Shui Anluo shivered as she stared at the woman who had put her hand against a rock in the flower bed to break her fall.

Chu Ningyi hurried over and looked at Lin Qianchen who was on the ground. Her hand was now bleeding as a result of being pressed against the rock. His frown deepened.

Shui Anluo took a small step back. She pursed her lips and watched as Chu Ningyi helped Lin Qianchen to her feet. He then examined her palm which was dripping blood.

“I...” Shui Anluo glared hatefully at Lin Qianchen who was acting as if she had been wronged. She pursed her lips tightly.

“It’s nothing, Luoluo didn’t do it on purpose. Maybe it’s because I explained to her that she was lagging behind in her internship. Her child’s sick too so she was in a bad mood,” Lin Qianchen explained in a fair and considerate manner.

Shui Anluo’s glare sharpened towards her. “Lin Qianchen, stop acting as if you’re a kind person.”

“Shut your mouth,” Chu Ningyi snapped with a frown and shot Shui Anluo a warning look. He then helped Lin Qianchen inside. “I’ll take you to tend to your wound first,” he said before he lifted his head to look at Shui Anluo again.

Shui Anluo felt indignant and stared back at him fearlessly. She was not the one in the wrong anyway.

Shui Anluo was filled with grief and felt like crying when she watched Chu Ningyi take Lin Qianchen inside. She held it all in but, in the end, she could no longer stop herself and called Qiao Yaruan.

Chu Ningyi brought Lin Qianchen inside to fix her wound. However, he had frowned the entire way.

“I’ll get Luoluo to apologize to you.” Chu Ningyi looked down with a frown. Her entire hand was riddled with wounds.

Lin Qianchen’s body tensed up. He was going to make Shui Anluo apologize? Under which identity?

Her ex-husband? The father of her son? Or as the man who would become her husband again?

“It’s fine, Luoluo is young and she didn’t push me on purpose. It’s not her fault. Perhaps I’d used the wrong words and said that her recent performance in her internship was not up to par. You also know how her grades are so I was afraid that she might not be able to finish her internship.” Lin Qianchen sighed. Her voice dripped with concern for Shui Anluo.

“Doctor Lin, aren’t you due for a surgery tomorrow? How’re you going to manage it with your hand looking like that?” The nurse who was tending to her wound blurted out.

Lin Qianchen frowned and refused to allow the nurse to continue speaking.

“What happened? Qianchen’s hurt?” The old specialist entered the room and asked in concern.

“It’s nothing, I fell by accident and hurt my hand,” Lin Qianchen replied with a smile.

“Doctor Shui had clearly done it on purpose,” the nurse pouted as she muttered softly.

Chu Ningyi swept his gaze toward the nurse and silenced her immediately.

The old specialist frowned and looked at Chu Ningyi. “What happened?”

“Grandmother, I’m fine. I said a few things to Luoluo and perhaps I had not used the right words so Luoluo lost control and pushed me. It’s nothing serious.” Lin Qianchen quickly tried to defend Shui Anluo.

The old specialist, whose name was Qiao Huihe, was Chu Ningyi’s grandmother and an honored director of the hospital.

Qiao Huihe’s expression turned even uglier. She already has a bad impression of Shui Anluo and it has now soured to complete dislike. “Doesn’t she know the importance of a pair of hands to a surgeon? Where’s Shui Anluo? Ask her to come and see me.”

Chu Ningyi, who was standing next to Lin Qianchen, stayed in his place. “Grandmother, don’t make this any messier. Qianchen already said that Luoluo had not done it on purpose.”

“Not on purpose? Qianchen had previously taken the fall for her and now you’re saying that she had not done it on purpose again? Ningyi, you’ll get her to see me today. I want to speak to her,” Qiao Huihe said angrily.

Lin Qianchen lowered her head, concealing the flash of glee in her eyes.
