“Dr. Huo, you’re very rude tonight.” Su Yu chuckled.

Despite Huo Mian’s rudeness, he felt warm inside, knowing she was angry because she was worried about him.

“I’m being nice to you. If not for your wounds, I’d kick you…”

Huo Mian was angry. She had known Su Yu for years and they were close friends, but he had remained silent when he got wounded.

Huo Mian thought he shouldn’t have done this as her friend.

Su Yu took off his shirt and exposed the wound Nie Lingxuan had left on his chest.

It wasn’t deep but quite long. With blood drying on it, the wound looked ugly.

“I’ll disinfect it first. It will sting a little.”

Huo Mian picked up a wad of medical cotton with a pair of tweezers and dipped it into the iodophor before sweeping it across the wound.

Instantly, Su Yu felt warmth spread all over his body.

He hadn’t been so close to Huo Mian’s body for a long time.

Huo Mian was gentle and proficient with the disinfection process; afraid to hurt him, she did it with gentle and careful movements. With her eyes glued on the wound, she didn’t notice the new look in Su Yu’s eyes.

Su Yu lowered his head and watched her earnest face; for a second, he almost reached out his hand to brush the strand of hair on her forehead back behind her ears.

But the gesture would feel too intimate and he was afraid Huo Mian would feel embarrassed.

So he suppressed this urge…

“An said you have another wound besides this one. Where is it?”

“Oh. My ankle got entangled by the wire rope when I fought Huo Siqian. It’s nothing. You don’t have to dress it.”

Before he could finish, Huo Mian squatted down to pull up his pant leg.

Due to her big belly, it was difficult for her to squat down.

Immediately, Su Yu helped her up. “Don’t. I can do it. You’re pregnant and might hurt the baby if you squat down.”

Then Su Yu pulled up his pant leg and revealed the ankle hurt by Huo Siqian’s wire rope.

The wound wasn’t severe but there was a vague red mark on his ankle.

“Jack has always liked to play dirty. He might have put poison on the wire rope, so I’d better clean it.”

Huo Mian cleaned the wound carefully with disinfection lotion and then dressed the wound on his chest with bandages.

“You’re indeed a miraculous doctor… You dressed the wound excellently. You’re the best.” Su Yu gave her a thumbs-up.

“Stop sucking up… If you keep silent about your wounds next time, just wait and die.”

“Haha. I just thought they were not serious wounds. I’m not a girl and don’t want to make a fuss about them.” Su Yu scratched his head.

“It’s nothing about fuss. It’s your health that’s on the line.”

“Okay, okay. I got it, great doctor.”

“Nie Lingxuan…”

“What about her? Did you guys catch her?” Hearing her name, Su Yu remembered that the woman had just disappeared.

“She’s fine now. I arranged a boat to take her to the shore. She’ll fly back to the States tonight.”

“What? How can you let her go? Isn’t she one of them?” Su Yu was displeased.

“She’s not. She was just hypnotized and used by them.”

“Hypnotized?” Su Yu was not familiar with this term.

Huo Mian briefly explained to him the issue concerning Nie Lingxuan.

Su Yu understood suddenly. “No wonder she was such a good fighter; it turns out she was manipulated. It’s horrible… By the way, An said Lu Yan came. Is it true?”

Su Yu wanted to know if the mysterious person who came in suddenly and gave Huo Siqian a good beating was really Lu Yan.
