Lu Zhao lay exhaustedly on the hospital bed, his handsome face looking a bit dull from staying up late and excessive worry.
“Lu Zhao,” Luo Ying called out wearily, “Lu Zhao.”
Lu Zhao was in a light sleep. He jolted up at the sound of her voice. When he saw that Luo Ying was awake, he excitedly grabbed her hand.
“Baby, you’re finally awake,” Lu Zhao’s forehead pressed against the back of Luo Ying’s hand, and a tear slid down her cold skin.
He was crying.
One can only imagine the fear he had experienced while she was unconscious. Luo Ying tried to sit up, but the pain from her wound made her flinch, and her facial features scrunched together in agony.
Lu Zhao quickly held her, “Your body is still weak; don’t move for now. You haven’t eaten anything after being unconscious for so long. Let me feed you some first.
He opened the insulated lunch box on the bedside table, and the aroma of chicken soup filled the air.
Luo Ying pretended to look disdainful. “I don’t want to drink clear and tasteless chicken soup. I want some hotpot.”
Lu Zhao lovingly rubbed her nose, “Get well soon, and I’ll take you out for hotpot when we leave the hospital.”
While blowing on the chicken soup, Lu Zhao fed Luo Ying bit by bit.
“It seems the poison master is indeed as famous as they say. Her medicine took effect immediately after you took it,” Lu Zhao said as he fed her.
Luo Ying nearly spat out the chicken soup she had just drunk.
Did he just mention the poison master, as in the biological mother of this body?
Her whereabouts had been unknown for so long. Why did she suddenly appear and treat her?
Luo Ying felt something was amiss.
“Where did you meet this poison master?” Luo Ying asked.
“A woman recommended her,” Lu Zhao said while frowning. At that time, he was entirely focused on Luo Ying and hadn’t paid much attention to the appearance of the woman.
He called Xiao Ting and asked him to retrieve the surveillance footage from the car’s recorder.
When Luo Ying saw the woman’s face, she exclaimed, “Liu Sheng! It’s her.”
Lu Zhao was also inwardly surprised.
“What? Do you know her?” Lu Zhao asked.
“She’s the woman who splashed sulfuric acid at me that day,” Luo Ying said.
“What?” Lu Zhao couldn’t believe his ears.
“That time, Shen Lan called me over and provided me with clues. Before I could tell you anything, I received news that Xie Yun’s condition had worsened. I rushed to the hospital in a hurry, but in the end, I was attacked,” Luo Ying recounted the situation.
Lu Zhao’s mind was in turmoil. If this woman had tried to harm Luo Ying in the past, she could not possibly mean her any well.
Even so, Luo Ying was awake. Why?
Luo Ying looked at Lu Zhao while lost in thought.
She knew Lu Zhao well enough to know that he would not be so gullible.
Why did that woman’s simple words make him believe her?
Something was amiss. Someone in Lu Zhao’s circle must have clouded his mind and judgment.
“Call Jiang Ming to check my body. I suspect this poison master was a fraud. I don’t know what kind of medicine she gave me. Also, have your men secretly monitor Liu Sheng and this impostor. If anything happens to me, move in on them. I fear that we’re in a very dangerous situation now.” Luo Ying organized her thoughts methodically.
Lu Zhao nodded solemnly.
He had been feeling powerless. He was often encountering obstacles when trying to solve other problems. Luo Ying’s sudden assassination attempt and hospitalization had dealt him a significant blow. He was becoming fragile and vulnerable.
The thought frightened him.
It was true; that was indeed the case. He had never been easily affected by things in the past, nor would he easily trust the words of strangers.
But now…
He could not afford the brainpower to think any further and simply followed Luo Ying’s instructions.
Jiang Ming examined Luo Ying’s body with a serious expression.
“Based on appearances, you seem to be recovering rapidly, and you seem to be in high spirits. However, there’s a very serious problem—your heartbeat is too
fast.’
Luo Ying also felt her heart seemingly racing out of control, even though she wasn’t agitated in the slightest.
“I need to draw some blood for further testing.”
Jiang Ming took a small vial of blood and left the ward. Before leaving, he gave the couple a meaningful glance..
