Helian Zhen was about to speak. “There’s something obvious on her arm…”

Suddenly, someone tugged at the corner of his shirt and his voice stopped.

He looked down and realized that it was Mu Wan’s hand.

Gu Tingyuan was completely focused on Helian Zhen. He wanted to know why Mu Wan’s face was pale, so he did not notice Mu Wan secretly tugging at Helian Zhen’s clothes.

“Mu Wan?”

As he shifted his attention, Gu Tingyuan also looked at the hospital bed and realized that Mu Wan had opened her eyes groggily.

The moment she woke up, he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, that face was still cold and emotionless as he looked at Mu Wan.

“Mu Wan, are you awake?” It was Helian Zhen who spoke.

He did not know why Mu Wan tugged on the corner of his shirt, but he was sure that she did not want him to tell Gu Tingyuan about the needle marks on her arm.

But why?

Mu Wan opened her eyes and looked at Helian Zhen. She was glad that she had woken up just as he was about to speak.

Otherwise, once Gu Tingyuan found out that there was a needle hole in her arm, he would definitely get to the bottom of it. This way, the matter of his mother’s blood transfusion would be exposed.

With Gu Jingkun’s personality, he would definitely think that she was the one who told Gu Tingyuan. By then, who knew what Mu Chen would experience in prison again.

She had nothing left. She could not let anything happen to her brother.

“Why are you here? Didn’t you say you were going to see your brother?”

As he stared at the person who had woken up, the worry in Gu Tingyuan’s eyes had disappeared and was replaced by his usual cold tone.

Mu Wan knew that now that he had found out, she would not be able to lie anymore.

“I was suddenly hit by a car on the way to visit my brother, and…” She guiltily made up an excuse, but was afraid that Gu Tingyuan would see through her.

She must have fainted in the lobby on the first floor and was discovered by him when he was about to enter the elevator.

“I came to the hospital for a checkup.”

This was the only way to eliminate his suspicions.

Helian Zhen stood at the side. As a doctor, he naturally noticed that Mu Wan was lying.

However, what he could not figure out was why Mu Wan would lie with her eyes wide open. Was there something she could not let Ting know?

As he listened to Mu Wan’s explanation, Gu Tingyuan’s frown deepened.

Had she been scratched by a car?

He looked up at Helian Zhen. “Are you sure she’s not injured?”

Helian Zhen was stunned and was momentarily speechless.

Mu Wan’s lie was simply questioning his medical skills!

He had already told Ting that there were no wounds on her body and that there was nothing wrong with her body!

When he met Mu Wan’s gaze, Helian Zhen paused for a few seconds. Then, he looked at Gu Tingyuan and said, “Uh, she’s not badly injured. I just saw that her arm was a little bruised. I’ll just apply some medicine for

her.”

Gu Tingyuan’s expression remained dark.

She was so pale, it was impossible for her to be completely fine or injured.

“Then why did she faint? Why is her face so pale?”

Helian Zhen paused. How was he supposed to answer? How? Huh?

“Well…”

“Are you concerned about me?” On the bed, Mu Wan suddenly asked.

Her words made Gu Tingyuan and Helian Zhen turn their gazes at the same time and stare at her in shock.

Gu Tingyuan’s face darkened.

It was obvious that he did not want to care about Mu Wan, but he could not help but ask about her health. Subconsciously, he cared about everything about her..
