Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The rain was still pouring down, affecting everyone’s mood.
After Qin Zhen got out of the car, she went straight to He Guinian’s ward. As she got closer to his room, her footsteps became heavier and heavier. She didn’t dare to take another step forward. She did not have the courage… to see him…
Outside He Guinian’s ward stood a row of bodyguards. The two in the middle were He Guinian’s confidants, He Yi and He Er, the twin bodyguards.
As Qin Zhen slowly walked over, He Yi and He Er noticed her.
“That b*tch actually has the face to come?” He Er cursed in a low voice.
“Don’t bother with her,” He Yi, who had always been good-tempered, only frowned. He could not hide the disgust in his eyes toward Qin Zhen. How much had their Young Master suffered because of her? He had endured it, but now? The doctor said that the young master’s leg might not be cured!
He would never be able to stand up again in this lifetime! They really did not know what the Young Master liked about her. She was stupid, unruly, and vicious. Why didn’t such a woman die? Since she despised the Young Master’s illness, why did she agree to the engagement? Moreover, the Young Master would rather hurt himself than hurt a single strand of her hair. But how did that woman repay his kindness? She avoided him like a plague and hurt the Young Master again and again…
Qin Zhen arrived in front of them. Seeing that they were not talking to her, she could start first, “Is He Guinian inside?”
He Er didn’t even deign her with another glance and turned his head away, pretending that he didn’t see anyone. He Yi internally sighed. Why was he the older brother? Why does he have to be the mature one? He cared about his Young Master but still nodded with a tense face.
“I want to see him…” Qin Zhen knew that she had done too many wrong things before, so she didn’t even have the confidence to speak.
“Miss Qin, I’ll be straightforward. The Young Master’s condition is very bad at the moment. If Miss Qin is still human, please don’t go in and provoke him.”
Qin Zhen wasn’t trying to provoke him. She was trying to persuade him! He Guinian’s leg could have been cured at first, but he had avoided the treatment for a long time and even refused, which was why he became permanently disabled. However, she now knew that no matter how much she said, they would not let her in. She might as well shout at the top of her lungs.
“He Guinian!”
She shouted again and again until her voice was hoarse. But the door of the ward was still closed.
Qin Zhen had just woken up after being drenched in the rain. She had not recovered from her cold yet. After shouting for more than ten minutes, her face flushed red and she kept coughing.
“Miss Qin, you should return home.” He Yi didn’t feel a single drop of sympathy for her. He felt sorry for the Young Master. Based on his understanding of the young master, he probably felt terrible. At that time, he would have to take medicine to control it.
Qin Zhen knew that it was useless to continue shouting. She looked at the tightly shut ward unwillingly and turned to leave.
In the ward, He Guinian wearing a hospital gown sat on the bed. His gaze was lowered and his hands were placed on his knees. His entire body was filled with a gloomy aura.
Qin Zhen’s voice outside gradually faded away. He knew that she had left. He wanted to see her, but he did not dare to. He knew his limits. If he died here, Qin Zhen probably wouldn’t even bother to look at him. She would probably even be glad that this lunatic was finally not pestering her anymore…
She must have come to break off the engagement.
He Guinian smiled bitterly, but at this moment, he heard a rustling sound coming from outside the window, accompanied by a young girl’s weak yelp. It sounded like Qin Zhen’s voice.
He Guinian felt that he must have heard wrongly, but he was still worried. He wanted to go and take a look. However, when he straightened his body, he realized that he could not move.
“He Yi,”
He called out and the twins hurriedly entered.
“Go and look out the window.”
He Yi was a little puzzled, but he didn’t say anything and did as requested. Then, his eyes met with the girl… Who was climbing into the hospital’s window.
“Miss Qin?”
Qin Zhen was also shocked when He Yi lifted her down from the windowsill.
He Guinian was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating. His expression was ugly. “In order to break off the engagement with me, you don’t even care about your life?” Anger, worry, disappointment, and all kinds of emotions piled up together in him, making his voice tremble.
“No, no! That’s not why I’m here–” Qin Zhen wanted to explain.
He Guinian didn’t want to hear it, “He Yi, send Miss Qin home.”
Before the He twins could drag her away, Qin Zhen threw herself in front of He Guinian, “He Guinian! I’m here to see you! I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have pushed you down the stairs. I’m sorry…” The more she spoke, the guiltier she felt and the softer her voice became.
“Did you come here just to apologize?” He Guinian’s expression lost its frown.
She came over to persuade him to heal his legs as soon as possible! “There is one more thing…”
As expected. Or was it because she wanted to break off the engagement? Guinian’s heart had completely turned cold. The veins on his hands under the blanket bulged because he was clenching them tightly.
