Bo Yan found a little path that led downhill, and he scrambled quickly down, forgetting his pride and dignity, until he reached the bottom of the cliff.What he saw made him freeze.Shen Zhiwei had never looked so horrifying to him before.There she was, bloody and broken, teetering on the edge of consciousness with a baby tightly nestled to her chest. Her eyes were wide and blank; the pupils swimming uncertainly in the whites like the dying flame of a candle still clinging on to its final bit of wick.Despite the warmth of the sunlight on his head, Bo Yan felt only the frigid coldness of despair."SHEN ZHIWEI! Hang on! You and the baby will be at the hospital in no time..."Bo Yan jerked himself from his brief stupor, breathing and heaving frantically, and he rushed to Shen Zhiwei, carrying her in his arms.He did not dare to speak too loudly.He had never felt so helpless before, and he could not even think—much less know what was spurting out of his mouth.He had never want
A bright and radiant light glared at Bo Yan when he finally woke up.The faint but lingering scent of disinfectant pervaded his nose.Sitting right beside his bead was a distraught Shen Rou whose face was the ghastly color of fear and concern when she finally saw him woke up. She tugged at his arm. "Oh, God! Bo Yan, you're finally up. I was so worried just now when I saw your shirt stained with blood... I... I was so scared... So afraid that you might leave me... Please... Promise me that you will take care of yourself?"She spoke to him in a soft and earnest tone before her eyelids suddenly fluttered.Zhou Jin rushed forward to hold her daughter steady."Are you all right, Rou? She's been worried sick ever since she first heard about you being hospitalized, Bo Yan. Without any regard for her own health, she hurried here as soon as she could. Please, for the love that you have for her, ask her to rest..."Shen Rou leaned into Zhou Jin, resting her head on her mother's shoulder wh
The light in the operation room went out half an hour later.The doctor slowly walked out and took off his mask. His forehead was covered in sweat as he said, "Mr... Mr. Bo...""How is he now?" Bo Yan asked, his eyes clouded with worry and helplessness."We've done all we can, but your son is brain dead. He's too small, and his vessels are too fragile that they were ruptured due to the fall...""Brain dead?"Bo Yan was shocked by the news. This was his first child, so no matter how cold-hearted he was, he actually cared for him.It was just that his hatred of Shen Zhiwei got the better of him back then."How about my wife?"The doctor shivered after feeling his chilling aura. "Mrs. Bo now is suffering from brain damage. We've removed the clot from her brain, but it seems she's lost the will to live, and there is nothing we can do about it unless she regains her will to live..."Bo Yan clenched his fists tightly upon hearing those words.At that time, a nurse wheeling Shen Zhi
Bo Yan barely talked and turned gloomy and aloof during the last month of waiting for Shen Zhiwei to wake up. Shen Rou tried a hundred ways to tempt him and even stripped herself in front of him, but there was no reaction.Bo Yan even brushed her off with the excuse that they should behave themselves since they were in a hospital.She almost couldn't restrain herself from asking him why he refused to touch her or marry her now that Shen Zhiwei had become a vegetable and their son, Xiaobao, had died....The following morning, the rising sun flooded into the room through the window.Bo Yan opened the window. A rainy month had passed, yet there was no sign that Shen Zhiwei would wake up soon. After finding out that he had something urgent to handle in his company, Shen Rou quickly arrived at the hospital.She distracted the doctors and nurses and sneaked into Shen Zhiwei's ward.Shen Zhiwei had no will to live.Nevertheless, the doctors managed to keep her alive...."Shen Zhiw
"Sorry, I was too foolish to think of a better way to help Sister Zhiwei."Shen Rou wiped her tears and observed Bo Yan's reaction from the corner of her eyes.She tried to take his hand as she continued. "She is my own sister, so no matter what she has done to me, I will never hurt her. Please forgive me, will you?"Bo Yan avoided her hand. "Of course, since you were only trying to stir up her will to live. I'll get the doctor to check on her right now, so you may leave."When she heard his words, Shen Rou realized Bo Yan did not fully believe her.She gritted her teeth and kneeled down in front of him."I'm sorry, Bo Yan, I'm so sorry. I said those words to Sister Zhiwei deliberately because I was madly jealous of her. Since the car accident, you've stayed at her side day and night and didn't come back to me even once. You said that I'm your only love and you'll marry me, didn't you? I'm so mad that I didn't think before speaking. I didn't mean what I said; I just wanted you to
Shen Zhiwei felt like she was in an endless dream; she could perceive what was happening around her, feel the change of the temperature, but could not speak!She knew that Shen Rou had put on an act in front of Bo Yan...It turned her stomach.She couldn't let Shen Rou get rid of her so easily!She had to wake up...After leaving the hospital, Bo Yan immediately called his assistant to inquire about the latest news of the kidnappers.He had started investigating the case since Shen Zhiwei was hospitalized, but the following day after that, his assistant told him that the kidnappers mysteriously disappeared from the border region and might have escaped overseas with their money."Wherever they have fled to, find them and have them pay for what they did!" Bo Yan replied.Time may hide some crimes.But if something happened, they must have left tracks.Once the flaw was found and the matter was investigated thoroughly, the covered truth would finally come to light. That night, B
Her hand stopped before it reached him."What if I were to say that those mobsters were hired by Shen Rou? I heard it with my own ears from their own mouths that it was Shen Rou who paid them!"There was doubt somewhere in Bo Yan's mind. Then again, he could not be entirely certain if this was Shen Zhiwei devastated by losing their baby, so he just patted her back gently,"Just you wait. I'll get to the bottom of this. I promise...""You don't trust me, do you?" Shen Zhiwei's bloodshot eyes held him in a cold, hardened, vice-like grip"You've only just woken up." Bo Yan consoled, only too happy to change the subject to prevent making things worse for her. "You need to rest. That's most important now...""Humph, so this is what you've become, Bo Yan?! You choose to defend the murderer who killed your own son! What is Shen Rou to you? Is she really so valuable that you'd gladly become so blind for her?"Shen Zhiwei lunged and bit down, her teeth piercing the flesh of Bo Yan's shou
Bo Yan went to meet the ruffians, and after that, he went back to his mansion.Knowing that his father and mother would be returning soon, he left some instructions to the servants to have their room cleaned and tidied.On the other hand, Shen Rou had been on edge ever since she heard that Shen Zhiwei had regained consciousness. She never expected that a person who had been so close to death could still wake up!She quickly contacted Zhou Jin.Her mother comforted her by telling her that the mobsters had long left the country, and had no intention of coming back, nor were they demanding for more money. Hearing that, Shen Rou finally relaxed.She only ended the call with her mother when Bo Yan strolled into the sitting area.Hastily taking a deep breath, she drew close to Bo Yan, offering him a warm cup of honeyed water and saying,"You must be tired after your long day of work, Brother Bo Yan. Have some water. Also, don't worry; I've told the servants to clean up your parents' r
