Chapter 112 - Hospital Is Getting Hotter (1/2)
-First Emperor Hospital-
"Does it really not matter who I am?" Ye Jie asked all of a sudden.
It's been almost an hour since Xu Mey and Ye Jie came to the hospital. After he revealed everything, they had been silently accompanying each other.
"Yes... It really doesn't matter." Xu Mey pinched Ye Jie's chin and turned his face towards herself. As her black clear eyes looked into his charming brown ones, she added, "Because I know that just as My Jie, you'll still be the most competent person. I didn't only marry you because of you being a Ye, I accepted you because you accepted me even after knowing my reason for this marriage."
Ye Jie's lips hooked upwards slightly as he listened to her soft but very clear voice. He just stared into her eyes losing himself again in their depth. Xu Mey frowned as a thought came to her mind. "What about her family? Her cell phone must have their contacts, right?"
Ye Jie sighed. "I told you that I'm not ready to deal with that baggage until Azalea wakes up herself. I've been sending them texts, pretending to be her. I don't think I have the courage to tell her parents that their precious daughter might never wake up again because of me." Ye Jie felt a bit queasy talking about this topic and Xu Mey noticed it with her discerning senses.
"If you want, I can ask Shen-Ge to look into her case?" She suggested trying to ease his burden. He must have been extremely tired from keeping everything inside himself for such a long time. And the guilt must have been enhancing with each passing day. "More the experts, more her chances for recovery." Ye Jie looked at her with gratitude in his eyes and nodded, giving her the consent.
Ye Jie abruptly stood up and said, "You must be tired, let's go back." He stretched his hand towards Xu Mey and she took it without hesitation.
"Are we going back home? It will be a long drive and you're already tired." Xu Mey said as they were passing through the empty corridor.
"Don't worry... We're not going back home..." Xu Mey was puzzled. "My friend's apartment is close by. We'll stay there for the night."
"Ohhh!" Xu Mey dragged the words unnecessarily and in this process, she didn't see the bench in her way and her foot bumped into it making her wince loudly. She took a sharp intake of breath and closed her eyes as the impact made her already stitched ankle hurt even more.
This simple action was not concealed from Ye Jie. A crease appeared between his brows as he knelt down in front of her and made her place her one hand on his shoulder for support while he picked her right foot off the ground and placed it on his knee. Xu Mey tried to retract her foot but Ye Jie's grip was like iron claws. Steadfast...
Ye Jie held the hem of her bell-bottom jeans and lifted it up a bit. As his eyes fell on the rectangular bandage on her ankle, he closed his eyes briefly and sighed. He raised his head to look at her face. Xu Mey was avoiding his eyes trying to hide her guilty look. "How did this happen?" His jaw was clenched it took a lot of effort to say the words.
Xu Mey pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly while scratching the back of her head like an idiot. "I... Erm... I fell. Yes yes, I fell." She replied.
"You're not as good at lying as you think," he said through gritted teeth. "Let's leave how you get injured. But when did it happen? Can you say that?" He carefully placed her foot back on the ground and asked.
