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.
