Chapter 158 - 158 Blessed

158 Blessed

A tear ran down Qiao Yue’s face. She had forgotten these things. Looking at her mother’s beautiful face, Qiao Yue mouth the word “mom”. Coincidentally, her mother turned her head to face her…

When Qiao Yue opened her eyes again, she was in a hospital. Her gaze moved from the snow-white ceiling to the side of her bed. Zhou Lan was sound asleep by her bed.

Massaging her forehead, Qiao Yue try to remember everything that had happened. Wasn’t she in the woods? Why was she in a hospital now? Did someone save her?

Feeling Qiao Yue’s movements, Zhou Lan fuzzily opened her eyes. Seeing that Qiao Yue was awake, Zhou Lan was stunned for a moment before surprise filled her eyes.

“You’re awake!”

Qiao Yue touched her aching ribs and asked, “How did I end up in a hospital?”

“I’m also not sure,” Zhou Lan replied with a confused expression.

“What do you mean?” Qiao Yue asked with a frown.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Lan recounted how she picked up Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue’s brows furrowed even more. “You are saying that an unknown number called you and asked you to pick me up from the hotel?”

“Yes! When I got there, your injuries had already been treated. I was worried, so I brought you to the hospital for re-examination.”

Zhou Lan then started to scold Qiao Yue, chiding her for putting herself in danger when she hadn’t even fully recover from her previous injuries.

Qiao Yue didn’t dare to make a sound.

Suddenly, the figure Qiao Yue saw before she fainted appeared in her mind. She shook her head. She must have been seeing things. How could she have seen Qiao Jing in the woods?

Because of Qiao Yue’s repeated injuries, she had no choice but to be hospitalized again. To the outside world, she had accidentally fallen when she was out at night. Among the many visitors, Qiao Jing’s gaze made Qiao Yue particularly uneasy.

Speaking of her visitors, Stone had to be mentioned. When Chu Jia, Stone and the rest sneaked into the hospital to see her, Stone, a man over 1.8 meters tall, stared at her with red eyes.

Qiao Yue was also helpless. She cleared her throat and explained, “I’m fine. I’m hospitalized because I aggravated my previous injuries.”

Qiao Yue’s words were like the opening of floodgates for Stone. His voice was a little choked as he said, “Boss, how could you put yourself at risk like that? There was so much blood at the scene, we thought that…”

Stone stopped halfway through his sentence. Chu Jia stood silently by the side, looking at Qiao Yue with accusing eyes. Of course, there were also other people in the room with them.

With so many pairs of eyes staring at her, Qiao Yue couldn’t help but feel guilty.

“I’m sorry! It was an emergency. I was afraid that Trand would escape, so I had to.”

Chu Jia’s gaze sharpened as she asked, “Boss, then did you catch him?”

Qiao Yue’s face froze. Chu Jia really knew how to poke at her sore spot. But the risk-taking did have some effect, didn’t it? If it wasn’t for her, how could the police have caught up so quickly?

Seeing Qiao Yue being lectured mercilessly, Zhou Lan tried to smooth things over, “Alright now, stop the lecturing! She’s still the boss. Let’s give her some face.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qiao Yue was still fine if Zhou Lan hadn’t opened her mouth. After she said that, Qiao Yue wished that she could crawl into a hole and die.

Although Qiao Yue had been embarrassed, Zhou Lan’s attempt to ease the atmosphere worked. Everyone’s expressions got more pleasant, and there was no more talk about the incident.

“Boss, now that Trand has been arrested by the police, should we break him out or just leave him be?” Chu Jia asked.

Qiao Yue had already seen the news about Trand’s arrest; she had also vacillated about what to do.

After two encounters, Qiao Yue was also very tired of Trand. If not for the fact that Trand knew about her mother, Qiao Yue wanted to have nothing to do with this man.

“Boss?” Chu Jia called out in a strange tone when she saw Qiao Yue in a daze.

Qiao Yue snapped out of her daze. “Leave things be for now. Let’s see if he can escape this time.”

Qiao Yue’s words were sinister, making some of her team members look at each other.

“By the way, boss, do you have any impression of the person who saved you?” Chu Jia asked.

Qiao Yue shook her head. Although she seemed to have seen Qiao Jing, it was probably just an illusion.

Chu Jia sighed. “Boss, it’s a good thing you met a good Samaritan. With the amount of blood you lost, you might not have been able to with until we arrived.”

Qiao Yue chuckled. She was very blessed indeed.
