Marry Me Quick

Chapter 565

"Yeah." Ziyue nodded.

Ke took in Ziyue's blank stare and knew that she had not heard a word she said.

She turned to Chuan, standing at the other end. Chuan nodded toward the operating room and then shook his

head.

Chuan was telling her that anything they needed to talk about could wait until after Muchen's surgery.

Ke had wanted to ask about this morning's events.

Ziyue had been missing all night, and they found her standing in front of a hotel with Shichu. She was wearing the

same clothes as yesterday and was completely unharmed.

It didn't make sense for her to be unharmed if she had been abducted. Otherwise, why would they even bother?

Even if the person had abducted her and she had to remain unharmed to achieve their purpose, it did not explain

Shichu's appearance.

They had searched for her all night before receiving a tip saying she was at the hotel. Was Shichu more powerful

than Muzhen?

Otherwise, how would it explain Shichu finding her before Muzhen did?

All the evidence was staring them right in the face. They needed to accept it no matter how unpleasant the truth

was. Maybe the truth was as the chauffeur had said: Ziyue had left of her own will.

She had left for an entire night and had been together with Shichu.

They couldn't help but doubt Ziyue.

Ziyue realized that Ke had been staring at her all this while. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing…" Ke immediately replied.

Suddenly, the door to the operating room opened.

Ziyue didn't have time to examine the discomfort on Ke's face. She turned towards the door and hurried over. "How

is he, doctor?" She urgently asked.

"He wasn't doing well. Combined with his going out last night without getting the okay from the hospital, he is a lot

worse than before. It isn't life-threatening, but we'll need to see if it'll affect him in the long run…"

The doctor did not look happy.

He disliked patients who did not follow instructions, as well as families who did not care about the patient's well-

being.

Muchen was a VIP, and when he was admitted last night, the chief ordered them to ensure he was well looked after.

However, he had snuck out in the middle of the night to look for his wife.

This must be the rumored wife.

"Okay… I understand. Thank you, doctor." Hearing that he wasn't in any danger, the knot in her stomach loosened.

Watching how seriously she was taking this, the doctor felt better. However, he still made it a point to give her strict

orders, "He'll wake soon after they take him back to his room. All of you will need to keep an eye on him. Make sure

nothing like before happens again."

Ziyue immediately nodded and thanked him. "We'll keep an eye on him. Thank you so much."

…

Muchen was wheeled back to his room.

Chuan had gone to ask the doctor for a more detailed understanding of Muchen's condition. With Ziyue watching

Muchen, he decided to leave to take care of some other issues.

Even though there were some misunderstandings between Muchen and Ziyue, Muchen seemed to be quite upset

with her.

But he knew that however things may be, Ziyue was Muchen's life.

As long as Ziyue was there with him, whether he or Ke stayed didn't matter.

He left Muchen without a worry.

Ziyue sat next to the bed.

The anesthesia had not worn off yet. Muchen was still asleep.

Muchen was deathly pale against the white sheets. His eyes were closed, and his lips were void of any color.

He might never wake up.

Ziyue couldn't help but worry even though the doctor had told her he wasn't in any danger.

She reached out to stroke his paled cheek. She bit her lip to keep herself from making any noise.

"Mrs. Qin."

She heard Ke's soft voice behind her.

Ziyue turned to her. She looked at her, silently asking her if she needed anything.

Ke glanced at Muchen lying still on the bed and walked out the door.

Ziyue was confused. She followed Muchen out.

Once outside, Ziyue took care to close the door quietly. "Was there something you wanted to ask me before when

we were outside the operating room?"

Ke stiffened before nodding, "Yes."

"What is it?" Ziyue stared hard at Ke. She knew what Ke had wanted to ask her.

"You and that man…" Realizing that it sounded accusatory, she paused before continuing, "I heard from my brother

that you grew up together with him. The both of you are still really good friends."

"That's right." Ziyue did not deny it.

Ke did not know how to broach the subject.

Ziyue wasn't like the people that Muchen would have her interrogate. Although Chuan and she cared for Muchen

and Ziyue, it wasn't their place to ask about their relationship…

Noticing Ke's discomfort, Ziyue smiled at her, "The reason why I couldn't come last night is not that I was with

someone else. I'll explain everything once Muchen wakes up."

Ke laughed uncomfortably, "Then… I'll better head out. I'll leave some of my men to stand guard. If you need

anything, just let them know." Ke scratched her head.

She sped off.

Ziyue smiled as she watched her leave.

She went back inside. Muchen had not woken up.

She felt exhausted after having not slept a wink the night before. Afraid she'd fall asleep and miss Muchen waking

up, she splashed her face with cold water to refresh herself.

But that did nothing to keep her awake.

She sat by his bed and stared at Muchen. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Finally, she slumped over on his

bed and fell asleep.

She woke up to something cold touching her face. She didn't know how long she had been asleep.

Ziyue yawned and sat up.

She looked up and saw Muchen's dark eyes on her.

His fingers slid from her face.

Ziyue was immediately alert. She clutched his hands in happiness. "You're finally awake!"

His icy cold hand caught her attention. She rubbed his hands between hers. "Why… Why are your hands so cold? I'll

go call the doctor." She worried over him.

She stood up and went to call the doctor.

She hadn't noticed that Muchen had not said a single word to her since he had woken up.

The doctor was quick to arrive. He gave Muchen a quick once-over before leaving.

It was just the two of them left in the room. Muchen was still very pale. She shivered under his blank stare.

"Qin Muchen, you…" She wanted to explain last night's events. But it didn't seem right to talk about it when he had

just woken up.

Muchen stared at her for a long time before finally saying something.

It was just two words. "Get out."

The cold, emotionless order to get out was like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water all over Ziyue.
