128 Selfish (1/2)

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.
