The little nurse panicked upon hearing this and quickly went to call the doctor.

The doctor also didn't want to cause trouble and explained to Jia Wenjun, "The hospital only has cameras installed in public, open areas such as the hallways, lobby, reception desk, and pharmacy. Ordinary patient rooms, bathrooms, and utility rooms do not have cameras installed."

"The utility room is also a public area, why isn't there a camera? Now that something has happened, your hospital cannot shirk responsibility!"

The doctor didn't want to escalate the conflict and could only say, "The exact situation will only be known when the patient wakes up. If it was intentional, the police will handle it. If the patient fainted due to their own reasons, they have received timely treatment. I understand how you feel right now, but being too emotional is not good for your recovery."

Jia Wenjun knew that nothing she said would matter until her mother woke up. Her chest rose and fell rapidly as she suppressed her anger and forced herself to calm down.

"Has my mother woken up yet? I want to see her," Jia Wenjun said coldly.

"When I came over just now, the patient was still unconscious." The doctor's phone rang just as he finished speaking. After answering the call, he turned to Jia Wenjun and said, "Your mother has just woken up. I'll go with you now."

The burn unit was also in the same building. When Jia Wenjun arrived, her mother's injuries had already been treated, and she had been moved to a regular patient room.

On the way, Jia Wenjun called Wu Peng. It wasn't even seven o'clock yet, and she knew it wasn't appropriate to call him so early, but she had no other choice. If this was an intentional act of harm, having a lawyer present would prevent the hospital from concealing anything.

Wu Peng had been keeping watch in the old man's hospital room last night. Although it was called keeping watch, he had been working overtime on his laptop until late at night. Afraid of disturbing the old man, he took his laptop outside to work on a chair.

He worked until after two in the morning. The old man felt sorry for his grandson, but he couldn't say it nicely. Instead, he angrily said that his grandson didn't want him to rest and told him to leave if he wasn't going to sleep.

Only then did Wu Peng put away his computer and coax the old man to sleep.

He didn't expect the phone to ring just three or four hours later.

Wu Peng didn't know who would be calling him at this hour, but no matter who it was, they couldn't disturb his sleep.

Especially not wake up the old man.

Extremely annoyed, Wu Peng reached for his phone, intending to hang up, but accidentally pressed the answer button.

"Lawyer Wu, this is Jia Wenjun. Something has happened on my end, can you come over immediately?"

Jia Wenjun's clear voice reached him, and Wu Peng instantly opened his eyes.

Although he hated being woken up, the caller was his client, and he knew about Uncle Jia's situation yesterday, so he immediately got out of bed, opened the door quietly, and left the room. Only then did he say in a nasal voice, "Okay, I'll come to your room right away."

"No, go directly to the burn unit on the fourth floor. My mother is injured and has just woken up."

Wu Peng was stunned, "Aunt Jia?"

He had thought something had happened to Uncle Jia, but he didn't expect it to be Aunt Jia.

Jia Wenjun briefly explained the situation to Wu Peng.

Wu Peng was surprised, "Okay, I'll go to the fourth floor now."

After hanging up, Wu Peng quietly opened the door and entered the room. He didn't want to wake the old man, so he wanted to grab his bag and leave, but he didn't expect the old man to already be sitting up. "What are you doing so early, not sleeping?"

"A client is in trouble, I'm going over there." Wu Peng didn't want to tell the old man too much about the law firm's affairs.

"Is it that Jia Wenjun?" Old Man Wang asked with a stern face.

Although Wu Peng hadn't told the old man too much, he had told him about Jia Wenjun hiring Lawyer Liu as her defense attorney in order to understand the situation on the ship in detail.

"Yes."

"That woman even dares to kill people, what good could come from her looking for you? You should have less contact with her in the future. Tell Lawyer Liu to let someone else be responsible for this project."

Wu Peng popped a piece of gum into his mouth, "Why don't you just tell Lawyer Liu that I quit, I think that would be easier. Otherwise, he only has a few people under him, each with a pile of cases, no one will take over for me."

"You dare!" The old man had finally managed to get Wu Peng to become a lawyer, he couldn't let his grandson ruin his future for a woman like Jia Wenjun.

Wu Peng knew it would be like this. If the old man was really willing to let him quit because of this, he would really have to thank Jia Wenjun.

"Since I can't leave, I have to work, right? Okay, don't worry about my work, get some sleep, I'll come see you after I get off work." Wu Peng slung his bag over his shoulder, opened the door, and walked out.

The old man thought about Jia Wenjun's character and was afraid she would harm his grandson, but then he thought again, this wasn't the sea, and besides, she hired Lawyer Liu, his grandson was just doing odd jobs at most. Publicly and privately, she had no reason to do anything to Wu Peng.

Thinking of this, he sighed. He had thought that he could get away from those people and that incident once he got off the ship, but he didn't expect Jia Wenjun to be so persistent.

It seemed he had to keep a close eye on that woman for Wu Peng, to prevent her from having any bad intentions.

By the time Wu Peng found the burn unit, Jia Wenjun had already seen her mother awake in the hospital room.

"Mom, how are you feeling now?" Jia Wenjun asked, her voice choked with emotion, as she looked at her mother's treated leg.

Perhaps she had gotten used to the pain, Mother Jia wasn't in as much pain as she had been at the beginning. She sucked in a breath of cold air, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, don't cry."

The doctor had just told Jia Wenjun that her mother's leg had suffered deep second-degree burns. Because she had fallen to the ground, the burns were from her thigh to her calf.

Deep second-degree burns were already quite serious. Even if they healed, there would be significant aftereffects and scarring. Her mother, who loved beauty so much, might never be able to wear a skirt again.

Jia Wenjun composed herself and first asked the most important question, "Mom, what exactly happened to you? Why did you fall in the utility room?"

Mother Jia was about to speak when she suddenly looked at Wu Peng outside the door, her face paling.

"Aunt Jia, are you alright? What exactly happened?" Wu Peng walked to the bedside, looking at Mother Jia lying in bed.

Mother Jia's face was not good, as if she had been frightened. It took her a while to see the other person's face clearly, "Little Wu."

"Mom, I asked Lawyer Wu to come. You suddenly fainted and got hurt, and I have difficulty moving around, so I asked him to help."

Wu Peng looked at Mother Jia, "Aunt Jia, do you remember how you were injured in the utility room?"

Remembering the situation at the time, Mother Jia shrank back, looking frightened.

Jia Wenjun held her hand, her tone firm, "Mom, don't be afraid, this is a society governed by law. No matter who hurt you, we will seek justice."

Mother Jia's face was pale as she gripped her daughter's hand, calmed down for a while, and then said nervously, "You may not believe it if I say it, but I, I saw a ghost at the time."
