it, smiling. "Linlin, is something the matter" "Xiaoyao, you didn't come to work again today..." 。Yu Lin asked. 。Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response, blushing and saying, "I don't feel so well today" 。“ Y..."In her current state, she wouldn't be able to recover domestically. She can only try her luck abroad." Shi Mo said while sitting by the bedside.
The assistant scratched his head, "I know that, but she's Mr. Lu's wife. She has nothing to do with you. Even if she needs to go abroad for treatment, it should be Mr. Lu who takes her there. There's no way it would be your turn."
Shi Mo pulled the blanket for Fu Xiaoyao, "Lu Hanchuan didn't know she was still alive, let alone that she was like this now."
"Then you should tell Director Lu." the assistant said dismissively.
Shi Mo frowned, "Do you think I don't want to The problem is we don't know what the relationship between Lu Hanchuan and Qi Ya is now. If we rashly tell Lu Hanchuan that Xiao Yao is still alive, it might not be a good thing. From this incident, we can see that if Lu Hanchuan really took Xiao Yao back, Qi Ya would still hurt her."
"This...seems to make sense too." The assistant chuckled dryly.
Shi Mo turned her head to look at him, "Go and inform the Shi family that my return date has to be postponed by a few days."
"Because Miss Fu" the assistant glanced at Fu Xiaoyao.
Shi Mo nodded, "She can't be left alone like this."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go right away." The assistant replied and went to take care of it.
Three days later, Fu Xiaoyao woke up. She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't. It was as if something was tied over her eyelids, preventing her from seeing anything.
Besides, even my body couldn't move, as if it were bound by something.
What's going on
Where is she now
Fu Xiaoyao opened her mouth, wanting to ask if anyone was there. As she opened her mouth, however, she found that she couldn't make a single sound.
What's wrong with her
Fu Xiaoyao's heart sank violently, and she was completely flustered.
Why
Why can't she speak!
Fu Xiaoyao's breathing became rapid, and she let out a frustrated breath, wanting to try again.
This time she succeeded, her voice came out, but it was as faint as a mosquito's whine, barely audible unless you listened carefully. Her throat also hurt terribly.
And this pain also allowed her to recover all of her memories.
She remembered being locked in an abandoned building by Qi Ya, who intended to burn her alive. And she was indeed engulfed in flames, the fire crawling all over her body, burning her as if she were in hell.
She could not forget the pain of being burned by the fire, nor the despair of being consumed by it. Most of all, she couldn't forget the venomous oath she swore just before the flames were about to incinerate her alive!
She swore that if she could survive the fire, she would repay everything she had suffered, tenfold!
And now, she's really alive!
Upon thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao's emotions became extremely agitated, so much so that her immobile body trembled slightly. The medical equipment by her bedside detected her blood pressure rising and started beeping incessantly.
Hearing the sound of the machine, the person outside the door immediately opened it and strode to the bedside in two or three steps. After pressing the emergency button, they looked at the slightly trembling figure on the bed in surprise, "You're finally awake"
This voice... is Shi Mo!
Fu Xiaoyao's eyes welled up, and she cleared her mind from the hatred. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something.
When Shi Mo saw this, he leaned down and put his ear close to hers. When he heard her giggles, he was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said uncertainly, "Are you thanking me"
Fu Xiaoyao's mouth moved again, this time only one syllable.
But Shi Mo heard clearly, she said "Hmm."
Shi Mo smiled faintly, "No need to thank me, saving you is what I should do."
After he finished speaking, several footsteps sounded outside the door.
Then, several doctors and nurses walked in. The doctor at the front asked, "Is the patient awake"
"Awake." Shi Mo moved aside from the bedside, politely saying, "Thank you all for your trouble."
"Should." The doctor politely replied, nodded to the other doctors behind him, and then began to examine Fu Xiaoyao.
After a thorough examination, Shi Mo grabbed the doctor's arm and asked, "Well"
"It's good news that the patient woke up, it means he's out of danger." The doctor wrote in his medical notes while answering truthfully.
Shi Mo let out a breath, "That's good, but she seems unable to speak, what's going on"
"This is normal," the doctor finished, closing the patient's file and looking at Fu Xiaoyao. "She inhaled too much smoke, which damaged her larynx, that's why she can't speak."
Fu Xiaoyao's heart pounded in her chest upon hearing this, her lips trembling as she struggled to find the words.
Shi Mo stepped forward, "Xiao Yao, are you asking the doctor if you'll be able to speak again If so, close your lips. If not, move them."
Upon hearing him understand her so well, Fu Xiaoyao quickly closed her lips.
Shi Mo let out a chuckle, turning his gaze back to the doctor. "Doctor, you heard it too, right Will she be able to speak again"
"Of course, you'll be able to speak in two days. It's just that your voice is hoarse from the smoke inhalation, so it might sound different than before, a little raspy." The doctor looked back at Fu Xiaoyao and replied.
Shi Mo hurriedly looked at her.
Although Fu Xiaoyao couldn't see because her eyes were covered, she could feel the worry he was giving off. Her lips moved twice.
Shi Mo didn't know what she was saying and leaned closer, straining to understand.
"She said she was fine," Shi Mo stood up and explained to the doctor.
A hint of admiration flashed in the doctor's eyes, "It seems this young lady is still very open-minded."
"She is very strong." Shi Mo nodded.
The doctor smiled, "Alright then, Miss. Rest up well and call us if you need anything."
After finishing their conversation, a group of people walked out.
The ward fell silent again.
Shi Mo closed the door and returned to Fu Xiao Yao's bedside. He glanced at her dry lips, quickly grabbed the water cup from her bedside table, inserted a long, soft straw into it, and then held the sucking end to her mouth. "Drink some water."
Fu Xiaoyao was a little thirsty, she didn't know how to tell him, but he already understood. This made her heart very touched.
She first made a gesture of thanks with her mouth, then took the straw and drank from the cup large gulps until it was almost empty. Then she stopped.
"Aren't you drinking" Shi Mo looked at Fu Xiaoyao.
Fu Xiaoyao's lips moved slightly in response.
Shi Mo, understanding her intention, took away the straw and put the cup back on the bedside table. He then took a clean tissue and gently wiped the corner of her mouth.
As he wiped, he said, "I know you have a lot of questions right now. You can slowly make lip shapes and I'll try to understand using lip reading. If I misunderstand, just move your lips twice like you did before. If I'm right, just give me a little nod, okay"
Fu Xiaoyao's lips moved.
Shi Mo threw the tissue away, "Good, now you can start making mouth shapes. I'll try to guess what you want to ask."
After he spoke, he fixed his gaze on her lips, not daring to break eye contact for a second, afraid of missing any shape of her mouth.
Fu Xiaoyao's mouth movements were a bit long, but the advantage was that she spoke slowly. Shi Mo could guess what she was asking even though he didn't understand clearly.
But to be sure, he still confirmed, "You're asking how I knew you were locked up by Qi Ya at the time, right"
Fu Xiaoyao, upon hearing that he truly understood her lip movements, became excited and moved her lips in agitation.
Shi Mo knew he was right, and smiled gently, replying, "It's Auntie Song."
Aunt Song world who are so alike, except for twins. 。But the madam didn't have twins. 。"You are the mistress!" Aunt Song looked at Fu Xiaoyao's face and still insisted on this. 。Fu Xiaoyao's heart was filled...
