He opened his eyes, and the sight of the hospital’s ceiling greeted him. He was dazed by the white ceiling for a while, unable to fathom where he was.
“Yu Zhe? How do you feel?”
A familiar voice rang out beside his ear.
Yu Zhe turned his head to the source of the voice and saw Mu Xiaoxiao’s worried face looking at him.
He blanked out for a while, but his memories quickly returned.
He remembered what had happened.
“Xiaoxiao…” He wanted to speak, but what came out of his throat was very hoarse, and he felt an intense thirst.
The nurse near them said, “Even though the patient has already woken up, he has lost a lot of blood. He needs a bit of water to moisten his throat and lips to speak properly.
“Oh, oh, okay!” Mu Xiaoxiao poured out a glass of water in a hurry.
Just then, Yin Shaojie walked in. Upon seeing this scene, he stopped her swiftly. “Why are you pouring the water? You, pour the water and feed it to him!” he commanded the nurse.
/ . com / The nurse bowed hastily and said, “Yes.”
Yin Shaojie tugged on Mu Xiaoxiao and pulled her to his side, frowning at her. “Why are you being so nice to this fellow who betrayed you? It’s already good enough that he hasn’t died.”
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned too. “Don’t say that! Yu Zhe saved me too.”
Yin Shaojie snorted coldly. “He saved you? Does he think that that will make up for everything else?”
“But… I feel that he has his own difficulties. Can’t you let me ask him about it first?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked him earnestly.
Yin Shaojie spat uncaringly, “I don’t care!”
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. “But I want to know!”
Yin Shaojie replied tyrannically, “You don’t have to know either!”
Given her personality, if that fellow had really been put in a spot, he knew that Mu Xiaoxiao would definitely forgive him.
Humph! A traitor should never be forgiven!
Mu Xiaoxiao quietened down. She looked at him with her large eyes and said, “I just want to know.”
She also didn’t know if she would be able to forgive Yu Zhe.
Either way, she still wanted to know why Yu Zhe wanted to betray her.
He must have had his own difficulties.
If not, why would he put his life on the line to save her in the end?
“I really don’t know what to do with you.” Yin Shaojie sighed and pinched her cheek.
He sent the nurse away upon seeing that she was done feeding Yu Zhe.
Mu Xiaoxiao nudged him. “You should go out too.”
Yin Shaojie shot a glance at her. “Why should I go out? I want to listen too.”
Helpless, Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to allow him to stay.
She pulled a chair over and sat by the bed. Looking at Yu Zhe as he lay on the bed, she asked concernedly, “How are you feeling right now?”
Yin Shaojie kicked the leg of her chair. “Get to the point!”
Mu Xiaoxiao cast a sideways look at him.
Yu Zhe slowly regained his consciousness and recalled all that had happened before. Frankly speaking, his life had been spared by Yin Shaojie, and if Yin Shaojie hadn’t arrived in time, he would have died of blood loss.
He looked at Xiaoxiao quietly, and said in a hoarse voice, “Xiaoxiao… I’m sorry.”
His first words were still full of apology.
/ . com / Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him fixedly. “I accept your apology.”
He did owe an apology to her.
Yu Zhe pursed his lower lip before continuing, “I… won’t try to deny my wrongdoing. I really did betray you.”
