Chapter 110: Truth

The treatment that Mo Zhu arranged for Huo Xuan was all planned out, including acupuncture and medicine. With Huo Xuan’s current condition and her amazing skills, he would be able to recover in a few days.

When facing Mo Zhu’s treatment, Huo Xuan was very obedient. He laid motionlessly on the hospital bed and since he had nowhere to look at, he just stared at Mo Zhu openly.

As a doctor, Mo Zhu was very serious when she performed the acupuncture. She followed the steps and found the acupuncture point first. Then, Mo Zhu controlled the strength and directly injected the needle.

The afternoon sunlight shone on the girl through the cracks in the window, clearly reflecting the fine hair on her palm-sized face. Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, blocking a pair of dark eyes.

Mo Zhu was afraid that the needles would pierce Huo Xuan too quickly and hurt him. Thus, she had placed the next few needles very gently, but to the man, the needles in the girl’s hand were not piercing into his body and instead into his heart.

An unknown sweet feeling welled up in Huo Xuan’s heart. As he quietly looked at Mo Zhu, he suddenly felt like time had passed peacefully.

Born in a family like the Huo family, Huo Xuan’s life was destined to be different from ordinary people. He had self-studied all the classes in school when he was really young and gradually became the second-in-command of the Huo family under Huo Tao’s guidance.

He had been living a life of bloodshed for too long, so when someone like Mo Zhu suddenly appeared in his life, he was at a loss on what to do.

As Mo Zhu pierced the needles into him, the distance between the two of them closed up. In such a quiet environment, Huo Xuan could even hear the girl’s soft breathing clearly.

Even after Mo Zhu removed the needles, Huo Xuan still lay obediently on the bed, not daring to move at all. “Are you done?”

When the girl heard Huo Xuan speak suddenly, she looked up at him indifferently and replied, “Alright, after taking this pill, today’s treatment is completed.”

After quickly putting away the needles, Mo Zhu took out a small exquisite porcelain bottle from her pocket and gently poured out a pill. As she handed it to Huo Xuan, she stood up and prepared to pour some water.

She had refined this medicine when she went back to the Huo family to bring some things over this morning. This pill had the same effect as the ones she had given Mo Jiu last night.

Huo Xuan took the pill from Mo Zhu and stuffed it into his mouth without even looking at it. He grabbed the girl’s hand and said seriously, “You don’t have to get me water. I can swallow this small pill even without water.”

After a pause, Huo Xuan seemed to have thought of something and asked with a grave and worried expression, “You handled so many things by yourself last night, are you afraid?”

“Afraid?” Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and looked at the man lightly. “To be honest, I haven’t heard this word for many years.”

She was not a daughter of a rich family that was raised in the hands of her parents. From a young age, Mo Zhu knew that she had to become stronger in order to get the things she wanted and protect the people she wanted to.

It didn’t mean that she hadn’t seen what Huo Xuan had experienced. On the contrary, she was someone who had started from scratch and relied on herself for everything. She was the one who was really unafraid of death.

Has she ever been afraid? She should have been. She was afraid that she would be helpless against her grandmother’s illness, and she was also afraid that Feng Yu would not get to see her taking revenge for him personally. And last night…

Thinking of this, Mo Zhu pinched her glabella and contradicted what she had just said. “I’m not afraid of those unknown dangers. If there’s anything that can make me feel afraid, it’s my grandmother and your safety.”

These words were true and sincere words from Mo Zhu’s heart. Regardless of whether it was facing countless enemies or hidden dangers, she was not worried or concerned. Now, the only things that she cared about were the health and safety of these few people.

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Huo Xuan was at a loss for words. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t touched. He didn’t expect that although he hadn’t known the girl for long, she would place him in such an important position.

“It’s my fault. It’s my fault for acting too rashly that led to my failure last night. If I had returned to Cloud City in time yesterday, I might have been able to face those things with you…” Huo Xuan held Mo Zhu’s hand with a hint of heartache as he berated himself.

Mo Zhu raised her head and smiled disapprovingly. “Don’t blame yourself. Wasn’t I able to handle the matter very well by myself? Besides, you’ve already asked Mo Wu and Uncle Zhang to help me. You did do something.”

Mo Zhu didn’t want to be a princess raised in the castle. Since Huo Xuan wanted to be with her, the two of them had to help each other improve together. She wouldn’t live on the man, and both of them wouldn’t be a burden to each other.

As if he could see the determination in the girl’s eyes, Huo Xuan nodded and changed the topic. “Are you tired after being busy for so long? If you are, you can rest for a while.”

“I’m not tired.” Mo Zhu’s answer was very quick. She gently placed her hand on the edge of the bed and the girl asked lightly, “I think you’re almost better now. Tell me, what did you go to Beijing to do mysteriously yesterday?”

“I went to steal medicine,” Huo Xuan replied very straightforwardly. Now that it had come to this, he didn’t plan on hiding it from Mo Zhu any longer.
