128 Selfish (2/2)

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.
