Seeing Qi Yanjue's upper body wrapped in thick bandages, Song Yueying's lips twitched. Her actions outpaced her thinking; she pulled the sheet up to cover his chin.

The speed was so fast that even Qi Yanjue was stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing!" The nurse screamed in fright at Song Yueying's rough actions. "He's seriously injured! What if his wounds reopen if you push him so hard?"

Are you trying to kill him?

The nurse stared at Song Yueying as if she were looking at a heinous murderer.

"The doctor is standing right here, what right do you have to bark like a dog?" Song Yueying glanced at the nurse dismissively.

"You..." The nurse was speechless after being rebuked.

Although Dr. Zhao was also taken aback by Song Yueying's decisive and extremely impolite actions, he was more worried about Qi Yanjue's condition and immediately went forward to check on him.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I made sure the wound hadn't reopened.

"Logically speaking, someone in his condition should be unconscious." Dr. Zhao was completely baffled. "But the fact is, he's awake now. It's a miracle!"

Miracles—people love to blame miracles for things that don't make sense. Song Yueying pursed her lips, ignoring Dr. Zhao's words, and looked at the man lying on the hospital bed.

That said, he woke up a bit early.

Song Yueying looked puzzled. She knew best the effects of the gas weapon she had developed.

Dr. Zhao, observing Song Yueying, naturally noticed the confusion on her face. He was quite puzzled; he sensed a certain unease in Song Yueying's gaze towards Qi Yanjue…

It seems quite unfamiliar.

"When you brought him to the hospital, you kept saying you were his family member, didn't you?" the nurse questioned Song Yueying with displeasure. "What are you pretending to be now?"

"Now they're rushing back to fawn over you, they're really shameless!"

Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted. Song Yueying slowly turned to look at the nurse, and the words of retort flowed from her lips. "Although I am not his family member, I was the one who brought him to the hospital."

"I'm kind-hearted, and I'll see this through to the end. I'll come back and see if there's anything wrong with him?"

"You..." The nurse could only glare at Song Yueying's dress with resentment, her eyes filled with hatred. After a long while, she finally managed to utter, "You're lying, you're shameless."

Dr. Zhao frowned as she looked at the nurse. As a medical professional, was it really appropriate for her to treat the patient's family so badly?

Lying in the hospital bed, Qi Yanjue's face darkened upon hearing the nurse's words.

"Where did I lie? And how am I shameless?" Song Yueying continued slowly before the nurse could answer, "You're just making baseless accusations against me."

"They're deliberately defaming me, I'm going to file a complaint..." Suddenly realizing that people in this era don't just say "complain," Song Yueying decisively changed her tune.

"I'm going to report you."

"I acted bravely and took the injured to the hospital, and I also kindly bought fruit to visit them."

"You nurse, it was one thing for you to ask me all sorts of questions before, but now you're accusing me of lying and saying I'm shameless."

"Your hospital has to give me an explanation, and you need to tell me clearly where I lied and where I acted shamelessly."

Although she made a fuss about it a bit, so what if she did?

“You…you…you…” The nurse pointed at Song Yueying, trembling with anger.

At the same time, she chickened out, afraid that Song Yueying would actually report her.

Previously, Dr. Zhao was focused on treating Qi Yanjue and hadn't paid much attention to the nurse's attitude towards Song Yueying. Now, he understood clearly that the nurse was acting out of resentment and jealousy.

Without further hesitation, he glanced coldly at the nurse and said sternly to Song Yueying, "Comrade, I will truthfully report your words to the hospital leadership."

"Dr. Zhao, how could you speak up for her? We'll be comrades from now on." The nurse couldn't believe he was siding with an outsider instead of his colleague.

The nurse glared at Song Yueying with venomous hatred, her eyes filled with a desire to devour her alive. But she dared not say anything more, her lips trembling, and she almost staggered as she turned and fled the ward.

Only three people remained in the ward.

Dr. Zhao gave Qi Yanjue a complicated and unreadable look, sighed silently, and quickly left.

After Dr. Zhao and the nurse left, Qi Yanjue, lying on the hospital bed, stared at Song Yueying for a long time. He asked in a low voice, "Did you tell her that I'm not your family member?"

"Yes." Song Yueying nodded. "You're not my family member, so I can't just lie and say you are!"

"Song Yueying, I am Qi Yanjue." Qi Yanjue narrowed his eyes and sized her up.

What trick is she up to now? A hint of disgust flashed in his deep eyes. He stared intently at her face, trying to see the sullenness and guilty conscience in her expression.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed; her face showed only calm and composure.

Qi Yanjue suddenly wanted to ask her how she could be so calm and composed? She still looked at him as if he were a stranger.

He came to her to get a divorce, but her feigned ignorance was infuriating. Knowing she had remarried, he realized he was no longer her family.

“Qi Yanjue? I don’t know him.” Song Yueying shook her head honestly. Suddenly, she thought of something, blinked, and looked at Qi Yanjue with a look of doubt and shock.

He... knew her name, no, he knew the original owner's name, he knew the original owner.

Oh no! She's run into someone who knows the original owner of this body, but she's not the original owner, so it'll be easy for her to be exposed! She's definitely going to pay his medical bills; there's no way she can get away with it...

Sigh, money, money! Money isn't the problem, the problem is she has no money right now.

"Don't you recognize me?" Qi Yanjue curled his lips in a mocking smile, looking at Song Yueying with a strange expression.

The woman who was so determined to marry him a year ago is now saying she doesn't know him. Yet, her expression doesn't seem feigned, nor does it seem like she's just being stubborn.

Seeing that he didn't speak, fearing he would notice the difference between her and the original owner, Song Yueying raised her hand to touch her forehead, feigning a weak appearance, and looked at Qi Yanjue expectantly.

He said weakly, "Well, I hit my head on the wall, I must have had a concussion. I'm still a little dizzy and my memory is a bit hazy."

My memories are all jumbled up, so it's normal that I don't remember him.

Qi Yanjue was a shrewd man; how could he not see that her weakness was an act? He decided to subtly extract information from her.

"What happened to the injury on your forehead?" He intended to figure out this strange thing first.

Miscalculation! She'd inadvertently dug herself a hole. Song Yueying groaned inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, insisting, "Didn't I just say there's no injury on my forehead? You must have mistaken me."

"I couldn't have been wrong." Qi Yanjue narrowed his eyes dangerously and said in a deep voice, "I saw you smash your head against the wall, your head bleeding, and you collapsed to the ground."

"When you woke up, your forehead was still bleeding profusely."

"This person isn't easy to fool," Song Yueying thought to herself, but still insisted, "You've just made a mistake."
