Lu Mo, on the other hand, was full of grievances and schemes. She scolded hysterically, “Qiao An, don’t dream of getting close to my senior again. We’re about to get married. Do you know how much pain you’ve caused me, a cancer patient, by interfering in our lives from time to time?

Qiao An, you were also injured by a mistress back then. How can you play the shameless role of a mistress now and transfer your pain back to me? Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

Lu Mo’s words were like countless soul-locking nails that nailed Qiao An to the cross of shame. Her mind instantly went blank, and the condemnation of her conscience made her momentarily dazed.

Coupled with the fact that she had been kicked a few times by the bandits, her body was in extreme pain. She felt the world spin and she was about to faint.

Lu Mo forcefully ordered the nurse beside her, “Send Qiao An home.”

Qiao An watched as they took Huo Xiaoran away. In a daze, she chased after them, but the nurse dragged her and didn’t let her get into the car.

Qiao An didn’t know how she got home. She felt groggy and quickly lost consciousness.

After a night of emergency treatment, Huo Xiaoran slowly opened his eyes the next day. “An’an.” He had just regained consciousness and was already thinking about Qiao An’s safety.

A hoarse voice with a hint of anger sounded. “Senior, you’re still thinking about Qiao An at a time like this? Do you know that you almost didn’t wake up?”

Huo Xiaoran saw Lu Mo lying on the bed and looking at him in a daze.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and there was a bruise under her eyelids. She looked like she hadn’t slept all night.

Huo Xiaoran said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Momo. I made you worry.”

Lu Mo said, “It’s good that you’re awake.”

Huo Xiaoran was still thinking about Qiao An. “Momo, is Qiao An alright?”

Lu Mo said angrily, “She’s doing very well. When we rushed to the scene yesterday, she left decisively without asking about your injuries.”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes dimmed.

He knew that Qiao An hated him, but he didn’t know that she hated him so much. How could she ignore his life and death?

Qiao An’s heartless indifference to him refreshed Huo Xiaoran’s expectations.

“Is she all right?” He was still anxious for her safety, but his voice had gone distinctly cold.

“She’s fine. She was all in one piece when we left yesterday.”

Huo Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief. Then he began to have a fever again and fell into a deep coma again.

Lu Mo was very depressed. Huo Xiaoran’s purpose for waking up was probably to confirm Qiao An’s safety. After knowing that Qiao An was out of danger, he could rest assured and fall sick.

He had a fever for seven days before it completely subsided on the eighth day. However, after waking up, Huo Xiaoran became a little taciturn and depressed.

Huo Zhou would spend a lot of time with him every day. Today, seeing that Huo Xiaoran was rarely awake, he started chatting with him.

“Xiaoran, did you know that the criminal’s dagger was stuck in your left chest and almost pierced your heart? You were really lucky to survive.”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were dull, as if he was not surprised by this new lease on life.

“Better to be dead,” he even lamented lifelessly.

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded. “Xiaoran, what nonsense are you talking about? When the doctor saved you, he said that you didn’t have a strong desire to live. I thought that it was because he wasn’t skilled enough, so I found many excuses. So he was really right?”

Huo Xiaoran turned to look at Huo Xiaoran and asked him, “Has Qiao An come to see me these past few days?”

Only then did Huo Zhou understand that Huo Xiaoran was angry with Qiao An.

“I always take the time to come over during the day. I might have missed Qiao An,” Huo Zhou said.

Huo Xiaoran looked worried.

“She really hates me.”

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded. He comforted him, “Xiaoran, you still have Lu Mo. You don’t know that Lu Mo has been dragging her sick body to protect you every day. I see that her dark circles are quite heavy and her health is not good. To be honest, she’s really good to you.”

Huo Xiaoran did not speak.

Huo Zhou continued, “Xiaoran, you have to look at things from the perspective of development. It’s true that Qiao An loved you in the past, but she doesn’t love you anymore. You saved her life and repaid her kindness for raising you back then. You don’t owe her anything in the future.”

Huo Xiaoran heaved a long sigh of relief. “I understand.”

Huo Xiaoran suddenly came to a realization. It was at that moment that he decided to completely forget Qiao An and live well with Lu Mo in the future.

Little did he know that these days, Qiao An also lived in an abyss of pain.

After days of recurring fevers and weakness, she’d finally taken her illness seriously. She’d dragged herself to the hospital near Huaman City and had a full body examination. The doctor had told her there was hemorrhaging in her abdominal organs.

She had been infected because she had not been treated in time.

Then she lay in the hospital for many days. After she recovered a little, she found out that Huo Xiaoran had been discharged safely. After all, he was a man. He’d recovered faster than she had, despite his injuries.

After knowing that Huo Xiaoran was safe and sound, Qiao An’s heart completely relaxed.

Then, she spent a lot of time repeatedly pondering the question she treasured. “Why did Huo Xiaoran take the blow for her?”

Was it a ruse to gain sympathy?

However, she carefully recalled the details of that day. She had chosen the address of the hotel, and Huo Xiaoran had only come in response to the call. He did not have time to deploy this murder case in advance.

Moreover, when the thugs attacked her, if Huo Xiaoran hadn’t dashed over in time, she would have definitely died. She could tell that Huo Xiaoran was very anxious to save her. He was really afraid that she would be injured.

If Huo Xiaoran was sincere about saving her, then he couldn’t have instigated the car accident three years ago.

Qiao An suddenly thought of something, and her face turned pale.

Could she have misunderstood Huo Xiaoran?

Could the driver of the accident have played a trick on her?

At the thought of this possibility, Qiao An’s heart surged with joy. It was as if bamboo shoots had emerged after a spring rain and grown into fruits of hope that she could look forward to.

Qiao An was filled with anticipation for the future.

She made up her mind that after she was discharged, she would find out the truth about the car accident three years ago.

A few days later, Qiao An was discharged.

The doctor instructed Qiao An, “Miss Qiao, you’re not seriously ill, but there seem to be many small problems. You must recuperate well.”

Qiao An answered obediently. “Yes, Doctor.”

However, after getting the discharge certificate, she completely let herself go.

The first thing she did when she was discharged was to edit a long paragraph of gratitude for Huo Xiaoran, but Huo Xiaoran did not reply to her message.

This disappointed Qiao An.

It wasn’t until late at night that Qiao An’s phone message rang.

Qiao An picked up her phone and saw that it was from Huo Xiaoran.
