Huo Yulin gathered his thoughts. He looked at Chen Ming. “How did my sister get me out of the institute?”

Even though his face was ghastly pale, his eyes looked deep and bright.

Chen Ming was holding a glass of water, but he tightened his hands slightly when he made eye contact with Huo Yulin. He sighed inwardly. He just knew there was no keeping this from Huo Yulin, so he came clean immediately. “Miss Huo’s friend helped her. She didn’t go personally. She just waited outside for you to come out.”

Before Huo Yulin lost consciousness, the last thing he remembered was the parking lot. He paused before asking. “What about my injuries?”

“Miss Huo treated you,” said Chen Ming candidly.

Huo Yulin moved his fingers slightly as he held his cup. He asked again. “Did she help me previously as well?”

Chen Ming went quiet briefly and then nodded.

Since Huo Yulin already had an inkling of the truth, it made no sense to continue hiding it from him.

Even if Chen Ming did not tell him the truth, it was just a matter of time before Huo Yulin learned of it from someone else.

After contemplating briefly, Chen Ming caved in and explained. “Young Master Yulin, you wanted to hide this from Miss Huo first, so she decided to pretend that she did not know about it.”

Huo Yulin went speechless.

This meant everyone knew what he had done, but kept acting around him. He was the only person completely oblivious.

Chen Ming cleared his throat. He had prepared a straw in advance, so he placed it in the glass before approaching Huo Yulin. “Why don’t you take a sip?”

Huo Yulin went quiet.

He felt pain coming arising his chest again. He inhaled deeply before continuing with the subject. “Where is she now?”

He undoubtedly caught Chen Ming freezing briefly when he had first asked about Huo Yao.

“She is naturally at school at this hour of the day,” replied Chen Ming softly.

“I can tell that you are hiding something from me, okay,” said Huo Yulin as he pushed himself off the bed and tried to sit up.

The moment he tried to move, he slumped back onto the bed limply.

Chen Ming hurriedly put aside the glass of water and placed Huo Yulin against the pillow gently. He clarified himself. “Miss Huo is fine.”

Huo Yulin leaned against the headboard limply, but he kept scrutinizing Chen Ming. “I don’t believe you.”

Chen Ming did not dare to make eye contact with Huo Yulin and simply handed him the water and gestured for him to take a sip.

Huo Yulin did not budge and kept looking at Chen Ming intently until Chen Ming finally could not take it.

“Miss Huo overexerted herself when she tried to save you, so she has been resting during this time,” stammered Chen Ming.

Min Yu had mentioned Huo Yao would probably regain consciousness today, so he decided to come clean with Huo Yulin. He was still a patient, and could not afford to get agitated.

“What do you mean? How long has she been sleeping for?” Huo Yulin frowned.

His lips were white and dry. He was already injured previously. Now that he nearly died a second time around, he was naturally very weak.

Chen Ming replied. “Today is the fifth day.”

Huo Yulin paused briefly and said, “Does this mean she has been unconscious for five days?”

Chen Ming pursed his lips with his head lowered without answering.

Huo Yulin instantly felt terrible.

He was a doctor, so he knew the severity of his injuries.

He was considered to be extremely lucky to have survived the first gunshot wound. When he escaped the second time, it was considered a miracle.

When he injected the syringe of cardiac stimulant into himself, he knew it was just a desperate attempt. Even if he managed to walk out of the institute alive, he would end up dead eventually.
