When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 838: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here! (8)

Sheng Jiayu woke up again early the next day. The weather outside was terrible; for some reason, it had changed from bright sunshine yesterday to continuous rain today.

Sheng Jiayu finally opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the man’s dark short hair. Mu Ke was still wearing his white coat and was leaning on her bedside.

Sheng Jiayu moved slightly, and Mu Ke woke up immediately.

When their eyes met, it was as if an eternity had passed.

Mu Ke looked unwell, but Sheng Jiayu suddenly smiled. It was wonderful to open her eyes and see him again.

"Does it hurt? Right?"

Mu Ke sat up straight, leaned slightly forward, and stared intensely at Sheng Jiayu, but said nothing.

Sheng Jiayu moved her lips; her whole body hurt terribly, but the moment she opened her eyes and saw Mu Ke, all feelings vanished.

Yesterday’s experience wasn’t extremely dangerous, but it was something she had never gone through before. She was scared; she didn’t feel it at the time, but now looking at Mu Ke, Sheng Jiayu realized her greatest fear was never seeing him again.

If something really happened to her, what would someone like Mu Ke, who cared so much about her, do?

They stayed silent for a while before Mu Ke decisively called a nurse and personally checked Sheng Jiayu’s wound.

Outside, Tang Yanqi walked to the door with a thermos, saw people busy inside, and didn’t disturb them, choosing instead to sit on the bench nearby.

After a short while, a middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to Sheng Jiayu arrived.

Tang Yanqi recognized the woman as Sheng Jiayu’s mother.

Sheng Jiayu hadn’t informed Xu Qingru about her injury; it was only this morning when Tang Yanqi was confirmed to be okay that Mu Ke made the call.

So after hanging up, Xu Qingru hurried over anxiously.

Seeing Tang Yanqi, Xu Qingru paused slightly. Tang Yanqi greeted her confidently: "Aunt."

Xu Qingru forced a smile: "Where’s Jiayu?"

"Over here."

The examination inside had already finished; the young nurse had left, leaving Mu Ke to accompany Sheng Jiayu.

Xu Qingru walked briskly inside, and upon seeing Sheng Jiayu lying on the hospital bed, her face pale, her eyes immediately reddened.

Sheng Jiayu moved her lips: "Mom..."

Xu Qingru, with red eyes, approached the bed: "You silly girl, how could you hide something like this from me?"

Sheng Jiayu forced a smile: "Mom, I’m okay now."

Mu Ke stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Qingru: "Aunt, I’m sorry, I was negligent."

Xu Qingru wouldn’t blame him. She already knew what happened on the way here, and she comforted Mu Ke to sit down: "You can’t be blamed, Little Mu, don’t be hard on yourself."

Tang Yanqi wisely placed the thermos by the bedside, greeted Mu Ke and Sheng Jiayu, and left, realizing that those inside were the people closest to Sheng Jiayu.

Tang Yanqi exited and was near the elevator when she heard the ’ding’ as it opened; four people emerged.

One of the young men looked familiar, but before Tang Yanqi could recognize him, he spoke first: "Mrs. Sheng?"

Tang Yanqi paused, and then she remembered who was speaking, offering a faint smile: "Mr. Su."

Su Chen knew Tang Yanqi’s identity and naturally could guess why she was here, introducing everyone: "This is Mu Ke’s parents and his sister."
