Chapter 191 - Scars (1/2)

Ying Sheng felt herself surrounded in complete darkness. Was she dead? But wasn't death supposed to be numb? Why does it feel like someone was hitting her head with a hammer?

Ying Sheng groaned and opened her eyes. She sighed in disappointment when she realized she was alive.

She saw the white ceiling and the heart monitor when she glanced at her right. The beeping sound made her everything feel real for her.

She didn't die.

Someone had save her but who?

Ying Sheng felt numb as she glanced at her hands wrapped in bandages. She felt absolutely nothing. Like an empty shell, she felt no physical pain from the cut.

Just her head throbbing. She felt a gaze on her. Looking at the entrance she saw someone starting at her with an unknown emotion in his eyes.

Ying Sheng breath hitched and a lump formed in her throat.

Lei Zhao.

Was he disappointed in her? Will he think she is weak?

He looked at her flatly without emotion on his face. He said nothing just staring at her as if he was trying to see through her.

After what seem like forever Lei Zhao finally spoke.

”How are you?” He asked as he smiled softly at her.

Ying Sheng avoided Lei Zhao's gaze and ignored

his question.

”Who saved me?” Ying Sheng asked Lei Zhao.

”Liam.” Lei Zhao replied softly.

”Oh….” Ying Sheng trailed off.

Why did he save her?

He should have let her die.

Why...why…..she was so close to finally leave this cruel world.

Why the f.u.c.k did he save her?!

”Ying Sheng….what are you thinking?”

Lei Zhao asked with concern laced in his tone.

”Why, he didn't let me die.”

Ying Sheng breathed out.

Lei Zhao heaved a sigh and strolled towards her.

He grabbed her hand and caressed it softly.

”Hey, don't say that. Liam went through a lot to bring you here. You should have seen the poor boy. How shaken he was.”

Ying Sheng looked at Lei Zhao.

”W-what? Is he okay?”

Lei Zhao shook his head, ”I don't know….he never let your side since your coma. I just sent him away to go freshen up.”

Ying Sheng looked at the ceiling, ”Do you think he would be disappointed with me? Would he think I'm weak?”

Lei Zhao smiled and shook his head.

”No, no one would think you're weak. Especially Liam. I can see how much he believes in you. You're lucky to have him as a friend.”

Ying Sheng nodded, ”Yes, I am. He is truly a good friend.”

Lei Zhao finally conclude that Ying Sheng wasn't aware of the young man's feelings. It seems Liam was suffering from unrequited love.

He hopes one day Ying Sheng would like the guy if anyone deserved his cousin it was Liam.

But it was too early for that. First, they had to help Ying Sheng first.
