    Still, Xiao Chun helped Xu Wei up. She went to wash up and change in the bathroom before she left her room and went to the room next to hers and knocked.


    Soon, she heard footsteps approaching the door. Qiao Chu was the one to answer the door and he seemed slightly surprised to see her. “You’ve awakened?”


    “Yes, I... I recover fast.” Xu Wei answered with a hint of humor before she asked, “How’s Big Boss? Has he regained his consciousness? I’m here to visit him.”


    Qiao Chu looked haggard, probably due to ack of sleep since the incident that happened two days ago. His voice was hoarse andyered with exhaustion, “His wound was infected. His high fever has not subsided. The doctor came and had already provided medication, he’s currently on the drip.”


    He made way for her as he spoke, “Miss Xu, pleasee in.”


    Xu Wei nodded and walked in.


    Theyout of the room was the exact replica of the one she was staying in. She passed through the living room and walked towards the bedroom door, where she immediately spotted Zuo An sleeping soundly on the bed.


    A small stic tube from the intravenous fluid drip was stuck on the back of his hand that was ced on his side on the bed.


    She stood at the door when she saw that he was still asleep. She turned towards Qiao Chu instead and said, ” I’lle over again when he wakes up.”


    Qiao Chu replied with a request, “Miss Xu, can I trouble you to look after Mr. Zuo for a moment while I return a call?”


    Since it was a simple task, Xu Wei did not refuse, “Sure, I just woke up anyway. I can look after Big Boss. You should take a rest after returning the call ande over afterward.”


    Perhaps after the incident where she saved Zuo An, Qiao Chu’s behavior towards her changed too. He did not hesitate nor politely refused but sincerely thanked her instead.


    After Qiao Chu left, Xu Wei walked into the room. She pulled a chair and sat down by the bed.


    She stared at the pale face of Zuo An. He seemed to be having a restless sleep as his brows were tightly knitted and cold sweat was oozing from his forehead as if he was having a nightmare. His expression became bitter as if he was going through something painful and he began calling out for his “Mama” again.


    Xu Wei had always thought that her Big Boss had always been mysterious. When they finally met, he always portrayed the image of a gentle and harmless man in front of her. He seemed approachable, but in fact, he was distant and inessible.


    He had probably unmasked himself and shown his truest emotionst night and right now when he was unconscious.


    It seemed that his mother held an extremely important ce in his heart.


    If he and Zuo Si were siblings, were they half-siblings from the same father, but of a different mother? Was that the reason for the hatred and rivalry between them?


    However, even if they were half-siblings of the same father but different mothers, it was understandable that they would have conflict, but certainly not to the extent of wanting each other dead. How deep could the hatred be for them to want each other dead?


    She did not know what he went through, but he looked extremely miserable...


    Every family had its problem.


    Zuo An seemed to be having such a terrible dream that he unconsciously raised his hand, causing the blood in the drip to backflow. The fluid in the drip tube went instantly red. Xu Wei panicked, she quickly collected her thoughts and reached out to grab his raised hand and pressed it down on the bed with all her might.


    Although he was unconscious, he was still very strong. He forcefully tried to break away from Xu Wei’s hand that was holding him down. As she feared that he would hurt himself if the needle was pulled out from his hand, she exerted even more force to hold that hand down.


    Themotion pulled Zuo An back into consciousness and away from his dreand. His long eyshes shuddered as he slowly opened his eyes.


    Xu Wei did not notice that Zuo An had awakened. After she held down his hand which was having the drip needle injected, she retracted her hand. Just when she was about to do so, a hand grabbed her by the wrist.
