Chapter 792: She Felt Like the Third Wheel in His Relationship Xie Yi softly said, “Xuning, I’m right beside you. Just sleep.”

Xie Xuning seemed to have heard Xie Yi’s voice in his sleep. His expression relaxed gradually.

Ye Tianxin looked at Xie Yi and Xie Xuning, dumbstruck. She never expected Xie Yi to say something like that to her father.

There was a hint of unease in her heart, but she didn’t know why she suddenly felt that way.

However, she could not explain and had no idea why she felt like that.

“Dr. Xie, I’m sorry about this. My dad probably misses my mum too much.”

The scene of Xie Yi and Xie Xuning holding hands seemed inexplicably glaring to Ye Tianxin.

Xie Yi seemed not to have noticed that she was holding Xie Xuning’s hands in hers. She said in a low voice, “It’s normal for people who’re feverish to have nightmares. Tianxin, you haven’t officially entered the medical field yet. Once you do, you’ll realize how hard it’ll be to verbally describe many things. Most of the time, our identity as a doctor comes before our identity as a woman. In other words, we’d have to disregard our gender as a doctor…”

Ye Tianxin replaced the old towel on Xie Xuning’s forehead with a newer wet one.

She could feel that the Acetaminophen injection starting to take effect; Xie Xuning’s skin seemed to be burning less as compared to before.

“Dr. Xie, how did you and Mr. Shi get to know each other? Both of you look good together!”

Xie Yi was stunned. Before Ye Tianxin spoke, she did not know that Ye Tianxin had the wrong idea about her relationship with Shi Han. She quickly explained, “Tianxin, my relationship with Shi Han’s not as you’d think. We’re not married.”

“Ah…”

Did Mo’er not address Shi Han as “Dad” and Xie Yi as “Mum”?

Why weren’t they spouses? Why would both of them be so close with each other if they weren’t?

“It’s a long story, and I won’t be able to explain it clearly to you now. Shi Han’s married to someone else, not me!”

“Oh, I see.”

Ye Tianxin never expected that from a man who looked noble and handsome like Shi Han.

Xie Yi certainly would not reveal Shi Han’s true identity to Ye Tianxin. Shi Han was not only a savior to her but also her family.

“Tianxin, your dad must love your mum very much, right?”

Xie Yi could not help feeling jealous when she mentioned that.

How in love must a man be with a woman to remain single even after she passed away for so long?

How in love must a man be with a woman to call her name affectionately in a nightmare over and over again?

Ye Tianxin’s eyes seemed to tear up when Xie Yi mentioned her mum.

“Dad loves Mum a lot. He loves her with every fiber of his being.”

Xie Yi lowered her head and looked at Xie Xuning’s hand that she was holding. She felt like the third wheel in his relationship.

She tried to pull her hands out from Xie Xuning’s.

“Linlang, don’t leave me!” Xie Xuning started muttering in his sleep as soon as she started pulling her hands out from his.

“Linlang…Linlang…”

Tears were rolling down Xie Xuning’s cheeks from the corner of his eyes.

Xie Yi forced herself to stand up and say to Ye Tianxin, “He should be fine. Tianxin, take good care of your father. Come and get me if anything happens.”

She stumbled out of the room and saw that the ground was already gleaming with moonlight.
