"Does it hurt?" she asked as her hand went to the back of his head. She heard a loud noise earlier. It must have been his head hitting the floor.All she wanted to do was check the back of his head, but she forgot about their situation now. She was on top of him while he was naked to the waist.Her hands reached over to touch the back of his head as she lay on top of him, so their bodies clung closer together.He grabbed her wrist, and his hoarse voice rang in her ears. "Would you care about me if I said it hurt?"Her body stiffened slightly, and she noticed how close they were. Her lips barely touched his cheek as soon as she lowered her head.She stared at him. "If it hurts, you should contact the outside world immediately and go to the hospital for a check-up instead of enduring it when you have a fever. Yi Jinli, you only live once!"He suddenly smiled. "You can't bear to let me die, can you?"His face that was flushing because of his fever looked so stunning with his smile,
"I was curious and took a few more pills once. As a result, I slept for three days and got my stomach pumped in the hospital. It was only then that they found out that the servant had changed the pills," he said, looking up at her with intense self-mockery in his eyes."You know what? That servant was the nicest person to me when I first got to the Yi family. She showed great concern for me. Every day, she would smile gently as she watched me take the ‘vitamin’ pills she had switched out." Anger welled up in Ling Yiran's heart. "How could someone do this to a child just to make life easier and go on a date? Didn’t she think about the consequences of a child taking too many sleeping pills?"In severe cases, it could even lead to mental distress in kids.Yi Jinli smiled lightly. "There are many people like that in the world. They can easily sacrifice others for small profits.""What happened afterward? What happened to the servant?" asked Ling Yiran."The Yi family fired her," he
'Why would he take the medicine I gave him? Is it because of trust?'If he trusts me, why could he trust the me who gave him medicine but not my feelings? If he had given me a little more trust, maybe we wouldn't have broken up at all.'Now, this trust seemed ironic.Even when he was asleep now, his brows were furrowed and a thin layer of sweat had broken out on his forehead.As such, Ling Yiran fetched a towel from the bathroom and gently wiped the sweat off his forehead."Mom... Mom..." he cried out in a stammer. His voice was so low it was almost a whisper. She had to be very close to hear what he was saying. 'Is he... dreaming? Is he dreaming of his mother?' Ling Yiran thought to herself.She remembered hearing him say that his mother had left him and her husband when he was young because she could not bear to live in poverty.All these years, his mother never showed up in front of him again.She remembered there was a wound on his chest that had nearly killed him, though
The room was quiet now. There was no one else in the room except him.'Is she... not around?' He lowered his eyes gently and stared at his empty hands.Even if he had forced her to stay in the mansion, she still would not stay with him. Just like his father and mother. Though he had desperately begged them to stay, they still left him in their own way.'Am I going to be all alone after all?'Alone, just like before... Why should I care? Wasn’t I alone before I met her?'The only person I can rely on is myself!'However, even if he thought so, there was still a pain spreading throughout his body as if there were dense needles pricking him.Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open and a figure walked in.Yi Jinli stared blankly at the approaching figure with a touch of surprise in his eyes."Huh? You're awake. I’ve just made some porridge. I meant to give it to you when you woke up later." Ling Yiran put the porridge on the bedside table beside him as she spoke. Naturally, s
"I... seem to have no energy," he said, wanting to catch the bowl again.She looked at his current state and simply said, "Forget it. Let me feed you in case you have no energy and knock the bowl over."She sat down on a chair by the bed as she spoke and scooped up some porridge with the spoon. She gently blew on it and held it to his lips.He opened his mouth obediently and ate the porridge she fed him.He was as docile as a puppy, eating porridge mouthful after mouthful, but his eyes had been staring at her intensely.That look of attachment made her a little uncomfortable."Did that woman... you talked about last time kill someone in Splashes of Blood?" She tried to make conversation and break the silence."Yes, it's true," said Yi Jinli."She killed someone from the Yi family, didn't she? Did the Yi family just let her go?" she asked in confusion. The Yi family was also rich and powerful more than 70 years ago.Yi Jinli said, "Because the man she killed wanted to let her g
He seemed to sense what she was thinking, and his thin lips parted lightly. "Don't worry. I won't let the old man have the chance to hurt you."She gently lowered her eyes and got up to put the empty bowl aside. "Rest well. I'll go back to my room first."However, before she could turn around, his hand had already grabbed her sleeve. He looked at her with his chin slightly up, and there was a glint in his bright eyes.She asked, "Yi Jinli, what are you doing?""You feel something for me, don't you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t watch over me, make me take my medicine, make porridge for me..." His hoarse voice escaped his mouth little by little. His expression was one of supplication and longing. "Ling Yiran, fall in love with me, alright? I never knew I could love a woman so deeply!"He was the high and mighty Young Master Yi to others, but he was willing to swallow all his pride just to ask her to love him!Her mind seemed to go blank for an instant....Gu Lichen tried to track Lin
Gu Lichen answered the phone. After listening for a moment, his expression changed. "What did you say? Uncle Su is missing?""Yes. You know as well that he always asks patients to come to the clinic for treatments. He called me out of the blue today and said that he's going out to see a patient. It might take a long time, so he didn’t want me to worry. However, I can't get through to him when I call him!" Dr. Su's wife talked to Gu Lichen anxiously on the other end of the line.Dr. Su and Gu Lichen were very close and they saw each other a lot, so the Su family had Gu Lichen's contact information."See a patient?" Gu Lichen narrowed his phoenix eyes."Lichen, do you think Uncle Su was kidnapped because he offended someone?" Mrs. Su thought pessimistically.However, Gu Lichen thought the other way around.If Ling Yiran had not been taken away by Yi Jinli, today would have been when she needed to undergo the second treatment for her fingers!'Is it possible? Could it be Yi Jinli w
"Sorry, Dr. Su. I didn't expect... him to bring you here either," Ling Yiran said awkwardly.However, Dr. Su did not ask any more questions. After all, at his age, he naturally knew that there were some questions he should not ask.Therefore, he just spread out the tools he had brought with him and asked Ling Yiran to hold out her right hand.The various needle knives reminded Ling Yiran of the pain she felt the last time she had the treatment, and it made her tremble.Just when Dr. Su was about to insert a needle knife into the back of Ling Yiran's hand, Yi Jinli immediately grabbed Dr. Su's wrist. "What is this for?""Treatment, what else is there?" grumbled Dr. Su. He hated being interrupted like that during his sessions."If you're using needle knives for the treatment, why not anesthetize her first?" asked Yi Jinli as he frowned."If I anesthetize her, I can't get a clear reaction from her fingers. I need her most natural reaction for the treatment!" said Dr. Su.Yi Jinli
