As soon as she opened her mouth, the tense atmosphere of the consultation room suddenly quieted down.
Ye Ning was startled for a moment!
Was he telling her to leave?
She bit her lip, and it took her a while to come to her senses. Then, she looked at the doctor, who was staring at her with anger, and at the man beside her, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat and who radiated an aura of irritability. She quickly turned around and left the consultation room...
Was she possessed? What was she doing? How did she start arguing with the doctor?
She slapped her cheeks several times with force, and after running to the hall and taking several deep breaths in front of the air conditioner, she finally calmed herself down...
This was too horrifying!
Once she had calmed down, she returned to the doorway of the consultation room. This time, however, she did not enter, standing outside instead, while she took out her phone to call Lin Yebai.
"Hello? Brother Lin!"
"Aning? You’re back?"
Ye Ning quickly looked back, "No, I’m at XX Hospital. Ou Mucen hurt his hand trying to save me!"
"What did you say?" Lin Yebai was shocked to hear this on the other end, "He got hurt saving you?"
Ye Ning nodded her head and gave a brief explanation of what had happened. Of course, she hid the fact that she had known there was something wrong with the jade sample from early on.
Learning that Ou Mucen had been injured while blocking a blade, Lin Yebai furrowed his brows tightly, "You’re too rash. The difference in the stress that a handcrafted knife and a machine blade can take is huge. How could you take such a risk? If he hadn’t shielded you, you could have lost your eyesight."
Ye Ning quickly admitted her fault, "Yes, so now I’m here with him at the hospital to remove the blade. Brother Lin, once he’s better, I’ll come right back."
Lin Yebai gave a noncommittal "Hmm" on the phone, then did not say anything more before hanging up.
Of course, he wouldn’t say anything. After all, that man had been injured because of her. It was only right for her to be with him in the hospital now, taking care of him.
But Ye Ning, hearing that he wasn’t angry or insisting on her returning, sighed in relief after hanging up the phone. Just then, the consultation room outside started calling the next number, so she hurried over.
Indeed, as soon as she reached the door, it opened.
The moment it did, she saw a man whose face was somewhat pale and whose forehead was covered in cold sweat, walking out with one hand that had just been re-bandaged.
Upon seeing him, Ye Ning quickly approached, "Is it out already?"
Ou Mucen didn’t say a word, just staring with a stern face, tilting his head back and squinting at the ceiling.
Ye Ning didn’t quite understand until she noticed sweat beads still rolling down his temples; that’s when she quickly supported him, "Ou Mucen, are you alright?"
"I’m going to the restroom for a bit, take this and handle it." He finally spoke, sounding a bit tired and hoarse, and it seemed he had really suffered a lot in the consultation room.
Ye Ning hurriedly took the paper from his hand.
"Alright, I’ll get your medicine. As soon as I have it, I’ll come find you here."
With just that "Hmm," he headed toward the restroom.
Ye Ning watched him go, then took the two papers to pay for the medication and pick it up.
In fact, even up to now after everything that happened, she still found it hard to believe.
Who was this man? He was none other than the third young master of the Ou Family!
