Lu Mo continued, “But it’s okay. Xiaoran and I are about to register our marriage. On the day we register our marriage, I’ll hold a grand celebration and invite you to attend. Don’t miss it this time.”

Qiao An’s beautiful eyes curled into an imperceptible mockery. She was mocking Lu Mo and herself.

How stupid was she in the past to not see through Lu Mo’s clumsy performance?

Seeing that Qiao An’s expression was cold, Lu Mo became bored and left.

When she reached the door, Qiao An suddenly stopped her.

“Lu Mo.”

This time, she didn’t call her Doctor Lu respectfully like before. Calling her by her name made Lu Mo feel a chill.

She turned her head in shock, only to see Qiao An’s pink lips part. “What’s stolen should be returned to its rightful owner,” she said casually.

Lu Mo was confused. “What do you mean?”

Qiao An waved at her. “I’m tired.”

Lu Mo left angrily.

Just as she opened the door of the ward, she saw Huo Xiaoran carrying a few food boxes with different flavors.

A hint of panic flashed across Lu Mo’s eyes. A beauty like Qiao An had a different charm when she was sick. She was really worried that Huo Xiaoran would rekindle their relationship after interacting with her for a long time.

Steadying herself, she went up to him with a smile. “Senior. I just visited Qiao An and brought her some porridge. She’s very tired now. It’s best if you don’t disturb her.”

Huo Xiaoran asked in concern, “Has she eaten the porridge?”

Lu Mo shook her head. “She said she has no appetite.”

Huo Xiaoran’s expression immediately turned solemn.

“I’ll go and see her.”

Lu Mo grabbed his hand and said, “Senior, Qiao An just chased me out. Why are you making her unhappy?”

“What’s wrong with her now?”

Lu Mo said, “Sometimes people get grumpy when they wake up.”

Huo Xiaoran smiled and said, “This girl.”

Then he changed her mind. “Fine. I’ll see her later.”

Inside the ward, Qiao An heard the conversation outside and softly spat out, “Fool.”

Although she was complaining about Huo Xiaoran, her eyes were filled with gentleness.

She was oblivious to the fact that she was a different person now. The edge had disappeared from her body, and her hedgehog-like personality was quietly softening.

Because she was back to the bright and cheerful girl, Qiao An.

Although she had experienced everything, she was lucky to have found her original intention.

That was to continue doting on Huo Xiaoran.

There was no need to worry.

There was no need to tear at her soul the way she used to, to sway painfully between loving and not loving.

Not long after, Xiao Yue and Qiao He arrived.

They also brought her a breakfast.

Qiao An was so hungry that she finished the porridge Qiao He had brought.

When Qiao He saw his sister’s sorry state, his heart ached. “Sister, you say that you always go to the temple to pray for peace. Then please pray for the Buddha to protect you.”

Jo Ann smiled. “One can’t be greedy. As long as the Buddha can protect those I love. I’m content.”

Xiao Yue recalled the process of digging Qiao An out of the soil yesterday and felt a lingering fear.

“Sister Qiao An, did you know? If my cousin hadn’t sensed that you were in danger yesterday, you would have died.”

At the mention of Huo Xiaoran, Xiao Yue looked at him in admiration. “My cousin is really a god. Your phone kept changing its location, but he was smart enough to deduce that the location where you were attacked was the place where the phone’s location paused the longest. If he hadn’t insisted on looking for you in the forest, brainless people like us might have followed the phone.”

Xiao Yue pulled Qiao An’s hand and said coquettishly, “Sister, you have to treat my cousin better in the future. He’s your savior. Don’t be cold to him in the future, okay? I think my cousin is so humble and pitiful in front of you. Did he dig up your ancestral grave in his previous life?”

Qiao An smiled bitterly.

This time, she didn’t hide her love for Huo Xiaoran. She confessed, “Yueyue, don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for him in the future.”

Not only would she not make things difficult for him, but she would love and dote on him as she had in the past.

Xiao Yue was overjoyed. “If Cousin hears this, he will definitely be overjoyed.”

But Qiao An remembered something important and asked Qiao He and the others, “By the way, did you catch the murderer?”

Qiao He said, “That guy was very cunning. He deliberately threw your phone on a train heading to Zeng City. The police chased the murderer in the opposite direction, but they caught the person who picked up the phone. The real murderer had gotten away.”

Qiao An’s fists clenched.

Qiao He asked her, “Sister, did you see the murderer’s true appearance?”

The killer?

Qiao An understood. It was true that Li Changhai was the murderer, but if he could escape unscathed after hurting her twice, it meant that there was a mastermind behind him.

Was this person Father Lu? Mother Lu? Or Lu Mo?

“I don’t know.”

This way, she could not alert the enemy.

She was going to take out all those who had hurt her.

“Why I can’t remember what he looked like?” Qiao An said.

Xiao Yue said, “It’s over, Sister Qiao An. You’re suffering from post-traumatic amnesia.”

“What’s post-traumatic amnesia?” Qiao He asked.

Xiao Yue said, “Some people will choose to forget that experience because they’re unwilling to recall that past.”

Qiao He looked at Qiao An skeptically. “My sister was born again. This doesn’t hurt her so much, does it?”

Qiao An wanted to kick Qiao He. She was clearly a weak little woman who also needed a man to care for her. Xiao Yue punched Qiao He.

“Nonsense. I’m not that tough. It’s just that i have no one to rely on, so I have to pretend to be strong.”

As they were talking, the ward door suddenly opened.

A doctor came in with a couple of officers.

Qiao He and Xiao Yue left tactfully.

The doctor checked Qiao An briefly and said to the officer, “The patient is clear. She’s completely out of danger.”

The officer nodded.

The doctor left self-consciously.

“Qiao An, we want to talk to you about the case. We want you to actively cooperate with us so that we can solve it sooner,” an officer said.

Qiao An explained what had happened in an orderly manner to the sheriff. At the end, she hesitated for a moment before asking for his opinion. “In case I alert the enemy, I’ll have to trouble the sheriff to announce to the public that I’ve had post-traumatic amnesia.”

The sheriff was slightly stunned. “Qiao An, you have a high level of alertness. Yet the other party managed to succeed so many times. It’s obvious that he planned the crime. Moreover, I agree with you that there was an accomplice. Don’t worry, in order to ensure your safety, we’ll announce to the public that you’ve lost your memory.”
