Chapter 13 Can't Pull the Needle Out

"Understood. I'm heading over now."

Liu Shao Xuan waved to the person who came in and then turned back to Ling Fei with a smile, "You can't take out this needle yet. If you do, you'll pass out again, and someone will criticize me for being a quack doctor. I've already prescribed your medicine. Once it's delivered and you've taken it, you're free to go."

After finishing his sentences, he winked at Song Tian Mo and quickly left.

Only Ling Fei and Song Tian Mo were left in the sickroom.

Every extra moment Ling Fei had to spend with this man was burdensome. She reached out to pull the needle out herself. She had watched nurses do it countless times when her father was hospitalized and remained unconscious.

"Try pulling it out yourself if you dare."

A suddenly sinister voice emerged unexpectedly.

Ling Fei looked up.

The man sitting across her was staring at her with a cold face. His handsome brows furrowed coldly together. He reclined in the sofa, his pupils radiating an extreme sense of danger.

Ling Fei lowered her head and ignored him.

Her right hand felt the needle on the back of her left hand.

"Go ahead and pull the needle out. Then we can continue with what we were doing earlier." The creepy voice, like a devil's, sounded again.

"You…"

Enraged, Ling Fei glared at him.

Song Tian Mo looked at her, his expression a mix of amusement and seriousness.

Ling Fei dared not to move her hand any further.

She had already tasted how strong this man's power was. Given her current state of being weak all over, if he wanted to do something, she would not be able to dodge it.

"Knock, knock."

The door was knocked again.

"Come in."

Replied Ling Fei eagerly.

Song Tian Mo hummed, but didn't say a word.

The door was pushed open by a female nurse holding two lunch boxes. She walked up to Ling Fei with a smile, placing the lunch boxes on the simple dining table in the sickroom before opening them.

"Miss, these are prepared for you by Director Liu."

She retreated after her words, her eyes couldn't help but sweep across Song Tian Mo's handsome face before she left.

Ling Fei looked at the two lunch boxes in front of her.

One was Pearl rice, so fragrant that it filled the air.

The other box contained two meat and three vegetarian dishes, each separated with a partition in the lunch box. It was colorful, light, yet very appealing to the palate.

Is this...

The medicine that Director Liu prescribed for me?

Is Liu Shao Xuan the director?

Suddenly, her stomach grumbled.

"Did you faint from hunger?"

Song Tian Mo, who was by her side at some point, raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Embarrassed, Ling Fei responded while looking at him, "So what if I'm hungry? Do you have a problem with that?"

Song Tian Mo burst out laughing.

"I don't mind. Go ahead and eat before you faint again; sheesh, your stamina, it's seriously lacking".

He then turned around and sat back down on the sofa.

Ling Fei was frustrated.

Picking up the chopsticks, she wished she could stab two holes into him.

But she knew she couldn't.

This man was indeed dangerous.

The most important thing now was to leave this place.

She was really starving.

Ling Fei began to eat, disregarding the man's presence altogether.

Then Song Tian Mo's phone rang.

He glanced at it, got up, opened the door, and walked out. The door was left ajar, and she could faintly hear him talking in the hallway.

He hadn't returned by the time Ling Fei had finished her meal.

The IV drip was nearly dry. Ling Fei called the nurse over by ringing the bell.

The nurse quickly came and removed the needle for her.

Song Tian Mo's voice could no longer be heard in the hallway, and he was nowhere in sight. Ling Fei strongly felt that this was a good opportunity to leave.

Her purse was right next to her.

She grabbed it, jumped off the bed, and went to open the door.

Standing by the door was a man in a black suit.

With sunglasses on his face, an emotionless expression, and a strong and muscular build, he struck a typical bodyguard's pose. The sight of such a figure as soon as she stepped out startled Ling Fei.
