Chapter 21: People Who Love Me Will Come To No Good End (1/2)

She opened her eyes and stared at the darkness before her with an unfocused look on her face. What had happened these days showed constantly in her mind.

Xu Zijin had always felt like a walking corpse and running flesh, quietly waiting for death. But just now when she had stayed in the ward alone, she had been seized with uncontrollable panic and a strong survival instinct had surged up within her.

'So, in fact I don't want to die. But why do I still want to live after suffering so much?' she thought to herself.

”Can't you sleep?” the harsh voice rang in her ears again.

”Hmm,” Xu Zijin replied. It was the first time she had answered him. In the past, he had always run a one-man show because she had ignored him completely.

Fu Chen brushed aside her hair with his fingers and pinned it behind her ears. ”Don't be afraid. I'll be there for you. I promise you I will not put you in danger anymore.”

Xu Zijin was on the verge of tears. She had looked forward to hearing such gentle words from Fu Sinian, the man she had loved deeply for many years. But he never showed her any tenderness. Now she heard those gentle words from Fu Chen who was a complete stranger to her.

Truth to tell, she only wanted a house that could shelter her from wind and rain and a man who deeply loved her. With those, she could build a warm and happy family.

She had thought that Fu Sinian was the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with, but the reality gave her a hard slap.

After a long silence, Xu Zijin said, ”Fu Chen, you are not an ordinary male nurse, right?”

She thought that Fu Chen would deny it, but he readily admitted it.

”Zijin, I knew you a long time ago, but you didn't know my existence before.” He paused for a second and continued, ”Zijin, I love you. I have loved you with an everlasting love...” He had once thought that he would never have a chance to express his love to her. Fortunately, the moment he had been waiting for so long had arrived.

There was a convincing show of affection in his soft words. The softest place in her heart was touched. She was not a fool and could understand why he always treated her like a fragile treasure.

She had loved a man who didn't love her, and had done everything she could to please him.

When a woman lost her heart to a man, she would worry about him at any time. Wherever she went, she was afraid that he would catch a cold or go hungry. When he was unhappy, her heart ached for him. She wanted to stay with him all the time and was willing to do everything to make him happy.

Now Fu Chen was making clumsy overtures of affection towards her, just like what she had done to Fu Sinian before.
