Chapter 272 - Biased Again (1/2)

Splashing the cold water on her face, Xu Mey blinked her eyes and shook her head. She was getting a splitting headache. She tried to rub her temples but to no avail.

She joined some Japenese business partners for a drink in the nightclub and now, she was regretting her decision. She had a pretty good alcohol tolerance but today she drank way too much.

Holding the wall, she tried to find her way back to the parking in a dizzy state of mind. She was trying to find her keys but it wasn't proving to be easy for her. In frustration, she kicked the front of her car and losing her footing, she staggered back.

Taking a deep breath, she finally managed to find the key and settled behind the steering wheel. Without further ado, she backed out of the space but she crashed into an oncoming car in the traffic lane. Because of the sudden jerk, her head banged against the steering wheel.

Her ears rang for a while until she heard someone tapping on her window pane. Xu Mey opened the door but lost her consciousness before she could get out.

"It's a minor concussion. She needs to rest for a while." Xu Mey heard an unfamiliar voice as her mind came back from the dreamland. She felt the soft bed underneath her body and opened her eyes to find herself in a hospital bed.

"Thank you, doctor!" Xu Mey heard another male voice but this one was a lot familiar as if she heard it somewhere but her mind couldn't pinpoint where had she heard it. With a groggy mind, she tried to focus and saw a young man coming to her side. "Are you awake? Is it hurting somewhere?" Xu Mey tried hard to squint her eyes and looked back at the familiar face. She tried to speak but her throat was stinging and no sound came out.

Seeing her discomfort, the young man helped her in drinking some water. As the coolness soothed her throat, Xu Mey spoke up, "Kaden, what are you doing here?"

Xin Xiamu smiled at her relating the story of how in his heartbroken state he decided to hit a club but who knew before he hit the club, Xu Mey would hit into his car in the parking lot? He was scared out of his wits when he saw her fainting. He rushed her to the hospital and found out that it was a minor shock and nothing else.

Xu Mey scratched her head sheepishly and said, "Sorry! I overestimated myself after all that drinking. Are you hurt anywhere?" She was really guilty and seeing her guilt, Xin Xiamu decided to ease her up.

"Nope! I'm absolutely fine." He smiled radiantly making Xu Mey heave a sigh of relief. "Should I inform someone? Like your family?"

Xu Mey's eyes widened as she just realized that she had been in an accident and that too because she was drunk. If anyone and like anyone got to know, she'll be banned to even touch a car for the rest of her life. She already couldn't ride her bike because of the last accident and this one will even snatch her right to drive a car. No way! She can't afford that!

"Stop! There is no need to inform anyone." Xin Xiamu looked at her panicked state strangely and Xu Mey calmed herself a bit saying, "I mean, it's not like I got hurt or anything. I'm fine! Let's just look over this incident."

Thinking for a minute, Xin Xiamu decided not to push her and sat down beside her bed. "I'll just stay here with you then."

Xu Mey wanted him to leave since she wasn't his responsibility but he insisted and stuck around her. Looking around in the room, Xu Mey noticed Xin Xiamu's swollen and bloodshot eyes as if he had been crying. She knitted her brows in confusion.

"Kaden, what were you doing at the nightclub?" Xu Mey asked looking at his face directly.
