Chapter 84: You Want to Kill Me?

“Qiu!” Jiang Shaocheng’s expression changed, and he rushed over without hesitation.

When Tang Qiu woke up again, it was in an unfamiliar environment. She sat up in fear. The sudden movement sent a jolt of pain through her arm, and she cried out.

“Did you have a nightmare, Qiu?”

Tang Qiu looked up blankly at the familiar voice and saw Jiang Shaocheng sitting in a wheelchair. Emotions flooded her: surprise, joy, anger, and heartbreak.

“What’s wrong, Qiu?” Jiang Shaocheng saw that her eyes were red and his heart ached. He pushed his wheelchair closer to the bed. “Are you in pain?”

“W-Why am I here? Where am I? I left just now. I didn’t mean to come back and bother you…” Tang Qiu explained herself before he could interrogate her further. She truly didn’t have the strength to listen to his cruel words anymore. She had been so dizzy, she couldn’t walk anymore, so she had found a bench to sit on for a while… and ended up fainting.

“We’re at the hospital. Your wound is infected. You have a fever.” Jiang Shaocheng placed his hand on her forehead, which was still a little warmer than usual. He wanted to kiss her forehead, but Tang Qiu flinched back. Regret twisted in his heart for not controlling his emotions earlier.

“Qiu, I’m sorry…”

Tang Qiu looked at him in a daze. “It’s okay. I want to go back home. If you want a divorce when we return, I won’t stop you.”

“I told you, only death can do us part.” Jiang Shaocheng’s tone became heavier. Even in his rage, he had never once thought of getting a divorce.

Tang Qiu looked at him in disbelief. “So you want to kill me? You can’t ignore the law, even if we’re overseas! I was worried about you and wanted to surprise you, that’s all. I can understand if you told me to get lost. And I did–it’s you who brought me back. What right do you have to want me dead?”

Jiang Shaocheng suddenly felt helpless. How could he ever have believed that Tang Qiu would elope with someone else, when even now, all she could think of was him? “I meant that I won’t divorce you. I didn’t get my facts right. I misunderstood you. I was angry, so I spoke without thinking. You…” He stopped himself, seeing that Tang Qiu was enraged enough to pick up the lamp beside her and hurl it at him. He put his arm around her, kissed her lips, and patted her back to comfort her.
