CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 186: CONCERN

Ling Yueyue stood there in a daze, watching as Huo Junmo carried Ye Anxin away without looking back. Her heart suddenly felt a pang, and she touched her injured right elbow, feeling slightly disoriented.

Just now, it wasn’t only Anxin who got hurt; she was injured too! But Anxin’s injury was on her knee, while her injury was on her elbow! However, it seemed like he didn’t notice her at all!

Thinking of this, Ling Yueyue abruptly snapped out of it and slapped her cheeks with force.

Ling Yueyue, what are you thinking! Anxin’s leg is injured, and she can’t walk. As a man, it’s natural for Huo Junmo to carry her in. How could you think like this?

Before, at school, didn’t Su Yichen also carry her quite well!

That’s right... You definitely can’t let your thoughts run wild, absolutely not!

Ling Yueyue shook her head vigorously to rid herself of those inappropriate thoughts, then quickly followed them inside.

Ye Anxin was suddenly picked up by Huo Junmo, and by the time she came to her senses, they had already entered the gates of Huo Tian Group.

Being held in Huo Junmo’s arms, Ye Anxin felt all sorts of uncomfortable and couldn’t help but struggle violently, "Mr. Huo, I can walk on my own. Please put me down quickly!"

Awakened by Ye Anxin’s words, Huo Junmo only then realized his previous actions were quite inappropriate, so he carried Ye Anxin to the reception area of Huo Tian Group and carefully placed her on a leather armchair.

Huo Junmo apologized with sincerity, "I’m sorry for being so abrupt just now!"

Ye Anxin shook her head repeatedly. Although she felt a bit embarrassed, she sincerely said, "It’s okay, it’s okay! I should be thanking you, Mr. Huo!"

"I’ll go check on Yueyue!" Now that they were at the Huo Tian Group, Ye Anxin was safe, so Huo Junmo felt relieved and turned around, ready to find Yueyue.

Just as he turned, Ling Yueyue came face to face with him, "No need, I’m here!"

Seeing her in such a disheveled state, Huo Junmo asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Ling Yueyue unconsciously moved her injured elbow, smiled, and replied nonchalantly, "I’m fine!"

Hearing this, Huo Junmo nodded in relief.

At this moment, the security captain approached and reported honestly, "President, we couldn’t stop the car or catch the person, but we did record the license plate number!"

Huo Junmo nodded and calmly instructed, "Alright, go find an orthopedic doctor!"

"Yes!" The security captain accepted the order and turned to leave.

After the receptionist brought three cups of coffee, Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue sat across from Ye Anxin, and Huo Junmo asked, "What exactly happened?"

"It’s like this!" Ling Yueyue then recounted the event from beginning to end.

Huo Junmo lowered his eyes, carefully pondering Ling Yueyue’s words.

Ling Yueyue continued, "From start to finish, I was with Anxin, so I don’t know who the target of that Buick was! Anxin has a good temperament and has never offended anyone! Although I am usually quite outspoken, I have never made such a deep enmity with anyone that they would try to run us over!"

Huo Junmo said thoughtfully, "I will look into it and arrange for someone to send you home later. This matter cannot be hidden from Beiting, and from now on, you must have someone to accompany you in and out! That person didn’t succeed this time; there will definitely be a next time! Until we catch that person, you must behave and not run around everywhere!"

Ye Anxin thought over Huo Junmo’s words carefully and nodded in agreement, "Now that I’m injured, I certainly can’t hide it from Uncle! I’ll tell him when I get home!"

"Okay!" Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue nodded simultaneously.

Not long after, the security captain had brought an orthopedic doctor from the nearest hospital to Huo Tian Group, who carefully treated Ye Anxin’s wound and bandaged it with gauze.

"It’s just a scrape, no bone issues. I’ve applied medication to the wound, and you should follow up at the hospital later. If it scabs, then there’s no more problem!" The doctor explained while cleaning up the medical box he brought.

Ye Anxin nodded and thanked him, "Okay, thank you, doctor!"

To be sure, before leaving, the doctor asked again, "Is there anyone else injured? I don’t want to make another trip later!"

Ye Anxin looked at Ling Yueyue, "Yueyue, you fell with me earlier. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Ling Yueyue instinctively touched her sore elbow and shook her head, "No, it’s fine!"

Her subtle action didn’t escape Huo Junmo’s sharp eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly grabbed her arm, directly rolling up her sleeve.

Because of his actions, Ling Yueyue inhaled sharply in pain, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

When her sleeve was rolled up, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but gasp, "Oh my, Yueyue, your arm is so swollen!"

Although Ling Yueyue’s elbow wasn’t broken or bleeding, it was swollen like a steamed bun.

Earlier, she was wearing long sleeves and a thin jacket, so it couldn’t be seen! Now with the sleeve rolled up, the injuries on her elbow were exposed.

"It’s nothing, really. I’ll just roll a heated egg over it when I get home!" Ling Yueyue chuckled self-consciously, trying to pull her arm back from Huo Junmo.

To her surprise, not only did Huo Junmo not let go, but he tightened his grip on her arm, his brow furrowed as he said sternly, "It’s this swollen, and you say it’s nothing! Doctor, come over and take a look at her!"

"Hmm!" As a professional orthopedic doctor, one glance could tell the injury on this arm was more serious than the knee.

"I’m really fine; I’m absolutely fine!" Ling Yueyue was still shaking her head, but Huo Junmo wouldn’t allow her to refuse. He forcefully sat her down on a chair and let the doctor check her elbow.

The doctor pressed gently on her swollen elbow, immediately causing Ling Yueyue to break out in a cold sweat.

The doctor carefully examined her, "Miss, your muscles and bones are injured; it’s much more serious than that young lady’s! As the saying goes, bone injuries take a hundred days to heal. The young lady will fully recover in at most ten days, but you will need at least half a month. If not treated well, it might cause persistent problems, bringing discomfort during rainy weather!"

Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Ling Yueyue immediately felt two sharp stares directed at her.

Feeling guilty, Ling Yueyue cleared her throat twice and said a bit sheepishly, "Ahem! It’s not as serious as you say! Back in the day, I’ve had such injuries before, and they were never as terrifying as you make it sound!"

Being questioned about his expertise, the doctor’s face changed instantly, "If you don’t believe me, I will leave. You can find a better doctor to look at it—I am not exaggerating!" With that, he was about to leave with his medical box.

Huo Junmo gave Ling Yueyue a warning look and said in a deep voice, "Don’t listen to her. Just handle it as you see fit!"
