A nurse came in to check on the ward and saw Luo Nanchu’s blood-stained bed sheet. Shocked pale, she immediately rushed over to attend to Luo Nanchu’s wound.

“What did you do, Ms. Luo?” the nurse asked as she applied ointment to the wound. “How did your hand become like this?”

The nurse simply couldn’t understand how Luo Nanchu had the energy to make such a mess after just waking up.

“I’m sorry. I wanted to peel an apple,” Luo Nanchu said as she sat on the bed, stretched out her hand, and smiled. “I accidentally cut myself.”

She smiled in a sincere and innocent manner and appeared so lovable. Although the nurse was skeptical about what Luo Nanchu said, she was fooled by Luo Nanchu’s smile. After wrapping up Luo Nanchu’s wound, the nurse took the apple peeled by Fu Tingyuan from the coffee table and placed it in front of her.

“Ms. Luo, if you want to eat an apple, isn’t there a prepared one here?”

Luo Nanchu looked down and saw that besides the apple that Fu Tingyuan had just peeled, there were a few more apples that had been sliced. He had even cut them elaborately in the shape of rabbits and placed them neatly on the plate.

Looking at the rabbit-shaped apples that were arranged in an orderly manner, Luo Nanchu thought that the guy was a little mental…

“Sorry, I don’t like apples.” Luo Nanchu smiled.

Speechless, the nurse glanced at Luo Nanchu’s bandaged hand.

…

Luo Nanchu sat on the bed and gently felt the hand that was wrapped in bandages,

Softly, she asked, “Nurse, can you help me check how two patients are doing? One is in 3102 of the children’s ward and the other is in 4355 of the intensive care unit.”

She had been in a coma for three days. It was almost time for her to pay Director Xu for her father’s medical fees.

Tomorrow would be the first of the month, and she still hadn’t paid him yet.

At the thought of this, Luo Nanchu’s heart sank a little.

To this day, she still hadn’t escaped Fu Tingyuan’s control and also hadn’t raised enough money. She had neither rescued her brother nor her father and hadn’t gotten Fu Tingyuan to forgive her. He still wanted to torture her. He wouldn’t even accept her giving her life to wash away his past humiliation. She was such an idiot, and she really didn’t know what to do now.

The nurse nodded and said, “Okay, Ms. Luo.”

The nurse left. Luo Nanchu exhaled gently. Slowly leaning back against the hospital bed, she raised her hand and rubbed her stomach lightly. It was covered in bandages and aching dully.

She glanced down at the fruit knife in the trash bin.

She licked her lips as she thought to herself with some regret, What a pity.

Death could put an end to all her troubles.

Great…

Her life was going to be hell.

…

Luo Nanchu took a nap, and when she woke up, there was someone standing in the ward.

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a suit, and leather shoes, the youth stood there looking like an elite.

“Hello, Ms. Luo. My surname is Bai, so just call me Lawyer Bai.”

Luo Nanchu stared at him for a long while before she laughed and asked, “Lawyer Bai? I remember a rape case that happened in Tong City a year ago. The lawyer who defended the rapist was also surnamed Bai.”

Lawyer Bai gave a light, graceful smile.

“To be able to turn a rape case with conclusive evidence into an adultery case and successfully allow the criminal to be escape charges, Lawyer Bai rose to fame with just a single case. It was truly impressive,” Luo Nanchu said in a sweet voice, smiling with great intrigue.

Ever since then, Bai Ye became famous, and he was subsequently often seen at celebrity parties.

Luo Nanchu had always declined to work with people who were unscrupulous and greedy. However, she never thought that even Fu Tingyuan would be associating with him now.
