âNuan Nuan.â
Mo Jingshen put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her messy hair away from her neck.
As soon as Ji Nuan saw him bending over to carry her up, she ran to him and her hand gripped his sleeve tightly.
Mo Jingshen carried her up carefully and intently from the floor. Although Ji Nuan was trembling hard all over in his arms, he just put her on the bed as if he didnât see the others at all.
Although Ji Nuan was scared and repelled almost everyone, she didnât repel Mo Jingshenâs approach and even depended on him.
Or to be exact, she gave no response when Mo Jingshen picked her up and just let him help her with her hair and clothes, pick her up from the floor, and put her to bed.
Even when a maidservant that Ji Nuan was very familiar with handed her a glass of water, she almost lost her temper.
But Mo Jingshen was different to her.
The cool, tall man sat on the bedside and put his hand on hers that was gripping the corner of the quilt nervously. His voice was placid and appeasing. âIâll ask them to leave here. Take a rest. Donât be nervous, OK?â
He seemed to be asking for her opinion, but actually not.
Ji Nuan didnât speak but under his gaze, her body didnât shake as hard as just now.
He looked at her pale little face and continued to ask gently, âDo you have a headache because you donât recognize them or because you have a memory that bothers you?â
She still remained silent but raised her hand and tapped her head. Obviously, she was having a headache.
Seeing her like this, Mo Jingshen didnât ask her anymore but tucked her in, got up, and turned his eyes to the two men standing at the door who were stunned at this scene.
Seeing Mo Jingshen come over, Ji Hongwen frowned. âJingshen, whatâs wrong with Nuan Nuan? Didnât you say she was just sick? Was she... badly injured? She was injured in the head?â
Xiao Zhenjun also looked with a frown at Ji Nuan who didnât recognize him at all. Normally, no matter how reluctant Ji Nuan was to return to the Xiao family, she could still talk with him calmly and sensibly. Even if she didnât want to listen to him, she would listen to him quietly.
But now Ji Nuan...
He couldnât imagine what she had been through.
So Xiao Zhen stared at Mo Jingshen solemnly, âWhat exactly happened to her?â
The tall, handsome man looked at them coldly and his low and deep voice sounded even colder. âThe security facilities in Yu Garden are well-developed. If you werenât Ji Nuanâs elders, you would have been driven out now. Chairman Ji, Chairman Xiao, now youâve seen her current situation. Please give her some space and donât come to stimulate her anymore.â
Mo Jingshen shielded Ji Nuan who lay on the bed behind him and looked at Xiao Zhenjun who still frowned angrily. âI know Chairman Xiao wants to take her back because the Xiao family has very a good medical-care team and you want to help Ji Nuan. But as youâve seen, she is delirious now. If you take her to another place, no one will know what will happen. Chairman Xiao, please consider her physical condition and donât force her.â
Xiao Zhenjunâs face slightly darkened. He could tell that although Mo Jingshen spoke politely, he was warning him.
He looked at Ji Nuan and said coldly, âCEO Mo, my daughter was just fine a few months ago. She just knew who her real dad was, and I was trying to make up for her, but now she became like this. Arenât you to blame for this?â
Ji Hongwen frowned and interrupted him. âJingshen has a deep affection for Nuan Nuan. He would rather hurt himself than let her suffer any harm. I know how he treats Ji Nuan. You donât have to blame him at such a time. Didnât you see how dependent Nuan Nuan was on him? She couldnât recognize me who brought her up or you who are her biological father, but she completely trusted Jingshen. So why are you blaming Jingshen?â
Xiao Zhenjunâs face grew darker and retorted, âOur medical-care team is very professional. If Nuan Nuan canât go to the Xiao family, Iâll send the medical-care team here and keep them here 24 hours a day to treat her.â
Mo Jingshen gave a faint sneer. âShe was so scared when she saw you. Guess how she will react when you send more strangers here? Do you want to make her break down?â
âSo why did she suddenly become like this? What on earth happened?â Xiao Zhenjun stared at him.
Although Xiao Zhenjun just wanted to bring his daughter home and didnât mean to quarrel with him, he was still irritated when he saw Mo Jingshenâs indifferent eyes.
Her daughter didnât want to go back home when she was healthy. Now she was seriously ill and he could have taken this chance to treat her well and make up for her, but in addition to Ji Hongwen, now even Mo Jingshen flatly refused him to approach his own daughter.
There was a cold smile on Mo Jingshenâs handsome face. He said flatly, âChairman Xiao, donât bother. I also have the most professional and experienced doctors here, and after these days of treatment, Ji Nuanâs headache has eased off a lot. Iâve also found new drugs developed by some good research institutes to treat her, and it wonât be long before she recovers. Chairman Xiao, even if you want to make up with your daughter, youâd better wait until sheâs sober. Otherwise, if I give her to you now, I wonât be able to give her a reasonable explanation after sheâs sober.â
At this time, Ji Hongwen took a step forward and said anxiously, âHow soon will she be ok? Donât let her go out and run about. Jingshen, you must keep an eye on her.â
Mo Jingshen took a look at Ji Hongwen. âDonât worry. Iâm on vacation now and will be by her side every day.â
Ji Hongwen sighed and looked at Ji Nuan who hid in the quilt and only showed her eyes looking at them. Now he couldnât do anything but waited for her to recover.
Since Mo Jingshen said he had found new drugs for her that could shorten the length of the disease, she would recover soon. He could only wait. Although he was her father, he couldnât do anything for her now.
Fortunately, the one Ji Nuan relied on was Mo Jingshen not someone who harbored evil intentions.
Thinking of this, Ji Hongwen glanced at Xiao Zhenjun.
