102 She Didnst Feel Pain Anymore (2/2)

She was like a log.

That was because her heart was in much more pain than her body.

”Okay, just make sure it doesn't come into contact with water. However, it might leave a faint scar, but it doesn't matter. If you don't wish to have plastic surgery, you can cover it by letting your fringe down.”

”Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin lowered her eyes blandly and touched her forehead with her fingers lightly. It would not heal, huh? It's forever there.

”Don't touch it; it'll hurt.” Du Jingtang grabbed her hand hastily.

He cared about her too much, but there was no helping it. She had made his heart skip a beat at first sight after all. However, after realizing her identity, he became even more worried. He fully understood and was very clear about it; all he was doing now had nothing to do with love. It was just pity.

He sympathized with her, and he pitied her.

”Hurt?” Xia Ruoxin asked Du Jingtang strangely. ”You said it hurts, but why can't I feel it?” She pressed again. It truly did not hurt, probably because she was numb from all the pain.

All of a sudden, Du Jingtang felt his eyes prick a little. Who was the one who stole the radiant smile that should have belonged on her face? Who was the one destroyed all the love in this woman? Who was the one who made a woman unable to feel even pain? He had a feeling that this woman's soul was being destroyed. Cousin, you're really heartless, really cruel.

”The pain here will heal. It will just leave a scar, but it can be covered.” Xia Ruoxin said to herself. ”What about here?” She placed her hand above her chest. ”If I'm wounded here, how do I treat it?”

Her questions made Du Jingtang speechless, unsure of how to answer her.

”I'll send you back home.” He hesitated but could only say this one sentence. If he stayed any longer, he really would not know how to face her.

His heart really ached for her.
