Gu Tingyuan was stunned upon hearing this.
He was very clear about Helian Zhen's character. Helian Zhen would never joke around when dealing with a patient's illness.
"What do you mean?" He narrowed his eyes, not understanding why Helian Zhen would make Mu Wan's condition sound so serious.
He Lianzhen took a deep breath. "I overlooked this previously. Although her mental state is very good… her body is severely anemic…"
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Tingyuan grabbed his collar.
"Tell me exactly what happened."
Helian Zhen saw a never-before-seen anxiety in Gu Tingyuan's eyes. He knew very well that in the past three years, there had never been a woman who could replace Mu Wan in Gu Tingyuan's heart. Even if he hated her to the core, he had never forgotten her.
Helian Zhen knew that he was anxious and quickly eased the atmosphere. "Don't make a fuss. Didn't I say that as long as you supervise her every day, her body will naturally recover."
However, there was clear doubt in Gu Tingyuan's eyes.
If it wasn't serious, Helian Zhen wouldn't have warned him so sternly.
Upon seeing his doubt, Helian Zhen sighed. "Don't worry. With me around, nothing will happen to Mu Wan." As he said that, he glanced at the Chinese medicine in his hands. "But I can't be here all the time, so you'll have to supervise her and make sure that she takes these medicines yourself."
After staring at him for a while, Gu Tingyuan said, "Are you sure that she will be fine after taking these medicines?"
"Of course!"
"I'll trust you on this."
Gu Tingyuan took the medicine and left.
Meanwhile, Helian Zhen had a resentful look on his face as he shouted at his back, "What a cold-blooded fellow. He doesn't even know how to say 'thank you'!"
Gu Tingyuan ignored him and went upstairs with the medicine.
He had just reached the corner of the second floor when he bumped into Mu Wan, who was rushing downstairs.
Mu Wan staggered and felt the world spinning around her. Luckily, Gu Tingyuan reached out and held her in time.
Her expression was really bad.
What exactly was going on?
"Didn't Helian tell you to lie down?" Very quickly, he let go of her hand, his expression very indifferent.
Mu Wan clearly saw his hand that he could not wait to pull away. Although she did not feel good, she seemed to be used to hiding her emotions for the past three years.
She looked at the man calmly. "Has he left?"
Gu Tingyuan said, "Yes."
Mu Wan was stunned for a moment and did not say anything else. She only gave a low "oh" before turning back to the master bedroom.
As he watched her leave, Gu Tingyuan narrowed his eyes.
Had she dragged her sickly body downstairs in a hurry just to ask if Helian had left?
All of a sudden, Gu Tingyuan felt depressed.
…
In the dead of the night, Mu Wan leaned against the bed frame but did not feel sleepy at all.
It had been almost two months since she came to the Imperial View Manor and she had not even seen Gu Han. How should she find out more about him?
There was also the matter of Mu Qingsong's family. How could she reveal their ugly faces to the public?
Furthermore, she was worried about her brother, Mu Chen. She did not know if he would be bullied in prison, but she really wanted to see him.
Looking at the starry sky outside the window, Mu Wan lifted her blanket and got up to walk to the balcony of the master bedroom.
Standing by the guardrail, she looked down at the flowers in the distance. The pitch-black night made the entire Imperial View Manor seem like a sea of stars, mottled and beautiful.
It was late autumn and the night breeze was a little chilly.
