Ji Nuan wanted to tug on her collar. Mo Jingshen raised his hands to press hers down, looking at her with his dark eyes.

Shen Mu brought over the ice water. He did not dare to look at Ji Nuan, keeping his gaze away in case he caught something he should not have.

“CEO Mo, your water,” Shen Mu said softly.

Mo Jingshen glanced at the chair along the hallway. He took the glass and carried Ji Nuan over to sit down, bringing the glass to her lips. “Here, drink some water.”

Ji Nuan felt the ice-cold glass and rushed to drink several mouthfuls. The ice added to the water helped to suppress some of the heat in her body.

She closed her eyes in fatigue and as though asking for help, she pressed against Mo Jingshen’s neck to whisper, “It’s so hard to bear…”

Shen Mu coughed. “CEO Mo, I’ll drive you and Miss Ji to the hospital. Or, should we go to the Yu…”

Mo Jingshen tightened the blazer around Ji Nuan, his voice calm and cold. “You settle the people here. Let those who are unaware of anything go. As for those who were aware and involved, you know what to do.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Investigate if anyone aside from Zhou Yanyan was involved and if it was related to the Zhou family. Don’t leave anyone out.”

Mo Jingshen finished his words, placing the empty glass aside. He picked up Ji Nuan and walked out.

Shen Mu rushed to follow. “CEO Mo, shall I arrange for a chauffeur…”

Mo Jingshen glanced at the little woman who kept rubbing her head against his neck disobediently and hoarsely spoke, “It’s fine.”

Mo Jingshen carried the barely conscious Ji Nuan into the car and helped her with the seat belt. After making sure she would not suddenly fall off from the seat, he touched her burning hot face and sighed softly, closing the door.

After getting on the car, Ji Nuan’s head suddenly fell over toward his side.

She slid down through the belt in her seat, unable to sit properly.

Mo Jingshen furrowed his brows. He reached his hands out, wanting to help her readjust her belt. However, in her discomfort, Ji Nuan accidentally pressed onto the button releasing the belt. In an instant, she slid down from the seat, almost landing on her butt.

Mo Jingshen: “…”

He reached out to haul her up, leaning over to tug at the seatbelt. Ji Nuan suddenly opened her eyes, staring at him dazedly. Her face was red and her eyes were shining with tears.

“This medicine… is too much… why is it that every man… in my eyes… they all have my husband’s face…”

Mo Jingshen lowered his eyes to look at the little woman who kept speaking nonsense. “What other faces have you seen that are like mine?”

“Just now ah… in the room…” She closed her eyes, speaking dazedly, “I think I saw my husband save me… but… he’s overseas right now. Even if he came back, the earliest he would arrive is tomorrow morning… how could he be here…”

Very good, that glass of water was for nothing.

In a blink of an eye, he had become an illusion in her mind.

The black Ghost sped along the road. They were still a long distance away from the Yu Garden.
