Chapter 245 - 151. By then, your vast fortune will become mine at a bargain.
Liu An thought Nan Wan was delirious from the fever, kindly reminding her, "Madam, tomorrow is Saturday."Upon hearing this, Nan Wan looked at Mu Jin Huan in shock and mumbled, "I... I slept for two days?"
She hadn’t reached the point where she couldn’t remember the days. The night they went to Zijin Mountain to watch the meteors was Wednesday, so she drowned in the early hours of Thursday. She thought she’d only been in a coma for a day...
So, he hadn’t closed his eyes for two nights.
Mu Jin Huan’s hand paused, and his indifferent gaze swept over Liu An, who immediately realized he had spoken too much and silently turned to the side.
Looking at the night outside the window, he felt wronged...
Mu Jin Huan’s handsome face remained calm, his voice low and gentle, "It’s fine, you didn’t sleep for three days."
Nan Wan only felt waves of warmth rising in her heart. Her body temperature was high, and the heating was still on in the ward. Yet, she could clearly feel that warmth melting into her blood, flowing through every part of her body, and finally returning to her heart.
"I can eat by myself, you should go home and rest, come back tomorrow."
Mu Jin Huan’s expression remained calm, and the fatigue in his eyes wasn’t so evident then. He scooped a spoonful of porridge to her lips, "Eat first."
Nan Wan looked at the gentle, handsome face of the man and unconsciously opened her mouth to eat the porridge he fed her.
Liu An felt a little redundant, very redundant, like he was several degrees brighter than the light on the ceiling.
He waited until the weak Mrs. Mu drank half a bowl of porridge and said she didn’t want anymore. Then he dared to turn around, looking at the floor, tentatively asking, "President Mu, if you have no other instructions, may I leave?"
Mu Jin Huan placed the lunchbox on the table, took a tissue, and gently wiped the corner of Nan Wan’s mouth, saying lightly, "Wait for me outside."
Liu An seemed to know what it was, respectfully replying, "Okay."
After speaking, he turned and left the ward. This time, he didn’t take anything with him, and when closing the door, he made almost no sound.
Liu An waited in the corridor for about five minutes before Mu Jin Huan emerged from the ward, and Liu An followed him to the end of the corridor.
Mu Jin Huan lit a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and asked, "What happened?"
Liu An didn’t think much before answering, "It’s like this, President Mu. I found nearly twenty housekeepers, but Miss Yu wasn’t satisfied with any of them. She said she doesn’t like strangers and mentioned that her leg has almost recovered and she can take care of herself."
Mu Jin Huan was hidden in the shadows, the bluish-white smoke swirling around him, blurring his sharply defined features.
His dark eyes were half-closed, harboring an emotion that others couldn’t understand, buried deep within. His voice was calm, "Has she been alone these past few days?"
"Yes, after I deliver the next day’s meals to Miss Yu’s house every evening, she hasn’t called or made any other requests. Her speech and actions are normal, except she seems to have lost a lot of weight."
After Liu An finished speaking, there was a long silence.
Mu Jin Huan extinguished his cigarette and lit another. Throughout this, the expression on his handsome face didn’t change a bit, "What happened last night?"
Liu An cleared his dry throat and continued, "When I delivered items to Miss Yu’s house last night, I found her fainted in the living room and called you. But don’t worry, President Mu, the doctor has already gone to the villa and said it’s due to malnutrition, no other serious issues."
The bluish-white smoke swirled around, and the smell of tobacco gradually intensified. Mu Jin Huan seemed to think of something and extinguished the half-burnt cigarette in his hand.
His eyes were as calm as his voice, "Visit her more each day, make sure she eats before leaving, just say it’s on my orders."
Liu An responded respectfully, "Okay."
...
When the man came in, one of Nan Wan’s feet had just touched the ground, while the other leg was still on the bed. Upon hearing the door open, she instinctively looked over.
The loose, ill-fitting hospital gown made her body appear even thinner. Her long hair was slightly messy, with a few strands falling over her nose, and her confused eyes held a kind of sleepy haze.
Mu Jin Huan frowned, walked briskly towards the bed, and tucked her back into the bedding, asking, "Thirsty?"
Though ’tucked’ might not be quite the right word, for Mr. Mu’s actions were indeed gentle.
Though burning with fever, Nan Wan’s taste was dulled, but her sense of smell remained. The distance between them was close, and she could smell the tobacco on him.
It was there before he went out, but now it was noticeably stronger.
Nan Wan didn’t ask much, merely smiled softly and said, "No, I just wanted to go to the bathroom."
