Chapter 7 — My Late Light

The butler tremblingly took out the phone from his pocket, his trembling fingers opened a news feed, then raised his hands and brought it in front of Chu Nghien Thu. "Young master, you should still see for yourself, this is today's top news." Chu Nghien Thu frowned, suspiciously accepting the phone. The title on the screen startled people, writing in bold red letters: "The secret of the rich family? Mysterious girl seriously injured hospitalized, suspected to be a sacrifice in the Chu family's internal struggle." Chu Nghien Thu's fingers stiffened. He tremblingly clicked open the image, it was a photo secretly taken in the hospital hallway. Although the image is a bit blurry. But Chu Nghien Thu saw very clearly, the person lying on the stretcher, covered in blood, hooked up to a ventilator, with a face as pale as paper, was clearly Hua Nam Am! "What is this?!" Chu Nghien Thu's voice immediately changed tone, from the anger just now turning into pain: "Isn't she staying in the forbidden room? Why is she so seriously injured? Who did it?" The housekeeper shook her head: "Miss Hua's matters are always in charge of Miss So So, no Let me ask." Chu Nghien Thu trembled as she held the phone and dialed the phone number that was so familiar that she knew it by heart. The three words "Hua Nam Am" lit up on the screen. From the receiver, there was a "tut tut" sound. The clock on the wall made a "ticking" sound. Each sound seemed to torture his nerves. The entire office immediately became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Even the butler held his breath, not daring to make any noise. The oppressive atmosphere lasted for who knows how long, and finally the phone was picked up: "Nam Am, how are you? Where are you now?" There was a quick response on the other end of the line, but it wasn't Hua Nam Am's voice that came, but the sweet and soft voice of Chu So So: "Brother Nghien Thu, it's me." Chu Nghien Thu's heart suddenly sank, the knuckles holding the phone turned white: "So So? Why is Nam Am's phone there?" me?" Chu So So slightly angrily opened his mouth: "Mr. Nghien Thu, Nam Am ran away, she left her phone behind. I was just about to see if there was a way to contact her when I received your call." "How could Nam Am be like that, without saying a word to you, did she put Mr. Nghien Thu in her eyes?" If it was normal, he would have already started to get angry. But this time, Hua Nam Am's pale face appeared in his mind. Rarely was Chu So So's words unaffected, but directly questioned: "Chu So So, let me ask you, why is Hua Nam Am so seriously injured?" Chu Nghien Thu rarely called Chu So Chu's full name. In Chu So Chu's voice, there was a hint of resentment, but more of a reliance on favoritism: "What mistreatment, what serious injuries, she deliberately found someone to exaggerate to gain pity!" "Inflate?" Chu Nghien Thu's voice was a bit hoarse. He remembered the startling photo in the news, that weak figure plugged into a ventilator: "So So, in the news it said she was seriously injured, is this an exaggeration?" Chu So So gently interrupted him: "She was just looking for someone to act, she just hated us, so she wanted to use this trick to take revenge on us." Chu Nghien Thu was silent. Reason told him that So Chu's words were full of loopholes. But emotionally, he unconsciously wanted to believe her, wanted to believe it was all just a misunderstanding, a farce. But that feeling of insecurity grew stronger and stronger, like a large rock pressing down on his chest, making him unable to breathe. Hanging up the phone, Chu Nghien Thu immediately called Hua Nam Am's parents. However, the answer they received was that Hua Nam Am did not return home, and they also did not know where Hua Nam Am was. Chu Nghien Thu angrily rubbed her hair, feeling a premonition

Bad luck surrounds him. He used his connections, frantically searched for Hua Nam Am's whereabouts, and finally found the hospital where Hua Nam Am was admitted. Without delay, Chu Nghien Thu suddenly stood up, grabbed the car keys and rushed out. On the road, the accelerator pedal was pushed all the way down, the car rushed down the road like an arrow leaving the bowstring. Chu Nghien Thu used his fastest speed to run to the hospital, rushing straight to Hua Nam Am's hospital room: "Nam Am..." Chu Nghien Thu pushed open the hospital room door. But the first thing that caught my eye was the figure of Co Tinh Da. Co Tinh Da heard the movement and turned around. When he saw Chu Nghien Thu, his eyes immediately became cold and sharp, carrying an undisguised hostility: "What are you doing?" "Come to see her jokes? Or to confirm her death?" Chu Nghien Thu saw every scene of Co Tinh Da meticulously taking care of Hua Nam Am, his chest felt like it was blocked by a cotton ball soaked in water, suffocating and uncomfortable. Before he opened his mouth, another figure suddenly appeared next to him. Not knowing when Chu So So had followed, she took Chu Nghien Thu's arm, sparking a separation: "Brother Nghien Thu, look, I already told you. There's nothing wrong with Nam Am, still in the mood to be here and flirting with another man. Doesn't that look like someone who's seriously injured?"
