Chapter 201 - Fool for Love (1/2)

Liam tenderly and gently held Ying Sheng's wounded hand. She winced the moment he washed her hand clean, making Liam look at her for a brief moment then back at the wound he was treating.

Ying Sheng watched him as he carefully wiped her wounded hand clean. He then got the bandage at the side and had wrapped it around her hand, Ying Sheng finding his gentleness calming and comfortable--like hitting home.

While Ying Sheng was watching him, she thought to herself how blessed she was of being with a man who treated her like a queen when she had seen herself as a perfect mess. She felt that Liam saw her as a fallen angel, a blessing from the heavens, a lonely star that was twinkling in an exploded galaxy.

She knew that the man who unconditionally loved her was right in front of her.

Yet her heart was with someone else.

”There. Done.”

Ying Sheng snapped out of her stupor. A small smile crept on her face as Liam stood up, Ying Sheng looking up at him as she sat on her chair.

”Thank you.”

”Mm.” Wanting to lighten up Ying Sheng's mood, Liam smiled at her sweetly then spoke, his voice etched with concern and sweetness. ”Do you want to go out and eat? I'll treat you something to eat,” he suggested, Ying Sheng, nodding once as her answer.

”Okay.”

Liam gently pulled her by the wrist to make her stand up. Her eyes met his as he spoke again, ”Then go and have a shower. I'll wait for you.”

With that, Ying Sheng headed to the shower to prepare herself as Liam patiently waited for her.

After Ying Sheng was done with the shower, she quickly dressed and stared at herself in the mirror. Her face was ghostly pale. She looked pretty dead on the outside and on the inside.

She didn`t know what Liam saw in her to have fallen in love with her. She was a disgusting mess.

Liam sighed as he got a glass of water and drank it, a sad smile soon appearing on his face. Seeing the woman he loves in such a dilemma gnawed his heart little by little like a rat nibbling on his cheese, but this slowly hurt him. Right here and then, the man vowed to himself that even though he knew that the woman he loves has someone else in her heart, he would do his best to love her.

People may call him an idiotic man--a martyr who foolishly loves a woman, but he didn't care.

As long as he would make her happy with all that he is, and as long as she would still want him, he would always be there.

Heck, even if Ying Sheng might not want him back, he would force himself back so he could still protect her.

He wanted her to be happy and help her achieve her dreams. He had no idea how he was going to do that but he would do his best
