When I woke up, I was already lying on a ware bed My body hurt like it had been run over by a dump truck back and forth a few times

”Awake?” A graceful, masculine voice came from beside my bed

I craned et a clearer look at the speaker However, even the tiniestof pain made tears flow uncontrollably from the corners of my eyes

”Sweetie, don't cry” A pair of gentle large hands wiped away the sparkling tears onot about all the pain in ulfed me, and my body curled up

When Zhao Yi Xuan saw ht eyes dimmed However, he very quickly concealed that darkness His long and powerful hand extended towards my face

I fearfully closedfor another episode of painful torently landed on my forehead

”It seems like there's no fever anymore,” he said tenderly

Fever? Me? I wondered doubtfully Ever since I was little, my body had always been excellent Even when a cold broke out, et sick It was just ot a fever

Apparently seeing the distrust in my eyes, he took the initiative to explain: ”You've had a fever for three days You've been unconscious these past few days, and the doctor caive you an intravenous drip”

Three days? I've been asleep for three days?

”What's today's date?” It took a great deal of effort to croak with a low and ugly voice using my throat

”Don't speak Your throat is injured, and the doctor said it would be better if you didn't speak for the next few days” He sat down on the edge of the bed and gently pulled up the sheets for me ”Today is December 29th”

His proxireat difficulty, trying to move to the other side of the bed However,a force that wouldn't hurt ripped rabbed me that I realized that I was completely naked

”Don't move The doctor said that it looks like you have soft tissue contusion [1], so it's best if you don't move”

I lowered htened into fists

”Don't be afraid of htly hurt voice sounded beside my ears

The pain and regret in his voicemy head to look at him It was only then that I noticed that he looked rather miserable and exhausted His deep, jet-black eyes were bloodshot, and his neat hair was now in a dishevelled state The buttons on his white shi+rt were in complete disarray, and the front was stained with several black and yellow splotches From his sorry state, I could not help but assu care of me for the past three days

Although I was slightly touched by this presumed behavior, I was still absolutely terrified of him I had already received more than I could possibly want of his capricious nature and treacherous smiles I was afraid that his present tenderness was secretly hiding double the cruelty behind it

”I didn't oing to run away fro yourself” There was deep re we've thirsted for you, and how deeply we've been in love with you We love you soyou Why can't you love us? If you're willing to love us, we're willing to do anything”

The profound pain and deep eot about all the cruel things that he did to reat deal of effort to lift my arms as I endured the pain I eainst the side of h there was no way I could accept his feelings, I still did not want to hurt him
