He opened his eyes, and the sight of the hospitalâs ceiling greeted him. He was dazed by the white ceiling for a while, unable to fathom where he was.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYu Zhe? How do you feel?â
A familiar voice rang out beside his ear.
Yu Zhe turned his head to the source of the voice and saw Mu Xiaoxiaoâs worried face looking at him.
He blanked out for a while, but his memories quickly returned.
He remembered what had happened.
âXiaoxiaoâ¦â 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, âEven 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.
âOh, oh, okay!â 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. âWhy are you pouring the water? You, pour the water and feed it to him!â he commanded the nurse.
/ . com / The nurse bowed hastily and said, âYes.â
Yin Shaojie tugged on Mu Xiaoxiao and pulled her to his side, frowning at her. âWhy are you being so nice to this fellow who betrayed you? Itâs already good enough that he hasnât died.â
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned too. âDonât say that! Yu Zhe saved me too.â
Yin Shaojie snorted coldly. âHe saved you? Does he think that that will make up for everything else?â
âBut⦠I feel that he has his own difficulties. Canât you let me ask him about it first?â Mu Xiaoxiao asked him earnestly.
Yin Shaojie spat uncaringly, âI donât care!â
Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. âBut I want to know!â
Yin Shaojie replied tyrannically, âYou donât have to know either!â
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, âI just want to know.â
She also didnât 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?
âI really donât know what to do with you.â 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. âYou should go out too.â
Yin Shaojie shot a glance at her. âWhy should I go out? I want to listen too.â
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, âHow are you feeling right now?â
Yin Shaojie kicked the leg of her chair. âGet to the point!â
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 hadnât arrived in time, he would have died of blood loss.
He looked at Xiaoxiao quietly, and said in a hoarse voice, âXiaoxiao⦠Iâm sorry.â
His first words were still full of apology.
/ . com / Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him fixedly. âI accept your apology.â
He did owe an apology to her.
Yu Zhe pursed his lower lip before continuing, âI⦠wonât try to deny my wrongdoing. I really did betray you.â
