103 Lets Bathe Together (2/2)

”Hearing your voice, you've not gone to bed yet?” Byron's voice on the other end was low and deep.

”You're not back, so I can't seem to sleep.” Mo Li asked, ”When will you return?”

”Tomorrow.” His tone was exceptionally gentle. ”Be good. When you wake up in the morning, I'll be at home.”

”Mmm, okay. Goodnight.”

”Goodnight.”

She ended the call and laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling, tears flowing down her cheeks as she laughed.

She really could not bear to hurt a man who was truly good to her.

After all, she was the source of all these mistakes. She was the cause of everything; he had nothing to do with it.

”Knock, knock, knock. Sis, are you asleep?” From outside the door came her brother's voice.

”Not yet.” She got off the bed to open the door. Mo Xun was standing at the doorway and passed his phone for her to see. ”Sis, look at this.”

Mo Li took it. It was a web page of a news report. The title read: ”Ye Xiaotian assassinated, life and death uncertain.”

The corner of her lips curled into a smile as she passed the phone back to him. ”How great,” she remarked.

Mo Xun said lightly, ”Sis, you still have me and our parents, as well as Brother Tianze. All of us wish for you to be well and happy. Go to sleep now. I'll leave.”

”Okay.”

After closing the door, Mo Li leaned back against it. There was a voice in her heart saying to her: ”Hopefully, he's dead. Please die, die, die…”

Ye Xiaotian was assassinated not long after he returned to the country.

This incident caused a huge commotion; even the international media continued to spread news about it.

According to the media, Ye Xiaotian was stabbed by the assassin, and there was more than one of them.

What made people very curious was who was behind this incident. Compared to that, what people were even more curious to find out was why Ye Xiaotian had told the maids around him not to call the police before he went into a coma.

Almost the whole of the Ye family set out to the hospital, and there were media reporters waiting on the roads, awaiting the latest news.

Bai Ranran and Sun Weiwei had rushed to the hospital upon hearing the news as well.

At the hospital corridor, there were a whole bunch of people crowding.

Mr. and Mrs. Ye, who were Ye Xiaotian's direct family, took the greatest blow. They could only pray inside for Ye Xiaotian to make it through this hurdle.

Gu Beicheng had also rushed over in a hurry. He knew Ye Xiaotian had gone to Y Nation and that it had something to do with Mo Li. Not long after his return, he was attacked.

It was definitely under Byron's orders.

It was the clearest fact of this matter. He wondered if he had done something to Mo Li for Byron to get people to kill him.

The operation went on for a very long time.

With the full cooperation of the doctors, Ye Xiaotian was saved from the brink of death.

It was clear how professional the hired killer was, to be able to get past his men and attack him. Such skills were indeed formidable.

As the doctors and nurses wheeled him out, everyone around shouted agitatedly, ”Xiaotian!”

Mrs. Ye even burst out into tears uncontrollably.

Ye Xiaotian was wheeled into the VIP ward directly. Other than his closest family members, outsiders were not allowed.

Gu Beicheng inquired about his condition from the doctor and heard that Ye Xiaotian was stabbed in his vital organs. Luckily, Ye Xiaotian was wearing a special bulletproof clothing, which helped him to escape death. If he had not worn it, he would have died on the spot.

Bai Ranran's eyes were all swollen and red. At the side of his hospital bed, she held onto Ye Xiaotian's hand tightly.

Sun Weiwei was extremely upset too. But she could only watch from a corner and could not do anything at all.
