C118 (2/2)
Isn't there a nurse's bell? Even if he wanted to call the doctor, why did he run out on himself? Wasn't he too anxious and muddleheaded?
Nanny Liu came out of the washroom with a clean water container and soup bowl. When she saw that Xi Muyao was the only one left in the sickroom, she asked curiously: ”Young Master, where did Miss go? And she still has medicine on her back? ”
Xi Muyao wanted to use his pinky finger to pick at his brow and tail, only then did he remember that his hands were wrapped in bandages, so he could only rub them casually and put his hands down: ”Un, about that, she went out, and will be back soon. Nanny Liu, there's nothing left here, you can go back first. ”
Since Xi Muyao had said so, and chased her away, Nanny Liu naturally would not stay any longer. He promptly replied, ”Yes, it's getting late, the Old Master is still waiting for dinner, so I'll be leaving first. Tomorrow morning, I will bring food for the young miss and Young Master. ”
Xi Muyao nodded and the Nanny Liu walked out of the washroom.
When Lu Qingli returned with the doctor, Xi Muyao was still waiting on the bed in the same posture as when Lu Qingli left.
The doctor extended his hand to touch Xi Muyao's forehead. Sure enough, there was no fever. He then asked, ”Is it still cold?”
Xi Muyao nodded indifferently, ”I just feel a little cold.”
The doctor looked at a few more places and saw that the wound was bandaged properly, so he could not find any problems with it. He could only say to Lu Qingli: ”There's nothing wrong with the wounds on your body, wait a bit longer, if he still says it's cold, then come and find me.”
Lu Qingli nodded, and could only let the doctor leave.
She sat down on the side of the bed nervously, wanting to cover Xi Muyao's corner properly.
Xi Muyao pressed her hand down with his arm, and said: ”Cold. You come up here and sleep with me. If we warm up, we might not be cold anymore. ”
Lu Qingli thought for a while, took off her shoes, and laid on top of her. She pitied Lu Qingli's back and hands, it couldn't hurt just by touching it, so she could only lie on her side in Xi Muyao's embrace.
It was a blessing. Xi Muyao habitually hugged the spot at Lu Qingli's waist. Because he was protected by Xi Muyao's arms, they did not graze each other. Xi Muyao put a hand on Lu Qingli's waist, pulled her into his embrace, and sighed.
Hearing that, Lu Qingli immediately used her blanket to cover the two of them. She asked: ”Are you warm now?”
Xi Muyao narrowed his eyes and nodded, ”En. ”Comfortable.”
Lu Qingli leaned into his embrace, and hesitantly wrapped both of her arms around his waist so that they could be even closer.
In a cell in the police station, the clear and cold light was cut open by the cold iron bars, and neatly landed on the ground. Lin Yeyan hugged her knees and shrunk into a corner, staring straight at a spot of light on the ground.
The prison guard walked past her and shook his head helplessly. He didn't know if this woman was really stupid or just faking it.
I've heard that there are no witnesses to the murder she's been talking about so far.
Check with the 120 service center to confirm that there was an ambulance at the scene of the crime today. However, the victim was transferred to the hospital in an emergency and the victim's name was not identified. The ambulance also received two patients, one male and one female, which was quite different from the one the woman mentioned.
Unable to contact her family, they had to detain her in the station and arrange for experts to come tomorrow to check if she was mentally ill.
If no one came to report her within three days, or if she couldn't find the victim, she could only let her leave.
After dinner, Lu Jinghao called Qingge to the study room.
When Qingge knocked on the door with the newly brewed tea, she was looking for something in the bookshelf.
”Father.” Qingge called out softly, ”Why are you looking for me? ”She insisted on coming to the study room.”
Lu Jinghao flipped through the book in his hands and stuffed it back into the bookshelf, then turned and sat down.
Lu Qingli placed the tea on the table in front of Lu Jinghao, ”Father, please drink some tea, I have asked someone to specially bring the top tea here, would you like some?”
Lu Jinghao took a sip of the tea and nodded, ”Yes, it is indeed a top-notch item.”
Qingge laughed and replied: ”Dad, it's good that you like it.”
”Sit down.” Lu Jinghao indicated for Qingge to sit in the chair across them with his eyes. Qingge followed his orders and sat down, feeling a little uneasy, ”Father, if there's anything you want to say, please say it.”
Lu Jinghao put down the teacup and covered the cup with its lid.
”Dad knows that you have always been strong since you were young, wanting to do everything to be the best. When you were married, Dad disagreed, and you had to tie the knot, thinking it was the man you loved the most. Your mother was supposed to talk to you about these things, but your mother left early and your father didn't know how to tell you. ”
”When you were getting divorced, you didn't say a word and just came back with Mu Ziyang. ”But you're not even willing to tell me where that man, whom dad hasn't even met before, is.”
”Child, you have always been a maverick since you were young. You have always had your own ideas, and you never let your father worry about you. If we don't make a small mistake, we will regret it for the rest of our lives. ”
Qingge twisted her fingers unnaturally, and under the cover of the large desk, Lu Jinghao was unable to see anything.
Qingge was not sure if Lu Jinghao knew anything. But, how could he let Lu Jinghao know that he had never done anything that could not be leaked. Moreover, he did his best to be flawless in the things that Lu Jinghao told her to do. Lu Jinghao only asked the result, and every time, he would always be satisfied? Could it be that the old tutor was secretly investigating her?
”Qingli, ah,” Lu Jinghao suddenly turned and called out Lu Qingli's name, causing him to suddenly raise her head, and look at Lu Jinghao.
He lowered his head and drank the tea in his cup, as if he did not notice Qingge's abnormal reaction.
He put down the cup and sighed: ”Your sister Qingli was originally the most obedient one. But now he was the one who worried him the most. An accident happened every two or three days, and now Xi Muyao was lying in the hospital. Dad will have to trouble you to take care of her. ”
Qingge's heart that was suspended in midair finally dropped back into her chest, and started beating regularly again.
