Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Sister Han’s Confession

"Doctor Mu... Doctor Mu..."

The surgical assistant called her a few times and only then noticed she was actually in tears.

"Doctor Mu, don’t be sad. He’s been badly injured by a knife. We still have to save him, don’t we?" The assistant gently consoled her.

Mu Anhan quickly nodded. She had the nurse wipe away her tears, then began to focus fully on the surgery.

After completing the surgery on Firebird, she carefully observed his face. His face had changed, not through makeup but through surgery.

Others might not notice, but she had the keen eye of a hawk.

These subtle changes could not escape her scrutinizing gaze.

She didn’t know why he had undergone surgery to alter his appearance, but he must have endured a lot to come this far.

After the medical staff wheeled Firebird out of the operating room, Mu Anhan changed her clothes and emerged, looking somewhat forlorn.

She once speculated that Firebird might actually be Pei Zhe.

But there was no evidence to support it.

It’s not as if she could just compare Firebird’s DNA with Pei Long’s!

Besides, even if there was a biological connection, what would it prove?

"Han Han, you’ve worked hard!" Xue Xiangtong saw how tired she looked. "Shall I give you a massage?"

"I’m fine." Mu Anhan looked at her. "You’re also tired. Go rest. There are medical staff here to look after everything."

"No way! He got so badly injured saving me. How could I just leave?" Xue Xiangtong shook her head. "I have to stay with him."

Mu Anhan laughed: "You’re not planning to give yourself to him because he saved you, are you?"

Xue Xiangtong laughed too: "How could that be? Our team guesses there’s someone hidden in his heart, but no one knows who. He has an old, worn wallet with a photo inside, but no one is allowed to look at it."

"It’s good you’re staying. I’ll head back now." Mu Anhan said.

"Alright, take care." Xue Xiangtong nodded.

"Xiao Zhan has assigned some people to watch over me," Mu Anhan said. "Besides, with Firebird injured tonight, the whole city is on alert. He wouldn’t dare stir up trouble again during this time."

"Anyway, safety is no small matter!" Xue Xiangtong watched her leave.

Mu Anhan sat in the car, her mind filled with thoughts.

Separated in their youth, when they met again, everyone had their own lives.

She watched the scenery outside the car window move past in reverse, as her phone rang.

She saw a message from Gu Xiaozhan: [Are you coming back now?]

Mu Anhan immediately replied: [I’m on my way home. I’ll be there in half an hour.]

By the time she reached Tianqin Residence, it was already three in the morning.

The house lights were still on, that warm light that once illuminated her dark life.

After she went upstairs, Gu Xiaozhan had already showered and was waiting for her on the sofa.

He didn’t ask where she had been, but she spoke first.

"Honey, I left in a hurry and didn’t tell you. But I thought, since there are bodyguards following me, if you couldn’t find me, they’d be able to locate me for you. Tong Tong called me to the hospital. Firebird was seriously injured saving her. I still smell of disinfectant, so I’ll take a shower first."

She went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and let the warm water wash over her entire body.

Gu Xiaozhan watched the silhouette behind the glass door. Had her memories come back? Had she recalled those past events?

Did she know Firebird’s true identity? If she knew the stories of the past, would she still stay by his side?
