Chapter 107 Like a Brother

Murong Xue had already finished the surgery and dressed Mo Liufeng's wound when his personal doctor, Doctor Mo, arrived. They used a stretcher to put him on the bed to rest and his breath became relatively steady and smooth, but they still needed to keep him in check in the following days in case the wound got infected or anything else.

"Who dressed his wound?" Doctor Mo asked in surprise.

Mo Liufeng's wound was next to his heart, so it was very possible that his heart would be hurt carelessly. But the wound was dressed so perfectly that Doctor Mo could not understand how to make it. He knew that he only had a possibility of less than 50% to achieve this, so he wondered whose job this was.

"It's not time to talk about it. My brother bled a lot. Check him first and see if he needs a blood transfusion. Hurry up." Mo Aili did not reveal that it was Murong Xue's job, and she also warned the guards and others in the house to keep it secret. She knew that Murong Xue wanted to keep a low profile now, although she did not understand why. She once asked Murong Xue about this, but Murong Xue promised that she would know later. Mo Aili felt a little disappointed.

"Okay." Doctor Mo was very tactful and he knew that Mo Aili did not want others to know about it, so he stopped asking immediately. But it was a great pity for him to have missed how the surgery was done by the medical master.

Mo Liufeng was not out of danger yet, so Mo Aili, Murong Xue, and Doctor Mo would stay and keep watch in case anything would happen.

Late at night, Mo Liufeng began to have a fever. His body was burning hot and it caused difficulties in breathing. Doctor Mo was fully capable of dealing with these problems, so Murong Xue just stood by and watched them. She would not expose herself until it was necessary. She knew that the Soul-killing poison event was not over yet and they were still keeping an eye on her now. Because of this, she was unwilling to say too much about the Space unless it was necessary.

The next morning, Mo Changfeng came to A province. Receiving the message at midnight that Mo Liufeng was seriously hurt, he had wanted to leave at once, but he only managed to arrive this morning because of many restrictions brought by his special status. On the way there, he was torn with anxiety and he could not afford to lose another family. Mo Changfeng lost his most outstanding and beloved son and daughter-in-law many years ago, and he did not want to go through such pain again.

Mo Changfeng's face was pale and his hands were trembling. He felt like that it had taken him a century to arrive there.

When he arrived at the Mo Family's manor in A province, Mo Changfeng could feel his body was shaking when he got out of the car and he was afraid that he would fall over at any moment. The guards nearby came forward to hold him up and they were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect this man, who had dedicated his life to the country. They feared that their chief could not take it when they knew Mo Liufeng was seriously injured because no one knew better than them that Mo Liufeng was Mo Changfeng's last hope.

"Where is Liufeng?" Mo Changfeng asked the guards at the door in a hoarse voice.

"In his room. He is out of danger now." The guards explained the situation to him at once as they knew it was the first thing he wanted to know.

Hearing what the guards said, Mo Changfeng was a little relieved, but only seeing it in person could reassure him. He pushed away the guards' hands and finally gathered the strength to walk rapidly to Mo Liufeng's room.

He pushed the door open, "Liufeng."

"Grandfather, why are you here?" Mo Aili was surprised to see Mo Changfeng because she did not call him as she did not want him to worry about Mo Liufeng. But her grandfather had known it.

"How is Liufeng doing?" Mo Changfeng looked at the unconscious man on the bed with worried eyes.

"Grandfather, don't worry. My brother is fine now. Don't you see who is here? Nothing will happen to him." Mo Aili gave him a hint.

Only now did Mo Changfeng notice that Murong Xue and Doctor Mo were there, and he felt quite relieved when seeing Murong Xue in the room as he knew that she could take care of it. Mo Changfeng wanted to thank her, but he changed his words when he found there were others around, "Xue, thank you. Thank you for staying here. I’m sorry to bother you…" His tone was grateful.

"Grandpa Mo, you don't need to thank me. Liufeng is like my own brother." It was fortunate that she happened to be here last night. Otherwise, the best treatment time would be missed if she rushed here from home.

Mo Changfeng turned his head to Doctor Mo and said, "Doctor Mo, thank you, too."

Doctor Mo shook his head and waved his hands, "No, no, no. This is what I should do." He felt that he did nothing but looking after Mo Liufeng after the surgery.

Making sure that Mo Liufeng was out of danger, Mo Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief and he was grateful that life was not that cruel to him.

"There were too many people in the room. It would disturb his rest, and it is no good for airing. One person staying here is enough. You guys did not sleep last night. How about you going for rest and me staying here until dusk when others come to replace me?" Murong Xue suggested.

"No. You can't. You are already up all night and you must be tired now. Let me stay here and you go for rest." Mo Aili refused immediately because she knew how exhausting operating a surgery could be and Murong Xue was more tired than herself since she did not rest at all.

"I have to be here, or I will feel anxious. I'm not tired. If anything happens..." Murong Xue did not finish her sentence, but others present knew what she meant. Doctor Mo was unaware of it, but he didn’t dare to ask.

"Well, if you are tired, don't push yourself and you have to tell me then. I'll go and bring you breakfast now." Mo Aili walked downstairs quickly, and the maids had prepared the breakfast.

"I don't know what to say to you now, Xue. Thank you." Mo Changfeng spoke with wet eyes. He knew the Mo Family owed too much to her.

Murong Xue smiled at him, "Grandpa Mo, you don't need to do this. Go and have a rest now. I'll be fine here."

