She did not know that this was truly only the beginning.

Chu Lui sat aside in the hospital, covered in Li Manni’s blood. His cold and lonely eyes stared at the light which was lit up. It had been an hour since she went in. Would she really be fine?

He looked calm now. However, one could tell from his tightly fisted hand that he was, in fact, at the limit of his stress level.

The light to the operating room turned off, and the doctor emerged.

Chu Lui stood up in a hurry. The doctor wiped the sweat off of his face. “Don’t worry. The patient is fine. Her injuries may be severe, but luckily, there were no damages to her internal organs. Her left wrist had some fractures. With proper rest, she will make a speedy recovery.”

Chu Lui nodded numbly. Like someone who has had all his energy sucked away, he sat helplessly at the waiting area once more, thanking the Almighty that she was alive, not dead. He had not lost her.

He ran his fingers through his hair hard. He seemed gloomy as his chest rose up and down constantly. God knew what kind of stress he was going through right now.

Li Manni’s forehead was covered in a row of bandages inside a premium VIP ward. She remained unconscious. Chu Lui had notified her parents. When they arrived, her mother was crying; her father sighed frequently at the sight of him. There was undeniable blame in his eyes.

They could not believe their lovely and obedient daughter had become a third party in someone else’s relationship. It had almost caused her her life.

Mr. Li kept sighing at his unconscious daughter, head shaking constantly. What else could they do? Who could they blame? Their daughter was already in such a condition.

The quiet ward was filled with smells of lightly scented lavender; the antiseptic smell was not overwhelming. Chu Lui caressed Li Manni’s slightly cool cheek with his fingers. At this point, there was an unbearable discomfort inside him.

It was his fault that she was so badly hurt.

He should have gotten rid of that woman sooner. At the thought of Xia Ruoxin, a look of terrifying cruelty slowly blazed in his eyes. He had already treated her callously. Now, he would sever all ties with her.

“Mmm…” Li Manni moaned softly. She felt pain in every part of her body, even her head hurt constantly.

She opened her dry eyes with some effort. The white ceiling fell within her sight. As she turned her head, she met the eyes of Chu Lui.

“Lui.” Her lips were so dry that the words sounded different from her usual voice.

“It’s alright. Everything is fine.” Chu Lui put his hand gently on her face; she could clearly feel the warmth from his fingers.

“Lui, what happened to me?” Her lips parted strenuously, and she could not move her body. Still confused, she clearly remembered that she was walking along the road. Why was she suddenly in a hospital?

“You had an accident. Have you forgotten? That woman had wanted to kill you. Don’t worry, I will not forget this vendetta and let her off easily.” Chu Lui’s fingers remained on her cheek as he spat the last part of the sentence. His voice was thick with a tone of unresolved hatred.

Li Manni remembered she had met the reporter followed by a car. Then, she grabbed onto Xia Ruoxin’s hand.

It was an accident, but why would he think Xia Ruoxin was responsible for what happened? It was obvious that she was the one who should be responsible. However, she kept her mouth shut till the end, without trying to clarify things.
