Chapter 319 - Medical Treatment

The mistress stared at Jun Huang, trying to discern the truth to her words. Her tone was earnest, though, and her expression genuine.

waiting for you. I can’t stand not having any answers. It’s torturous to be in the dark. So I’d like to ask if you have any idea how I can regain my memory.” Jun Huang looked him straight in the eyes, her gaze serious and intent. Nan Xun couldn’t possibly say no to her, and the thought never once crossed his mind.

He nodded. “We don’t know what went wrong. The most important thing now is to understand what’s been done to you and how you’ve been recovering. The rest we’ll discuss later.”

“So what’s next?” asked Jun Huang.

Nan Xun lowered his eyes in contemplation. He’d heard of a widely-respected doctor when he was in the imperial city. Many had sought him out for help. His clinic might be worth a try.

He told her what he thought. She was hesitant. She looked outside the window. The manor was filled with patrolling guards. Their number had grown substantially ever since what happened yesterday.

Nan Xun knew what she was worried about. “I don’t have any troubles dealing with them. I can easily take you away if I want. The only reason I haven’t is the situation we’re in. It’s safer for you to stay than to leave with me. No one in this manor intends to hurt you, at least for now. Outside the walls, things are unpredictable. I don’t want to risk your safety.”

Jun Huang was touched. Perhaps he was the only person who still put her safety first.

“Anything else?” Nan Xun asked with a slight frown.

Jun Huang broke out of her trance and nodded. “What’s going to happen next after we leave? We can’t get out of the manor during daytime, but at night, no clinics will be open. All your hard work will be for nothing.”

“That’s not something you should worry about. I’ve made the necessary arrangements. Even if you hadn’t asked me for help, I’d break you out.” Without giving her a chance to argue, Nan Xun added, “We can go tonight. I’ll get you out of here.”

“Alright.” Jun Huang pushed aside all her reservation. She got prepared and followed Nan Xun to the window. He surveyed the area carefully, getting a good grasp on the patrolling patterns. Now was the best time for them to leave.

Nan Xun turned to Jun Huang and was met with her unwavering gaze. Perhaps not even she realized how soft her eyes were. He quirked his lips into a secret smile. He wasn’t going to break the moment by mentioning it.

He gathered her into his arms. She glanced at him and quickly lowered her eyes. Nan Xun leaned into her and whispered, “Hold on tight. We’re sneaking out as soon as we land. We’ll be fine after evading the guards and leaving the manor.”

Jun Huang nodded, holding onto Nan Xun’s shirt. His expression turned serious as his sharp eyes took in the environment. He jumped with Jun Huang in his arms and broke his fall with a push of his feet, landing without making the slightest noise. He took Jun Huang’s hand and led her to hide behind a wall.

Jun Huang was shocked by his fluid movement. Before she could say anything, Nan Xun covered her mouth. She stared at his face in the dark, her eyes wide.
