Zhan Hanjue stood by the bed with a sullen face, watching Ye Ningwan strip off Ye Shao’s shirt. The fifteen-year-old boy’s body was thin and not much to look at, which slightly improved Zhan Hanjue’s expression. Ye Ningwan pressed on his abdomen, and when she touched a certain spot, the unconscious Ye Shao winced in pain and suddenly woke up. Ye Ningwan quickly released her hand and felt his pulse again, her expression becoming more serious. "Is it very serious?" Zhan Hanjue speculated, seeing her expression. Ye Ningwan put down Ye Shao’s hand and tucked him in: "It’s indeed not looking good. We should go to the hospital tomorrow for some scans." "Are you...my sister?" Ye Shao woke up, his face pale as paper, yet his eyes were intensely dark as he looked at Ye Ningwan. Ye Ningwan said: "My parents adopted you back then, and we were siblings for two years. You were young at the time and don’t remember, but I still remember some childhood memories. Later, my parents died in a car accident, and I was sent to the countryside by the Ye Family. I tried to find you but didn’t hear anything about you. I thought you had been sent away, but I didn’t expect you’d still be in Jiangcheng. I’m sorry for finding you so late." He probably lived a difficult life over these years, growing excessively thin for a fifteen-year-old, clearly malnourished. Moreover, his health is poor, and one wonders how he survived over the years. "You’re my sister, I have a sister, turns out...I have a sister." Ye Shao’s eyes reddened, crying with convulsing sobs as his chest heaved. Ye Ningwan didn’t expect him to be so emotional, even crying. She quickly comforted him: "Don’t cry, I’ll be here in the future to protect you from being bullied." "Sister." Ye Shao burst into loud sobs, struggling to sit up and tightly embrace her. Ye Ningwan was a bit dazed! She raised her hand awkwardly, gently patting his back to calm him down. This time, Zhan Hanjue did not rush over to separate them but instead walked out. Ye Ningwan looked at his figure, her gaze filled with gratitude. After Ye Shao calmed down, Ye Ningwan had him lie down on the bed, poured him a cup of warm water, and softly inquired about his experiences over the years. Ye Shao shook his head: "I don’t know about my connection with the Ye Family. Ever since I remember, I’ve been at the orphanage. Those who found me said I told them I was called Ye Shao, so they called me Ye Shao. Life at the orphanage was tough; I left at thirteen, wandered alone outside, doing anything just to survive." Even had to fight stray cats and dogs for food. But he dared not say these words, fearing Ye Ningwan would be disgusted and reject him. Even without him speaking, Ye Ningwan could imagine what difficulties a child alone would face to survive. Her heart ached deeply. She remembered when her father brought him into their home, both her parents were happy, buying him nice clothes and toys. Truly treating him like their own child, just as lovingly, he was once the apple of their eyes. But due to the car accident that took her parents, this precious boy became a weed subject to bullying. "With me around, you won’t have to suffer those hard days anymore; you won’t need to worry about being bullied." Ye Ningwan reached out to pat his head. Just like when she first met him as a child, she patted his head like this. Ye Shao’s eyes reddened again, tears streaming: "Sister, I’ll stay with you from now on." He knew Ye Ningwan wasn’t just saying this; she truly would protect him, just as she protected him today. "Are you hungry?" Ye Ningwan asked again. Ye Shao said nothing, but his stomach growled audibly. Ye Ningwan smiled: "I’ll have some food prepared for you soon. You can take a bath afterward and have a good sleep tonight. Tomorrow... I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up; don’t be afraid, nothing will happen." Ye Shao nodded. Ye Ningwan stepped out, and Zhan Hanjue stood outside the door. "Sorry, would you mind having your staff make some food for him and find some clean clothes for him to wear?" Ye Ningwan asked hesitantly. Zhan Hanjue responded coldly: "You are still the Young Madam of the Zhan Family; order them anything you want." "But you said..." "I also said what you agree to get you want. From now on, you are the only Young Madam of the Zhan Family, my only wife." "Can I think about it?" Ye Ningwan pondered, her gaze pleading as she asked. Zhan Hanjue glanced at her: "Seven days, you have seven days to consider." After speaking, Zhan Hanjue left, returning to his room. Ye Ningwan curled her lips, she had secured seven days, what couldn’t she find out in seven days? "Housekeeper Wu," Ye Ningwan called. Housekeeper Wu soon arrived, respectfully asking: "Young Madam, anything you need?" "Instruct the kitchen to make some porridge, add a little herbs to replenish energy, and a bit of rock sugar inside. Also prepare a set...around 165cm boy’s pajamas, and some outer clothes and shoes that size. Bring them over when ready." "Yes, Young Madam, I’ll get right on it." Housekeeper Wu quickly agreed. Soon, the porridge was cooked and brought in with some side dishes. Clothes were also ready, with three sets of pajamas in various materials and colors. Outer clothes included five sets paired with five pairs of shoes. Housekeeper Wu said, if anything was unsatisfactory, she should instruct him, and he would have more prepared. "This is already great, thank you, much appreciated." Ye Ningwan thanked him. After Housekeeper Wu exited, Ye Ningwan saw the stunned Ye Shao and said: "You eat something first; once you’re done, go take a bath. These clothes are yours and you can wear them tomorrow." "Sister, is this the Ye Family?" Ye Shao asked. Ye Ningwan solemnly told him: "This is certainly not the Ye Family, remember, there are no good people in the Ye Family." "But you are a good person, Sister," Ye Shao said. Ye Ningwan snorted coldly: "That’s because I haven’t been part of the Ye Family for a long time; my ’Ye’ was given by my father and has nothing to do with the current Ye Family." Ye Shao nodded blankly; although he didn’t fully understand, he remembered his sister’s words. Sister’s surname Ye, his surname Ye, both given by their father. But unrelated to the Ye Family, Ye Family are not good people. After eating, Ye Ningwan had him rest for a bit, then go wash and sleep. When he went to wash, Ye Ningwan took the empty bowl out. However, upon stepping out, she saw a servant waiting by the door and handed her the empty bowl. "Young Madam, the Young Master asks you to go to his room when you’re done here," Housekeeper Wu came over to remind her. Ye Ningwan nodded and turned to find Zhan Hanjue.
