Mu Lan saw darkness around her. She looked around and there was no end of darkness. She called for Mu Liang, but her voice didn't come out. She felt scared, she felt like she was alone. She walked in the darkness, finding nothing. In the end, she hopelessly fall on the ground and in her heart, she called for Mu Liang.
She closed her eyes and laid down silently in the darkness. Her body was getting cold and numb. She didn't know how long it had been, a warmth of a man engulfed her. Her coldness and numbness vanished in the air.
The man called her name. She didn't want to open her eyes. The warmth gave her a sense of security. She deeply sighed as she closed her eyes.
Just as she closed her eyes, she saw a familiar room. The sunlight had brightened up the room.
She remembered the last thing. Mark, her new driver shot Andreas using his hand only and caught a sniper bullet with his two fingers. She felt like everything was nothing but a dream.
"You woke up." A familiar voice said.
Mu Lan looked at the man who had a worried expression. "Am I dreaming?" Her voice was husky when she spoke. She felt thirsty.
Mu Liang was sitting beside her, he took her wrist and kissed there. "You are not dreaming. You woke up three days later." Then he helped her to seat up, she whimpered lightly in pain. He took a glass of water which was prepared for her.
Mu Lan noticed that her head and both hands were bandaged. She didn't use her hand to drink, Mu Liang helped her. She felt like she was in dessert for so long. One glass of water wasn't enough for her. She wanted another glass of water. After drinking two glasses of water, she was finally satisfied.
Mu Liang wiped her lips lightly knowing that there was an injury. "How are you feeling?"
She answered, "Hungry…"
Mu Liang held her wrist and said, "The doctor said that you would wake up today, so mother cooked fish soup for you. Do you want some?"
Mu Lan shook her head. "Not enough." She needed more food.
"There are some chicken dumplings and boiled egg for you." Mu Liang ordered the made to arrange the bed table for her.
The maid arranged the bed table and served the food. Mu Lan's hands were wrapped up. Thus, Mu Liang fed her slowly.
Mu Lan gained some energy after eating a few mouthful dumplings. She asked, "What happed to Mark… the driver?" She wanted to know how he covered up everything.
Mu Liang unhurriedly replied, "He was found unconscious beside you. He was hurt a little. It seemed that he was thrown away from the car because of the jerking. Feng said that he must have forgotten to tighten the seatbelt around him. he is resting in bed."
"…I see…." Mu Lan carefully looked at him to see his expression.
'Did he really doubt nothing at all?' She wondered.
A driver who was driving professionally for years, didn't tighten the seatbelt properly seemed to be a laughing matter. However, in accident anything could happen. But still, it wasn't a strong excuse.
"I will change your driver. He will have to terminate the contract." Mu Liang said.
"Huh? Why?" Mu Lan was stunned. Her heart shook. 'Did he find out anything?'
"He tried to run away in danger. What if he left you there alone?" Mu Liang frowned.
Mu Lan secretly sighed in relief. "….Oh… no, he is a good man. Don't terminate the contract. I want him to be my driver."
"Okay, but if anything unusual happens, let me know." Mu Liang fed her fish.
Mu Lan nodded. She changed the subject. "I missed the meeting." She had prepared for it for three nights. She felt bad not be there.
Mu Liang coaxed her. "Feng handled the meeting. Your presentation was neat and so detailed that he had no problem with it. He carried out the meeting and signed the contract in your place. The construction started in the very next day. Feng took your friends there so that they could help you in advance."
At first, none of them wanted to go, they wanted to stay beside Mu Lan. However, Mu Feng told them that they could do nothing even if they were beside her. So it would be better if they went there and worked for Mu Lan. It would help Mu Lan a lot.
So her three friends went there to work for Mu Lan's sake. They would finish Mu Lan's task while she recovered.
She smiled. "Okay… that's good for me. I hope that they won't overdo anything. So how long do I have to stay here in bed?"
Mu Liang answered, "Stay in bed for a whole week. If it was someone else, they wouldn't heal so fast. I asked Lu Feng to come here and told him about your fast healing progress. He took care of the rest."
"Did you tell him about the elixir?" Mu Lan asked.
"No. But as a doctor and a researcher, he will find out eventually. I didn't let him take your blood though." Mu Liang was careful and threatened Lu Feng not to take an ounce of blood from her body. Mu Liang guarded his own friend like a mother hen.
Mu Lan hid her smile thinking what Lu Feng had gone through. Suddenly she remembered the sniper. "There was a sniper…"
He fed her and replied at the same time, "Yes, the sniper killed Wagner. It seemed that Romano and Wagner didn't have a solid plan. Romano didn't like Wagner's plan and killed him. Wagner might have knew things would go that way, so he prepared his men to kill the sniper brutally."
Mu Liang told her exactly the way Mark created the scene. Mu Lan knew nothing about it since she lost conscience beforehand. Hearing all that, she wanted to meet Mark to know the real story.
"And what about Romano Corporation?"
