nShen Liangchuan waited in the hospital ward for almost two hours before walking out of it.

nSong Cheng was already waiting outside and said, “I have dealt with all of the signatures and paperwork. You do not have to worry about that anymore.”

nHe looked inside the ward via the glass window set in the door. “You were in such a hurry to come back that I thought something big had happened. If I had known that something like this had happened, I would have just settled it with a phone call. You have so many assistants, after all! You-”

nShen Liangchuan instantly cut him off saying, “Which office is the chief doctor’s?”

nSong Cheng began to speak but then hesitated, opting instead to sigh deeply. “I will bring you over to him.”

nWhen they entered the doctor’s office, Song Cheng asked him about Qiao Lian’s condition.

nThe chief doctor looked questioningly at the man wearing sunglasses and a gauze mask that was currently standing in front of him. He then said incessantly, “Are you her lover? How do you take care of a sick person? She had a severe cold and a 40oC fever, and yet nobody was looking after her? Furthermore, she had not eaten for two continuous days. Were you planning to starve her to death? If the patient had not run away by herself and spotted by a helpful passerby who then called for the ambulance, were you intending for her to die from sickness?”

nHis continuous interrogation caused Shen Liangchuan to widen his eyes.

nHe stood up with a whoosh and stared at the chief doctor unbelievingly. “What did you say?”

nThe chief doctor was momentarily stunned the moment he heard his voice. He stared blankly at Shen Liangchuan saying, “Why do I find your voice so familiar?”

nOf course it was familiar!

nThe movie that Shen Liangchuan had filmed last year was currently being shown in cinemas everywhere. He had been a popular personality for the past two months.

nSong Cheng quietly chastised him from the side. He then coughed and said, “Doctor, in that case, has Ms. Qiao been sick for two days?”

nThe doctor’s attention was diverted and said, “Yes. According to my calculations, she must have been drenched by the thunderstorm that happened two days ago.”

nSong Cheng felt slightly puzzled and asked, “But if Ms. Qiao was sick, why did nobody present in the house place a call? She even had to run out in order to be discovered by somebody. Where were the servants in the house?”

nWhere were the servants in the house?

nShen Liangchuan wanted to know as well!

nThere was currently a fire raging within his heart that could not be quenched.

nTwo days ago…

nThis meant that she began to suffer from the high fever after he had forced himself on her. It had been two days since then, so how had she tortured herself into this state?”

nShen Liangchuan stood up with a whoosh and returned to the hospital ward. He then sat in front of her bed and quietly gazed at her.

nQiao Lian’s fever was quickly receding. The moment he noticed that she was about to awaken, he suddenly felt slightly panicky and did not know how he should face her.

nShen Liangchuan told Song Cheng to stay and look after her. Then, he drove back home by himself.

nAfter cutting off the car’s engine, he opened the villa’s front door and walked inside.

nSeveral people were still chatting in the living room. He walked so lightly that nobody noticed his presence. He had originally planned to go upstairs, but their conversation started drilling into his ear, causing him to momentarily stop walking.

n“Sister Zhang, Ms. Qiao is missing. Should we tell Sir about this matter?”

nZhang Hong humphed coldly, “What are you saying? She must clearly be in the hospital now! Just wait and see. Once her fever subsides and her illness is treated, she will come back here, crestfallen.”

n“But Sister Zhang, will she get even with us?”

nZhang Hong retorted, “Get even? How would she even do that? What manner of living thing is she that she can force me to pour water for her? On what grounds does she have to force me to cook for her! The water is in her room, so whether she drinks or not is up to her! We have already prepared a meal for her. What, does she still need me to bring the food to her mouth?”
