Mu Lans whole body felt like burning in fire. She never went through such painful experience before. When people were burnt, they died. But for Mu Lan, it was eternal. She was burning, but she would not die from it. It was more like she was in hell for her crimes of her mortal life.

Mu Lan fell on the floor. She tried to hug herself, but she couldnt. Tears fell from her eyes as she rolled on the cold floor.

What did you give me? Her voice was hoarse.

Doctor Jias smile was angelic. She said, It is a poison called R-0. It kills people slowly. People die after suffering hellish torture. Isnt it wonderful?

Mu Lan screamed once again in pain. Her calm and collected appearance was destroyed. She asked in a high tone, Why me?

Doctor Jia lifted an eyebrow. Why you? Why you, you say. She sat on the floor beside Mu Lan and grabbed her silky hazel hair.

Mu Lan did not feel anything anyway. Her body was already in the seventh hell. She felt that she was drowning in blood and fire. She had no time to think or feel if someone was pulling her hair or not.

Did you think I will let you have Major General Xin? He is mine and mine alone. Doctor Jia pulled Mu Lans hair till she could see Mu Lans pained expression.

Mu Lan could hardly hear anything that the doctor said. She almost passed out. She said in her broken voice, Take him if you must. I already have a fianc.

Looking at Mu Lan who still didnt back down and showed a deadly glare, Doctor Jia felt annoyed. She threw Mu Lans head on the floor and stood up. She said, I think you dont want the antidote. If you want it, beg me.

Go to hell. Mu Lan cursed and again gave out a hideous scream.

The doctor was very unsatisfied. She pulled her right leg higher to kick Mu Lan in the head. Thats when someone barged into the room.

Whats going on? Xins expression was grim and his voice carried iciness.

The moment he entered, he saw Little Lan lying and Doctor Jia was ready to kick her.

Doctor Jia was startled and nearly fell, but she balanced herself. However, she couldnt stand long. Xin came close to her and threw her on the ground. The doctors face twisted as she was in pain.

Xin hurriedly went close to Mu Lan and took her in his arms.

Mu Lan was feeling better on the cold floor. As soon as she was in Xins warm embrace, she twisted her body and screamed, Let go. Tears covered her whole face.

Xin felt like someone pierced his body by cutting him several times. He looked at Jia, who was still in the ground and asked, What did you give her? He glared at her.

R-0. I didnt know that it will make her feel pain. Doctor Jia shuddered.

Xin placed Mu Lan on the bed and came close to the doctor. He pulled out his pistol and put it on her head. You didnt know? You are one of the researchers of this poison and you did not know? You think that you are working under an idiot?

N-no, no, I dont dare to. Doctor Jia turned pale.

Give me the antidotes. Xins icy voice made the doctor tremble in horror.

B-but they wont heal her hundred.. She stuttered.

Give them to me! Xins commanding voice echoed in the bedroom.

Doctor Jia hurriedly gave him a box which contained the antidotes.

Xin poked her head with his pistol and said, Go to the campus and bring back the real antidote. Ill give you three days. If you dont come back in time, wait for the news of your familys assassination.

Doctor Jias eyes turned red. Tears flew from her red eyes. She nodded.

Get lost. I dont want to see your face again. Xin said as he poked her harder with his weapon.

Doctor Jia got up and walked as fast as she could. She clenched her fists and her beautiful face turned ugly.

I wont forgive her. I will never forgive her. Because of Mu Lan, Xin put a pistol on Doctor Jias head. It was very humiliating for her.

Xin came closer to Mu Lan and asked worriedly, Little Lan, does it hurt too much? He tried to touch her hand.

Mu Lan slapped his hand away as she rolled in the bed. Her head was going blank. She looked at Xin furiously and said, Dont touch me with that hand of yours.

Xin took out the antidote and said in a pained voice. Little Lan, I have the antidote. Ill give them to you. Please stay with me forever. I wont ever hurt you again.

Mu Lan screamed in pain again. With the last bit of her energy, she said, Get lost! Who.. who will ma.. rry you? Liang. Liang would ne. ver hurt me like this.

Even in pain, she remembered what Xue Lin told her at the ball.

You should love him with all you have Not everyone can have a rich, handsome, caring and loyal husband. You should consider yourself lucky.

Mu Lans tears fell as she thought of that. She murmured Liang Liang few times and lost consciousness.

Xin was frozen on the spot. Someone was actually better than him, it made him go crazy. Something hurt him even more. That was, Mu Lan said that he was hurting her.

Im hurting you? Xin murmured.

But when he heard call Mu Lan Liang Liang few times, he frowned.

Liang Liang. Liang as Mu Liang? Is he her Xin did not think anymore. His eyes turned absolutely cold. He touched Mu Lans teary face.

Though she was burning inside, Mu Lans skin was turning cold. Feeling the things werent right, Xin injected her a tube of antidote. Soon, her body started to get warm.

Xin sighed in relief. He looked at Little Lan intensely.

I wont let any other man have you. You are mine. Mine only. My precious. He bent down and kissed Mu Lans pale lips.
