My Beloved

Chapter 443 - WHAT'S WRONG



Mo Yuan brought a tray full of meals. Since both of them didn\'t have anything last night, Rose gave them two portions of each dish. He placed the tray on the table and then sat on the bed. His fingers brushed over Han Luo\'s hair and moved them away from her face.

He gently called her, "Ah Luo, breakfast is here. Let\'s eat before it gets cold."

"Umm." Han Luo slowly opened her eyes. As if her eyelids were heavier than stones. She could barely keep her eyes open. She forced herself to open her mouth and mumbled, "I don\'t want to."

Mo Yuan carefully pulled her despite her protest and affectionately spoke, "Don\'t say that. You didn\'t eat anything last night. How about you sleep after eating, hmm?"

"Ow…" Han Luo frowned in pain and circled her arms around his neck. She put her head on the crook of his neck and wouldn\'t budge anymore.

Mo Yuan\'s heart softened at her spoiled acting. "Let\'s wash our faces first, shall we?" After suggesting that, he carried her to the bathroom. He let her sit on the counter and took their brushes.

After freshening up, he carried her to the bed. While feeding her, he ate his meals and as she requested, he prepared a hot bath. He mixed some herbal medicine. When he asked his mother if he had some medicine to relieve pain, Ma Rui gave him the herbal medicine and instructed him on how to use them.

Han Luo relaxed in the hot water. She kept her eyes shut and tried to sleep. The medicine was very effective. The soreness on her joints and muscles began to fade away. Furthermore, Mo Yuan was massaging her arms and legs. She yawned. Her heart was blissful.

"I will wash your hair first." Mo Yuan stood up and took the shampoo bottle that Han Luo always used. Accidentally, the bottle slipped from his hand because his hand was slippery.

Thud!

The bottle fell on the floor and the substance came out of it.

"What happened?" Han Luo groggily opened her eyes and looked for the source of the sound. She saw her favorite shampoo lying on the floor.

"Ah! I\'m sorry." Mo Yuan quickly bent to take the bottle. As he was about to get it, his hand paused in the midair.

The black tiles began to change color where the transparent shampoo had fallen. The tiles slowly turned ashen. There were also some bubbles. Even the grouts in between the tiles started to change.

Mo Yuan furrowed his eyebrow. He knew there were some chemicals that could change cause a change in colors. And, shampoo wasn\'t one of them. His eyes turned to the cabinet at the corner of the bathroom where the bleach bottle was kept. The cabinet door was slightly open. The last time he went to the washroom, the door was closed.

"What\'s wrong?" Han Luo asked in a sleepy tone when she saw Mo Yuan wasn\'t moving.

Mo Yuan declared with a solemn expression, "You cannot use this shampoo anymore."

"Why not?" Han Luo inquired.

Mo Yuan disclosed the matter, "Someone has mixed bleach with the shampoo."

"What?" Han Luo\'s sleepiness flew out of the washroom door. "But when?"

Mo Yuan questioned her, "Did someone come to our room after I went to fetch our breakfast?"

"…I don\'t know." Han Luo couldn\'t tell since she fell asleep after he left the room.

Mo Yuan\'s expression was grave. "Maybe I should install surveillance cameras around the house."

"That\'s not necessary." Han Luo didn\'t agree because it\'s a home where everyone relaxed. Surveillance cameras would take peace and privacy away from the house. "Did you touch the bleach that\'s in the cabinet?"

"No," Mo Yuan shortly answered.

Han Luo thought for a while before saying, "Then let\'s check the fingerprints. Mary used it yesterday. I don\'t see any motive she could have to add bleach in my shampoo. However, if it\'s not her fingerprints then…"

Mary was the new maid who came after Benjamin stopped working as a servant. She was a joyful, expressive girl. She was open-minded. She admired Ma Rui and Han Luo a lot. It was hard to imagine that she would do something to harm Han Luo.

Mo Yuan finished her sentence, "Then it has to be the culprit. There are more bleach bottles in every washroom. They could use any of those."

Han Luo knew about the management of this house more than him. She explained, "There is another month left before the bleach is used. That\'s why anyone will be suspicious if they see someone carrying bleach for no reason. If someone really has a plan to harm me, they will use the one that\'s in this bathroom."

Mo Yuan nodded. "Hmm, you are right. Let me use my shampoo then. I\'ll take care of it later."

"Okay, check it before you use it," Han Luo warned him. It could be that the targets were both of them.

"Of course," Mo Yuan checked his shampoo before washing her hair.

After the bath, Han Luo went back to the bedroom and Mo Yuan called his men to investigate. Two men came. One was his assistant and another one was from the forensic.

In the end, the fingerprints they discovered, belonged to no one in this household.

"Could it be someone came to the room when we were in the hall?" Han Luo asked.

Mo Yuan squeezed her hand before instructing his men, "Gather everyone who is still in the house and take their fingerprints."

"Yes, sir!" His assistant left and gathered everyone in the living room.

"What\'s happening?" Ma Rui was confused. She just came out of her room and saw everyone was being gathered in the living room.

"Mom, someone tried to harm Ah Luo." Mo Yuan explained everything to her.

"What?!" Ma Rui was astounded upon hearing that. She could never imagine even in her dreams that Han Luo could be harmed in her own house. Her face instantly paled.. "Where is Luo\'er?" she asked anxiously.
