After Ming Liuyi heard Xiao Fan’s words, she nodded and ordered the housekeepers to prepare dinner for Yao Zizhou and his father. She quickly went back to her room to take a shower. After all, the smell on her was just too bad.
And after all that had happened, Ming Liuyi needed time to sort everything out.
Firstly, when she had slept separately from Yao Zizhou, the spiritual spring had dried up so quickly that even she herself could not stand it.
After being near Yao Zizhou for a while, Ming Liuyi found that the spiritual spring was gradually getting better, and Yao Zizhou had also woken up from it. Ming Liuyi guessed that the spiritual spring might dry up again after leaving Yao Zizhou, so she could try it tonight.
Secondly, she had to leave the Yao family, or else she might lose her life. She originally planned to study abroad, but she was still deciding on which school and country to do that in. With the fast-changing events, her plans were far from ready, and Yao Zizhou was already waking up.
Ming Liuyi could only move out of the Yao family for the time being. Fortunately, the money in her card was enough to feed her for the rest of her life. However, she needed to reconsider going abroad. After all, this money was not enough to live on abroad.
Thinking of Yao Zizhou, Ming Liuyi’s heart was filled with complicated emotions. After sleeping together for so long, perhaps she should bid him farewell, or see what his attitude was. In her heart, she felt a little optimistic.
After she had contemplated everything, Ming Liuyi immediately decided to sleep alone tonight to see if the spiritual spring would dry up again. The next day, she would sneak out of the Yao family, or else she might lose her life at any time.
That night, Ming Liuyi did not personally send the food to the hospital. Instead, she gave the food box to the driver. At midnight, Ming Liuyi secretly went to the hospital. The lights in the inpatient department were off, and the lights in the corridor were adjusted to a brightness suitable for nighttime.
Ming Liuyi walked into Yao Zizhou’s room. A nurse was resting on the bed next to her. The nurse heard her voice and got up to see Ming Liuyi. She was about to say something, but Ming Liuyi gestured for her to keep quiet and pointed at the door, signaling the nurse to wait outside. The nurse immediately walked out.
Ming Liuyi carefully looked at Yao Zizhou on the bed. Although she had seen him countless times before, she still felt that Yao Zizhou’s appearance was very stunning. Ming Liuyi sat quietly on the chair beside the bed, and just like before, she reached out to feel Yao Zizhou’s body temperature.
But when she remembered that Yao Zizhou had woken up, Ming Liuyi pulled her hand back. She looked at Yao Zizhou helplessly, and after a moment of silence, she bit her lip and softly said to him, “Yao Zizhou, you woke up so soon. I’m so happy for you.”
Yao Zizhou was lying on the bed, and his eyelashes were moving slightly, but Ming Liuyi did not notice. She looked at Yao Zizhou’s face with a complicated expression. After tomorrow, they might not see each other again.
“The Ming Liuyi from before did a lot of wrong things. But I’ve been taking good care of you all this time… to make up for the harm that Ming Liuyi caused you. I’m not trying to use morality to guilt-trip you. It’s fine if you don’t want to forgive me. I don’t know if you heard what I said before, when I said that I will leave before you wake up. I didn’t want to break my promise, but you woke up too suddenly, and I’m not ready yet.
“But don’t worry. I’ll definitely leave after tonight. You’re so powerful. Even if I leave, I believe you’ll be fine. Your eyes and legs will also get better. Please forget the pain that Ming Liuyi had caused you, and also forget the dark days that you had to endure. You will always be proud and live on with confidence.”
As she spoke, Ming Liuyi seemed to have thought of something and laughed at herself. If she had transmigrated earlier, could all of this have been avoided? Would Yao Zizhou have ended up like this?
Ming Liuyi continued, “Even if I stay, I’ll only remind you of those dark days. I’m sure you don’t want to see me.”
As she spoke, Ming Liuyi’s eyes reddened. These past few days, she had taken care of Yao Zizhou with all her heart, and perhaps she had developed some feelings for him. Ming Liuyi’s voice was hoarse as she continued.
“That’s all. Yao Zizhou, you have to take good care of yourself in the future. I’m leaving now.”
