Chapter 288: Frightened

Translator: 549690339

Qiao Mu didn’t know when she lost consciousness, but she was in a daze. Her entire body was burning, and it was so hot that even breathing was strenuous for her.

All sorts of noises could be heard.

There were voices, footsteps, and all kinds of noises coming and going. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were especially heavy and she could not open them.

Her body was originally hot, but she instantly felt cold. It was so cold that she could not help but shiver.

An image flashed in his mind, and he suddenly returned to ten years ago. He fell into the pool, and Qiao Ya was laughing arrogantly by the shore…

“Don’t…” Qiao Mu mumbled in a daze. Her face was flushed and her emotions were extremely unstable.

Li Yan, who was standing by the bed, frowned. His eyes were filled with worry and heartache.

After the doctor did a checkup, he looked at the man’s cold aura and said cautiously,”Mr. Li, the patient has a high fever because of a cold. The wound on her back was soaked in dirty water and caused an infection. It’s not serious. As long as she receives an infusion to reduce the fever, she will recover soon.” Li Yan pursed his lips and nodded, agreeing to the doctor’s infusion.

When the doctor was ready to insert the needle, Qiao Mu’s hand moved uncooperatively and she kept muttering something, making it difficult for the doctor to do it.

Li Yan sat down by the bed and vaguely heard her voice. “”Don’t…Sister, save me…l didn’t fall into the water, it was my sister who pushed me…Mumu is very obedient and didn’t make a fuss…”

Li Yan’s eyes darkened as he listened to her helpless cry for help. His heart clenched tightly.

His large hand gently caressed her forehead, and his low voice rang in her ear,

“”Mumu, I’m here. Be good. You’ll be fine.”

Qiao Mu seemed to hear a voice in her sleep, and her emotions gradually calmed down.

Li Yan watched as the doctor put on the IV drip and asked coldly,”She’s just having a fever. Why is she so emotionally unstable?”

“The patient fell into the water and had a fever. It might be because he was frightened, or it might be because he had a similar experience in the past that left behind some aftereffects. That’s why he reacted so excitedly.” the doctor replied respectfully.

After-effects? Li Yan’s face darkened when he thought of what she had said earlier.

Had Qiao Ya pushed her into the water before?

How much grievances had this little thing suffered?

Li Yan had never known what regret was, but at this moment, he regretted leaving without saying goodbye all those years ago!

Qiao Ya!

Li Yan’s eyes flashed with a bone-piercing coldness. He had to make Qiao Ya pay the price!

Qiao Mu did not know how long she had slept, but it felt like she had slept for a century.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar room.

She got up and saw Li Yan leaning on the sofa opposite her. His eyes were closed as if he was asleep.

He looked very tired, with a layer of stubble on his chin. The two buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned and casually opened. His originally docile clothes were full of wrinkles.

The man who had always loved cleanliness and could not tolerate a trace of mess had made himself look so disgraceful.

Even so, it still couldn’t hide his handsome face. Instead, it made him even sexier.

Qiao Mu moved her arm and felt the back of her hand hurt. Only then did she see the empty bag of medicine hanging at the side. She had just received an IV drip.

She had fallen asleep, but this man had been by her side the entire time?

Qiao Mu couldn’t bear to wake him up, so she quietly got off the bed. Enduring the faint pain in her back, she took the blanket and gently covered the man’s body.

However, her gentle movements caused the man to frown slightly. In the next moment, his wrist was grabbed.

“Hiss…” He happened to be holding the spot where she had been injected with the needle.

Li Yan opened his eyes immediately. When he saw the person in front of him, he immediately let go and frowned.. ” Why did you get out of bed? “
