His words were harsh yet helpless .
Yet, when the words left his mouth, both of their hearts… ached .
Su Yue pursed her lips, shaking her head . “It’s not awkward . You’re still Uncle Ming . ”
She forced a smile .
Ming Ansheng’s lips curled upwards and he nodded . “That’s good . ”
His voice was hoarse, her words like sharp knives that pierced his heart .
Su Yue said nothing further . She gazed out the window .
In the ward, when he had calmed down, Ming Ansheng said, “Have a good rest . I’ll phone your third brother and third sister-in-law to check their location . ”
Then he stood up and walked to the door, taking out his phone .
A selfish thought crossed his mind: not to tell them her whereabouts .
When she was in his arms just now, the thought of bringing her away and hiding her from the world even crossed his mind .
Su Yue watched him leave, gritting her teeth . Her tears betrayed her by rolling down her face .
‘Silly girl, you’re the one that I like…’
Uncle Ming liked her, and she liked him back .
She was a mistress . She was really a mistress now . Tang Feiling was right—she had seduced Uncle Ming unintentionally .
‘Su Yue, if Uncle Ming calls off his marriage with Tang Feiling, you’re a mistress . You’re a mistress…’
Although she was on painkillers, her heart still ached .
But she didn’t know if the pain was physical or emotional .
“Yueyue . ”
The ward door was pushed open and Xuxu rushed in .
Su Yue retracted her thoughts and looked at the door . She smiled . “Third sister-in-law . ”
They had applied medication on her wound, and she was in her hospital clothes, so Xuxu couldn’t see the wound on her chest . Her heart ached at the sight of Su Yue’s swollen cheeks .
“You scared me to death . ” Xuxu sat down by her bed and caressed her face gently .
Tang Feiling had slapped her real hard yesterday, so the handprint on her cheek was still clear as day .
Xuxu gritted her teeth when she saw it . If Ming Ansheng hadn’t already disfigured Tang Feiling’s face, she would’ve slapped her a hundred times over .
But it shocked her when she heard that Ming Ansheng had disfigured Tang Feiling’s face with a red hot metal rod .
Of course, it was outrageous that Tang Feiling had kidnapped Yueyue and even abused her, but to think Ming Ansheng had retaliated so wildly .
A thought flashed through her mind and her face paled . She anxiously lifted the covers off Su Yue and asked, “Yueyue, are you hurt anywhere else?”
Tang Feiling was rash and brainless . What did she do to Yueyue in the span of a night?
What did she do that made Ming Ansheng retaliate so unmercifully?
‘Could she have…?’
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became .
Su Yue saw through her . Xuxu still didn’t know about her chest wound . She was afraid that Xuxu would be heartbroken, so she smiled and shook her head . “There’s nowhere else . ”
“Yueyue . ”
Xuxu noticed something unusual on Su Yue’s chest under Su Yue’s thin hospital clothes .
Su Yue saw her gaze and hurriedly covered herself with the blanket with a smile . “I’m fine . There’s really nothing else . ”
But of course, she couldn’t get past Xuxu . “Yueyue, let me have a look . ”
Xuxu flipped off the covers forcefully and unbuttoned Su Yue’s clothes .
