“Don’t you dare to say one more word!” Lu Si almost roared at her.
This was the first time he had spoken so sternly to Mei Shu.
But only the tears sliding down from the corners of his eyes knew how much he was hurting.
Time was slipping away relentlessly, second by second.
Lu Si stayed by Mei Shu’s bed the entire time. Overnight, his stubble grew, and he was in an unprecedented sorry state.
As the first rays of sunlight peeked through the window, he suddenly realized that his body had become stiff and numb.
Having been immersed in darkness for so long, the sudden sunlight felt a bit harsh.
He turned his head slightly, and his gaze fell on the black box at the bedside.
He slowly lifted his cold fingers, opened the lid, and took out the string of pearl necklace inside.
Lu Si had thought all night but couldn’t understand why Mei Shu had such a strong reaction to this necklace.
The only explanation was that this necklace had appeared in Mei Shu’s past life and had caused her considerable harm.
But hadn’t this necklace always been carefully preserved by Auntie?
Under what circumstances did Mei Shu see it again?
Unable to comprehend the situation, and not knowing where to start investigating.
Lu Si felt a splitting headache and an unprecedented sense of powerlessness in his heart.
What had Mei Shu experienced in her past life, which she deliberately concealed from him and was unwilling to speak about?
Jiang He arrived at the hospital at nine in the morning.
Lu Si gave him a day off yesterday, so he only learned this morning about Mei Shu’s sudden collapse at the party.
He hadn’t had time to tidy himself up, so he hastily brought some medicines and daily necessities that might be needed.
Seeing Lu Si, he instinctively held his breath.
Having been with Master Si for so many years, he had never seen Master Si show such a gloomy and fierce expression.
Nervously and fearfully, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly placed the things in his hands on the bedside table. “Master Si, why don’t you take a rest for a while? I’ll take care of things here.”
Lu Si shook his head and handed over the box in his hand. “Find out the origin of this necklace, and try to find everyone who has handled this necklace. Also, investigate Auntie’s purpose in coming to the city.”
“President Fu has come to the city?” Jiang He remembered that since losing their eldest daughter, the Fu family had been watching Fu An very closely.
How could they now allow her to come alone to such a distant place?
Lu Si continued with a gloomy expression, “Not only do we need to find out her purpose, but also find out who she has met since arriving in the city, who she has been particularly close to. Make a list, and 1’11 personally review it.”
Jiang He didn’t understand what he needed to check, nor did he dare to ask. It was just that Master Si’s expression was too terrifying at the moment.
Lu Si thought very clearly. If Mei Shu’s abnormality was caused by this necklace, then following this clue would definitely lead to results.
Mei Shu had probably never left the city in her past life, which meant that the person who caused her tragedy might be around them.
Now that Fu An had suddenly come to the city and brought this necklace, Mei Shu’s tragedy in her past life might have started from this point. He wouldn’t let anyone who had contact with Fu An go unchecked.
Because any one of them could become the executioner who would harm Mei Shu in the future.
Realizing this, Lu Si’s sense of powerlessness in his heart slightly diminished.
As long as the tragedy of this life hadn’t unfolded yet, he still had a chance to save Mei Shu and let her live through this life safely. For this, he was willing to pay any price.
The person on the sickbed seemed to sense something and suddenly furrowed her brows in unease.
Lu Si immediately stepped forward and tightly held her hand. “Shu’er, are you awake? Can you hear me? Can you hear me talking?”
“Uh…” Mei Shu laboriously lifted her heavy eyelids, her eyes blank for a while before slowly focusing. When she saw the unkempt man in front of her turn out to be Lu Si, a sense of detachment quickly rose in her eyes.
Since she might die, there was no need to continue to waste his sincere affection.
Determined, Mei Shu slowly withdrew her hand from his cold grip and said expressionlessly, “Lu Si, there’s actually something I’ve always wanted to tell you. I can’t stand your grandfather’s temper, and 1 don’t want to continue trying to please him. Let’s end it. 1 don’t want to continue anymore.”
Lu Si naturally knew she was speaking against her heart. His heart ached, and his face showed a hint of anger. “Are you deliberately trying to push me away?”
Mei Shu lowered her eyes guiltily. Before she could utter even colder words, her lips were suddenly sealed tightly by someone.
For a moment, the room fell silent, with only the two of them breathing rapidly.
Incredulously, she widened her eyes and momentarily forgot to push the person away.
After Lu Si punished her with a kiss, he finally let her go and roared at her fiercely, “Don’t you dare to speak like that again! Although 1 don’t know what you’re up to, don’t forget, as long as I’m here in this life, nothing that could harm you will happen!”
