The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Luo Huai's hair was still wet, as were her clothes, which clung to her body, feeling cold and damp. After the chaos that ensued at the Pei family home, she was left alone in the living room.

She didn't know how long she had been standing there.

It wasn't until Aunt Liu brought over a bowl of steaming ginger soup that she called her several times without getting a response, and then she touched her forehead.

"Ouch, how did you get so burned!"

"Miss Luo Huai, you have a fever! Ginger soup won't help, you need to go to the hospital." Aunt Liu put the ginger soup on the table and was about to take her to the hospital, speeding along the main road in her mini car.

Luo Huai's eyes were half-closed, her cheeks were flushed, and she was huddled in the back of the car, her body alternating between chills and fever, she was already feverish and somewhat unconscious.

While helping the absent-minded Miss Luo Huai, Aunt Liu registered her and took her temperature.

The doctor wrote out a prescription at 39.6 degrees Celsius. Just as Liu Ma received the prescription, the young master of the employer called.

Since Aunt Liu was busy, she ordered the music to be played out loud.

"Master."

"Aunt Liu, cook a bowl of Youyou's favorite vegetable and lean meat porridge, make it very soft, and take it to the hospital."

Pei Yuanzhou's voice.

Luo Huai struggled to open his eyes.

"Okay, Master."

"Yuanzhou, tell Aunt Liu to hurry up. Youyou has a low-grade fever of 37.8 degrees Celsius and hasn't eaten anything all day."

Pei Yuanzhou urged on the phone, and just as he was about to hang up, he remembered the word "Luo" that Liu Ma had just mentioned, and asked again, "What happened to Xiao Huai?"

"Miss Luo Huai, she..."

beep.

Luo Huai hung up the phone. She knew that Aunt Liu wanted to tell Pei Yuanzhou about her high fever, but there was no need.

"Aunt Liu, you can go back now. I'll go get the medicine myself."

"You are like this..."

“Go back. You still have to earn money to support your family. You can’t let me get fired because of you.” Luo Huai forced a smile.

The bleak smile broke Liu Ma's heart.

“Miss Luo Huai, why are you so sensible? It would be so much better to act like Miss Youyou and throw a tantrum.”

I dare not be ignorant.

After all, they were living under someone else's roof.

After Aunt Liu left, there were too many people queuing at the outpatient clinic, so Luo Huai couldn't hold onto a spot and took the prescription to the window to queue up himself.

A person followed behind her, his tall shadow looming over her, creating an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Luo Huai had a splitting headache and felt dizzy and disoriented.

Ultimately, he couldn't hold on and fell backward.

"Damn it, you're trying to scam me!" a deep, irritable voice rang out.

……

Luo Huai opened his eyes and found himself lying on a small hospital bed with an IV needle inserted into the back of his hand. He was surrounded by people receiving IV drips and their families.

She propped herself up and a nurse came over to help her sit up. With a "beep," the nurse took her temperature.

"37.5, low-grade fever, some medicine will do the trick."

"Nurse, where is the person who helped me?" Luo Huai opened his mouth, his throat felt dry and sore, as if he had sand in it.

"Isn't that fierce-looking handsome guy your boyfriend? He's holding a medicine tray in one hand and carrying you like a baby with the other," the nurse said.

Luo Huai shook his head and said no, then thanked him.

She scanned the ward but couldn't find the fierce and strong man the nurse had described. The hospital was so big, she figured she'd be hard-pressed to find him again.

After a while, Luo Huai wanted to go to the toilet, but she had no one to accompany her and was still wearing pants. Looking up, she saw that the IV drip was only half full, so she had to hold it in a little longer.

She rarely gets sick. She only gets sick once or twice occasionally after she went to high school and college. Whenever she gets sick, her brother Yuanzhou is always by her side. If she needs to go to the toilet, her brother Yuanzhou will find a nurse and gently ask her for help.

The nurse will say your boyfriend is so thoughtful.

Yuanzhou would always just smile and never refute her, and she would only lower her head in embarrassment.

The more Luo Huai thought about it, the drier her eyes became. She closed her eyes slightly, waiting for the infusion to finish.

As soon as the nurse removed the needle, she pressed the back of her hand and headed for the bathroom. She couldn't run, because running would only make her more anxious.

