Zheng Li and Cai Liquin left the hospital and are now on their way back to the hotel.
He instructed her what to say if the bodyguards or even the people in the Zheng family questions her.
"Grandma, if they ask you where you went and what you did with me, just tell them that you were taken to the police station for your statement."
"Ms. Yan helped you earlier this evening, so as one of the few people who got in close contact with her tonight, it's only natural that the police ask you questions."
"Li'er… About the thing you said to Mr. Gu…" Cai Liquin wanted to bring it up, but Zheng Li cut her off.
"Grandma, it's true that you are my only family now. Grandma, you shouldn't trust a single person in the Zheng family. Please be careful with the food they are giving you."
"Li'er, how can you think that…"
"Grandma, I'm serious. You are the only person left who cared for me genuinely, so I wish you to be safe."
"Just think about it, other than Zheng Shaoting, you are the next one who holds the most shares in the Zheng Corporation. I would recommend for you to write a will to sell all your shares and distribute the money to different charities. This way, they wouldn't dare to harm you in any way."
"I know that you think that your own sons and daughter wouldn't ever do that to you, but can you say the same with the ones who aren't. You really must be careful grandma, especially from that Guo Ying and her Guo family".

-Guuuh-
[Am I dead?]
[Damn Gods, my life is finally getting better.]
[But I don't think I should be dead yet. I was only stabbed once and it's in the stomach. If I didn't get immediate treatment, then there's a high chance for me to die.]
[However, I saw someone take down that elegant lady before I pass out, so I should be good... right?]
[F*ck, you can't really judge a person by their appearance. Who would know that a lady of the high society would be that crazy to try and kill someone? Not to mention, mom who is now the wife of CEO Gu Feng.]
[So, if there are no other mishaps, I must be in some kind of a dream, or… maybe I'm in a comatose state.]
[I just hope there's nothing else crazy that happened. I just hope mom is safe and won't feel sad. But gaaah, knowing mom, she probably will be sad and cry a lot.]
"Run!"
While Yan Rumei was busy thinking about things, she suddenly heard a woman shout.
[Huh?]
Before she could make up anything, she heard another voice. But this time, it was from a man.
"I've finally found you." It was a deep and cool voice. She thought the voice came from someone a little bit farther away, but in the next second, something brushed the back of her ear.
Yan Rumei couldn't help but shiver from the chill it brought her. She instinctively touched her ear and was about to turn around to look when a shadow grabbed her hand.
-Gaaasp-
Normally, Yan Rumei shouldn't even be scared or feel any panic because she was aware that she is in a dream or at least that this isn't real. But the moment she stared at the shadow's face, she couldn't help but jolt back and gasp in fear.
"I've given up everything just so I could bring you back. But some soul accidentally took that chance. Luckily, he was able to save you in time." The shadow, still not letting go of her hand, stared deep into her eyes while recounting.
"Wait for me, I'll come for you soon." After he said that, the shadow's face moved forward, and at the same time, it pulled her hand to kiss her fingers.
-Gaaasp-
Yan Rumei jolted awake.
"What the moth*rf**king demon!"
-Aaaargh-
Yan Rumei cringed in pain and clutched the area around her stomach.
"That hurts. Aw... aw..."
"If you don't want the stitches on your wound to tear, you better lay down and relax." A woman in a doctor's robe rolled her eyes at the currently 'patient' Yan Rumei.
[Eh?]
[Wow, doc. So straightforward. You should at least show some care to your patient.]
The female doctor once again rolled her eyes, and at the same time, also showed some annoyance when she saw Yan Rumei squint at her.
-Tsssk-
"Hey, it's not my choice. If you ask me, I didn't want to be taking care of you either." The female doctor grumpily complained. She then whispered in almost unintelligible words, "I'd rather stay in the lab and continue my research."
-Sigh-
"Ah okay… okay… I'm sorry for giving you such a look doctor. I just had a nightmare, and I had a lot of things in mind that I forgot my manners." Yan Rumei apologized.
"Apology accepted.", she replied.
-Sigh-
"Miss Yan, I'm Doctor Tan Jiaying. I was appointed by the Director of St. Luke's Hospital to take care of you while you are here in our premises." Tan Jiaying introduced herself in a calm manner. She then continued, "Your father is accompanying your mother in the next room, would you like me to let them know that you are awake?"
"What? What happened to mom? Is she hurt? How is she?" Yan Rumei was panic-striken. She wanted to get up to look for her mom herself when Tan Jiaying stopped her.
"Relax… Your mom is not hurt or anything. They just reserved the other VIP room so they can rest here in the hospital while waiting for you to recover."
-Tssk-
Tan Jiaying clicked her mouth again.
[These rich people can do whatever they want.]
-Sigh-
[If only they use it to fund experiments so we can discover more cures to different illnesses, then the world will be a better place.]
-Sigh-
Yan Rumei also heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that her mom is just resting and is not really hurt. She also realized that this female doctor doesn't seem to like being here and would rather be somewhere else.
Therefore, she said, "Err… Doctor Tan. You don't have to watch over me. I'm not in any critical situation, right? And if anything, I can just call you or other nurses using this buzzer here."
