Exchanging Clothes


    Harmony rushed into the examination room, fully disguised, before I could recover. “Mr. As…”


    She froze when she saw me on the hospital bed. She approached As and asked, “What’s going on


    here?


    As didn’t answer but gestured to the doctor and left the ward. Harmony stepped forward, looking


    displeased. “Chloe, what are you doing? Why are you here?”


    “How’d you get here?” I retorted instead of answering her question.


    “Haha, As asked me toe!” she retorted boldly.


    Iughed bitterly. I wasn’t sure what As’s intentions were. Harmony crossed her arms and persisted,


    Are you pretending to be pitiful? You’re such a schemer. How dare you resort to such despicable


    tactics


    just to see him?”

    Her words were harsh, but I had no energy to argue. I struggled to sit up. While the headache had


    subsided, I felt sore all over. Harmony looked at me disdainfully, warning me, “Stop shamelessly


    pestering


    As, okay?”


    “How do you know it’s me who pestered him?” I asked.


    “Who else could it be? Him? He still called me here to prevent any misunderstandings. Let me give you


    a piece of advice. It’s better to rein in your schemes. It’s clear who he values more, so save yourself


    the


    trouble.”


    Just then, Carol entered with my bag. She was anxiously holding my CT scan, too. She rushed over as


    I


    sat up. “Chloe, why are you getting up?”


    Harmony red at Carol and said sarcastically, “Oh, ying the whole act, huh? Stop pretending!”


    “Who do you think you’re talking to? Get out!” Carol scolded, “You think everyone is as theatrical as


    you?”


    Before Harmony could respond, As returned and nced coldly at Harmony. She shrunk her neck


    under and dared not speak anymore.


    While supporting me, Carol asked, “Do you still feel pain? Why did you faint like that? Is your head still


    hurting?”


    I shook my head and replied, “I’m fine now.”


    But your face is still so pale. What did the doctor say? Carol was genuinely concerned.


    “I’ll be okay. Let’s go back,” I said calmly. I didn’t want to stay in the same ce with Harmony and


    As


    “You two, exchange your clothes,” As interjected, still looking coldly at me. I didn’t understand what


    he meant and stared at him nkly. As nced at Harmony and said, “Take off your clothes.”


    The three of us, including Carol, were surprised by his words. Harmony looked at As in shock and


    confusion. “As-”


    “Exchange your clothes, both of you!” As reiterated.


    While we were still stunned, Dn entered. “Mr. As.”


    As looked at Dn, who nodded at him. “Here. They’reing.”


    I realized they had some secretmunication between them.


    As’s brows furrowed even more, and he sternly barked at Harmony, “Hurry up, take them off! You


    two wear each other’s clothes. You have five minutes. Ill be waiting outside. Come out immediately


    after.”


    He turned and left. Carol quickly undid the buttons on my clothes. “Let’s listen to Mr. As.”


    Harmony reluctantly removed her skirt and grumbled as she did, but she dared not refuse.


    When we finished exchanging clothes, someone knocked on the door forcefully. Carol opened it, and


    Dn barged in, immediately grabbing Harmony and pushing her out.
