When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 675: No Problem Taking Care of You (5)

Clinging to her last shred of reason and strength, Jiayu crawled out of the bathtub, trying her best to grab the phone placed on the sink beside her and dialed the only contact with a name noted from her recent calls...

The city was bustling, lights shining brightly.

Mu Ke came out of the operating room, exhausted, and sat directly on the bench outside the surgery room.

This afternoon, He had just dropped Jiayu home and had barely exited her apartment when he received an urgent call from the hospital. One of his patients suddenly had a complication, and Mu Ke rushed to the hospital, standing in the operating room for several hours.

He had already performed a surgery this morning and another in the afternoon; Mu Ke was feeling quite overwhelmed, sitting on the bench with his eyes closed to rest.

"Doctor Mu, you haven’t eaten yet, right? I bought you some food, please make do with it."

A gentle female voice suddenly came from beside him. Mu Ke opened his eyes. It was a nurse from the hospital, holding two lunch boxes, eagerly handing them to him.

Mu Ke frowned slightly, stood up: "Thank you, I don’t need it."

With a calm rejection of her kindness, Mu Ke got up and walked towards his office. The unwilling nurse called out again from behind: "Doctor Mu, you’ve been in surgery for so long, please take care of your health."

Mu Ke paused, spoke again: "Thank you for your kindness. Goodbye."

As his tall figure disappeared around the corner, two people approached the little nurse: "See, I told you Doctor Mu is so aloof, he never accepts anyone’s lunch boxes."

The nurse holding the lunch boxes raised her chin: "I just like his aloofness. Anyway, Doctor Mu doesn’t have a girlfriend now, I refuse to believe I can’t win him over."

Mu Ke wasn’t aware of the commotion behind him. Returning to his office, he opened the locker, changed his clothes, and took out his phone to check the time.

Seeing the missed call, a hint of surprise flashed in Mu Ke’s eyes, quickly turning into delight.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift slightly as he swiped to call back.

No one answered.

He called again.

Still, no one answered.

Mu Ke frowned, paused for a second, grabbed the car keys from the locker, and quickly walked out.

When he exited the hospital gates, his tall figure began to run directly.

Mu Ke started the car, held the steering wheel with one hand while continuing to call Jiayu, but still, no one answered.

The man’s frown deepened, and he accelerated.

He flew to Jiayu’s apartment, swiping his fingerprint to enter.

The living room was pitch black, with only a bit of light coming from the bedroom. Mu Ke stepped over, only to find the light was coming from the bathroom.

Was she taking a shower?

Mu Ke reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no response, nor was there the sound of water.

"Miss Sheng? Miss Sheng?"

As he pushed the door open, Mu Ke’s ever-calm heart leaped into his throat in an instant.

"Xiao Yu."

The woman lay face down on the floor with a body bare as she had fallen, a bright red patch of blood staining her forehead. Mu Ke grabbed a nearby towel, quickly wrapped her in it, and carried her to the bed.

Jiayu’s forehead was burning hot, yet her body was cold, along with her pale complexion and slightly purplish lips, combined with the recent situation.

A doctor’s experience had already given Mu Ke a general idea of the situation.

Yet his heart still raced as he quickly brushed Jiayu’s hair aside, fetched the first aid kit, quickly treated her wound, cooled her body temperature, and then took a quilt out of the closet to layer on top of the existing blanket.
