Chapter 171 - Guilt of loving someone thats not her. (2/2)

”I am fine. I think it all due to jet lag. My body just feels a little dehydrated”, she said weakly.

Noticing her semi-conscious condition and weakness, Deming quickly supported her up and brought her in the apartment.

Placing her on the sofa in the living hall, he went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water for her. Sensing his eyes not on her, her lips curled up in an evil smirk.

When Deming come to her with the glass, she took it and drank it in one go. ”I will be fine, Brother Ming. I think I should leave now”, she tried to stand up but stumbled back on the sofa.

”It's okay. Wait for a bit. I will ask someone to come and pick you up”, saying this he made a quick call to his men to send a car with driver.

After few minutes his phone buzzed with a text informing the car is downstairs in the parking and the driver is waiting there too.

”Okay, I have called someone. He will take you back to the hotel. You should ho and rest. Let me help you to get to the car”, he said and help her stand up , leading her towards the main door.

She hummed and took is support but suddenly said, ”Can I use the washroom first?”

Deming nodded and took her to the washroom. She went in alone while he waited in the bedroom for her to come out.

After few minutes when she didn't came out, he knocked at the door, ”Jie? Are you fine? Jie? Jie?”.

He called but got no response. He hesitated first but then opened the door only to find her drowned in the bathtub, unconscious.

He quickly went to her and patted her cheeks to wake her up. She didn't responded.

She was all wet so he thought of taking her out first. He slipped his arms around her shoulders to pick her up but suddenly her eyes got open and she said dazedly, ”Ahhh! You came for me Brother Ming. You love me right. You care for me then why are you rejecting me for her? How is she better than me? Is she a good kisser?”

She was babbling nonsense but Deming give any regard to her words. He was trying to get her out of the bathtub.

All of a sudden, Jie grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him towards her, pressing her lips on his forcefully.

It was so sudden that Deming wasn't able to dodge it in time. Till the time he realized it was too late as he heard the thud of the vase hitting the ground. And then came her tear filled defeated eyes in his view.
