1252 I Want to Make You Stay 130 (1/2)
”They're very severe. She had broken her legs and her ribs. However, she's already undergone an operation and she's resting in her ward now. Her injuries weren't caused by Zong Jingyi, though. Her mother was the one who had had her beaten up. I reckon he must have just abducted her and dumped her there.”
An Xiaoning asked, ”Have you informed the Mu family yet?”
”No, she begged me not to. She didn't let me call her boyfriend either.”
”So… did you pay for her medical bills?”
”Yes, I paid using my card.”
An Xiaoning smiled and said teasingly, ”Ah, I really didn't know that our Shixin is so kindhearted.”
Fan Shixin blushed and said, ”What else could I have done? I can't possibly leave her in the lurch. It's a life we're talking about. Also, she said that she'll return the money to me.”
”What if she doesn't?”
”I don't think she's such a person. Even if she really doesn't pay me back, I'll just take it that I bought a lesson with my money. Money is only superficial anyway. I can just earn it again.”
An Xiaoning was heartened to hear how positive he was. ”She doesn't know that Zong Jingyi was the one who had dumped her there, does she?”
”Seems like she doesn't.”
”Okay. Her mother was the one who had broken her legs? How could she do that to her own daughter? Since she doesn't want her family or boyfriend to know about her hospitalization, look after her for the next few days. It's not appropriate to just dump her in the hospital either.”
”I thought so too.”
”You've been exhausted after such a long day. I shall not disturb you any further. Hurry and go get some rest.
”Okay, goodnight, Young Madam.”
”Yes.”

News of Mu Wansheng going missing began to spread amongst the Mu family members. Mrs. Mu woke up to discover that her daughter had gone missing. Thinking that Mu Wansheng had fled on her own, she thought to herself, She definitely wasn't beaten hard enough.
When she finally caught sight of Zong Jingyi, she thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her. After all, she frequently had nightmares about Zong Jingyi.
She initially thought that Mu Wansheng had gone to look for her boyfriend. Thus, she sent her bodyguards to look into the matter, only to hear that her boyfriend could not contact her at all since the night before.
Mrs. Mu did not think much of it for she simply thought that her daughter had gone into hiding.
However, Mu Wansheng's boyfriend, Xing Wei, was extremely worried about his girlfriend, whom he could not contact. He headed to the possible places where Mu Wansheng could be bright and early in the morning. He even tried to look for her at her friends' homes, but his efforts were futile. At last, he had no choice but to call the police.
Shortly after, he received a notice from the police.
”We've found your girlfriend, but she told us that she can't see you at the moment. She'll come to meet you once she's recovered, and she wants me to tell you not to look her up.”
Greatly taken aback by the policeman's words, he had no choice but to head home.
He continuously tried to call his girlfriend, only to hear the automated robot voice that kept telling him that she could not be reached at the moment.
While he was fretting over the lack of communication, Mu Wansheng was in great pain and agony at the hospital.
Mu Wansheng began shrieking hysterically due to the unbearable pain in her legs that consumed her once the anesthetic had worn off.
That was not all.
She could relieve nature's calls with ease since she had a urinal tube attached to her. However, she could not manage to do a number two and had to call for the nurse's help. She could not hold it in for long either.
Thus, she settled it right on the spot in bed.
One can only imagine how terrible that felt.
No one showed up even after her voice had turned hoarse from all the yelling.
