It’s just that when someone is loved, they see only the good in them. Once love fades, anyone can become cruel; after all, rejecting someone who loves you while you do not love them back is a form of cruelty.
Those attachments rooted in my heart since childhood made me try every means to stay by his side. Yet not only did I fail to get what I wanted, but I also harmed him. If I don’t leave now, will Xiao Minxing’s condition continue to worsen?
I dare not think further; that night when he stood in the rain and fainted on the ground felt like a nightmare.
