Chapter 997: Uncle You Can't Touch Her!

“I think she probably doesn’t want so many people in here,” Mu Xiaoyao glanced back at Ye Hua.

Understanding the cue, Ye Hua immediately pushed the door open and closed the medical room door behind them.

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze never left Baili Xia’s face, watching as it grew paler.

His voice deepened, “Lie down.”

“I won’t.” Baili Xia had never dared to defy him so openly.

But today, for some reason, she kept on challenging his patience repeatedly.

“Do you want me to force you down?” Mu Xiaojiu grunted heavily.

Baili Xia was startled and upon looking at him again, the chill in his eyes terrified her.

She hurriedly backed away, trying to get away from him, and accidentally bumped into the hospital bed not far behind her.

Her body bent as if she was about to fall.

Mu Xiaoyao’s heart tightened, fearing she might hit her stomach.

He stretched his long legs, about to rush to support her.

But someone was faster.

The instant Baili Xia began to fall, Mu Xiaojiu had already stepped forward, his large hand landing on her shoulder, steadying her.

However, what he didn’t expect was for Baili Xia, just regaining her balance, to forcefully push him away and try to hide behind the hospital bed.

She kept backing up until she hit the medical table behind her; there was nowhere left to retreat.

Only then did she meet Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze, her fingertips trembling involuntarily.

“I’m really fine, Uncle, I beg you, I have things to do. Please let me leave,” she pleaded.

“What are you so afraid of?”

Her panic and fear were evident to anyone in the medical room, unless they were blind.

Nangong Xu also looked at Baili Xia, somewhat confused.

“Is there really something wrong?

Don’t you trust even your master?

I can cure you.”

“No, I’m not uncomfortable at all, I’m fine, I don’t need a check-up,” Baili Xia continued to refuse.

“If there’s nothing wrong, then let Nangong Xu examine you,” Mu Xiaojiu said coldly.

“I don’t want to, I already said no.” Baili Xia couldn’t help but start to shout, becoming increasingly emotional and somewhat out of control.

At that moment, disregarding everything, she tried to sprint toward the door past Mu Xiaojiu.

But with Mu Xiaojiu there, how could he let her escape so easily?

Just as she passed by him, he extended his long arm and scooped her up.

He took a big step forward, about to throw her onto the hospital bed.

Mu Xiaoyao, standing to the side, was so frightened by this rough action that he forgot to even breathe.

“Uncle, you can’t touch her, be gentler!”

Baili Xia also clung tightly to Mu Xiaojiu’s arm, fearing that he would indeed throw her onto the bed with force.

In the past, Uncle had done this before; when he wanted her close, he had several times carried her abruptly to the bed.

Back then, her body had been fine, there was no baby in her belly, and the bed had been sufficiently soft.

Being thrown down, at most she felt a slight pain, nothing serious.

But this time, what if the baby was harmed if she were thrown down?

That look of utter terror made Mu Xiaojiu’s brows furrow, and he halted his action of throwing her down.

He turned to look at Mu Xiaoyao, his expression instantly darkening.

The atmosphere in his eyes was as cold as the air emanating from a glacier; approaching him felt like there was no need for air conditioning even on a hot day.

“Do you know what’s going on with her? Speak!”
