CHAPTER 404: CHAPTER 405: BAI YUEJIE ARRIVES

Xiao Deng was infuriated by her sharp tongue, "You..."

"And in fact, the ones who were in trouble were not me but those two murderers who accidentally killed in self-defense," Shi Mei seemed somewhat agitated, "so as the people’s police of Xia Country, you can only sit here lamenting that your female compatriot wasn’t raped and killed, questioning her actions as contrary to common sense!"

Having yelled all this, her head throbbed with pain.

Shi Mei weakened again, leaning on the pillow, unaware of tears trickling down from the corner of her eyes.

The police exchanged glances and quickly concluded their interrogation.

But they still left one officer behind to ’protect’ the vulnerable suspect.

In reality, it was surveillance.

Shi Mei had no intention of escaping, lying on the bed for the doctor to administer an IV, and then she fell asleep restlessly.

Today was the second day of the New Year.

It was supposed to be a day to visit relatives, but the Shi Family had spent it all in the hospital.

Even Uncle Yang and Aunt Chen, who were finally on vacation, took the initiative to come to the hospital to take care of Shi Lingyan and Shi Mei.

The first New Year spent in the Shi Family, the first New Year after her rebirth, was just too miserable.

Shi Mei lay in bed, mocking herself, and after finally gathering enough strength to get out of bed, she asked Aunt Chen to take her to see Shi Lingyan.

Shi Lingyan was still lying in the ICU, and she could only look in through the glass.

All she could see was his face under an oxygen mask, connected to various machines.

The proud and perfect man now lay on the hospital bed, his fate between life and death unknown.

Shi Mei’s feelings were extremely complicated as she looked at Shi Lingyan on the hospital bed.

Several times, she had wanted Shi Lingyan to just die.

But when he was really on the brink of death, all she felt was collapse and despair.

She didn’t want him to die, not at all!

Perhaps it was only because Bai Yuejie was the one who wanted to kill him this time, and she wanted to contradict Bai Yuejie;

Or maybe it was because she wanted Shi Lingyan to come to his senses and see exactly what his cherished ’first love’ was truly like!

So although he had personally condemned her to hell, deep down she still hoped that he would live a good life, continue to exist in this world.

Only by allowing him to live on could he realize the foolishness of his actions.

Only then could he discover how idiotic it was to have killed Tang Wu years ago, giving her heart to that ungrateful, heartless fiend!

Shi Mei stood in front of the glass for who knows how long, her emotions turning over and over, until Aunt Chen gently called out to her, "Shi Mei."

Shi Mei turned around, somewhat numb.

Seeing this, Aunt Chen’s heart ached, "Let’s go back for now. Standing here isn’t solving anything."

Shi Mei remained silent, turning to follow Aunt Chen back to the ward.

But arriving back at the ward, she unexpectedly saw an uninvited guest.

Bai Yuejie smiled slightly upon seeing Shi Mei and said, "Shi Mei."

Bai Yuejie was still dressed in clean attire, seeming to carry an aura of soft light, very beautiful and ethereal.

Aunt Chen, upon seeing Bai Yuejie, was delighted, "Miss Bai, what brings you here?"

Bai Yuejie said, "I... wanted to come see how Shi Mei and Brother Ling Yan were doing."

"That’s wonderful," Aunt Chen was somewhat moved, "The young lady just woke up recently. You can talk with her to lift her spirits."

When Shi Mei hadn’t yet returned to normal, Bai Yuejie was her good friend. If Bai Yuejie could offer some comfort now, perhaps Shi Mei’s mood might improve a lot as well.
