In the quiet ward, the intravenous drip was flowing down drop by drop. Chu Ningyi could almost count the number of drops.

The little darling lay sobbing on the bed as his tiny hand clutched his mommy’s clothes. It was clear that he had been shocked.

The doctor adjusted the speed of the intravenuous infusion and looked at the despondent Chu Ningyi. He shook his head helplessly. In the ten years that he had known Chu Ningyi, this was the first time he had ever seen Chu Ningyi like this.

“Your wife will be fine, it’s just a mild cerebral concussion. It looks severe but it’s not that bad,” said the doctor.

Chu Ningyi returned to his senses and nodded at the doctor. However, just as the doctor was about to leave, he called him back. “In a while, if anyone asks, tell them that her injuries are severe and that we don’t know when she’ll wake up.”

“Mm?” The doctor was confused. “Why?”

“Follow my instructions, some discretion is needed.” Chu Ningyi’s voice was as calm as ever.

The doctor nodded, knowing that he was planning to trap someone now. “Anyone? I just saw Third An.”

“He won’t ask you.” Chu Ningyi looked up and stared at the doctor.

The doctor shrugged and nodded. “Alright, both of you are used to colluding in wicked deeds anyway. I’m heading out now.”

Chu Ningyi nodded and covered Shui Anluo with a blanket. His eyes stared a little gloomily at her. This rascal, he would deal with her when she got better. The important thing now was to use this incident to get rid of the security risk, Lan Xin.

The little darling turned back and stared at his daddy with teary eyes. His little mouth wobbled. This had scared him to death.

Chu Ningyi patted the little darling’s body, soothing him from his shock.

A message notification rang from the phone on the table. Chu Ningyi picked it up and saw the message. He smirked.

It’s done. As for whether she suffered an attack or not, I don’t know.

Chu Ningyi held the phone in his hand and smirked. Mo Lusu underestimates his power of influence. As long as it had come from him, Lan Xin would feel attacked. The plan would continue.

Chu Ningyi put the phone down and stroked the back of Shui Anluo’s head. This was not how he had initially planned it to be but it was obvious that Shui Anluo’s current injured state would be more convenient to catch Lan Xin.

Because it would be easier for Lan Xin to make her move this way.

“Shui Anluo, when will you just foolishly let me protect you?” Chu Ningyi said, feeling helpless.

“Next time, definitely next time.” Shui Anluo’s trembling voice suddenly rang out. She has a splitting pain in her head.

Chu Ningyi held her shoulders down as she tried to get up. “What?”

“It hurts.”

“Serves you right,” Chu Ningyi said icily but he still cautiously adjusted the drip speed for the pain medicine.

“It doesn’t feel good to lie down.” Shui Anluo’s face was pressed against the disinfectant-scented pillow as she spoke in a muffled voice.

Chu Ningyi saw that she still has the mood to voice out whether she felt comfortable or not and knew that the doctor was right. Her injury had only looked severe.

“Didn’t you find it uncomfortable when you had fallen?” Chu Ningyi’s voice was chilly.

“It’s not like I had fallen on purpose. Do you think that I’m Yuan Jiayi? She’d destroy herself and ask for pity, having nothing better to do? She had tripped me. I’m not you either who can shrink yourself away. It’s already pretty good that I was able to drag her down with me.” Shui Anluo scoffed and gasped. It really hurts.

However, when she thought about the person that she had pulled down with her, Shui Anluo began to think and speak with anticipation, “How is she, are her injuries worse than mine?”
