Quan Meng was taken to the room next door by the medics to neutralize the drug’s effects. After all, they didn’t know what kind of drug had been administered to Quan Meng and whether it had any side effects. Fortunately, the medics were very skilled, and the effects of the drug were gradually diminished.

However, Quan Meng’s body showed signs of being beaten and assaulted, so they still had to send her to the hospital for treatment.

Just then, Huo Ling walked in.

“How is she now?”

After a round of examination, the medic took off his stethoscope and said to Huo Ling, “We still need to send her to the hospital for a full body examination before we can come to a conclusion.”

“Then hurry up and go!”

When Quan Meng woke up, it was already the next day. Her whole body was sore, and her head was in great pain.

The moment she opened her eyes, she thought she saw Huo Ling waiting at the side. The memories of yesterday flooded her mind.

“You’re awake. Do you feel any discomfit?” An unfamiliar woman stood in front of her. She looked about the same age as Yan Min, and the concern in her eyes was clear and sincere.

“And you are?” Quan Meng had a terrible headache and shook her head twice gently, trying to get the pain out of her head.

“Look at my poor memory!” The middle-aged woman smacked her head and started to introduce herself. “You can call me Aunt Yun. I was hired by Mr. Huo to take care of you.”

Huo Ling? Quan Meng’s head turned blank for a moment. So it was really him who saved her yesterday?

Quan Meng’s tears began flowing down uncontrollably.

This gave Aunt Yun a shock, but she understood. After all, she had heard what happened to Quan Meng earlier from Young Master Yu and Mr. Huo.

“Oh, yes, Mrs. Huo. Mr. Huo asked me to give this to you.” Aunt Yun took out a mobile phone and handed it to Quan Meng.

The way Aunt Yun addressed her made Quan Meng blush. She silently wiped her tears and reached out to take it.

Quan Meng realized that it was the same model as her previous phone, and even the contents of the previous cell phone had been transferred over. There was a new message from Huo Ling.

[If you encounter any danger in the future, you can contact me by double-tapping on the screen.]

When she saw this message, a warm sensation welled up in Quan Meng’s heart.

Aunt Yun, who was standing by the side, was also feeling extremely happy.

She had been working for the Huo family for a long time. It could be said that she had watched Huo Ling grow up. Therefore, when she first saw Quan Meng, she knew that Huo Ling had taken a fancy to this girl.

After all, she had watched that child grow up. She knew his character. Aunt Yun smiled and decided to help Huo Ling.

“Madam, although Master isn’t here right now, he still cares about you very much. He specifically told me many things to take note of and even asked me to take care of you conscientiously!”

“Aunt Yun, just call me Quan Meng.” After listening to Aunt Yun, Quan Meng lowered her head shyly and corrected the way Aunt Yun addressed her in a soft voice.

“There’s still more.” Aunt Yun turned around with a smile and picked up the thermal lunch box. “This is the vegetable porridge that Master specially instructed me to make. He said… it’s your favorite. You must be hungry. Eat it while it’s hot.”

After having her meal, Quan Meng started browsing on her new phone. She saw the latest news of the day.

[Magnifique Prix’s higher-ups are suspected of corruption and bribery. They have been arrested and the stock market has plummeted. The finality of the competition is pending verification.]

Quan Meng sighed at the fickleness of the world. Just the day before, she was still complaining about how unfair things were, but she didn’t expect so much to happen in one night. She couldn’t help but think of the incident of the hygiene lapses at the Liang family’s hotel. Perhaps she was thinking too much.

The sun was about to set when Quan Meng saw Huo Ling again.

“Thank you, Huo Ling.”

When she saw Huo Ling, Quan Meng finally believed that her memory from yesterday was not an illusion. It was truly Huo Ling who had appeared and saved her before she passed out.

Quan Meng’s face was pale. She didn’t know if it was because of the side effects of the drug, but after seeing Huo Ling, her memory became clearer and clearer, and her whole body was trembling a little.

Her work had been secretly swapped, she had been beaten up in the van, drugged in the hotel, and almost raped. However, she had no clue who the culprit was. Everything was like a nightmare.

All her emotions crumbled the moment she saw Huo Ling.

Her tears flowed out like a string of pearls. At first, she was just sobbing, but in the end, she literally burst into tears.

Huo Ling looked at the girl in front of him in a panic. He had never encountered such a situation before. There was no one else in the ward other than the two of them. He could only summon up his courage and based on what he had seen elsewhere, walk forward to hug Quan Meng lightly, patting her back gently to comfort her.

After a long time, the girl finally stopped crying and slowly withdrew from Huo Ling’s embrace. She wiped the tears on her face with both hands haphazardly and spoke in a depressed voice, “Thank you.”