The restroom was at the end of the corridor, and the smoking area was across the street. From a distance, Luo Huai could see two big men puffing away, one of them wearing a well-tailored suit and looking very respectable.

The other one was tall and imposing, at least 1.9 meters tall.

A clean-cut buzz cut, a tight black short-sleeved shirt revealing half of his tanned skin and bulging muscles, with numerous abrasions and faint beads of blood seeping from it.

The veins on the back of his hand, which was holding a cigarette, were faintly visible.

He wore a faded red string on his wrist with a copper coin on it.

He's better at training than Yuanzhou, but that's not an exaggeration. Still, he gives off the feeling that he could crush you with one hand.

Seemingly sensing that someone was watching him, the man also looked up. Behind the smoke were a pair of extremely aggressive eyes, with a deep gaze, like a deep whirlpool of the sea that wanted to devour people.

Such eyes, set on a sharply defined face, with a band-aid on his forehead, are truly chilling.

After exchanging a brief glance, Luo Huai looked away, turned into the bathroom, and faintly heard the two talking.

"That family is so damn biased. They only say you hit someone, but they don't mention at all that they smashed your head open with a bottle!"

"This old lady's car accident is definitely related to that bastard! I'll throw him into the sea to feed the fish when I get the chance!"

"Ha!" The man sneered, his deep, magnetic voice carrying a ruthless edge. "A rat from the gutter, I'll crush it in the gutter sooner or later."

After washing her hands, Luo Huai came out. The smoking area was empty, but she didn't think much of it and left the hospital with her medicine.

Unfortunately, we ran into each other again at the hospital entrance.

The two men who had just made threats in the smoking area, one carrying a tattered cloth bag and the other holding a bag of empty bottles, were circling around a short old woman.

"Grandma, please have mercy and stop torturing us two brothers. The doctor hasn't even said we can be discharged yet."

"I'm all better now, don't try to fool me with doctors!" The old lady tilted her head back and berated the man in the suit carrying the tattered bag, making him bow and scrape like a grandson. She then circled around in front of the two men, "Do you see anything wrong with me? How much would it cost to stay in the hospital for a day?"

"My brother and I have already made a fortune, have you forgotten?"

"Don't you spend money to support so many people? Don't you pay their salaries? Is your brother's money his? It's because of money that your brother is hated now." The old lady then turned to look at her eldest grandson, who had a fierce look on his face. "What are you looking at? You look too fierce. Close your eyes!"

The man looked impatient, but still symbolically closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again.

The old lady glared at him again, and he closed his eyes again, then opened them again.

Is it a bit cute amidst its fierce and menacing appearance?

Luo Huai couldn't help but laugh, and after thinking for a moment, he walked towards the old lady.

Before she even got close to the old lady, the man's sharp eyes swept over her, startling her so much that she stopped in her tracks and her face paled.

So fierce.

The man looked at her without saying a word.

She approached the old lady and gently advised, "Grandma, if you don't trust them, go ask the doctor. If the doctor says it's not possible yet, Grandma, don't leave the hospital. What if it gets worse if you leave before you're fully recovered?"

"If it gets worse, the medical expenses will only increase, which is not worth it."

"To treat the same illness twice and pay for it twice is a real waste."

The last two sentences touched the old lady's heart.

The old woman asked uncertainly, "Is that so?"

"Yes."

The man in the suit echoed "Yes, yes," and received a glare in return.

"Alright then." The old lady had no choice but to compromise. The man in the suit immediately followed with a smile, not forgetting to turn his head and remind the man, "Hurry up and sell the bottles that the old lady has been saving these days, otherwise we'll have to make another trip."

The man gave an impatient "hmm," opened his eyes again to look at Luo Huai, and said, "Thank you."

Luo Huai felt even more oppressed when he realized that the person was facing him directly, and there was a fierce aura between his brows.

She had never dealt with people like that before, so she was a little scared, and her eyes looked timid.

Xing Yanzhao thought this little girl was really kind-hearted; she was clearly afraid of him, yet she still dared to come over and persuade the old lady.

Look, the fever has gone down.

Her face turned red before she fell into his arms.

Suddenly, someone fell into his arms. It was a pretty young girl, which startled him. It was the first time he had ever seen someone extort money in front of everyone.

When I carried her to the nurse, it felt like I was huddled up in a fire; it was burning hot.
