Chapter 109 - Second Treatment

Not wanting to look at the people of the Fang family any longer, Chen Man immediately asked them to leave.

Seeing Chen Man’s expression, the Fang family did not want to anger her because of this. After nodding slightly, Matriarch Fang left the ward with Qin Ya and Fang Ran.

After the Fang family left, Chen Man sat down on Huo Xuan’s hospital bed angrily. She snorted and said, “I knew that these people definitely had ill intentions when they came. As expected, it really is the case. They want to arrange for Fang Ran to enter the Huo family? As long as I’m here, this is impossible!”

Huo Xuan had been lying on the bed since just now. On the one hand, he didn’t want to move too much to prevent his wound from rupturing, and on the other hand, he had a lot of trust that Chen Man would be able to handle such a small matter.

Huo Xuan looked up and met Chen Man’s eyes. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mom. With me around, it’s impossible too.”

Although Huo Xuan had promised her so sincerely, Chen Man was still a little worried. She pulled her son’s hand and told him sincerely, “Xuan, I’ve been observing Xiao Zhu for a long time. She’s good-looking and has a good personality. Besides, she has saved you a few times. You can’t be ungrateful and abandon her after she has saved you!”

Huo Xuan understood Chen Man’s worry. He calmly shook the woman’s hand and said with a firm expression, “Don’t worry, Mom. I won’t let Mo Zhu down.”

When Mo Zhu returned to the ward again, the headlines of Cloud City’s news were publishing the news of the Du family’s tragic overnight bankruptcy. In an instant, there were all sorts of opinions on it, but no one dared to probe into any information related to this matter.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She called Meng Ran and asked her to apply for a few days off from the form teacher. Mo Zhu wanted to stay in the ward and focus on taking care of Huo Xuan and her grandmother for the next few days.

She packed a few light dishes from a small restaurant outside and bought a few servings of porridge. Then, Mo Zhu pushed open the door of the ward with the thermos box.

Just as she walked into the ward, the girl saw Chen Man sitting by Huo Xuan’s bed. She asked in surprise, “Auntie, why are you here?”

“Xiao Zhu, I heard that Xuan’er was injured and came to take a look. It’s all thanks to you this time. I don’t know how to thank you.” When Chen Man saw that Mo Zhu had returned, she immediately took the big and small bags from the girl’s hands happily.

Mo Zhu was stunned for a moment before she replied with a smile, “Auntie, you’re too polite. You’re making me feel a little embarrassed.”

“It’s okay, it’s already time to eat. I won’t delay your lunch.” After saying this, Chen Man stood up and tidied her clothes.

Seeing that Chen Man was about to leave, Mo Zhu immediately wanted to invite Chen Man to stay behind for dinner. Coincidentally, because she wasn’t sure about Huo Xuan’s taste, she had bought a lot today. Even if there were two strong men, not to mention Chen Man, a woman, there would still be enough food for them.

However, before Mo Zhu could speak, Chen Man had already finished her sentence. “Xiao Zhu, I’m rest assured with you taking care of Xuan’er. Coincidentally, I have something to complete in the capital these two days and I need to go there personally. This matter can’t be delayed. Look…”

Understanding the meaning in Chen Man’s words, Mo Zhu took the initiative to answer, “Auntie, go ahead and busy yourself. I will definitely report to you if anything happens to Huo Xuan. If you have anything you’re worried about, you can call me anytime!”

After receiving Mo Zhu’s guarantee, Chen Man was even happier. The smile on her face couldn’t be stopped. “Good child, good child. Hearing this from you is enough for me. There’s no time to lose. I will set off to return to Beijing now. I’ll leave Xuan’er in your hands.”

Just as she finished speaking, Chen Man didn’t delay any longer. After giving Huo Xuan a meaningful look, Chen Man walked out of the ward under Mo Zhu’s gaze.

Originally, Mo Zhu wanted to send Chen Man downstairs personally. However, Chen Man rejected her with all sorts of reasons, so she could only send her future mother-in-law out of the ward.

After Chen Man left, Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu had a simple lunch together.

Mo Zhu looked at the time and came to Huo Xuan’s side to carefully observe his wound. Then, she reached out and took the man’s pulse. Not long after, she nodded slightly and took out a set of silver needles from her shirt pocket.

“Although your injuries have stabilized, due to the poison on the concealed weapon repelling the original poison in your body, we can only let them fuse slowly for the time being. We can only detoxify the illness after the two have combined into one.”

Huo Xuan knew that the concealed weapon was poisoned. Although he was unconscious last night and his consciousness was hazy, he could feel two forces in his body. One was hot, and the other was cold.

“What should I do now?” Huo Xuan raised his eyebrows as he looked at Mo Zhu.

“You don’t have to do anything. Just take off your clothes and lie down on the bed properly.”

Last night, in order to facilitate the acupuncture treatment, Mo Zhu had taken off all of Huo Xuan’s clothes. This morning, when she left, a nurse thoughtfully sent over a hospital gown. Xu Huan was afraid of troubling Mo Zhu, so he immediately put it on for Huo Xuan.

Fortunately, the patient’s gown was convenient to wear and remove. Even though Huo Xuan could only move one shoulder, it didn’t take him more than a few minutes to strip himself clean.
