Chapter 188: Visiting a Love Rival and Meeting the Murderer
The report that the attending physician gave Huo Xiaoran indicated that Lu Mo’s condition was dangerous.
Huo Xiaoran felt extremely guilty towards Lu Mo.
That day, he secretly warned himself to stop loving Qiao An and treat Lu Mo well.
Lu Mo was terminally ill. This news was originally ordered to be kept a secret by the director of Jinghang Hospital. However, someone leaked the news and rumors began to spread online that the daughter of the director of Jinghang Hospital was terminally ill. The CEO of Angel Group turned around for love.”
Qiao An sat on the sofa in a daze when she saw the news online.
Her heart felt as if it had been dug out by someone, and every cell in her body was filled with sadness. She hated herself for being useless. This man seemed to be loyal on the surface, but he was actually ruthless. Why couldn’t she let him go?
Why? Did she still have a little hope for him?
She even hoped that Huo Xiaoran was not the mastermind who had hired someone to kill her.
After all, Huo Xiaoran had entered her heart since she was young.
She lived for him.
Qiao An took a deep breath and sighed at how lowly she loved him.
Forget him.
Qiao An decided to visit Lu Mo at the hospital. The reason for this decision was that Lu Mo had once helped her when she fell to the hospital. Qiao An remembered this kindness.
When Lu Mo was seriously ill, Qiao An visited her out of morality.
She bought beautiful gifts for Lu Mo, which meant that things would go smoothly. Then, she chose a date and came to Jinghang Hospital.
Unexpectedly, when the nurse brought her to Lu Mo’s ward, Huo Xiaoran was also in Lu Mo’s ward.
There were bruises under his beautiful eyes. It looked like he had not rested well for many days. After all, Huo Xiaoran was born with a good foundation. Occasionally, he would stay up late, but it would not show on his face.
When Huo Xiaoran saw Qiao An, he stood up from his chair.
Their eyes met, a little awkwardly.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Lu Mo’s eyes, but she had to show the courtesy and enthusiasm of a host. She said weakly, “Qiao An, thank you for coming to see me. I’ve really troubled you.”
Qiao An walked up to Lu Mo and gave her her carefully selected gift. “Dr. Lu, I bought you a string of grapevine bracelets. The grapevine represents good luck. I hope you can recover quickly. Walk into the hall of marriage with President Huo soon.”
Huo Xiaoran felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him, turning him from a spring field to a world of ice and snow.
He looked at Qiao An resentfully. Finally, his gaze landed on the string of good gems. His lips curled. “You always like to transport good things to others. How much good luck can you leave behind?”
Qiao An was slightly stunned. She suddenly remembered that a few days before she came to the capital five years ago, she had found a four-leaf clover and mailed it to Huo Xiaoran.
At that time, she felt that Huo Xiaoran did not have a father or a mother to dote on him and was often sick, so she generously blessed him in the letter. She even promised him, “She gave him all her good luck. May he be warm from now on.”
She even made a wish to Guan Yin in the temple that she was willing to give her good luck to Huo Xiaoran. Unexpectedly, she began to welcome bad luck.
Qiao An glared at Huo Xiaoran with her round eyes. “Give me back my good luck.”
Huo Xiaoran curled his lips and smiled.
“How can I return it?”
Qiao An said, “Go make a wish with Guan Yin and return all the good luck I gave you.”
Huo Xiaoran’s smile froze.
Back then, Qiao An had given him a four-leaf clover and said that she would transfer all her good luck to him. Ever since then, his career had flourished.
He hadn’t expected Qiao An to make that wish with Guan Yin.
Qiao An had loved him back then.
But now?
However, she kept a straight face and angrily asked him to return her good fortune.
“I’ll give you anything you want.” Huo Xiaoran was generous.
Qiao An said, “You have to swear to Bodhisattva. You’re going to pay a heavy price for this. Are you willing?”
Huo Xiaoran narrowed his eyes.
“And what terrible price did you pay for that?” he asked aggressively.
Qiao An was speechless. She seemed to have said too much.
Lu Mo looked at Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran. Even though the two of them had broken up, she could still feel Huo Xiaoran’s love for Qiao An.
She didn’t want them to continue. If they continued, Huo Xiaoran would probably feel Qiao An’s love.
She suddenly coughed violently.
Qiao An quickly poured her a glass of water. “Dr. Lu, please have some water.”
Lu Mo held her chest and said weakly to Huo Xiaoran, “Senior, it hurts. Help me call Dr. Li in.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Okay.” With that, he quickly left.
As soon as he left, Lu Mo looked at Qiao An with hatred. She threw the gift at her and said, “Qiao An, who cares about your luck? As you can see, Senior and I are about to get married. Please don’t appear in front of him again.”
Qiao An explained, “Dr. Lu, I just wanted to visit you. I didn’t expect him to be here at all. Don’t worry, even if I marry a chicken or a dog, I won’t turn back.”
Lu Mo said, “Leave. I don’t want to see you again.”
Lu Mo took the gift and left dejectedly.
As she walked out of the ward, she walked dejectedly toward the elevator.
Huo Xiaoran and Dr. Li rushed to Lu Mo’s ward. Huo Xiaoran accidentally saw Qiao An enter the elevator. He exchanged a few words with Dr. Li and went to chase after Qiao An.
Qiao An walked out of the hospital, her mind filled with Lu Mo’s resolute words. She suddenly laughed at herself.
Lu Mo and Huo Xiaoran were getting married, so they were one. If she wanted to be good to Lu Mo, Lu Mo naturally wouldn’t appreciate it.
Forget it, she would remember Doctor Lu’s kindness in the future.
She was lost in thought when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear. “Yes, Madam.”
She remembered that voice even if it turned to dust. It was clearly the driver who had wanted her dead three years ago.
Qiao An looked up and saw Lu Mo’s mother walking in with a small sachet.
A tall, thin man in a cap headed out.
Qiao An’s heart burned. So the driver who had murdered her back then was Mrs. Lu’s man.
From the looks of it, the attempted murder was probably the work of Huo Xiaoran and Mother Lu.
Qiao An quickly pulled her wig and hat out of her bag, then as quickly as she could, she put on some punk makeup and ran out.
Huo Xiaoran had just chased out of the elevator when he saw Qiao An’s series of actions. He looked at Qiao An in shock, not knowing what she was doing, and followed her.
The tall, thin man was sitting in the Mercedes by the side of the road. Qiao An ran up and opened the car door without hesitation. She got in and said in a hoarse voice, “Brother, please drive quickly. There’s someone chasing me.”
