"Two more days. Right now, I still have some very important things to do."

Huo Yunting was not a coward, but at this moment, he was genuinely afraid that he wouldn't survive the surgery.

He feared that he would never see Song Xingwan again in this lifetime.

She was even more afraid that after she died, Song Xingwan would have no one to take care of her.

"Think it over carefully. If you agree to the surgery, I will convene a team of experts to work through the night to develop a treatment plan."

The situation was urgent, and Fu Yunque dared not waste a single second.

Huo Yunting was very depressed, only muttering softly:

Give me some more time.

"Okay. Call me anytime you've figured it out."

Seeing that Huo Yunting was unwilling to have surgery as soon as possible, Fu Yunque was at a loss.

As she turned to leave the ward, she worried about Ling Mo's safety alone among the group of men, and asked him a question:

"It's almost midnight, do you need me to take you home?"

"No need. I'll take her home myself in a bit."

Qin Beiming noticed that Fu Yunque was being a little too attentive to Ling Mo, and alarm bells went off. He directly rejected Fu Yunque's offer on her behalf.

"That's good."

Fu Yunque nodded, put the pen back into the breast pocket of his white coat, and then strode out of the ward with the two nurses on night shift.

No sooner had he left than Lu Jinjiu, unable to contain his curiosity, asked in a cryptic tone:

"Third sister-in-law, do you know this pretty-boy doctor?"

"A brief encounter."

"You've only met him once?"

Lu Jinjiu wanted to press further, but Huo Yunting suddenly raised his head, looking at Ling Mo with sincere eyes:

"Miss Ling, may I ask you a favor?"

"Tell me. I will do my best to help."

Out of respect for Song Xingwan, Ling Mo's attitude towards Huo Yunting was relatively good.

Having received Ling Mo's promise, Huo Yunting took out a piece of paper with an address written on it from under his pillow. "While I'm gone, please spend more time with Wanwan. She's very afraid of the dark and often wakes up in the middle of the night from nightmares."

"good."

Ling Mo nodded and readily accepted the note.

"And... please give this bottle of medicine to her." Huo Yunting hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to hand the bottle of medicine with the emergency contraception label to Ling Mo.

"This is?"

Upon seeing the words "emergency contraception" on the medicine bottle, Ling Mo instantly understood many things.

She said, "Why did Song Xingwan suddenly become like a different person? She doesn't reply to messages or answer phone calls."

Furthermore, on the way to the ski resort, Qin Beiming had asked her questions such as whether she could forgive her lover's violent behavior.

Now she was certain that Huo Yunting had used violence to assault Song Xingwan.

With that thought, her aura shifted instantly. She abruptly pressed down on Huo Yunting's shoulder and asked, word by word:

"Huo Yunting, what did you do to her?"

"..."

Huo Yunting felt a throbbing pain in his head whenever he thought about how he had hurt Song Xingwan.

After a long silence, he finally mustered the courage to meet Ling Mo's almost fiery gaze:

"Don't tell her I'm in the hospital. Also, please tell her I'm sorry for me."

"What's the point of apologizing now? Don't you think the words 'I'm sorry' are inherently hurtful?"

Ling Mo punched Huo Yunting hard in the face, but still not satisfied, he swung his fist again at Huo Yunting, who was completely unresponsive.

Seeing this, Qin Beiming quickly stepped in front of Huo Yunting and suggested in a deep voice:

"How about we settle the score with Ah Ting after he recovers?"

Birds of a feather flock together.

Ling Mo's eyes turned bloodshot, but he ultimately refrained from swinging his clenched fist at Qin Beiming.

Qin Beiming noticed the disappointment in Ling Mo's eyes and panicked instantly, hurriedly explaining:

"Let me explain, I never expected this to happen either."

"You knew all along, didn't you? Why did you keep it from me?"

"I've thought about telling you everything, but I'm worried that the trust you've built up with me will be destroyed. Plus, so much has happened today that I haven't had time to think about how to tell you this."

"Do you still have any credibility?"

Ling Mo was furious and wouldn't listen to Qin Beiming's explanation. After coldly asking him a question, he hurriedly left the ward, wanting to get to Song Xingwan's residence as soon as possible.

"It's so late, let me take you there."

Seeing this, Qin Beiming quickly followed Ling Mo out of the ward.

Unexpectedly, Ling Mo deliberately avoided him, disappearing as soon as he left the ward.

"Third Brother, what's wrong with Sister Mo?"

Gu Tingbai, who was following closely behind Qin Beiming, looked completely bewildered and had no idea why Ling Mo was angry with Qin Beiming.

This mess was clearly caused by Huo Yunting; it had absolutely nothing to do with Qin Beiming.

In fact, even Ling Mo didn't understand why she was so angry.

She naturally knew that Qin Beiming and Huo Yunting did not live together, so it was impossible for Qin Beiming to monitor Huo Yunting's every move in real time.

Logically speaking, she should have no reason to be angry with Qin Beiming.

But for some reason, she always felt like she had been deceived, and there was a lump in her throat that she couldn't swallow.

"MoMo, where have you been all day?"

Ling Yunlong, who was smoking in silence in the hospital corridor, saw Ling Mo rushing over and quickly stopped her, asking in an unfriendly tone.

Su Yu caught sight of Ling Mo's figure and instantly became fierce. She jumped up from her seat in the corridor, assuming a fighting stance, and shouted at the top of her lungs:
