After hanging up, Mu Hua turned to leave. Xia Ran hurriedly grabbed the corner of his shirt. "Sir, are you still coming back tonight?"
Mu Hua sighed. "I'm not coming back. Sleep early and don't wait for me."
Although he also wanted to accompany Xia Ran at home, he couldn't reject Zhu Qian.
Xia Ran let go in disappointment and watched as Mu Hua left.
After arriving at the hospital, Mu Hua went to Zhu Qian's ward.
"Mu Hua, are you here?" Zhu Qian asked nervously when she heard that someone was here.
"Yes, it's me." Mu Hua walked to the bed. Zhu Qian immediately grabbed his hand and refused to let go.
Zhu Qian started crying again. "It's so painful to be blind. I can't see anything. What should I do… Mu Hua, you have to uphold justice for me! This time, Xia Ran deliberately harmed me. I can't let it go just like that! I don't care about that car accident anymore. I can't let the fact that she tried to harm me slide!"
Mu Hua actually didn't know how to settle scores with Xia Ran. He couldn't bear to hurt that little girl.
He didn't answer directly but comforted Zhu Qian. "Don't worry, the doctor said that the blindness is only temporary. You will get better in the future."
She was only temporarily blind?
Zhu Qian was stunned. She didn't expect the blindness to be temporarily. That was great!
She thought that she would really become blind in the future. If she couldn't see anything, it would be meaningless to become Mrs. Mu. She couldn't enjoy her life. It would be difficult for her to even go out.
However, on the surface, Zhu Qian still pretended to be in pain. "So what? The damage I suffered is still there. It's not only physical, but also psychological. You know how traumatized I was by the car accident in the past, and now…"
As long as the car accident was mentioned, Mu Hua would feel sorry for Zhu Qian.
As expected, Mu Hua sounded apologetic. "I know. I'll teach her a lesson."
"Really?" Zhu Qian immediately stopped crying.
"Yes," Mu Hua replied.
"That's good. I knew you wouldn't wrong me for her. We'll be husband and wife in the future. We'll spend the rest of our lives together." Zhu Qian smiled through her tears and felt very relieved.
However, Mu Hua didn't feel anything about her words. When it came to him spending the rest of his life with a certain woman, the first thing that came to his mind was Xia Ran's face.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like if he and Zhu Qian became husband and wife.
"Mu Hua, stay here with me tonight. Don't go anywhere, okay? I'm really afraid to be alone since I can't see anything." Zhu Qian started to pitifully plead again.
Mu Hua didn't refuse. "Alright, rest assured."
This was a VIP single ward. There was a bunk beside the bed, and Mu Hua could rest there.
However, Zhu Qian didn't sleep that night. She held Mu Hua's hand and talked to him, so he didn't sleep the entire night.
The next morning, Zhu Qian finally fell asleep. Mu Hua also got up tiredly.
He hadn't rested the entire night, and the stubble at the corner of his mouth had also appeared.
He still had to go to the company, so he didn't rest at all. He drove to the company to work.
On the other side, Xia Ran went to school for class. She couldn't delay her studies.
"Why are your eyes swollen so often?" Xu Jing felt very baffled when she saw Xia Ran's eyes.
Xia Ran had never been in such a situation before, but her eyes were always red and swollen these past few days, and she didn't live with her anymore. She said that she moved back.
After knowing each other for so long, Xu Jing had never gone to Xia Ran's house to play, and she didn't even know where it was.
Xia Ran yawned. "I didn't sleep well. I keep wanting to watch dramas at night. I feel like crying whenever I see something touching."
"Are you so sentimental now?" Xu Jing shook her head. "I can't understand. Didn't you used to like watching comedy?"
"People's preferences will change!" Xia Ran replied confidently.
At this moment, it was time for class to end. She immediately stood up. "Alright, I'm going back. Bye!"
With that, she ran away.
Xu Jing didn't know why she was in such a hurry.
Xia Ran specifically rushed back to make soup. The man must be very tired from guarding at the hospital last night. She wanted to make soup herself and wait for him to come back to drink it.
With Auntie He's help, Xia Ran spent two hours making a pot of soup. It was very delicious and nourishing. Just as she was waiting for Mu Hua to return, she received a call from him. "Ranran, I won't be going back tonight."
"Huh?" Xia Ran was very disappointed. "Are you working overtime?"
"I have to go to the hospital. Zhu Qian's emotions are very unstable now. I have to accompany her there." Mu Hua sounded helpless.
