This sentence made Ming Liuyi feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar, as if the one who had just called out “dear” was not Yao Zizhou. Just as Yao Zizhou was about to faint again, he heard an expected but unconfident answer.

“I am Ming Liuyi.”

With that, Ming Liuyi lowered her head and quietly waited for Yao Zizhou’s judgment. However, after waiting for a long time, she still did not hear Yao Zizhou’s words. Ming Liuyi carefully raised her head and found that Yao Zizhou had passed out again.

Ming Liuyi’s heart was panicking. It was not over. Yao Zizhou had woken up and did not give Ming Liuyi any time to flee. How could Yao Zizhou suddenly wake up like this? This was completely different from the original storyline!

Yao Zizhou’s last memory was when Ming Liuyi chased him off the balcony. That sentence “Who are you?” was like a hunter confirming his prey. Ming Liuyi felt like a bullet was going to pierce her head at any moment.

At this time, Ming Liuyi was already considering whether she should pack her luggage and escape in the middle of the night. Before Ming Liuyi could think of anything, the ambulance arrived. The housekeepers put Yao Zizhou and Yao Gui into the ambulance.

When Ming Liuyi saw them get loaded into the ambulance, she immediately wanted to leave this place. However, it seemed that even the heavens did not want Ming Liuyi to escape like this. The paramedic who came with the ambulance looked at the crowd and anxiously called out,”Who’s the family member? We need a family member to come with us to the hospital.”

They did not know where Yao Ziyang had run off to. The housekeepers could only look at Ming Liuyi. Ming Liuyi’s figure, which was originally trying to escape the scene, suddenly stopped in place. Ming Liuyi had no choice but to smile awkwardly.

“I’m the patient’s family.”

Then, she braced herself and got into the ambulance. Ming Liu did not know what to do. Fortunately, Yao Gui’s secretary was already at the hospital. The secretary would take care of the rest.

Seeing the red and swollen palm print on Ming Liuyi’s face, the secretary immediately arranged for the nurse to apply an ice pack on Ming Liuyi’s face. Yao Zizhou and his father were examined and sent to the ward—both of them were fine.

In the ward, the nurses and caregivers were all there, so Ming Liuyi was completely useless. After such a long time, Ming Liuyi was still in her pajamas. She had only taken a coat with her to the hospital. The hospital nurses had cleaned Yao Zizhou’s body.

The sour liquid on Ming Liuyi’s body had dried up, and it was very pungent. Ming Liuyi wanted to go back and take a bath as soon as possible, and then think about what to do next.

She found an excuse and said to the secretary, “I’ll go back to rest for a while and prepare some dinner for tonight.”

The secretary did not suspect anything and asked the driver to send Ming Liuyi back. When Ming Liuyi entered the house, she saw Xiao Fan anxiously pacing back and forth at the door. When Xiao Fan saw Ming Liuyi return, she immediately went up and grabbed her hand.

“Madam, how was it? Are you alright?”

Seeing the red and swollen palm print on Ming Liuyi’s face, Xiao Fan’s heart ached. Tears welled up in her eyes. Ming Liuyi saw Xiao Fan’s state and patted her shoulder with a smile on her face.

“I’m fine. The master is awake, too. Chairman Yao is also fine.”

Ming Liuyi originally wanted to ask about what had happened, but before she could ask, Xiao Fan started rambling on about what had happened. It turned out that the housekeepers were woken up by the sour smell in the house and asked about it.

Everyone searched for a while and found that the smell came from Ming Liuyi and Yao Zizhou’s bedroom. Xiao Fan immediately began to knock on the door, wanting to ask the madam what was going on, but there was no response.

The smell was very strange. The servants subconsciously thought that something had happened inside. After thinking about it, the other housekeepers thought that Xiao Fan could not handle it. They were afraid of being punished, so one of them reported this to Yao Gui.

What happened next was that Ming Liuyi was dragged from the bed and onto the ground by Yao Ziyang. Ming Liuyi had personally experienced the events that followed.

After hearing what happened while she was asleep, Ming Liuyi suddenly remembered that Yao Ziyang was nowhere to be found.

She immediately asked, “Xiao Fan, where’s Yao Ziyang?”

Xiao Fan frowned. Today’s matter was particularly chaotic. Xiao Fan had been worried about the madam, so she did not pay much attention to anyone else. After thinking for a moment, Xiao Fan remembered something and smacked her own head.

“Madam, I remember now! Yao Ziyang only appeared after you guys left in the ambulance. He did not say anything. He just looked terrible.”
