Li Yinian closed her eyes and let the tears fall.
She gently raised the manâs hand and placed her chin on it. His hand was still warm, and the warmth seemed to give her more strength.
âThat day⦠After you guessed the truth, I didnât dare to look at you. I was afraid that I would see disgust and embarrassment on your face.â She suddenly smiled. âPart of the reason why I refused to tell you the truth is probably because of this. That way, at least in your heart, there would be something about us worth remembering. Unfortunatelyâ¦â
She choked up again at that.
The clock on the wall ticked. After the second hand ticked more than ten times, Li Yinian spoke again.
!!
âBy the way, let me tell you a secret. Actually, the childâs appearance wasnât an accident. I was the one who tampered with somethingâ¦â She opened her eyes and looked at his sleeping face. âYou didnât expect it, did you?â
For a moment, Li Yinian hoped that a miracle would really happen, but the man still didnât respond.
Fear lurked in her heart like a huge beast, devouring all her strength.
She sobbed softly and said again, âYouâve asked me so many times if I love youâ¦â
As she spoke, she leaned over and pressed her face against his chest.
However, her words stopped at this momentâbecause the manâs heartbeat was abnormally intense.
Her heart turned cold, and she subconsciously thought that he was in danger. At that moment, she was so afraid that she could not speak. She could only stand up instinctively and want to go out to call the doctor.
In the next second, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled hard.
She subconsciously stumbled and fell onto the manâs body.
Her pupils dilated as she watched the man raise his hand that was still on the drip, take off the oxygen mask, and take a deep breath.
âYouâre not done yet. Where do you think youâre going?â He opened his eyes and looked at her with his dark eyes. Although his face was still pale, he didnât look weak at all. His lips even curled into a smile.
Li Yinianâs heart pounded rapidly. After a while, she said hoarsely, âYouâre⦠awake? No, youâre not unconscious at all?â
Even if he did happen to wake up, it was impossible for him to react so quickly unless he was awake from the start.
No wonder his heart was beating so fast. It was obvious that he had heard everything she had said.
He had been pretending!
âItâs been a while. I heard that you were coming. I was afraid that you would turn around and leave after knowing that I was awake, so I had to do this.â Qiao Yanzeâs lips curled up even more. He was probably worried that the woman would run, so he continued to hold her wrist tightly and held her waist with his other arm.
Li Yinian widened her eyes and stared at him, not knowing how to react.
Was she surprised and excited because he had woken up, or was she angry because of his deception? Seeing the smile in the manâs eyes deepen, her anger still prevailed.
âLet go of me!â Her face turned red and she couldnât help struggling with all her might.
However, when she moved slightly, Qiao Yanze frowned and seemed to be in pain.
