Mu Yanci walked over to Kuang Ye’s side.
“Do you know something?”
Kuang Ye then recounted Mu Wan’s ramblings and the situation regarding the medication, Sertraline. The Mu family immediately turned pale, as they all knew what Sertraline was. If Mu Wan had shown these symptoms earlier, then her words earlier couldn’t have been a result of the shock from Kuang Ye’s injury.
Kuang Ye’s voice was dry, and a look of pain crossed his face.
“I proposed to Mu Wan yesterday. She agreed and said she would tell me everything tonight.”
“But I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect the truth to be so cruel.”
At this point, Wang Lan was already crying uncontrollably. She held Mu Wan’s hand to her forehead. Her precious daughter, who would cry for hours when she was little over the smallest scrape. How much pain must she have felt when she was killed in her past life?
Mu Jianhua and Mu Yanci’s eyes were also red-rimmed. Mu Jianhua quickly wiped his tears, opened the door, and walked out, his voice full of anger.
“I’ll go ask the police if they’ve caught that beast.”
By the time Mu Wan woke up, it was already midnight. The three members of the Mu family were all in the hospital room. Although the VIP ward was large, it couldn’t fit so many people. Therefore, Mu Jianhua and Mu Yanci slept on the hospital’s accompanying beds. At this moment, their long legs were awkwardly hanging outside, looking cramped and uncomfortable.
“Mu Wan, you’re awake?”
Wang Lan, who had been sleeping next to Mu Wan, immediately noticed she was awake. Hearing her voice, the three men in the room also opened their eyes. Mu Jianhua and Mu Yanci got up from the beds and walked over to her.
“Mu Wan, don’t be afraid. This time, Dad, Mom, and your brother will definitely protect you.”
Mu Wan remembered what she had said before fainting. Looking at the weary faces of her family, she felt a bit guilty.
“Mom, Dad, Gege, I’m sorry for making you worry.”
“By the way, where’s Kuang Ye? Has he woken up?”
If it were the past, Wang Lan would’ve surely chided her, saying, “You know your boyfriend is here.” But after hearing what Kuang Ye did for her in the past life, she almost wanted to rush to the civil affairs bureau to register their marriage right away. A marriage that only came about after two lifetimes.
She pointed to the bed beside her.
“He’s awake.” Then she leaned closer and whispered in Mu Wan’s ear,
“He also heard what you said about being reborn.”
Mu Wan’s expression immediately changed, and she turned to look at Kuang Ye, feeling a bit nervous.
“Kuang Ye, you heard everything?”
Kuang Ye nodded, watching her tightly grip the blanket, and gently spoke,
“Mu Wan, don’t worry. I can handle it. I’m just glad that in my past life, at least I avenged you.”
And using the sacrifice from the past life to gain this lifetime of happiness with Mu Wan was quite worth it.
Mu Wan’s eyes started to fill with tears again.
“Don’t do anything foolish in the future.”
Kuang Ye nodded.
“This time, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
As long as Mu Wan is safe, he wouldn’t do anything reckless.
The three members of the Mu family exchanged looks, feeling like they were irrelevant in the room.
Finally, Mu Jianhua cleared his throat, changing the conversation from a one-on-one to a group discussion, and said to Mu Wan,
“The police didn’t catch the kidnapper yesterday. He was wearing a mask, and when he saw the police, he ran into an alley.”
“Mu Wan, do you remember what the kidnapper looked like?”
Mu Wan nodded.
“After I died, my soul lingered around him, so I saw his appearance.”
Mu Jianhua: …
He looked down at the floor tiles. This was a hospital. If souls existed after death, this would definitely be the place with the most souls. Maybe right now there was one above his head. No, no, no, he silently recited, ‘We must discard superstitions and promote science!’ His daughter, Mu Wan, was special, and there was no such unscientific thing in the world.
“Mu Wan, tell me every detail about when you were kidnapped.”
Mu Wan began to recall the events from the day she was kidnapped in her past life.
“That day, I had something to do, so I went to Shui Jiang Road…”
“Wait—”
Kuang Ye suddenly interrupted her, his face dark.
“You said Shui Jiang Road? Is it the one with a row of banks?”
Mu Wan thought for a moment and nodded.
“Yes, that sounds right.”
Mu Jianhua looked at him.
“Kuang Ye, is there something wrong?”
Kuang Ye’s expression turned cold.
“The kidnapper targeted me to get me to call and trick Mu Wan into going to the Shenzhou Bank on Shui Jiang Road.”
Mu Wan’s face turned pale in an instant, and the rest of the Mu family looked grim. Mu Yanci asked,
“Mu Wan, think carefully. Why did you go to Shui Jiang Road in your past life?”
At this moment, Mu Wan felt a chill run down her spine. She had originally thought that being kidnapped in her past life was just bad luck, but could it have been a deliberate setup? After thinking carefully, she said,
“In my past life… I think I was going to buy pastries…”
Wang Lan noticed the flaw.
“You’ve never liked pastries. Why would you suddenly go all the way to buy them?” Shui Jiang Road was quite far from the Mu family villa. Also, that area was full of tourists, and for aesthetics, they didn’t allow parking on the street. This meant she would have to go in alone, without the driver following her.
Mu Wan frowned and racked her brain for a long time before finally remembering.
“It was because of Kuang Shuyu’s moments on WeChat…”
She suddenly covered her mouth, looking toward Kuang Ye with a guilty look.
Kuang Ye smiled.
“Mu Wan, that was in the past. I won’t get jealous. Go ahead and tell me!”
But under the blanket, his hand was almost tearing the sheets apart.
“That dog, Kuang Shuyu!” He thought angrily. “I wouldn’t even let Mu Wan wash a bowl, but you actually had her go buy pastries for you. Aren’t you afraid of choking to death?”
