Chapter 525 The Blind Girl Bound by Gratitude (18)
Mu Zhou had composed herself and recovered from the tension and panic of suddenly encountering Fu Hanji.
She coldly withdrew her hand:
"It has nothing to do with you. Give me the medicine, and I'll transfer the money to you."
She got up and left without looking back.
But Fu Hanji did not leave.
He followed closely behind Mu Zhou, refusing to leave no matter what unpleasant things she said.
As Mu Zhou was going downstairs, he received a call from Lan Ze.
He learned that Mu Zhou had come to the hospital alone.
"You haven't left yet, have you? I'll be at the hospital parking lot right away. Wait for me here."
Mu Zhou instinctively wanted to refuse: "No..."
But thinking of Fu Hanji behind him, he agreed:
"I'm about to take the elevator to the basement parking lot to wait for you."
As soon as Mu Zhou agreed, Fu Hanji snatched the phone from her hand and hung up.
"what are you doing……"
She wanted to take it back, but couldn't find the right direction.
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Mu Zhou was pulled into the elevator by his arm around his waist.
There were clearly people in the elevator, and Mu Zhou, fearing it would cause unnecessary trouble, stopped struggling.
Upon hearing the notification tone indicating that they had arrived at the second basement level, Mu Zhou wondered if the system was planning to send him to find Lan Ze.
But after getting off the elevator, she realized she was wrong.
Fu Hanji scooped her up in his arms and carried her straight to his car, ignoring her struggles.
Mu Zhou was shoved into the back seat.
Fu Hanji followed closely behind and pressed himself against her.
The car door was closed.
Although Mu Zhou couldn't see it, she could feel the oppressive aura coming from behind. She couldn't help but lean back, but Fu Hanji held her waist and pulled her back into his lap.
After pressing herself tightly against his chest, Mu Zhou initially struggled, but after realizing something was wrong, she stopped moving.
Not being able to see Fu Hanji's expression made her feel shy and uneasy.
In the small, quiet space, only her rapid breathing could be heard.
Her voice trembled:
"Fu Hanji, what exactly do you want to do?!"
Fu Hanji lowered his eyes and gazed at her.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her pink lips parted slightly, and she looked pitiful, as if she were at someone's mercy.
He sighed, gently placing his large hand on the back of her head, letting her lean against him.
"Tell me, how exactly did you get hurt?"
This position allowed him to see the gauze on the back of Mu Zhou's neck more clearly.
He still remembers the process of the nurse applying medicine to him in the examination room.
Despite the gruesome wound, she endured it without crying out in pain.
Fu Hanji's eyes reddened with heartache.
He gently stroked Mu Zhou's hair and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
“Zhouzhou, you can trust me.”
Mu Zhou felt a slight tingling in his nose.
Perhaps it was because his voice was so gentle that her hardened heart softened in an instant.
When he opened his mouth, his voice was choked with emotion.
"I was scratched by a glass vase at home."
That day, she wanted to clean the house herself, but she accidentally bumped into a glass vase that had been placed on the cabinet for a long time.
The vase shattered instantly upon hitting the cabinet, and a shard struck Mu Zhou on the back of the neck. As she fell to the ground, she also injured her arm.
Actually, I also have some wounds on my palms, but they are not serious and have already healed.
Fu Hanji quickly took her hand and looked at her.
Sure enough, there were still some scars on her fair skin, indicating that she had been injured.
Fu Hanji stroked the scars, feeling extremely distressed.
But then, Fu Hanji paused, his hand stroking her palm, and suddenly asked sharply:
"when did it happen?"
Judging from the healing progress, it has been at least ten days.
Fu Hanji suddenly remembered their meeting on Christmas Eve.
At that time, Mu Zhou was wearing a scarf, as if he was covering something up.
He suddenly thought of something, and his heart skipped a beat.
As expected, Mu Zhou fell silent and did not answer when he was injured.
Fu Hanji's chest heaved; he tried to speak, but after a long pause, he finally managed to utter a sound:
"That time Lan Ze asked you to get back together, you gave him an ambiguous answer because of this reason, right?"
Fu Hanji is not stupid; on the contrary, he has been intelligent since childhood.
Moreover, unlike Lan Ze, who only has IQ but no EQ, he also has a clear understanding of people's hearts.
So he understood in an instant.
Mu Zhou's answer that day was deliberately said to him.
In fact, Lan Ze's phone call had already aroused his suspicions.
It sounds like Lan Ze is unaware that Mu Zhou came for a follow-up check-up alone.
If Mu Zhou really intended to get back together with him, she wouldn't have done it this way.
That means there's only one possibility.
Mu Zhou had no intention of starting over with Lan Ze.
She only wanted to discourage him, that's why she said those things.
He gritted his teeth, looking into Mu Zhou's innocent and pitiful eyes, unable to bring himself to hate her, yet feeling a stifling sense of unease.
When he spoke again, it was with gritted teeth:
"Is this why you refuse to see me again?"
Mu Zhou's next words confirmed his guess.
"I'm so useless. I can mess up even the simplest things. No matter who I'm with, I only cause trouble for them, and..."
Mu Zhou sobbed softly, choked up for a moment, and then said with some pessimism:
"Love will be slowly worn down by these troublesome little things. If you also find me annoying, I don't know if I can accept another failed relationship. Rather than being disliked by others in the end, it's better not to start at all."
At this point, Fu Hanji finally understood why he had been alienated by such a sudden and abrupt emotional abuse.
He tightened his grip on Mu Zhouyao's arm, as if he wanted to pull him tightly into his embrace.
A heart was repeatedly kneaded and crushed.
He closed his eyes:
"Sorry……"
It's all his fault.
He failed to provide Mu Zhou with enough security and failed to notice her injury in time.
She had to bear all of this alone and painfully separate from him.
His apology made Mu Zhou sob even more uncontrollably.
"I was so scared that day..."
Afraid of being disliked and only causing trouble for others, she dared not tell anyone.
I'm also afraid that the injury might be too severe and cause bad consequences.
Out of fear, he eventually called an ambulance and went to the hospital alone to treat his wound.
Then, after calming down, she reconsidered her relationship with Fu Hanji.
Ultimately, I decided to let go.
Fu Hanji let her vent her tears in his arms, silently tightening his embrace.
After Mu Zhou released all the pent-up frustration and tension from this period, she nestled weakly in his arms.
Fu Hanji then spoke:
"Zhouzhou, this is not fair to me."
During this period, he could hardly sleep and threw himself into work day and night, trying to forget the impact of the relationship on him.
But no matter how difficult the work was, it couldn't stop her from missing Mu Zhou.
He can never go back to his former carefree and easygoing self.
He lowered his head and whispered in Mu Zhou's ear:
“You can’t convict me before anything has happened.”
The warm breath sprayed against his ear, and Mu Zhou trembled involuntarily, half of his body going numb as if an electric current was running through it.
Her barely perceptible gasp did not escape Fu Hanji's ears.
