Chapter 333: High Fever
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Nuan raised her hand to hold Mo Jingshen’s arm, noticing that just now he was trying to shield her behind him.
She remembered Feng Ling saying that Miss Su had intermittently manic sickness, but she couldn’t be so irrational as to do anything against her in a place like this.
Mo Jingshen held Ji Nuan’s hand, silently reassuring her and not letting her be affected by these affairs.
Their gesture didn’t escape Su Zhilan’s eyes. She looked at their hands clasped together and said sourly, “Jingshen, we had been together for two years. You worked overtime, and I accompanied you to work overtime. You went on business trips, and I followed you on business trips. You and I have experienced no less than you and Ji Nuan. I was honest enough with you. I didn’t mean to lie to you back then, but it’s unfair for you to deny my love for you. I’ve been in love with you for so many years. I…”
“That’s enough.” Mo Jingshen’s paleness added yet more indifference to his already cold look. “Lies will get you nowhere. Your so-called love is just your obsession. I do not owe you, nor I am responsible for you. Just go. Don’t make yourself a joke.”
K took his words as his order. He went up to Su Zhilan and said politely, “It is not convenient for Mr. and Mrs. Mo to receive guests. Please leave.”
Su Zhilan still wanted to speak, but K stood in front of her.
Su Zhilan’s hands kept shaking. She tried to control her emotions; her eyes were full of sadness. Knowing that it wouldn’t do her any good to stay here, she took a deep breath, saying, “OK, I’m leaving. Jingshen, please take care of yourself. I’ll come again when you leave the hospital…”
“Miss Su, please.”
Before she finished her words, K, who had been standing in front of her, showed her the door.
With her fingers firmly clenched, Su Zhilan managed to maintain her last touch of grace and stepped out.
K blocked her line of sight from looking into the ward as she walked away with him. It was not until they were far away that Nan Heng, who had been leaning against the door of the ward, caught a glimpse of Mo Jingshen, who looked horribly pale. “Are you sure you can hold up?”
However, Mo Jingshen couldn’t answer him. Ji Nuan cried in surprise when he fell on her; she hurriedly reached out to steady his body.
Ji Nuan was startled. Her hands clasped tightly around his body for fear that he should fall.
Nan Heng frowned, turned around, and went out to call for a nurse. When the doctors and nurses came to help him up in a hurry, Ji Nuan looked at the blood on her hand and then at the blood oozing from the back of Mo Jingshen’s light blue hospital gown. Her heart sank.
His ward was four floors away from hers. He came soon after Su Zhilan came. How did he manage to come so soon after getting the news and pulling out the needles? His injuries were more than just flesh wounds. The doctor had told her that although the butt of the rifle didn’t break his bone, his wounds opened his skin, showing the bone. After two or three days of recuperation, his wounds had finally almost healed, but he got out of bed.

The sky gradually became dark.
“Ji Nuan, you really have a jinxing mouth.” Outside the ward, Nan Heng sighed to the woman in front of the door.
Ji Nuan: “…”
Once Mo Jingshen was taken back to his ward by the doctors and nurses, his wounds were re-treated, his bleeding had been stopped, and medicine had been applied onto his wounds. Just as she had said, his wounds had inflammation, and a few hours later, he had a high fever, and his temperature shot up to forty degrees.
If he hadn’t happened to be in the hospital or if it had been delayed a little longer, he would have had serious trouble.
The doctors were still in the ward, so Ji Nuan couldn’t go in now. She had to wait outside under Nan Heng’s blaming eyes.
“I was watching him every minute of every day, telling him not to move, and all I did was going back to my ward to take a bath while you let him get out of his ward. I know K didn’t dare stop him, but how about the other people? Didn’t they know the wounds on his back will get inflammation if he came out like that? Why didn’t they stop him? Your men are to blame. How can you blame my mouth?” Ji Nuan glared at him. “Just after receiving the bombing of my husband’s ex-girlfriend and all kinds of mental and physical stimulation, I have to face my husband’s high fever and coma. Can’t you consider my mood? At least comfort me.”
Nan Heng stared at her coldly. “I don’t think you’re stimulated by his ex-girlfriend.”
Ji Nuan stared back angrily. “Before I was stimulated by her, the one who you failed to stop had already rushed into my ward.”
“So, you want to be stimulated?” Nan Heng coldly raised his eyebrows. “If you want to listen, I don’t mind telling you about the story of Mo Jingshen and Su Zhilan. No matter how much sincerity or hypocrisy was involved, they were together for two years, indeed. You know, love will come in time…”
“I don’t want to listen,” Ji Nuan said firmly.
“Didn’t you just say you wanted to be stimulated?”
“I’ve noticed that you always want to sow discord between us since we’ve been together. I’m no interested in the story of Mo Jingshen and Su Zhilan but in you.”
“…Me? For what?”
“I wonder, is it because I stole the man you love that you always hate me. So, Nan Heng, did you fall for Mo Jingshen…” Ji Nuan gave him a meaningful look. After watching Nan Heng choked himself on a puff of smoke and coughed loudly, Ji Nuan turned her eyes to Feng Ling, who had just walked out of the elevator.
Nan Heng coughed badly. Feng Ling came over and cast a strange look at him, and then looked at Ji Nuan expressionlessly. “Mrs. Mo, I’ve sent a different team to guard your ward. No one can disturb you again.”
Ji Nuan nodded. In fact, if it were someone else today, he wouldn’t have been able to get into her ward, but Su Zhilan had known them before, and it was understandable that they dared not stop her.
However, there must be some who took sides with the Su family among those men. After all, everyone knew about Su Zhilan’s past relationship with Mo Jingshen. They let Mo Jingshen’s ex-girlfriend in to see her either to watch the fun or because they had been in contact with the Su family.
