But as she thought about it, it made sense. The current him was not even willing to say a word to her. So there shouldn’t be anything wrong with him being angry.
In that moment, she was completely naked and she could not help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Instinctively, she pulled the bath towel hanging beside her to cover her body.
She lowered her head and coughed a few more times before she managed to calm down.
“Nothing much.” She just wanted to clear her mind for awhile and forgot that she didn’t know how to swim at all.
“Before Mom wakes up, you’d better not harm yourself! ”
Thinking of the moment when she held her whole body in the water, his heart felt as if it was being pulled by something hard, almost suffocating him!
Zuo Weiyi’s eyes looked at him in confusion.
However, by then, the worry and anxiety in Shi Yuting’s eyes had been replaced by indifference.
He turned his gaze away and did not look at her again.
But she instantly understood.
What he meant was that she had better be fine before his mother woke up. For only then could she continue to atone for her sins.
Her heart felt as if it had been slashed by a sharp knife.
Tears slid down her cheeks, but they just blended in with the water water that splashed on her face earlier.
Shi Yuting was standing, so he did not see the tears that were welling up in his eyes. Instead, he turned around and left the bathroom.
It was not until the bathroom door was closed again that Zuo Weiyi closed her eyes and let the tears continue to fall.
After crying for a while, she put on her pajamas and came out. The spacious bedroom was already empty.
She knew that he had already left.
At seven o’clock, the maid came up and asked her to eat. She did not have much appetite, so she refused.
The maid returned downstairs and entered the dining room. She glanced at Shi Yuting, who was sitting at the dining table. “Young Madam said that she doesn’t feel like eating.”
Shi Yuting was stunned. Then, he picked up the chopsticks in his hand and took a plate in the other. He used the chopsticks to pick up some vegetables and placed them on the plate.
“Take them up.”
The maid paused for a moment, then took the tray, placed the plates of vegetables and rice, and turned to leave.
“Make sure she finishes.”
Just as the maid was about to leave, Shi Yuting spoke again.
The servant paused for a moment, then nodded. After saying ‘Yes’, she turned around and left.
When she reached the second floor, the maid knocked on the door and pushed it open.
Zuo Weiyi sat on the bed and flipped through some books about waking those in vegetative states. She looked up when she saw the maid walk in.
“Young Madam.”
Seeing the food in the maid’s hands, Zuo Weiyi frowned slightly. “Didn’t I say that I don’t feel like eating?”
The maid paused for a moment. “But, the Young Master instructed you to eat all of it.”
Zuo Weiyi was surprised.
He had already left, but he still didn’t forget to instruct the maid. Was he afraid that she would go on a hunger strike?
“I have no appetite,” she said coldly. Then, she turned around and continued reading the book in her hand.
After a few seconds, she saw that the maid was still standing in the same spot without any intention of leaving.
She looked at the maid only to see a troubled expression looking back at her.
Upon meeting her eyes, the maid slowly lowered her gaze, as if she wouldn’t know how to explain herself to him if Zuo Weiyi did not eat.
In the end, Zuo Weiyi put down her book and took the food from the servant’s hands. She walked to the coffee table on the other side of the room and began to eat.
She ate very big mouthfuls, as if she was not eating dinner but completing a mission.
After finishing all the food, she stood up and said to the waiting maid, “Now you can report back to him.”
