Chapter 277 Arrival at the Sanatorium
Liang Fei did not answer Mu Xiaoyu's question. The Liang Fei at this moment was completely different from the Liang Fei in front of Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Peng was delighted to see the shock and regret in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
His words brought Mu Xiaoyu back to her senses. Mu Xiaoyu didn't even glance at Mu Pengzheng, nor did she argue with him.
I don't know what he was thinking, because he didn't say a single word after that.
Seeing this, Li Chenxu glanced at Mu Xiaoyu with some concern, as if he wanted to say something, but it was clearly not appropriate to speak in the current situation.
In the end, Li Chenxu could only gently hold Mu Xiaoyu's hand, silently comforting her, where Mu Pengzheng couldn't see him.
Sensing Li Chenxu's action, Mu Xiaoyu did not look at Li Chenxu, but instead pulled her hand away from Li Chenxu's grasp and took his hand in return.
Even though she feels regret, self-blame, and anger, she will not be discouraged.
The self-pitying Mu Xiaoyu of the past is long gone; the current Mu Xiaoyu has been completely transformed.
Now that things have come to this, all she can do is try to salvage the situation and avoid becoming a burden to Li Chenxu. If it really comes to a final life-or-death moment, she cannot let anything happen to Li Chenxu.
In that brief moment, countless thoughts flashed through Mu Xiaoyu's mind, but without exception, they all revolved around protecting Li Chenxu's safety...
The car drove for nearly an hour before finally stopping at the location Li Chenxu had indicated.
The sanatorium where Li Chenxu initially placed Mu Xiaoyu's mother was a private sanatorium on the outskirts of the city. Because of its high price and remote location, it was rarely frequented by people.
It was the middle of the night when Li Chenxu and his group arrived, immediately attracting the attention of the security guards at the gate.
Li Chenxu had visited quite a few times, and given his reputation as a prominent figure in the capital, the security guards had naturally tolerated him. Seeing him arrive at this particular time, however, they were understandably surprised.
"Mr. Li? What brings you here at this hour..."
After he finished speaking, he noticed Mu Pengzheng and Mu Xiaoyu standing next to Li Chenxu.
Although the group seemed normal on the surface, for some reason, the security guard felt that they were different from the usual Li Chenxu.
He took a few steps forward, wanting to get a better look at the situation on Li Chenxu's side, but he had only taken a couple of steps when Li Chenxu suddenly walked towards him and said, "I'm leaving the capital in a while to take care of some things, and I wanted to come and see Auntie again before I leave."
Since Li Chenxu had already spoken up, the security guard didn't dare to say anything more. He nodded in agreement and helped Li Chenxu open the door while rambling on, "Actually, Mr. Li, you've been here long enough. There are people taking care of you at the sanatorium, so you don't need to worry too much."
Li Chenxu at the sanatorium was noticeably different from how he was outside. He was approachable and even when the security guards were a bit long-winded, he didn't show any impatience. Instead, he listened patiently to the guards.
Moreover, judging from this, it's clear that this has always been the case when Li Chenxu came here before.
Not to mention Mu Pengzheng and the others, even Mu Xiaoyu, who was closest to Li Chenxu, couldn't help but be surprised to see Li Chenxu like this.
"Mr. Li, please go in first. There are people on duty inside who will take you in later."
The security guard had already opened the gate, but he couldn't help glancing at Mu Pengzheng and the others as he spoke. He looked even more puzzled when he saw how close Mu Pengzheng and Mu Xiaoyu were.
Anyone who knows even a little about either Mu Xiaoyu or Li Chenxu knows about their relationship.
But now, Mu Xiaoyu is standing so close to a man like Mu Pengzheng, right in front of Li Chenxu. It just seems so strange.
So after watching Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu go inside, the security guard thought for a moment and finally dialed the phone number that Assistant Lin had left there.
At this time of day, the sanatorium was quiet. Their footsteps were soft, but they still sounded exceptionally clear in the otherwise silent sanatorium.
"Mr. Li? What brings you here?"
When the nurse on duty saw Li Chenxu coming, her reaction was exactly the same as that of the security guards outside. However, unlike the security guards, the nurse didn't actually look at Li Chenxu at all when she spoke. Her eyes were fixed on Mu Xiaoyu and Mu Pengzheng.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu nodded and used the same excuse he had given the security guard earlier. After finishing his sentence, he added, "My wife and I will go in first to check on Auntie. If there's nothing else, you don't need to come in."
The nurse nodded, seemingly lost in thought, glanced at Mu Pengzheng, and then said nothing more.
Without saying anything more, Li Chenxu led Mu Pengzheng and the others directly to Mu Xiaoyu's mother's ward.
All the patients here have their own private rooms, so after Li Chenxu led them in, he closed the door, immediately isolating them from the outside world.
It was after they went inside that Mu Pengzheng's mood noticeably changed.
He grabbed Mu Xiaoyu and quickly walked to the bedside.
The commotion in the ward was not loud, but the woman on the bed seemed to feel uneasy. Just as Mu Peng was pulling Mu Xiaoyu closer to the bed, the woman opened her eyes.
The woman's resemblance to Mu Xiaoyu was not very obvious when she was asleep, but when she opened her eyes, it was clear that her face was extremely similar to Mu Xiaoyu's.
The woman seemed somewhat dazed, perhaps because she had just woken up. She didn't fully regain consciousness for a short time after seeing Mu Xiaoyu and Mu Pengzheng standing by the bed.
She felt a little better when she caught a glimpse of Li Chenxu to the side.
"Chen Xu? What are you doing here at this time..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that Mu Xiaoyu was standing on the hospital bed: "Xiaoyu? What are you doing here?"
Mu Xiaoyu's condition was deteriorating. In fact, she was completely dazed before entering the ward. It wasn't until she saw the person on the hospital bed that it was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her head, instantly bringing her back to her senses.
She opened her dry lips, and with almost all her strength, she managed to say, "So, you really are still alive..."
His voice was incredibly hoarse, sounding like he was about to cry at any moment.
