1565 You Have to Experience Certain Things Part Eigh (2/2)

Su Yue didn't reply. Instead, she moved her hands from his back to his neck.

The moment her soft hands touched Jiao Chen's skin, he felt as though he was about to explode.

His kisses intensified.

'Jiao, your cranial nerves are being compressed, and they are slowly dying.'

'The success rate of the surgery is less than five percent…'

Jiao Chen halted, and then he raised his head. He gazed at Su Yue with red and glistening eyes.

Su Yue's eyelids fluttered as she gazed back at the man.

Her heart tightened when she saw his face.

Jiao Chen's face was glazed with perspiration, but his face was sickly pale.

”Jiaojiao.” She stretched her hand to wipe off the perspiration on his forehead.

Jiao Chen moved his head to avoid her touch. ”I'll go take a shower. You sleep first.”

He muttered that in his deep voice, but it sounded like it was quivering. He was obviously trying to suppress something deep within him.

He hastily left.

Su Yue blankly stared at Jiao Chen, who soon vanished out of sight.

After he had closed the door, she was soon jolted back to her senses.

She retracted her gaze and slowly raised her head. Her heartbeat gradually went back to normal.

She heaved a sigh of relief… rather unconsciously.

Why?

Su Yue realized that she was relieved when Jiaojiao didn't carry on. But why would she feel relieved?

She recalled how Jiao Chen looked and a pang of pain stabbed her heart.

But why did he always distanced himself from her?

She could feel his love for her—but why?

He was still recuperating for the first two years when they were abroad. But now… why was he still so cold towards her?
