Chapter 339 - Accusations (1/2)

Even though Jie refused to take her help, Ru considerately wheeled him to Xu Mey's room but didn't step inside. Instead, she gave him two thumbs up and whispered, "Best of luck, JieJie! I hope she grills you before forgiving you."

Jie stared at her disbelievingly and asked, "Are you sure you're my Ru'er? How can you take her side?"

Patting his shoulder, Ru very conveniently added, "This young master is not taking sides. You both are wrong and I don't side with the people who only consider their own feelings. If she was wrong in her decision, the way you reacted was also not very admirable." Saying that she turned to leave.

"Are you leaving already?" Jie's voice made her turn her face towards him.

"Nope! Just going out to smoke. You see, smoking is not allowed inside the hospital. And I am a law-abiding person." With that, she left him while he shook his head at her.

Jie wheeled inside the room not knowing what was brewing outside behind him.

It was almost noon, but the Xu Mey's room looked like it was enshrouded in darkness. She was sitting on the bed with her head buried in her knees.

Feeling someone's presence, Xu Mey lifted her face and was stunned to see Jie's brown eyes looking back at her. She wasn't crying much to Jie's relief. But she seemed different.

The tension and silence got thicker with each passing second. It was so thick that Xu Mey wanted to cut it with a knife. And she did! Not literally though.

"Go away! I don't wanna see you!" Xu Mey shouted aggressively but there was a bit of vulnerability in her eyes. Silently pleading him not to go.

"Why?" Jie asked in a very calm manner.

Xu Mey's lower lip quivered as she fought to get the words out, "You're a liar!"

"Liar? Me? When did I lie to you?" Jie questioned.

Xu Mey shot him a glare and shouted, "You lied! You said you'd never forget me. You said you'd stay my side. You said you'd only love me!" Her response was filled with bile and accusation. Slowly, her tear ducts again opened and tears fell down. Her voice turned softer as she kept mumbling, "You don't remember me! You don't remember our baby! You don't remember anything. Liar! Liar!"

With a lot of effort, Jie managed to stand up from the wheelchair on one foot and hobbled his way to her bed. He sat down right in front of her and held her shaking shoulders. Pinching her chin between his thumb and index finger, he lifted her face and tried to wipe her tears but she slapped his hand away.
