Qiao An could only sit back in her chair in disappointment and watch as Huo Xiaoran and Mrs. Lu entered the emergency room.

Xiao Yue gritted her teeth in anger. “We came for nothing.”

Qiao An looked at Father Lu’s departing figure and smiled. “Not necessarily. At least I know that the person who saved Lu Mo is her father.”

Puzzled, Xiao Yue touched Qiao An’s forehead and teased, “You don’t have a fever, do you? It’s because it is Lu Mo’s father that we can’t find evidence.”

Qiao An looked at Xiao Yue with a mysterious smile. She pulled Xiao Yue out of her chair and led her to the doctor’s introduction board on the first floor of the hospital.

Xiao Yue saw Father Lu’s introduction and suddenly understood.

“So he’s an expert in neurosurgery. How can he treat Lu Mo? Lu Mo has breast cancer?”

Qiao An gestured for Xiao Yue to continue reading. The introductory column introduced that not only was Father Lu good at neurosurgery, but he was also good at some tumor diseases in other departments. Moreover, there was a slight mention of breast cancer.

After reading the introduction, Xiao Yue muttered, “Looks like there’s no problem with him treating Lu Mo.”

But Qiao An scoffed. “Everyone probably thinks the same thing you do. The daughter is sick, and the all-powerful doctor’s father is personally treating her. That’s touching. But…”

Qiao An paused and Xiao Yue looked at her steadily.

Qiao An continued to analyze, “If Lu Mo’s condition is really critical, as a father who loves his daughter, shouldn’t he invite a specialist to treat her?”

Xiao Yue covered her mouth in shock.

Qiao An’s speculation was clearly more logical.

“Sister Qiao An, so Lu Mo is pretending to be sick, right?”

Qiao An smiled slyly. “If we want to further prove that she’s pretending to be sick, I think we just have to ask Brother Xiaoran for confirmation.”

Xiao Yue asked in confusion, “How?”

Qiao An’s eyes were deep. “I think the Lu family will definitely use Lu Mo’s illness to force Brother Xiaoran to marry him. We’ll ask Brother Xiaoran later.”

Inside the emergency room.

The pale light landed on Lu Mo’s face, making her face especially pale. Even her lips were frighteningly white.

She slowly opened her eyes and smiled weakly when she saw Huo Xiaoran, but she didn’t even have the strength to speak.

Mrs. Lu’s heart ached for Lu Mo. She held Lu Mo’s hand and cried sadly, “Momo, my poor daughter.”

Lu Mo shouted with difficulty, “Mom…” Her voice was as low as dust.

Mrs. Lu’s eyes were red and tears rolled down her face.

“Momo, don’t say anything. Mom knows you’re upset. Don’t say anything and take care of yourself.”

Lu Mo’s gaze shifted to Huo Xiaoran and she slowly reached out. Huo Xiaoran reached out and held her cold hand.

Huo Xiaoran’s heart ached for Lu Mo’s weakness. He comforted gently, “Momo, you’ll be fine.”

Lu Mo opened her mouth and her low voice sounded faintly. “Senior, I might not be able to be your bride. This is the greatest regret of my life.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Momo, don’t be so pessimistic. You’ll get better. Your pathology hasn’t reached the point of despair.”

Lu Mo had almost forgotten that Huo Xiaoran was also an outstanding doctor. No matter how serious her clinical symptoms were, they could not hide the fake and insignificant data on her checkup report.

After all, she still wanted to change her condition after marrying Huo Xiaoran. Therefore, her test results could not be so realistic, let alone reflect the data of critical patients.

That would give her away too easily.

After visiting Lu Mo, Mrs. Lu and Huo Xiaoran walked out of the ward.

Mrs. Lu stopped Huo Xiaoran and begged, “Xiaoran, Momo’s illness is getting worse. I’m afraid she won’t be able to last long. Her last wish is to marry you. Xiaoran, can you marry her?”

Huo Xiaoran paused. At that moment, Qiao An’s charming appearance inexplicably appeared in his mind.

His deep eyes shot out a flirtatious scheming light. “After Li Changhai is captured, I’ll marry Lu Mo.”

Mrs. Lu felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her. However, she barely maintained her smile. “Then what if you can’t catch him for the rest of my life? Do you want Momo to wait for you for the rest of her life? Can she wait?”

Huo Xiaoran said coldly, “So, I hope that Auntie can help the police capture Li Changhai as soon as possible.”

Mrs. Lu was stunned.

She felt a chill in her heart. She vaguely felt that Huo Xiaoran had clearly blamed her for Li Changhai’s crime against Qiao An.

Did he suspect her?

Huo Xiaoran did not give Mrs. Lu any respect and strode away.

Huo Zhou, who was waiting outside, went up and walked side by side with Huo Xiaoran.

“Where are those two girls?” Huo Xiaoran looked around and couldn’t help but ask when he didn’t see Qiao An and Xiao Yue.

Huo Zhou shrugged and said, “Don’t you think those two women were acting suspiciously today? When you went to see Lu Mo, they were whispering to each other. Then, they didn’t care about their injured feet and ran off somewhere to fool around.”

Huo Xiaoran’s eyes were filled with pity. “They’re just two women who don’t know anything about the world.”

Huo Zhou said, “Yueyue is really innocent, but Qiao An is not. After falling out with the Li family, she still managed to escape unscathed. She’s not an ordinary person.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Huo Zhou coldly.

Huo Zhou was dumbfounded. “Forget I said that.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “That’s because I secretly helped her. Otherwise, do you really think she has the ability to go unscathed?”

Huo Zhou clearly didn’t believe Huo Xiaoran’s weak explanation. However, he didn’t dare to be rash with Huo Xiaoran. After all, Qiao An was his favorite.

As the two men took the elevator down, they happened to bump into Qiao An and Xiao Yue. The two of them were holding candied hawthorns in their hands. When they saw them, they smiled more beautifully than flowers.

Huo Zhou looked at the sticky candy and said with disdain, “Xiao Yue, when did you have such a hobby?”

Huo Xiaoran’s warning gaze shot coldly at Huo Zhou, who was dumbfounded. He was very helpless. Was there a problem with him educating Xiao Yue?

If he had known that Xiao Yue was eating candied hawthorn with Qiao An, he wouldn’t have been so stunned.

Qiao An didn’t really want to eat the candied hawthorn. It was just a prop to hide the fact that they were out fooling around.

Huo Xiaoran really thought that they were hungry. He said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you guys to eat.”

Qiao An didn’t refuse.

She still wanted to find the time to check in with Huo Xiaoran and confirm her guess.

After they moved to the hotel, Qiao An asked Huo Xiaoran indirectly before the waiter served the dishes, “Brother Xiaoran, how’s Doctor Lu’s condition?”
