During MO Xiuchen’s business trip, Wen Ran had a nightmare once again.
She saw the little boy who had not appeared in her dreams for quite so ti. His face was still unclear, but unlike previous tis, her dream was no longer chaotic. It had a chronological sequence.
In her dream, she urged the boy to run. His frail figure trembled in the cold wind. The boy ran out of her sight, and then she was grabbed by several n.
The scene shifted, and she was held down on a cold experint table. Soone was holding a syringe and aiming for her, mumbling sothing she couldn’t hear. The person’s smile was as frightening as a devil’s.
She scread and begged for rcy, but it was all in vain.
She watched in horror as the needle pierced her skin, and she bolted upright, wide awake.
Getting out from the bed, she poured a glass of water and drank it. It was only just two in the morning.
Looking at the spacious and soft bed, Wen Ran was suddenly filled with longing. Every night these past few days, she had fallen asleep in MO Xiuchen’s arms. When she woke up in the morning, even if he wasn’t next to her, his scent lingered.
She chuckled at herself. MO Xiuchen had only been away on business for a few days, and she was rather unaccustod to sleeping alone on this big bed. At this late hour, she missed him so much.
Getting back into bed, she found her sleepiness dispelled by her longing, and she unconsciously drafted a ssage on her phone and sent it.
When the ssage was successfully sent, she abruptly woke up from her stupor, frowning in annoyance. She put down her phone and lied back down.
However, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up imdiately and with the surge of emotions in her heart, she softly called his na once she saw the incoming call, “Xiuchen.”
“Ranran, why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Despite the long distance, the soothing and low voice of MO Xiuchen traveled to her ears. From his tone, he didn’t seem to have just woken up, but he didn’t appear to have fallen asleep either.
It should be peace and quiet at two in the morning there, too.
But on the other end of the line, besides his voice, she heard other noises, unclear words spoken by different voices.
“I just woke up from a dream. And you, haven’t you slept yet? It sounds pretty noisy… Are you at the hospital?”
As Wen Ran spoke, her voice color with worry unconsciously. It was late at night, why would he be at the hospital? “MO Xiuchen, did sothing happen?” On the other end of the line, MO Xiuchen’s heart ward upon hearinq her
concerned voice. His voice softened even further. “Ranran, don’t worry, it’s just a minor issue.”
“How can it be minor? I can hear a lot of noise. MO Xiuchen, what happened?
Tell .”
No wonder he hadn’t called when she thought he would.
So, sothing had happened. But what could it be? He was in City C for a business eting that didn’t seem to warrant this problem. The phone call he made talked about so delay.
Only last night did he tell her about an accident at the factory, where an employee died as a result of a machine malfunction…
Could it be the deceased’s relatives?
In just a fleeting mont, Wen Ran had various guesses. As MO Xiuchen was hesitant to tell her the details, only stating “it’s nothing” to brush her off, she threatened him, “If you won’t tell , I’ll go there right now. I’ll go to the hospital to find you myself.”
“Ranran.”
The voice that echoed in her ears contained so helplessness. Clearly, MO Xiuchen was at a loss with her.
He had assud that if he didn’t ntion anything, she wouldn’t know about his accident. Unexpectedly, she had found out that he was in the hospital because of the patient next door who happened to need ergency treatnt.
“Xiuchen, were you injured by the deceased’s wife? Tell the truth, is it serious?”
Thinking that he might have been injured and hospitalized made her heart ache as if it were being tightly clamped by an invisible hand.
“Hmm, I got a bit hurt, but it’s not serious, really. I guarantee I’ll be back in a few days. You don’t need to worry and don’t be sad.” “If sothing happened to , would you not worry?
Wen Ran suddenly felt her eyes well up.
Knowing MO Xiuchen, he would never go to the hospital for a minor injury. If this man was willing to stay in the hospital, this matter must be quite serious.
He was unwilling to tell her, so how could she not worry?
MO Xiuchen fell silent for a mont upon hearing her question. Finally, a minute later, he revealed the truth, “Ranran, it was an accident. I was stabbed by the deceased’s wife. But the dagger she used wasn’t long, the cut isn’t very deep. I was only hospitalized because I bled quite a bit.”
A scene flashed before Wen Ran’s eyes: MO Xiuchen being stabbed. Unable to control herself, she burst into tears.
She bit her lower lip hard, trying not to let herself break down in tears.
He had been stabbed by the deceased’s wife with a dagger and had even lost a significant amount of blood. It must have been very painful.
“Ranran, are you crying?
When he heard nothing, MO Xiuchen tensed up, his voice softening even more.
Wen Ran wiped away the tears and spoke softly, “I’m not. When did this happen?
“Tonight. The whole issue was technically already resolved. I just let my guard down. Ranran, don’t cry.”
Wen Ran denied that she was crying, but MO Xiuchen could tell the before and after of her voice was different. The heavily nasal voice was hard to hide her concern for him. “I’m not crying. You rest well. I’m going to sleep.”
“Alright, good night.”
Two minutes later, the call went through. Wen Ran asked before the other person could even speak, “Qin Mu, which hospital is Xiuchen staying at?”
“What hospital?”
Qin Mu’s voice was filled with sleepiness as he was woken up by her call.
“Don’t play dumb with . Xiuchen got stabbed by the deceased’s wife last night. I don’t believe you didn’t know. If you won’t tell , I’ll go there myself. And in the dead of night, Xiuchen must be worried about going alone.”
Qin Mu frowned. It seed that Wen Ran was as domineering and uncompromising as MO Xiuchen.
Finding out that MO Xiuchen had an accident last night, he and Luo Haofeng originally wanted to rush there imdiately. However, Xiuchen stopped them, saying it would raise Wen Ran’s suspicions if they both left G City.
And he didn’t want Wen Ran to know about his injury.
So how did Wen Ran find out?
“So, are you going to tell ?”
Wen Ran was losing her patience, or more accurately, she was too anxious. She wished she could fly to MO Xiuchen’s side and couldn’t wait for Qin Mu to make up his mind.
“Even if you’re going, you should wait until tomorrow morning. It’s middle of the night now… ”
“I know there’s a flight to City C at three. If you don’t want to go, just tell the address, I’ll go myself.”
Wen Ran’s tone was firm; even if there were no flights, she would drive over night.
Every ti she needed him, he would be by her side imdiately. Now that he was hurt and lying in the hospital alone, how could she ignore him?
