Ye Kun replaced the wilting rose in the small vase by the bedside with a fresh red rose. He wrapped the withered rose up and handed it to the nurse behind him.

“You aren’t supposed to bring things from outside into this room for the risk of polluting the air. I had to plead with the nurses to disinfect the flowers, and I can only bring one at a time. Fang Xi likes red roses. She said that others might think this flower and its color are tacky, but she likes it for its passion,” Ye Kun stated calmly.

Xi Cheng felt a pang in his heart. He’d never given Fang Xi flowers before and never knew what colors or flowers she liked. He just gave her money for all the important dates: birthdays, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, and all the other festivals. He never bothered to find out her preferences; he gave her money so she could buy whatever she liked, but she didn’t spend his money.

Ye Kun stood behind him and told him, “Right now, she has a blood clot pressing against her brain. There is hope that she’ll wake up if the blood clot gets absorbed within the stipulated time, but we don’t know to what extent she’ll recover.”

Xi Cheng’s voice was hoarse as he asked, “What if she can’t absorb the blood clot?”

“She’ll lie motionless like this forever until the day her organs fail,” Ye Kun replied as calmly as before, and Xi Cheng visibly swayed on his feet.

Ye Kun continued, “The day of the accident, the car that hit her was Lin Yu’s, and the one behind the wheel was Lin Zhu, the Lin family’s second daughter. Lin Zhu insisted that she’d wanted to stay for the banquet that day, hoping to meet a few talented young men, but her cousin Lin Yu didn’t allow it. Lin Yu gave Lin Zhu’s mother tens of thousands of dollars and sent them away.”

“Lin Zhu was already out the door, but her cousin returned and threw her car keys at her, saying that she would give the car to her if Lin Zhu could drive it out of the courtyard within ten minutes. That’s why Lin Zhu was driving so fast.” Ye Kun closed his eyes as he finished, his heart aching. ‘The accident would have been avoided ifI’d stayed by Fang Xi’s side,’ he thought.

Xi Cheng turned around and looked at Ye Kun. “You suspect Lin Yu’s the one behind this? No, that’s impossible!” He denied it, defending Lin Yu.

Ye Kun didn’t expect Xi Cheng to be so stupid. Seeing that Ye Kun wasn’t saying anything, Xi Cheng hurriedly said, “Lin Yu wasn’t even there back then. It was my mother who had a conflict with Fang Xi. I watched the security camera playback afterward; Lin Yu had nothing to do with this incident.”

Ye Kun’s gaze fell on Fang Xi’s face. He was glad she wasn’t awake to hear Xi Cheng’s words. Xi Cheng, on the other hand, didn’t think that his words were inappropriate at all. He continued to explain, “This was an accident; no one wanted this to happen. Although Lin Zhu is brash and ignorant, she didn’t mean to do it. She didn’t know Fang Xi; she wouldn’t have purposefully harmed her. ”

“Lin Yu… She’s actually very kind at heart. Her actions may say otherwise, but she’s just trying to please my mother. She told me everything; it wasn’t her idea to go to Fang Xi and force her to leave. It was my mother who did that for her sake—I‘

“Xi Cheng, what are you trying to say?” Ye Kun interrupted Xi Cheng’s rambling. Xi Cheng froze.

“What are you trying to say?” Ye Kun repeated as he stared at Xi Cheng. “Are you telling Fang Xi that Lin Zhu and Lin Yu aren’t at fault, and your dear, sweet mother, who could do no wrong, is also blameless? Are you saying Fang Xi’s to blame since everyone else is innocent?”

“So, she shouldn’t have accompanied me to your mother’s birthday party and shouldn’t have left when your mother heaped verbal abuse on her?” Ye Kun angrily demanded. “Fang Xi didn’t know that we were friends at all. She didn’t know that the banquet she was attending was your mother’s birthday party, either! Do you think she would’ve attended if she’d known? Do you think she would’ve even accepted my suit if she knew? Fang Xi did her best to give the whole world to you. What else do you want?”

Ye Kun’s voice became more and more agitated as he spoke. “I can’t believe you’re standing here before her hospital bed, trying to justify your family hurting her! You might as well have just stabbed her and let her die! It would’ve hurt less!” He stepped forward, grabbed Xi Cheng’s collar, and growled lowly, “Get out of here! Get lost!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xi Cheng was stumped. “I didn’t mean that. I didn’t—” Ye Kun forcefully dragged him out, alarming the nurses at the nurses’ station, and they rushed over.

“You don’t have to love her,” Ye Kun said icily. “But you and your family can’t hurt her! Yon want to see her? Fine. you’ve seen her- Are you satisfied now?

She’s lying in there, dead to the world, and won’t be a threat to your reputation anymore. Are you satisfied, Young Master Xi? Stop pretending you love her. You’re so f*cking disgusting!”

“Get him out of here!” Ye Kun roared at the nurses. The machines beside Fang Xi suddenly started to beep erratically, and Ye Kun paled. “Doctor! Doctor! Call the doctor! Quick, call the doctor!”

Xi Cheng was pushed out and could only watch as a large group of doctors and nurses ran over. Ye Kun held Fang Xi’s hand and kept calling her name. The door closed, cutting off the hectic and chaotic scene from his sight..
