Chapter 247: Just Like Her Body

Nangong Xu immediately realized that he had been dismissed by Mr.

Xiaojiu.

But, did Mr.

Xiaojiu really need to be so superficial?

If it wasn’t for him bringing this lady here, would they have met?

However, the gaze Mr.

Xiaojiu directed at him now was cold and carried a warning.

Even if he wanted to play dumb, he couldn’t anymore.

He coughed lightly, then glanced at the blood bag, feeling helpless.

“I…

indeed have a lot of things to deal with.”

After a pause, he continued, “Xue, you stay and take care of Mr.

Xiaojiu.

I will come later and tidy up the things.”

He glanced back at Baili Xia, who was frozen in place, but didn’t say anything else and walked towards the door.

As he exited, he glanced back at Baili Xia, his words carrying a hint of warning.

“Fifteen minutes later, I will check the blood transfusion.

In case of any unexpected occurrences, immediately call for someone to fetch me, the servant knows where I am.

And…”

He paused for a moment, then, in a low voice, said a few things Mr.

Xiaojiu definitely wouldn’t like to hear.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu is currently very weak, and should abstain from strenuous activities.

They could cost him his life.”

“Are you done yet?” The icy gaze once again fell onto Nangong Xu.

Mu Xiaojiu lips lightly pressed together, his words growing increasingly annoyed: “Get out.”

The room door was immediately closed, and Nangong Xu’s long, dark hair disappeared from the sight of the two people inside.

Baili Xia’s fingers became more and more tense as she remained standing in front of the table, staring at the medical kit.

She remained stiff, not daring to turn around to look at the man on the bed.

Mu Xiaojiu, however, was feeling quite agitated due to Nangong Xu’s words.

What did he mean by him being incredibly weak?

Who said he was weak?

Did this girl also believe Nangong Xu’s words, thinking he was so weak he couldn’t engage in “strenuous activities”?

“Since you’re here, what are you doing hiding over there?

Reflecting on your actions?”

The discontent was clear in his icy voice as it echoed from behind Baili Xia.

Baili Xia took in a deep breath, knowing that he had recognized her long ago.

Helpless, she had no choice but to turn around and look at him: “Uncle.”

This was the first time she was seeing him so vividly since the incident.

Uncle’s face was somewhat pale, a needle for blood transfusion still inserted in his arm.

The Uncle, who had always been so strong that no one could compete with, was sitting on the bed in the state of a patient.

This sight immediately made Baili Xia’s heart shudder.

Uncle was supposed to be an imposing figure, but because of her, he had fallen into this state.

“What’s with that look?” Her pity, seen through Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes, immediately turned into sarcasm.

His woman was actually looking at him with sympathy.

Did she really think he was so weak he couldn’t do anything?

“Come here.” He grunted, his gaze firmly fixed on her face.

It hasn’t been more than two days, and this girl had already seemingly lost some weight.

And, her face was even paler than his.

If nobody knew any better, they would think that she was the one who was ill!

This time, Baili Xia did not resist and walked over in small steps.

However, she did not approach him, stopping only at the bedside.

Nangong Xu had said, she wasn’t allowed to get close to Uncle anymore.

Actually, it was fine not to be intimate with him.

She didn’t want to be constantly forced to do those things.

But now, seeing Uncle again, she couldn’t help but want to move closer to him.

She wanted to hug him, tightly, to feel his heartbeat and his breath.

Only when she heard his strong heartbeat and smelled his familiar, comforting scent,

Would she believe that Uncle had really returned, that he had survived!
