“Go prepare cold water!” He spoke coldly to me, not hiding his anger, like a child throwing a tantrum.
I looked at him expressionlessly. Although he was a patient, and although I was about to let him die, I was still a child. With so much water, it was somewhat awkward – at least care about whether I could carry it or not, instead of taking it for granted.
I glared at him and turned to leave the room. I didn’t dare stay in that room any longer. I didn’t know when he might have a toxic episode or turn into a beast, so it was best to stay as far away as possible.
The man watched the small figure’s back, staring for a long time.
Rushing out towards the door, it seemed my reaction was still too slow, and my steps tripped, with a scalding hand gripping my foot.
The cold of December surged into my heart, and I could no longer feel even the tension, only the coolness penetrating my skin. He had already been stopped by us once before, and this time I clearly understood that I no longer had the ability to make him listen.
In that moment of shock, my body was covered by a massive figure, my entire body burning like fire, with a calmness in my heart that even surprised myself, just calmly looking at his eyes filled with suppressed emotions.
In my heart, I was gambling on his reason at the brink of desperation, and I was also gambling on my luck – as long as Xiao Wu came back, I could be saved.
But everything was wrong, the man on top of me had no intention of stopping. Even though he was constantly restraining his desires and suppressing his actions, his rationality could no longer control his hands. His hands began to wander, continuously tearing at my clothes. The coolness gradually corroded my heart until I no longer had the strength to struggle.
I lay motionless, my hollow eyes staring at the carved ceiling, seeing Meng Xin’s worried face through the ceiling. Perhaps today could resolve my ridiculous life.
I foolishly believed that Qiu was someone I could unconditionally trust, my only relative, thinking I could continue living happily here.
