Chen Feibai’s mother opened her mouth. “What are you afraid of? My son is lying on the bed like a piece of trash. What can he do to your precious daughter?”
Her words made everyone’s faces freeze.
“Dad, Mom, it’s fine. He wants to see me; then I’ll go in and see him. I should have apologized to him in person anyway.” Chen Feitang bit her lips and looked at Lu Xingzhi. She broke free from her parents’ grip and pushed the door open to enter the room.
That was the first time Chen Feitang had seen Chen Feibai after the accident. It was also the first time she had seen Chen Feibai up close. When she realized that his handsome face was bandaged completely, her heart suddenly trembled.
She was the one who had caused Chen Feibai’s injuries.
Chen Feitang closed the door as she walked into the room. She stopped by Chen Feibai’s bedside; she was about to apologize when Chen Feibai’s voice beat her to it.
“Chen Feitang, congratulations. You tried so hard to get into the special forces, but you were the first to be eliminated in the third round! And the man you loved was the person to do that. You must feel uncomfortable about that, right? But you know what? I’m pleased to hear that. I think this is my happiest moment ever since that incident.”
Chen Feibai’s eyes were filled with hatred. “Chen Feitang, why should I suffer in hell while you soar so happily in heaven? Why?”
He did not give Chen Feitang any chance to speak. His heart jumped with joy when he saw Chen Feitang’s sickly pale face.
“You have loved Lu Xingzhi for so many years, but in the end, you were stabbed by the person you love the most. Chen Feitang, does your heart hurt?” Chen Feibai could not stop his laughter.
“Look at you. Your hands are stained with the blood of your loved ones, stained with the fate of others. How dirty are you? You are as scary as a devil. How can a person like you be worthy of Lu Xingzhi? A person like you is not even worthy to carry his shoes! The Chen family is ashamed to have you as a daughter. You are a disgrace to our family!”
Chen Feibai’s words were like a sharp blade that stabbed into Chen Feitang’s heart—each one deeper than the other.
“Chen Feibai, it is my fault that you are like this now. However, I didn’t do it on purpose! Why are you doing this to me?” Chen Feitang shouted angrily. “I didn’t want to do it either. I didn’t do it on purpose! I really wanted to apologize to you. Why didn’t you give me a chance to say sorry?”
“What’s good is an apology? Will it give me back my future? Will my body be healthy again? No! Then what is the use of your apology?” Chen Feibai’s voice got louder than Chen Feitang’s.
“Do you think I want to say sorry to you?” Chen Feitang was utterly enraged by the wounded man on the bed. “Chen Feibai, ask yourself this—why were you hiding near me? Were you not trying to get me kicked out? Do you dare to swear that you did not try to find an opportunity to get me kicked out? If you did not think that, then you would not have been near me at all, and you wouldn’t end up like this! Maybe you did deserve it, have you ever thought that? You deserve it!”
The ward rooms were not adequately soundproofed, so everyone outside the room had heard Chen Feitang’s outburst. After Chen Feibai’s mother heard that, she was so angry that her entire body trembled.
Before anyone could react, Chen Feibai’s mother barged into the room. She grabbed Chen Feitang with one hand and swung the other on down heavily.
