"Of course."

"I admire Huo Mian, she has someone that loves her this much," Song Yishi smiled.

Qin Chu fell silent as the two of them headed back to Imperial Park together. It was late at night, and there weren't a lot of people on the streets.

However, Qin Chu failed to notice a hidden camera hung up on a nearby tree branch.

The red light on it kept blinking, recording everything that happened.

After they reached Imperial Park, Song Yishi no longer pestered Qin Chu and headed straight home.

He, on the other hand, drove away from their neighborhood…

This time, he headed straight to Sky Blessing Court; however, to his surprise, Huo Mian's car wasn't there.

Therefore, he turned around and drove to South Side.

Upon seeing her Audi R8 parked outside the hospital, Qin Chu realized that Huo Mian didn't even go home.

They were giving each other the silent treatment, so he wanted to refrain from seeing her. However, he missed her like crazy.

He missed her gaze, her smile, her voice…

He wanted her to fall asleep in his arms, smell the baby-life scent on her body, and stare at her slightly-curled eyelashes as she slept.

He missed her so much that his feelings rushed out like a flood… and he couldn't resist it any longer.

He endured seven years without her, but now, he couldn't even go one day without missing her to death.

He was too used to her being by his side; he was the fish and she was the water, he was the bird and she was the sky.

Huo Mian was no longer a head nurse, so she didn't have to stand duty at the on-call booth.

She worked her night shifts doing consults for patients.

However, the neurology department rarely had emergent cases at night, so she didn't have much to do.

"Dr. Huo, a patient wants a consult," a nurse knocked on her door and said to her.

"Our department?" Huo Mian asked.

"Yeah, they're in the emergency booth in the lobby and seem to be in a hurry."

"Okay, I'll be right down."

Huo Mian looked down at her phone – it was midnight, they must be in a hurry to come at such an hour.

Therefore, she got up, put on her white lab coat, and walked out.

Two women, one old and one young, were waiting by the booth with a man in his thirties.

His body was seizing, and he seemed to be saying something. No one understood what he said, but he looked agitated.

"Dr. Huo is here, you should talk to her," the nurse said to the patient's family.

"Doctor, please take a look at my husband. I don't know what happened, but he became like this all of a sudden. It's so scary, does he have epilepsy or a mental disorder?" The younger woman panicked.

Huo Mian looked at the man, who seemed to be in a trance.

"Does he has a history of mental illness?"

"No," the woman shook her head.

"What about his immediate family?" Huo Mian asked.

The older woman beside them immediately shook her head, "No, my husband and I are fine."

"There's so much gold on the ground, hahaha, why aren't you guys picking them up? Are you f*cking idiots?" Then, the man looked down and uncontrollably swept at the floor.

"Honey, look at me, don't scare me." The woman was so terrified that she couldn't stop crying.

"It's not epilepsy… Here, take him in, I'll sedate him. Then, we'll draw his blood and examine him."

"Okay."

The two women panicked. They followed Huo Mian's orders, helped the man up, and pulled him towards the consulting room.

However. the man suddenly slapped his wife on the face… then, he kicked his mother away…

Everyone shrieked in fear; the timid nurse was so scared that she began retreating.

For some reason, that man went crazy. He looked up at Huo Mian, "You devil, why are you taking my gold?"

Before Huo Mian had the chance to say anything, he suddenly ran up to Huo Mian and reached for her neck. Then, he tightened his grasp around her…

"I'm going to strangle you, you devil, you ruined everything. I'm going to strangle you to death for blocking my path to wealth," the man glared murderously at her as he growled.

"Honey, no! Let go of her, she's the doctor!" The woman cried and ran up to them, but no matter how hard she tried, her husband refused to let go.

With the man's hands around her throat, Huo Mian felt like she was about to suffocate…

She tried to take out the silver needle she carried with her, but her hands won't listen to her commands.

Huo Mian's brain slowly ran out of oxygen; just as she was about to asphyxiate, a shadow suddenly appeared before her, pulling the patient aside and throwing him a few meters out of their way.

Huo Mian weakly collapsed onto the floor.

Qin Chu immediately went up to hold her; he was so nervous that his heart was about to flatline…

"Honey… are you okay?"
