Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 898: Not Blaming

The boatmen were sailing faster at this moment, so they should arrive at the bank ahead of time. After one more night, they should be able to reach Tongzhou port. If she was still not well, then they would get off the boat at Tongzhou and continue along the land instead. Tongzhou was not as convenient as Bingzhou, and it would take some time to get ready for the land trip. That would cost some time.

If she had gotten used to traveling by boat and was getting better, then they did not have to go through Tongzhou.

The water shortened the distance.

Zhou Huaiyu was following Zhou Huaijin when Zhou Huaijin suddenly stopped. He found that something was wrong as he reached the door – what happened in the room?

“What is it?” Zhou Huaiyu asked confusedly.

Zhou Huaijin glanced about and noticed the silver needle on the ground. He picked it up and saw that the silver needle was colored, meaning that the silver needle had been dabbed with water.

And things inside were obviously moved, slightly yet moved.

Zhou Huaijin ran towards Gu Chaoyan’s room with a frown.

He pushed the door open with force, fearing that something may have happened to them. He let out a sigh of relief seeing that the three girls inside were safe and sound.

Good, good!

He had sensed that someone had been here, and that person must be from the pirates. He was so worried – he had not noticed how someone sneaked into the boat.

Zhou Huaijin saw some silver needles by the window inside the room too.

“What happened?” Zhou Huaijin asked. He went to the bedside and took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hands tightly. He was getting really nervous.

Zhou Huaiyu was surprised too – something happened here?

He got startled at the sight of the silver needles by the window – someone had been here!

It was good that they were all well.

Sword One, who was standing next to them, repeated what happened a moment ago as well as how serious the situation had been and how cleverly Elder Miss had reacted to it.

When Sword One finished her story…

Zhou Huaiyu had a complicated look on his face.

She was the smart girl he met at the Saint College – nothing had changed.

Zhou Huaiyu was not sure how he should react to this.

Zhou Huaijin took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hands and said, “I am sorry that I have not protected you well.”

Gu Chaoyan looked at Zhou Huaijin and said calmly, “Don’t blame yourself, Huaijin, that was nothing. I can protect myself. I am not a weak person, and you don’t have to see me as one of the weak either.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

Chaoyan was an excellent and smart girl. He should not have regarded her as some girl who knew nothing about the world.

She and he were sharing the same position. He had just been too worried to remember how capable Chaoyan was.

Zhou Huaiyu asked when the two of them paused their conversation, “We are approaching Tongzhou soon, are we getting off the boat? Lady Chaoyan, are you alright with traveling by boat?”

Zhou Huaiyu hoped that they could continue on the water, because there would be a lot of inconveniences if they traveled on land in Tongzhou.
