"Are you alright, Mo Chen?"
Ignoring the unconscious Doctor Zhang, Mo Roulan moved towards her brother.
"Yes, Jiejie"
Little Mo Chen said softly, however, his tears kept falling as Mo Roulan untied him. His eyes didn't move away from his sister's face and they slowly moved towards her leg.
"Jiejie, what happened to your leg?"
Mo Roulan's heart melted when she heard the worry and concern in her brother's voice. She untied him without delaying for a moment and then cupped his small face in between her palms.
"Nothing.Just a small wound. Jiejie would be alright. Now we need to get out from here, alright?"
Mo Chen wiped his face with his hands and nodded his head vigorously.
Mo Roulan helped Mo Chen getting down from the chair. She knew that her brother must not have eaten anything since last afternoon.
She, too, did not.
However, she could bear it but she was afraid that her brother would go unconscious at any moment seeing how pale his face looked.
Mo Roulan knew that it would be a hectic task to escape from this place if Mo Chen fainted due to hunger so she tried to help as much as she could.
When she turned around, her eyes fell on the silent Zhu Jiangru standing in a corner of the room. Mo Roulan paused amidst her steps.
She didn't really know what she should say to him.
Fortunately, Zhu Jiangru was a sensible boy. He just glanced at Mo Chen with guilt-filled eyes and then looked at Mo Roulan with a firm gaze as he said
"You can leave. I will manage here."
Mo Roulan sighed in relief.
However, her face went pale for a moment and she inhaled sharply when she noticed the pool of blood that was gathering around Doctor Zhang's body. She hurriedly looked away as she exhaled a trembling sigh.
She really killed the middle-aged man. Mo Roulan was now almost sure of this fact.
Killing someone was not a small thing for her…even if it was the doctor who was digging her brother's heart out of his chest.
However, the circumstances didn't allow Mo Roulan to fall weak at this moment. She just couldn't.
She had a brother to save.
Not wanting to dwell too much into this fact, she decided to leave this room as soon as possible.
Before she staggered towards the door of the room with her brother, she said to Zhu Jiangru to leave the room as well. She knew that he couldn't bear to look at the sight of blood.
And at this moment, Doctor Zhang was lying there in a pool of blood.
So she advised him sincerely.
While passing through Zhu Jiangru, she whispered 'thanks' to him in a low voice.
Mo Chen just glanced at Zhu Jiangru for a fleeting moment during this small conversation. Zhu Jiangru tried to force a smile on his lips when he saw him looking at him.
However, Mo Chen tore his gaze away with fear-filled eyes.
Zhu Jiangru could understand his fear so he didn't mind his actions.
He knew that he must be hurt by his parents' actions.

After leaving Doctor Zhang's not-so-small lab, Mo Roulan took Mo Chen towards the corridor through which she had entered.
While coming towards the lab, she had specially asked Zhu Jiangru where the exit this huge house was.
The sensible boy even told her the password she would need to fill in order to leave the house.
"That doctor …he looked familiar?"
Mo Roulan whispered suddenly as the face of Doctor Zhang was not leaving her mind even for a moment. Mo Chen who was trying to support his sister stared at her with his big black eyes and said
"Jiejie, you don't remember? He was the doctor who had checked me when we have gone to the hospital last time."
Realization dawned into Mo Roulan's brain and she stopped walking for a moment because she was too shocked.
These conspiracies ran too deep for her to understand.
At this moment, she just wished that she can get out of this hellish place as soon as possible with Mo Chen.
Mo Roulan heaved another sigh of relief when they had reached the exit without any trouble and she filled the password immediately on the screen.
When the door opened, she smiled seeing how her brother's eyes were brightened. It was good that he was talking and smiling.
She was afraid that all these would leave a deep shadow Mo Chen's heart …something she didn't want.
"Let's go."
She whispered to her brother and then stepped out of the house.
However, before the door closed, something came into Mo Roulan's mind and she asked Mo Chen to stay out of the door.
Then she went inside the house.
With narrowed eyes, she looked at the screen where she had filled the password previously. It seemed to work the same way the system installed outside her apartment did.
Mo Roulan smiled coldly as her fingers worked on the screen.
When she staggered out of the house again, Mo Chen was confused to see the smile on his sister's face.
"Jiejie, what did you do?"
He asked his sister as he watched the doors closing again automatically. His hand went forward to held his sister's hand as he tried to support her with her small frame.
"I changed the password."
Mo Chen's eyes were filled with a little joy after hearing his sister's words.
"Jiejie is so intelligent."
He said cheerfully. However, Little Mo Chen had to stop amidst widening his smile as he felt hurt on doing that.
But he hid his pain very well.
Mo Roulan eyes went teary by seeing this. She didn't know why but she could feel that her brother seemed to have grown up a little after this incident.
Somewhere all of this has affected him.
He now was learning to hide his pain from her.
If it was previous Mo Chen, then he would have cried out and asked her to blow on his bruise softly.
That was her innocent brother.
However, Mo Chen had matured now. He even wanted to support her body seeing that she was having difficulty in walking.
The sisterly affection inside her heart for her brother made her eyes more teary and she ruffled her brother's hair with a small bittersweet smile on her lips.
As long as he was safe, she could always make him just like before.
