After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu turned to leave, but Mu Chenxi immediately reached out and pulled him back, saying weakly, "Don't go, it really hurts."

Zhou Yu was startled and immediately bent down, "What should we do? How about we get some medicine... um!"

Mu Chenxi couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed the back of Zhou Yu's head with both hands and kissed him deeply.

This works better than any painkiller.

……

The next day, Mu Chenxi was still asleep in the ward.

Zhou Yu was by her bedside scrolling through his phone when, at 10 a.m. today, the media released a piece of news that caused a sensation throughout Yuncheng.

The brakes on the vehicle driven by Xu Xinran failed, and it sped off the overpass.

The car crashed and people died.

Xu Xinran... is dead.

Staring at the images of the explosion and devastation on his phone, Zhou Yu was completely dazed.

Xu Xinran... is dead.

How is this possible?

As Zhou Yu scrolled down, he saw the blood-soaked body, now blurred with mosaics, and he had to accept the reality.

I feel a tightness in my chest, and a bit upset.

He suddenly remembered the pain he felt in his past life when he and Xu Xinran were husband and wife, and how she drove him to the brink of despair.

The despair of being tortured in prison in my past life is still vivid in my mind.

I wonder if Xu Xinran felt any heartache or sadness when she learned that he had died in prison?

he does not know.

Maybe not.

After all, she hated him so much.

In this lifetime, Xu Xinran, however, made a mistake and actually developed an interest in him.

Unfortunately, they've already missed their chance, and there's no possibility of it ever happening again.

These... have all become memories of the past.

Zhou Yu sat on the edge of the bed, his thin frame gazing at the sunlight streaming through the window, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions.

I never imagined that the trajectory of my past life would be so completely distorted in this life.

Xu Xinran's departure was also so sudden.

Xu Xinran, if there is an afterlife, let's not meet again.

We should never have even the slightest interaction again.

They live in different worlds, forever separated.

After a long while, as the sunlight gradually filled Zhou Yu's eyes, he slowly came back to his senses.

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes to look at the pale yet beautiful woman on the hospital bed, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

In this life, having Mu Chenxi is enough for him.

Although they went through many ups and downs and had so many misunderstandings with each other, they finally made it through, didn't they?

Zhou Yu smiled with tears welling up in his eyes, and then, with a soft thud, a tear fell onto the woman's face.

He was about to reach out to wipe it when Mu Chenxi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the next second she opened her eyes. But because she had just woken up, there was still a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Startled that the woman would suddenly wake up, Zhou Yu jumped out of bed. "Wait here, I'll go get the doctor! You stay here and don't move!"

Seeing the boy's anxious face, Mu Chenxi gradually came to her senses, nodded with a smile on her pale lips, and said, "Mm."

Zhou Yu walked out of the suite, intending to take the elevator down, but to his surprise, the elevator was broken.

Left with no other option, Zhou Yu had to climb the stairs down.

The suite is on the twelfth floor, and Mu Chenxi's attending physician is on the third floor.

For the first time in his life, Zhou Yu felt the sorrow of the wealthy. He wandered around the stairwell, completely disoriented, not knowing which floor he had reached.

In the narrow stairwell, as Zhou Yu was going down the stairs, he noticed that the motion-activated light on one floor was on. He held onto the handrail and went straight downstairs, where he saw a male nurse wearing a mask, drawing liquid medicine from a small vial with a syringe. The colorless liquid flowing from the needle tip was somewhat frightening.

Zhou Yu didn't pay much attention, but when he brushed past the male nurse as he went downstairs, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the latter's fierce eyes.

Zhou Yu was immediately startled and trembled, then quickly grabbed the stair railing and started walking downstairs.

After walking down two more floors, Zhou Yu looked up and stared blankly at the floor icon above his head, then suddenly slapped his forehead.

Depend on!

We've gone too far!

Frustrated, Zhou Yu could only climb the stairs again, finally reaching the exit on the third floor.

Zhou Yu suddenly slipped and sat down on the ground.

What did he just step on?

Using the light from the motion-activated lamp, he saw a small medicine bottle on the ground.

Why is this medicine name so long?

Zhou Yu frowned in disbelief, but thinking of Mu Chenxi, he didn't have time to think about it anymore. He casually stuffed the small bottle into his pocket and rushed off to find the attending physician.

While Zhou Yu was going around the stairs, the elevator was repaired.

Zhou Yu then took the elevator upstairs with the doctor.

After entering the suite, Mu Chenxi's assistant arrived and was reporting something to her.

Upon seeing Zhou Yu arrive, Mu Chenxi immediately put on a gentle expression, lay on the hospital bed, and cooperated fully with the doctor's treatment and examination.

After examining the wound, the old doctor adjusted his glasses and said, "The tear is quite severe this time, but it's not a big problem. Just take good care of it. You might have a fever tonight. I'll prescribe some medicine for you and put you on an IV drip later."

Zhou Yu smiled broadly, "Okay, okay, thank you, doctor."

After the doctor left, a nurse came in shortly afterward with a syringe.

Mu Chenxi rolled up her sleeves to cooperate with the injection treatment.

Zhou Yu stood by the bed, frowning as he watched the nurse's unprofessional movements, his mind wandering, seemingly lost in thought.

He glanced at the male nurse wearing a mask, then watched him disinfect the woman's arm with a cotton swab, and watched the liquid from the syringe flow out from the needle tip.

The moment the needle touched his lips, the male nurse's lips under his mask curled up slightly. He was about to make his move when he was suddenly stopped by a large hand.

The male nurse paused for a moment, then looked up.

Zhou Yu grabbed the man's wrist, his icy gaze meeting the man's sharp eyes. He then snatched the syringe and held it in his own hand.

The next second, Zhou Yu smiled casually, "Didn't the doctor say to give me an IV drip? Why did you change it to this kind of injection?"

The man's eyes flickered slightly, but he remained expressionless as he said, "It was a last-minute change. Intravenous injection of this kind of anti-inflammatory drug is more effective."

Zhou Yu looked at him for a few seconds, then reached behind him and suddenly pulled something out of his pocket—the small medicine bottle that had caused him to slip in the stairwell.

He recognized the nurse. Although he had only glanced at her briefly, the man's sharp and ruthless eyes were unforgettable, and he remembered her at a glance.

The syringe in his hand was the same one the nurse had taken in the hallway.

Who would be sneaking around in a hospital corridor to get their medication?

Clearly, Zhou Yu's suspicions were correct.

Upon seeing the small medicine bottle in Zhou Yu's hand, the male nurse's pupils shrank instantly, and without thinking, he turned and ran out.

Zhou Yu immediately shouted, "Grab him!"

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards outside immediately rushed towards the door.

Everything happened so suddenly that Mu Chenxi had only just recovered from her shock. She glanced at the doorway, then turned to Zhou Yu, asking, "Is someone trying to harm me?"
