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
The dim, recessed lighting provided the perfect ambiance for the kissing couple.Bo Yan felt as if something had just cracked in his ears.With one hand on Shen Zhiwei's bottom and another at her waist, he withdrew, pulling himself apart from the kiss. In a soft, hoarse voice, he muttered, "What are you doing?"Shen Zhiwei twisted her luscious lips. Silently, she held Bo Yan's head firmly as she swooped up again while her other hand slithered sleekly down the silky folds of his white shirt and began undoing the buttons before coming up to coquettishly circle around his chest."We were once very compatible in bed, weren't we?"Bo Yan took in nothing but her sweet intimate scent.A flame of desire burned in his eyes, and his back arched forward as if a shot of electricity had streaked down his spine; however, he did not completely lose his mind over the unusual behavior of Shen Zhiwei."You should not play with fire, Shen Zhiwei. I'm giving you one last chance. Now, go to bed!""
As her hair was being viciously ripped by Shen Rou, Shen Zhiwei fell, lurching violently and crashing into the ground.Her head was cut by the sharp edge of the coffee table.Blood flowed down her forehead, obscuring her vision..."Shen Zhiwei..."Bo Yan's visage darkened as disgust and rage rose in his eyes. Before Shen Rou could swoop down on Shen Zhiwei and deliver a kick into her abdomen, he grabbed at the former's wrist and yanked her furiously away, roaring into her face, "STOP THIS MADNESS, SHEN ROU!"He would have killed her here and now with his bare hands if not for her saving his life seven years ago!Bo Yan's angry roar left Shen Rou quivering slightly. Her eyes shaking in their sockets uncertainly with disbelief, she whimpered, "You... You scolded me for her? For her?""Blood... My head hurts..." Shen Zhiwei's soft and feeble moans sounded, distracting them before Shen Rou's subdued interrogation could go any further.She held a hand to the bleeding wound on her he
Shen Zhiwei spent several days more recuperating in the hospital.She could not sleep at night, for every time she closed her eyes, she would see her baby son's face and think of how she fell off the cliff holding him in his arms; how he ended in blood and pulp.She kept waking up from nightmares time and again, and she gradually started to hallucinate.She could hear a baby playing somewhere and crying for mommy.She tried to approach that voice...However, she was trapped in a thick fog, her son nowhere to be found.One night later, she jerked awake again, only to find herself in the bathtub instead of the bed. Cold water kept running out of the faucet above her, and soon, she was about to get drowned...Bo Yan happened to see her sink into water as he returned to the ward, and his heart almost jumped into his mouth.The doctor gave her a checkup and hinted that she was suffering from mental illness, which was possibly hysteria. He also advised her to relax in a loving and pe
