The wound on Wen Li's arm healed completely after three weeks.

As she expected, the scar was ugly, crawling on her arm like a worm.

In order to remove the scars faster, she applied scar cream several times a day. As a result, the scar cream that could have been used for a month was used up in just one week.

She planned to buy another box at a pharmacy near the office building after get off work, but she didn't expect Huo Yuanchen to not come to pick her up that day. When it was almost time to get off work, he called her and told her that he had important things to do and couldn't leave, and asked her if she could take a taxi back by herself?

Wen Li naturally said no problem.

But when she saw Li Hong, she asked with concern, "Are you working on any important scientific research projects recently? If you are busy, you can take a few days off and don't have to come every day. I am not an unkind boss."

Li Hong said in surprise, "There is no urgent project. It's almost the end of the semester, and the junior students have final exams to take and can't come to the teaching and research office every day. Teacher Huo knows this and said that we should have a good rest during this period. He himself is not very busy these days."

Wen Li said "Oh" and pretended to ask casually, "But it's strange, Huo Yuanchen just told me that he is very busy today and can't leave. It's really rare that he has such a high regard for other things besides scientific research.

Li Hong hesitated to speak.

Wen Li then said, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

Li Hong thought about it, and handed the phone to Wen Li, saying, "An Wen is having surgery today."

Wen Li's head buzzed at that moment, but she still managed to stay calm and looked at Li Hong's phone.

It was An Wen's circle of friends, who posted a photo outside the operating room with the caption, "Finally the day of surgery has arrived. I'm scared, but with you by my side, I feel a lot more at ease. Wish me a smooth operation."

Wen Li saw a person wearing protective clothing in the picture, standing not far from An Wen's camera, communicating with medical staff. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she still recognized that it was Huo Yuanchen from the way he stood.

No wonder, he said he had something important to do today and couldn't leave...

In his heart, An Wen is not the most important.

At this moment, Wen Li felt lucky. Fortunately, she didn't really say those things in front of Li Hong, otherwise she would be slapped in the face now.

She asked Li Hong, "What disease does An Wen have? Is her surgery risky?"

Li Hong said, "Teacher Huo didn't allow us to ask about or discuss An Wen's condition. He said it was An Wen's privacy."

Wen Li expressed his understanding and added, "An Wen is in a good mood to post on WeChat Moments. Maybe she already knows that the possibility of failure of this operation is low."

Li Hong nodded, indicating that she thought the same.

Wen Li carefully looked at An Wen's circle of friends again. It was a post from four hours ago. And Huo Yuanchen had just called her.

In other words, An Wen's surgery was over. There was no worry in Huo Yuanchen's voice, and it seemed that the surgery was successful.

Maybe it was because Anwen was weak after the operation and he was worried and wanted to stay to take care of Anwen, so he said he would not come to pick her up.

Wen Li suddenly had an urge to go to the hospital to visit the patient.

She thought so and did so. She hailed a taxi and went to the hospital where An Wen worked. She bought a fruit basket at the entrance of the hospital and walked to the inpatient department with it.

When she arrived at the corresponding floor and saw that it was the neurology ward, she was a little confused, because An Wen was usually full of energy and didn't look sick at all.

This floor is quite large, and the corridors in the hospital are winding and have doors connected to each other. Wen Li was afraid of getting lost, so he went to the nurses' station to ask how to get to An Wen's ward.

When the other party heard that she was going to visit the patient in Ward 1608, he couldn't help but say, "You must be the patient's sister. Your sister's boyfriend is really good to her. Not only did he cover all the expenses during your sister's hospitalization, he also found the best specialist to perform the surgery for her. Today, he was even running around. Even your mother often comes to us to praise him. As a sister, you can rest assured."

After hearing this, Wen Li looked very strange, and even forgot to say thank you. He was stunned for a long time before he remembered to go to the ward.

As soon as she reached the door of the ward, she heard the voice of a middle-aged woman inside , breaking down and crying to persuade Huo Yuanchen , "I'm begging you, isn't that enough? Wenwen just finished the operation, and if she wakes up and can't see you, she will definitely cry. In her current state, she will definitely hurt her body if she cries. Just stay with her for one night. It's just one night, the woman in your room won't mind."

Wen Li paused, a little surprised, thinking, this should be An Wen's mother. From what she said, this person knew that Huo Yuanchen had a girlfriend, and was planning to instigate her daughter to be a mistress?

Then, she heard Huo Yuanchen's voice, saying, "Don't worry, this is the critical moment for An Wen to recover, I will definitely not ignore her."

Wen Li almost threw the fruit basket at the ward door.

Anwen's mother said immediately, "That's great. Wenwen listens to you, and she will definitely take the medicine obediently when you ask her to. It's just that I used to sleep on this accompanying bed, and the bedding is old. How about I go out and buy you new bedding later?"

Huo Yuanchen said hurriedly, "Don't bother. It's just one night, just make do with it."

Anwen's mother agreed, and said she was going to buy some food, and walked out with the lunch box.

That is to give my daughter and Huo Yuanchen some space to be alone.

As soon as she went out, she happened to meet Wen Li face to face. She didn't know Wen Li and thought he was a family member from another ward. After taking a look at him, he hummed a little song and left.

Wen Li couldn't help but think, just looking at An Wen's mother like this, she couldn't imagine at all, that a minute ago, she was crying and wailing in front of Huo Yuanchen.

Almost at the same time as An Wen's mother entered the elevator, Wen Li also knocked on the door of the ward.

Huo Yuanchen came to open the door. He thought it was An Wen's mother who came back and even said, "Auntie, you..."

The rest of the words stopped abruptly, and he and Wen Li looked into each other's eyes. When he noticed that Wen Li's eyes were looking past him and into the ward, he moved his body to block Wen Li's sight.

"What are you doing here?" he asked Wen Li, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

Wen Li raised the fruit basket in his hand higher and said calmly, "An Wen posted on WeChat Moments that she had surgery today. Now that I know about it, I feel it's not right not to come and visit her."

Huo Yuanchen frowned, looking at her with a hint of distrust in his eyes.

It was at this time that An Wen woke up from the surgical anesthesia.

She called out weakly, "Brother Yuanchen, my head hurts."

Wen Li saw that Huo Yuanchen signaled her with his eyes to leave quickly.

She pretended not to understand, pushed him away, and walked into the ward carrying the fruit basket.
