472: N City

N City

Gao Wen was rendered speechless by Ye Xin's words. She was like an advocate for Liang Zhou as she said, "I won't be able to find out anything about the Mu family. Liang Zhou can be considered half a family member of the Mu family. Since she can enter the house freely, it'll be easy for her to obtain information. Don't worry, Ye Xin. Liang Zhou is a good person. She's a Buddhist. She's a vegetarian and does many good deeds."0

Ye Xin rolled her eyes at Gao Wen.

At this moment, the doctor and nurses came into the ward. Upon seeing Ye Xin awake, the doctor said with a slight hint of reproach, "Why didn't anyone inform me that the patient has woken up? Prepare her for a few tests to see if there are any problems."

With this, Ye Xin and Gao Wen's conversation was interrupted. Ye Xin had no choice but to let the doctor and nurses examine her. The doctor told her that the concussion was not serious, and she would recover in a day or two. The injury to her right leg was not serious as well. The biggest problem was the burns on her body. The doctor had said she would have to wait some time before she could undergo surgery to remove the scars.

When Ye Xin saw the doctor looking at her meaningfully, she asked, "Will I be able to recover completely?"

The doctor spread his hand and said, "The chances aren't high. You'll definitely need a skin graft. However, you underwent extensive plastic surgery previously so your skin is fragile and thin. We'll have to wait until the burns heal to assess the situation. Oh, right. When the time comes, we'll need the signature from one of your family members."

Ye Xin's body grew cold. Would she not be exposed? Who could she obtain the signature from? Ning Zhe? Mu Chen? She could ask Mu Qing, but as things stood, it would be strange to have Mu Qing sign it. In the end, she tried to calm down by telling herself that Mu Qing would resolve this matter for her.

After Gao Wen respectfully saw the doctor out, Ye Xin said, "Give me your phone. I want to make a call."

Gao Wen was startled. "Who do you want to call?"

Ye Xin did not answer Gao Wen's question. Instead, she asked, "Who else knows I'm here?"

Gao Wen shook her head and said, "Only Liang Zhou and I know you're here. I'm waiting to hear from Liang Zhou so we can plan our next step. Xinxin, don't worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I'll protect you!"

Ye Xin sneered before she said disdainfully, "Protect me? Do you have the capability to protect me? There's only one person who can protect me."

Gao Wen was confused.

Ye Xin naturally did not explain to Gao Wen what she meant. After all, in her opinion, Gao Wen would not understand it even if she had explained it to Gao Wen. She said impatiently, "Give me your phone."

Gao Wen hurriedly brought her phone out and handed it to Ye Xin.

Ye Xin dialed a string of numbers and waited for the call to connect. Alas, no one answered her call. She thought that perhaps the phone number was an unfamiliar one so Mu Qing did not answer the call. Hence, she sent a text message that read: This is Ye Xin. Quickly come and see me.

Ye Xin paused for a moment before she asked, "Which hospital is this?"

Gao Wen quickly replied, "N City's First Hospital."

Ye Xin was stunned. "Why am I in N City?"

"We're afraid you'd be discovered so we brought you here. That place is full of troubles so it's better to avoid it for the time being," Gao Wen replied.

Ye Xin was almost suffocated by the anger that rose in her heart when she heard Gao Wen's words. 'Is she crazy? What kind of logic is that? Is she truly my mother? She's a real jinx!'

Ye Xin asked coldly, "How did you get me to N City?"

Gao Wen frowned. Her daughter's temper really did not change at all. Nonetheless, she still replied, " We expended a lot of effort to bring you here. This place is the best at treating burns. Xinxin, trust me. I won't harm you, and Aunt Liang Zhou won't harm you as well. Once everything passes, you'll be able to return to your identity as the Young Madam of the Mu family. With your injuries and your involvement with a wanted criminal, you'll have a hard time explaining yourself."

Ye Xin rolled her eyes. "What's there to explain? I called for a cab. That's all. Moreover, there's a call record on my phone proving that."
