Chapter 1017: Chasing Out Without a Moment’s Pause

After sleeping for more than ten hours, Ning Wan was completely unaware of the outside world.

Now hearing Lu Jinyan say this, she also became anxious; she didn’t want to cause trouble for Lu Jihan.

She said this and reached out, trying to pick up the phone on the bedside table.

But as soon as Ning Wan moved slightly, a huge, piercing pain surged, instantly causing cold sweat to drip from her forehead.

She couldn’t sit steadily for a moment and nearly fell off the bed, luckily Lu Jinyan was right beside her, and he quickly supported her.

"Are you alright? Please don’t move! Sit back first, don’t worry about Uncle’s matters, just lie down quietly."

Seeing him so worried about her, Ning Wan’s heart overflowed with joy and sweetness.

...

Outside the ward, Wen Duoduo, who saw everything clearly through the crack in the door, stood frozen in place.

She could see that Lu Jinyan was concerned about Ning Wan.

She knew well that Ning Wan was alone and seriously injured at this time, desperately needing Lu Jinyan’s care, comfort, protection, and companionship...

Yet she still harbored selfish thoughts, not wanting Lu Jinyan to be with Ning Wan.

While secretly despising herself, she couldn’t suppress the discomfort in her heart, a sour feeling spreading and fermenting within.

She wanted to walk in as if nothing had happened, but she couldn’t, her legs felt as if laden with lead, unable to move.

She wasn’t a petty woman, but asking her to be gracious and pretend she hadn’t seen anything was something she couldn’t do.

With this in mind, Wen Duoduo decided not to go in, placing the thermos at the ward door and turning to leave.

But she hurried too much and accidentally bumped into a cleaner coming her way.

The cleaner was startled and quickly apologized, "Oh, sorry, sorry, miss, are you okay?"

Wen Duoduo shook her head and casually replied, "I’m fine."

The cleaner held her, worriedly asking, "Are you really okay? But your face looks very pale, miss, are you feeling unwell?"

Wen Duoduo shook her head and fled in a panic.

...

Inside the ward.

Ning Wan lay back on the bed.

Perhaps due to the anesthetic, she felt a bit drowsy and ultimately couldn’t resist the drowsiness, her eyelids slowly closed.

Seeing her fall asleep, Lu Jinyan quietly got up.

As he walked to the door and gently opened it, he immediately spotted a thermos placed at the door.

He paused for a moment.

Then Lu Jinyan recognized it right away; he’d seen that thermos before, it seemed to be from Wen Duoduo’s home.

Suddenly a jolt hit him, realizing perhaps Duoduo had been here?

Unsure about what was happening, a bad feeling invaded his heart.

His handsome brows furrowed tightly, and he cursed under his breath, ’Damn it.’

He thought she probably misunderstood something, which was why she left the thermos at the door and walked away without a word.

He looked up towards the distance, seemingly catching sight of Wen Duoduo, and hurriedly shouted, "Duoduo?!"

But the woman didn’t respond and quickly vanished at the corner.

Without hesitation, Lu Jinyan sprinted off, attempting to catch up to Wen Duoduo.

By the time he reached the corner, where was Wen Duoduo? There was no trace of her.

It seemed she probably took the elevator and left.

With this thought, Lu Jinyan quickly took another elevator directly to the first floor, and as the elevator doors opened, he rushed out without stopping.
