“What’s wrong?” Yue Linze asked gently, then oh-ed, “Now, can you explain why that person was coming after you?”
Tao Yu looked at him with red-rimmed eyes. After a moment, her blood-stained hand covered her face, and her shoulders began to tremble. Yue Linze saw liquid flowing between her fingers and immediately frowned, pursing his lips before holding her in his one good arm.
This seemed to be a signal. Tao Yu’s crying instantly went from choked to wailing, uncontrollably biting his coat, quickly dampening a large area.
Yue Linze patiently patted her back. When her breathing became irregular from crying, he stopped her: “If you keep crying, I’ll have to kiss you.”
His threat was ineffective, so he directly acted, pecking her a few times like a chick. This made Tao Yu even more heartbroken, her voice slightly distorted: “Do you know who you’re kissing just like that? I’m not a doctor!”
“…I’m not a patient either,” Yue Linze raised an eyebrow. Was this the moment of truth?
Tao Yu whimpered, and facing the bloody smell in the car, she finally broke down and revealed her identity, confessing almost everything except the events in the spiritual world.
She cried while speaking, and her eyes quickly swelled. Yue Linze could only hold her hand to prevent her from wiping her eyes with her sleeve. After confessing everything, she was completely exhausted but still weakly said, “Although I lied to you, your body has recovered. So can you at least give me half my salary to help me pay off the high-interest loan?
Yue Linze didn’t expect her to still be thinking about this at such a moment, and immediately fell silent. Tao Yu carefully glanced at him and hesitantly said, “If you don’t want to give it, forget it. Just consider it free work. Can you not sue me?”
Although telling everything would have endless consequences, her heart felt cleaner now. She only prayed it wouldn’t affect her career. As for feelings… forget it. She was just a liar, temporarily unqualified to discuss that.
Yue Linze silently looked at her for a long time. When her inner anxiety reached its peak, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile: “You’ve deceived me so much and even got me injured. Just this won’t be enough.”