Others were afraid of disturbing the patient's rest, so they all went out. Mo Aili brought Murong Xue breakfast. After Murong Xue had eaten it, Mo Aili asked the servant to clean it up. Mo Aili was very grateful that she could have Murong Xue as her friend, who had helped her and her family so much. Besides, she knew that Murong Xue was a true friend who would share weal and woe with her.

She took out a small bottle of spiritual water that Murong Xue gave her yesterday. She wanted to save it for Murong Xue and Mo Liufeng at first, but Murong Xue told her that she had more and she wanted Mo Aili to refresh herself and prepare for the graduation exam in a month. Murong Xue said she was still behind schedule, so she must refresh as soon as possible to review.

What Mo Aili could do now was to take care of herself to relieve Murong Xue's burden. Now Mo Liufeng only needed quiet rest time to recuperate, so she didn’t have to worry about him too much. Mo Aili was determined that she would concentrate on the graduation exam and pass it to keep up with Murong Xue. She wanted to be her best friend for life.

After making sure that everyone else was out, Murong Xue drank some spiritual water from the Space. But for it, she would have been down now.

She walked to the bedside and checked Mo Liufeng's pulse. His pulse became calm and steady now, which indicated that he was getting better. Murong Xue gave a sigh of relief and rested with her head on the table.

"Am I having a dream?"

Mo Liufeng blinked and found a beautiful sleeping face in front of him. Waking up and seeing this, he thought he was still dreaming. He wanted to reach out and feel the beauty, but he feared that he would break the precious sweet dream. He moved his fingers and felt so great pain in his chest that he groaned.

Murong Xue was in light sleep, so she woke up at once, "Liufeng, you are awake. How are you feeling now?" She looked at him with a happy face.

But Mo Liufeng did not hear what she was saying. He stared at Murong Xue blankly and wondered whether it was a dream.

Since Mo Liufeng had no response for a while, Murong Xue was a little worried and felt his forehead with her hand, "Concussion? Impossible. It's his chest that got injured. Why don't you speak?" She murmured to herself.

After some time, Mo Liufeng asked with disbelief, "Xue?"

"I'm here. Liufeng, how are you feeling now?" Murong Xue looked at him with a worried face.

Mo Liufeng tried to sit up, but he was too painful to move. He groaned again.

"Liufeng, you can't move now." Murong Xue hurriedly checked the wound on his chest. Fortunately, the suture did not rupture.

"I'm okay." Mo Liufeng comforted her.

"Liufeng, don't move. You have to stay in bed and rest. The wound on the chest is very serious, so you can't get up these days. Do you understand? Oh, Grandpa Mo and Aili were both here just now, but I told them to have a rest. Too many people staying here is not good for you to recover." Murong Xue explained calmly.

"You saved me, Xue?" Although he was asking her, his tone was firm because he knew about her medical skills.

"Yeah. I came over to review our lessons with Aili last night and I stayed overnight. I'm sorry. I should have greeted you properly. But it is fortunate that I was here. You would be in trouble if the surgery were delayed."

"Just make yourself at home. I told you that you were always welcome here. Don’t be too polite. Besides, we owe you so much. Now, my life is yours, too." Mo Liufeng raised a light smile as he was happy.

"Liufeng, you are too kind to me. I always take you as my big brother. Oh, we keep talking for so long. I should go down and bring you breakfast." Murong Xue went downstairs at once after saying these.

In the room, there was a bitter smile on Mo Liufeng's face. He now knew she only treated him as her brother.

But he thought it was just as well. He was a man always on missions, who would have no time for her and would often be in danger in the future. He wanted Murong Xue to be happy, but he could not give her that kind of happiness.

Murong Xue brought a bowl of meat porridge very soon and she fed him as he could not move now.

Mo Liufeng was content with what he had now. He decided to protect her as her brother this life.

Mo Changfeng shed tears when he knew that Mo Liufeng had woken up. He patted Murong Xue's head out of gratitude and he did not know how to express his gratitude. From now on, he would treat her as one of his families and he felt lucky to have met such an amazing girl.

After two days, there was no need for Murong Xue to be around Mo Liufeng, so she began to help Mo Aili with her graduation exam. Mo Changfeng gave his support when he was told that his granddaughter would take the exam together with Murong Xue, and the school also approved her application. Therefore, the two spared no efforts in preparing for the graduation exam.

During this period, Murong Xue also made some time to check on the situation of Rise Group and AX and to fill the herb warehouse.

At present, the rapid growth of the Medical Department of Rise Group was totally unexpected for her. The amazing medicines she developed could not only treat illness but also make people stronger. Many people even found themselves more good-looking after taking the medicine, which was not very evident but was enough to cause a sensation in A province. Therefore, more and more people were coming for their medicines, which induced many ridicules.

Murong Xue was shocked that people took the medicines as supplements, so she told the company to release the message that their medicines were not supplements and Rise Group would launch health products in the near future to stop people from abusing their medicines.

The announcement had abated people's craze, but many of them kept coming to the stores to ask when the health products would be developed.

Murong Xue informed Gu Ming at once to tell the customers that the supplements would be launched in two months. This thus relieved the burden of the stores' staff.

Murong Xue selected several supplements developed earlier and gave them to Gu Ming. Now too much attention was paid to the medicine developed by Rise Group. But for people's craze, she would have launched the health products later. She was afraid that Rise Group would be in the crosshairs very soon, so she decided to expand the business now.
