"Terror, wife?" Mo Lihua's eyes bulge in surprise. "I… I… did not mean to sound like one. I am just worried." Her face reddened in embarrassment that made Yu Qiao laugh more.

He initially regretted teasing her about it, but the result looked better than expected. It is the first time he had seen her face red as she tried to avoid looking at him.

With Mo Lihua's eyes still puffed red, she somehow looked adorable. He even wanted to reach for her face to pinch it gently.

"Brother Qiao stop laughing!" Mo Lihua hissed as she bit her lower lip with embarrassment. "Arg! I give up! I don't care anymore!" she turned around to get out of the room.

Before she can get away, Yu Qiao grabbed her wrist stopping her further. "Lihua, thank you." He said sincerely. "I would have been worsed if you are not here with me…"

Both their fathers are in a very dire situation. Yu Qiao does not know the reason why it happened in the first place but at least with Mo Lihua around; he does not feel alone.

Mo Lihua nodded her head, "I will take care of everything while you are resting. Trust me. You need to get better soon."

"Of course, ma'am."

On another hospital room…

Everything ached for Fei Yan. Especially her eyes and she even struggled to open them, thus just kept it close. "Damn them for causing me this much injury." She whispered in anger.

She tried to crunch her knuckles to release some frustration, but too weak to do so. "I must revenge for myself." Fei Yan mumbled.

"No." A male voice replied sternly. "You will stay in the hospital and behave. Understood?" He added.

Fei Yan stiffened. Even though her eyes are closed, she would recognize that voice from anywhere.

'Piore.' She thought to herself.

He is the last person that Fei Yan wanted or expected to be around when she is feeling so weak.

Yes, given that he saved her, a simple thank you would be enough, why does he need to visit her in the hospital.

"Mo Lihua." She called out instead with her raspy voice, choosing to ignore the man. However, the erratic beat of her heart whenever he is around still cannot be ignored.

"Answer me." He insisted.

Fei Yan being stubborn, refused to acknowledge his presence. She will keep her eyes shut until he leaves.

"Mo Lihua." She called again.

"She is not here." Piore replied since she is not responding, "Answer me or…" He threatened, which Fei Yan ignored. She instead, turned her head carefully against his direction and pretended to go to sleep.

Fei Yan remembered being hit at the back of the head that draw blood. She felt it before losing consciousness from the time she was taken. 'That would scar.'

Piore's patience is very short. Fei Yan knew that and had seen the after effect when he snapped; she does not care.

She preferred to pretend to be asleep; her eyes are painful, after all. Fei Yan was pushed head first in the water multiple times. Sadly, she needed to keep her eyes open; else it would be too difficult to move her head away from a hungry piranha.

Fei Yan was not able to miss every attack from the pirana, and she can feel the part of her jaw still painful from the bite.

There must be something mixed in the water for her eyes to sting too much until now.

Still deep in her thoughts, Fei Yan suddenly felt a hand touched her jaw, exactly where the bite was. After that, he proceeded on checking her other injuries.

There was probably another on her arm and upper c.h.e.s.t as he touched those places as well. Fei Yan held her breath. 'He is not going to check everything, right?'

His hand is very gently, and Fei Yan does not know why she did not refuse his touch, and all she did was to silently wait for him to finish his inspection.

Fei Yan felt him remove the blanket, removing the blanket from her lower half and felt cold. She then had a bad feeling. Unsurprisingly, Piore's hand also reached and tried to reach for her inner t.h.i.g.h.

"That is enough. You can stop now." Fei Yan shifted her lower half to get away from his hand. She does not even know if she has u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r!

Piore grabbed her t.h.i.g.h tightly to stop her from moving. "So you decided to acknowledge me now? Hold still."

"No. I will scream if you continue." Fei Yan hissed under her breath. She is prepared to scream anytime in the event Piore insisted on harassing her.

He just chuckled, "Go ahead. There is nothing illegal to a husband checking his wife's injury. Don't you think so?"
