Chapter 31 Cause
Before Mu could say anything, Annabelle rolled her eyes and collapsed.
Mu’s frown knitted even closely. However he wasted no time and removed his coat, wrapped around
her thigh, and carried her in two arms out the hotel…
……
Urgh, my head is exploding…
The first thought that came to Annabelle’s mind was that this was not her bed, and then the stark smell
of bleach. She scrunched her eyes at the bright light that was sipping through her closed eyelids. As
the blinding light slowly subsided and she powerlessly tried to take a look at her surroundings.
The room was pristine clean and gloomy, with IV and monitors beeping. The walls were a sickly-green
and the linen was pale. Strange enough, Mu was sitting quietly right in front of her.
“Why are you here?” Annabelle asked weakly, squinting her eyes at Mu to get a clearer vision.
“You don’t remember?” He asked in return, his voice was cold as ice.
Annabelle tried to recall, she first went to meet Mr. He, they drank, then…
Her memory started to flash back like a train.
“I was admitted?”
“You remembered?”
Annabelle nodded sheepishly, “Did you send me here?”
“No, it was Batman.” Mu answered expressionlessly. The thought of what she put herself through Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
ignited an unnamed temper within him.
This woman must be out of her mind!
Annabelle noticed his silent rage. She sat up and tried to pull on the IV line, thinking to leave. Next
thing she felt was a sharp pain. Seemed that unplucking IV is only viable in movies…
She kept her mouth shut, better not acquaint herself any further with Mu.
Shortly after, a doctor entered the room.
This must be Mr. Mu’s girlfriend… He thought. And his friendliness turned up a notch.
“Miss Xia, are you feeling better?” The doctor checked on her, while maintaining an awkward distance
from them.
Annabelle nodded cheerfully and replied, “Yes, much better!”
“That’s great! However Miss Xia, it is not advisable to drink such strong liquor. Luckily Mr.
Mu sent you here in time, otherwise you could be knocked off for a good whole day! And what more,
those that drink this type of liquor…” The doctor stopped halfway awkwardly.
Well, it is the couple’s business, better not comment too much.
The doctor was also familiar with Mu, or at least familiar with his ‘popularity’. Therefore he was
assuming the two were seeing each other.
Annabelle must say she was a little surprised at the test result, a negative. She suspected Mr. He to
spike her drink, but it turned out to be just a really, really strong liquor.
But then again, there wasn’t much difference anyway.
“Thank you doctor!” Yaxni smiled and bowed her head slightly.
Then Mu turned to look at the doctor and interjected, “Can she be discharged now?”
The doctor nodded servilely, “Just make sure to keep her hydrated.”
After having the green light from the doctor, Mu disappeared to handle the discharge procedures.
It was already close to midnight when the two exited the hospital.
“Thanks for sending me here Mr. Mu. I’ll make sure to pay you back for the medical expenses.”
Annabelle said courteously.
Mu however, was still feeling an irk at this episode and snarled sarcastically, “You’ve truly done it!”
Annabelle was perplexed by his sardonic comment. She frankly asked, “Isn’t this what you want?”
Ever since Covi explained the situation to her, she was positive that Mu was just trying to mess with
her.
He was the cause for all that happened today!
Isn’t this what you want?
Her words brought him to a sudden realization. He frowned and showed a troubled expression.
Yes he did do it on purpose. But it never crossed his mind that Annabelle will actually take up the
challenge, what's more, so boldly. He was convinced that she would definitely chicken
