Hearing Shen Jiayi’s words, Xia Yanran clenched her hands tightly, her knuckles turning so pale it looked like they were about to snap. Her throat felt as if an invisible hand was choking her tightly, suffocating her.
Her eyes on Shen Jiayi slowly blurred.
Her heart beat faster, speeding up nonstop as if it was going to jump out of her chest.
She closed her eyes, tears trailing down her face as she said with trembling lips, “Sister Jiayi, you’re right, I’m being too selfish and uncaring…”
Her brother was hospitalized and was in life danger, yet she was with Xiao Yi…
Not only was she too selfish, she deserved to die!
Her love hurt her brother terribly. He had long told her to not be with a man who could not give her a stable future anymore.
But she didn’t listen.
Xiao Yi’s appearance made her heart go crazy.
She was the worst and deserved to die!
Shen Jiayi stared at Xia Yanran’s tear-covered face, sighing as her expression eased a little. She knew that Xia Yanran could not be fully blamed for Junyuan being hospitalized last night.
Junyuan didn’t let her tell them, so the pair of sisters didn’t know either.
“Yanran, don’t cry. Although your brother is seriously injured, his life isn’t in danger anymore.”
Xia Yanran wiped her tears away as she helped Shen Jiayi to pack Junyuan’s clothes. She then went back to the kitchen to make breakfast, packing it in a thermos container and went to the hospital with Shen Jiayi.
Junyuan was hospitalized in the city hospital he used to work at before. In the past, Junyuan was the best surgeon here. With his good skills and temper, many people came from around the country to consult him.
Originally, his future had been exceptionally bright.
At the thought that it was all because of her, Xia Yanran felt even sadder and more guilty.
Once she got off the car, she rushed towards Junyuan’s room.
The door wasn’t shut, and when Xia Yanran was about to push the door open, she heard a doctor speaking to Junyuan. “…Junyuan, the injuries on the other parts of your body can recover, except for…”
Hearing the doctor’s heavy words, Xia Yanran didn’t go in immediately.
She moved her hand away from the door handle, looking inside the room with blurry eyes. The doctor in his white robe was covering Junyuan, so she couldn’t see how her brother looked like now.
“I know, tell me the truth!”
“The part that is the most important to men was injured badly and you might suffer from erectile dysfunction from now on, so you have to be prepared.”
Junyuan closed his eyes as he remained unmoving on the bed. Every bone within him, including that part, felt extremely painful and terrible.
The doctor was Junyuan’s old colleague, and he couldn’t help but feel pity when he saw that Junyuan had become like this. “Junyuan, who hit you? Who would be that ruthless to do this to you?”
After Xia Yanran heard the doctor’s words, her mind immediately went blank. Her face paled completely, her body trembling as if she had fallen into a depthless abyss.
Shen Jiayi, who had been standing behind Xia Yanran, heard the conversation as well. What did the doctor just say? Junyuan was going to be disabled from now on?
How could this happen?
The luggage Shen Jiayi was holding fell to the fell as her legs went weak. She supported herself against the wall, fear and despair spreading in her eyes.
Hearing the loud thud, the doctor glanced at the door.
Seeing Xia Yanran and Shen Jiayi, he turned back to tell Junyuan, “Your family is here.”
After hearing such a fatal blow, Junyuan’s emotions couldn’t be read as only his eyes turned slightly red.
For every man, this was news that brought them endless despair.
Junyuan was no exception.
He nodded. “Let them come in!”
The doctor walked to the door and saw two equally pale faces, as if they had experienced a large blow. He said, “Junyuan told you guys to go in.”
Xia Yanran’s mind was still buzzing. It took her a while to finally move her lead-like, heavy legs towards Junyuan. Her eyes were so red she was about to cry tears of blood.
Shen Jiayi followed behind Xia Yanran.
Junyuan looked up, knowing that Xia Yanran and Shen Jiayi had heard the doctor’s words and were having a mental breakdown now after he saw their pale faces and red eyes.
Compared to them, his expression was the same as usual. His pale lips moved as his eyes landed on Xia Yanran. “Yanran, go out for a while, I have something to say to Jiayi.”
Junyuan was still very weak, needing to cough several times whenever he spoke.
Xia Yanran stared at Junyuan, whose face was so swollen he couldn’t be recognized, her heart panging in pain.
She nodded with red eyes before she walked out.
Once Junyuan and Jiayi were the only ones left in the room, Junyuan’s eyes landed on the pretty bracelet Shen Jiayi was wearing before he looked away. “Jiayi, did you hear Dr Li’s words?”
Shen Jiayi nodded as tears covered her face.
Junyuan’s injured lips tugged slightly, his tone laced with an unknown emotion. “After you got together with me, you haven’t been happy. Jiayi, please choose someone that can make you happy!”
Staring at Junyuan, who was still speaking to her gently even though his heart must be bleeding at such a time, Shen Jiayi’s emotions suddenly exploded. “You already know about it, don’t you?”
Junyuan remained quiet.
Shen Jiayi hated it when Junyuan acted like this. Whenever they fought, he would remain quiet no matter what she said.
She wiped her tears. “You already know that I had a one night stand with another man after you rejected my advances on you on my birthday and went out drinking, right?”
Junyuan’s lips pursed tightly.
“I made a mistake. You knew about it, but you never said anything. Junyuan, do you think you’re very noble? Very capable? Or is it because you don’t love me at all, so you don’t care about it!”
Junyuan stared at the tears-stricken Shen Jiayi, his lips moving. “After I rejected you that night, I went to look for you. When I found out that you weren’t in the hotel, I went to look around for you until I saw you crouching down in front of the bar’s entrance, sobbing loudly. Senior was squatting beside you as he comforted you, but you slapped him.
“Jiayi, I know you didn’t do it on purpose, you’re suffering as well.”
Shen Jiayi’s body shook, crying as she laughed. “Your senior used to be a surgeon in the same department as you. He’s not as handsome as you, and his skills aren’t as good are you, but he’s the Surgeon Chief now. He confessed to me when I had a crush on you. Actually, I’m not as good as you think I am. Because I couldn’t get warmth from you, I would often rant to your senior.
“Although I drank too much that night, I also knew that it was your senior. When he forced himself on me, I even felt a hint of revenge. Xia Junyuan, you knew that I betrayed you first, but why didn’t you hit or scold me? You could have initiated a breakup, but you never said anything. You’ve been waiting for me to bring it up because you want me to keep my dignity, don’t you?”
