104 You Still Want Her Back? (1/2)

A roomful of people stayed the night over except for Gu Beicheng and Sun Weiwei.

In the wee hours, Sun Weiwei had just stepped into the ward when Ye Xiaotian woke up.

”Son, you're awake?” Mrs. Ye asked gently, tears brimming in her eyes.

”Umm… did you not sleep… the whole night? Get everyone to go back to rest, I'm fine,” he managed to say while bearing the pain. His face did not look very good, and even speaking required an overwhelming effort for someone like him who had been stabbed multiple times.

”Alright. Tell the doctor if you are in any discomfort, okay?”

He nodded.

Since he had woken up, the whole of the Ye family could finally rest assured. Having not slept for one night, they all went back to rest. But no matter how they persuaded Bai Ranran to go back, she refused to leave.

”Ranran, be good. Go back to rest.”

”Let me stay with you for a while more, you just woke up.” Bai Ranran held onto his hand and refused to let go of it. ”Xiaotian, why did you refuse to make a police report?”

”The police wouldn't be able to catch them anyway. Moreover, they have some powerful backing. It's useless.” Actually, the real reason was that if the police were to intervene, they would be able to trace it to Byron. Once this happens, the news would play this up into a hot topic for discussion.

When Gu Beicheng entered the ward, there were only a few people in sight.

”All of you can go back, just let him stay here,” Ye Xiaotian instructed them.

Bai Ranran was really too sleepy as well, so she stood up and gave up her seat to Gu Beicheng.

”Why do you look so serious?” Although Ye Xiaotian was already in a bad state, his expression still exuded a unique aura which was indelible.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, Gu Beicheng took one look at the way the IV drip was hung and locked the door of the ward from inside. He then went back to his bedside.

”This was really done by Byron?”

”Umm…” As the effects of the anesthetic had worn off, he then started to groan in pain. ”Just now, when they were around, I didn't feel comfortable to show the pain. But it really hurts so bad, my gosh. The pain is really killing me.”

Gu Beicheng rolled his eyes at him. ”Serves you right if you die from the pain. What did you go to Y Nation for? Mo Li is already married, why can't you just let her go?”

”But, Beicheng…” He took a deep breath. ”I feel that without her around, it's so hard to bear. Do you know this feeling?”

Gu Beicheng already knew that Mo Li was of significant importance to him, although he always denied it on the surface.

”You still want her back?”

Ye Xiaotian looked down in despair. ”I've already said, as long as she divorces Byron and comes back to me, I'll treat her well.”

”Who'll believe that?” Gu Beicheng shook his head. ”Sorry, but even I don't believe that.”

”Are you not my good buddy?”

”Because I'm your good buddy, I'll tell you nothing but the truth! You've always treated her as your source of blood supply and gave her the cold treatment. For the littlest of things, you'll flare up at her. It'd be weirder if she actually still believes you. She's probably more than eager to hate you.”

Ye Xiaotian did not utter a single word. The painful expression on his face had changed. He looked beyond upset.

Seeing him in this state, Gu Beicheng felt sorry for him too. But he had no choice. This pain was something no one else could suffer for him. He had to go through it himself.
