Ling Mo was personally recommended by Sean Xuan, who wrote to Serena Feng asking her to look after him; he was also the rare friend that Zuo An openly admitted to having. No matter whether their deal for buying his life ever goes through, Serena has already decided that Ling Mo is one of her own.
Serena Feng is fiercely protective of her own, and she’s also a doctor with a conscience. She couldn’t just let Ling Mo walk out like this, and she absolutely wouldn’t allow someone she considers 'her own' to leave with such a serious injury if she could help it.
As for Ling Mo’s wishes? That’s not Serena’s concern.
"Sit down and behave. If you have something to say, wait until your mouth is healed." Serena dropped her gentle façade, queenly authority radiating from her as she startled Ling Mo into silence. He’d just opened his mouth when Serena shot him a fierce look; remembering the rule that a wise man doesn’t fight with women, Ling Mo could only shut his mouth.
Serena Feng was always decisive. If she didn’t treat Ling Mo’s wounds properly tonight, she’d never get any sleep. She called for Dorian Owen and had him bring Ling Mo to the small cabin clinic, while she prepared the necessary medicine inside.
Before heading to the cabin, Serena had already changed into her work clothes. To avoid being mistaken for a ghost by the Feng Manor staff, she swapped her usual white doctor’s coat for a blue cotton outfit.
She tucked her long hair into a cap and wore a large mask over her face. If it weren’t for those familiar eyes, Ling Mo wouldn’t have recognized that the person in front of him was Serena Feng.
Dorian Owen was long used to Serena’s getup. Seeing her dressed like this, he cooperated by shrinking into a corner and pretending he didn’t exist. When Serena shot him a look telling him to get lost, Dorian just played dumb and stared at the ceiling.
He insisted on guarding Serena up close. Heh...
Playing dumb was second nature to Dorian, and Serena didn’t have time to argue with him. Besides, treating Ling Mo wasn’t exactly something she needed to hide.
