Yan Wushuang said nothing, just stared at him blankly, tears blurring her vision. Despite this, she was sure she wasn't mistaken; the clothes he wore were meant for patients, and he wasn't wearing that cold Silver Mask. Instead, his face was covered with a piece of white gauze.
Seeing her unresponsive, Rafas lowered his head to kiss her lips again, but Yan Wushuang pushed against his chest with her small hand and asked in confusion, "Why are you wearing those clothes? Why is your face wrapped in gauze? What happened to your face?"
A barrage of questions hit Rafas. After a moment of silence, he moved her hand away from his chest and enveloped her hands in his once more, kissing her gently.
"I'm fine. I just had skin graft surgery a few days ago to cover the scar that scared and disgusted you. In a few days, when the gauze is removed, my face will be like it used to be. You'll definitely like it!" Rafas said happily. As long as she could forgive him, this was nothing.
Yan Wushuang looked at his face, completely bewildered by his words. She didn't understand what skin graft surgery was, but from what he said, she understood his intention: he wanted to restore his face to how it looked before the injury. But after being hurt so badly, could he really recover?
"Why go through all this?" Wushuang turned her cheek away to avoid his gaze.
"No... I have to do this. For you, I must get rid of the scar!" His tone was firm, causing Wushuang's heart to tremble.
For a moment, Yan Wushuang couldn't face him. She realized he had been hiding in the hospital to recover these past few days and hadn't come to find her. But why did he choose to have surgery at such a critical time? What did he mean by that?
"Baby... Shuang'er..." Seeing her ignore him again, Rafas continued to whisper her name in her ear.
Yan Wushuang gently shifted her body, feeling pain all over and a bit dizzy...
"Baby, lie still and don't move. You have bruises all over; Shouya has already treated your wounds. In a couple of days when they scab over, it won't hurt anymore!" He tenderly advised her, but seeing her in pain made him wish he could tear apart the bastard who had knocked her down.
Yan Wushuang obediently lay still. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she became a bit agitated and tried to sit up abruptly but was quickly held down by the quick-handed Rafas: "Stay still; just tell me what you want to do!"
"Xinya? Where is Xinya?" It dawned on her that when the car came crashing toward them, she had hurriedly pushed Xinya out of the way.
After a pause, Rafas suddenly thought, "Isn't Xinya that blind girl? If it's her, you don't need to worry. She isn't hurt at all; she was just here with Shouya watching you. Shouya has already taken her home, saying he was afraid her grandmother would be worried!"
Yan Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Xinya was fine. After all, she had been injured before.
Rafas hadn't seen her for several days and had been thinking about her. Finally seeing her, he was met with this situation.
For the past few days, Yan Wushuang had been troubled by his issues, unable to sleep or eat well. But after seeing him, she realized he had undergone such a dangerous surgery for her sake.
The two fell silent instantly. Wushuang couldn't find the words to say to him. She still had some concerns in her heart. Did he really see her as a substitute, or did he truly love her?
"Baby, please don't be mad at me anymore. I really don't know how to explain those misunderstandings to you, but I just need you to believe me a little. Right now, the only woman in my heart is Yan Wushuang; she is just a thing of the past. In my heart, she holds no place anymore." Rafas was afraid she would leave him again and held her hand tightly, earnestly explaining.
Wushuang understood everything in her heart. After talking with Xinya last night, her emotions were not as intense as they had been in previous days. Seeing him make such sacrifices for her eased some of the resentment she felt towards him.
However, no matter what, he had still hurt her and deceived her. Even if she forgave him this time, her trust in him would be significantly diminished.
From morning until afternoon, after several hours of turmoil, she hadn't eaten a single grain of rice. Under his burning gaze, her stomach felt uncomfortable from hunger, but she was too embarrassed to tell him.
"I... I..." She hesitated for a long time without getting to the point.
Rafas looked at her face, thinking she would provide an answer, but after waiting for a long time, she still didn't say anything.
"I'm so hungry..." The warning signals from her body made it impossible for her to continue like this. No matter what, she needed to eat first before anything else.
Rafas realized it was already noon. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, pressing the signal light by the bedside to immediately have someone prepare a lavish meal.
Mike represented the victim, Yan Wushuang, and had been following the police back to the station. Rafas had repeatedly ordered him not to go easy on that guy, but since this matter involved Wushuang, he had to deal with the police and the Doug Family in Monica's positive identity.
The lawyer had everything prepared and was fully ready to ensure that the kid would end up in jail. This was Rafas's instruction; rather than beating him up or killing him, it was better to let him experience the torment of being bullied every day. Given his temperament, they believed he would have a hard time in prison without their interference.
Josen was found to have a blood alcohol content that severely exceeded the legal limit and was charged with drunk driving, which added to his offenses. He was immediately detained by the police.
Majef, Josen's father and a key figure in the Doug Family, rushed over with a lawyer as soon as he received the police call. He initially thought he could settle things with some money, but when he learned that the person his son injured was not an ordinary individual, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Monica, Rafas's wife, was well-known in business circles for how much Rafas adored her. However, now that their reckless son had caused an injury while driving drunk and sent someone to the hospital—who took hours to be revived—Rafas would certainly not let this go easily!
As expected, when his lawyer applied for bail, it was rejected without reason. Majef personally approached higher authorities to discuss the matter but was told there was nothing they could do because Monica had already sent people to manage the entire process.
Majef seemed to age several years in an instant. For so many years, he had always conducted business quietly and lawfully. Although business could be cutthroat at times and required some maneuvering and connections, he had never offended anyone. He never expected that today his irresponsible son would provoke Rafas.
Josen was temporarily held in a detention center. After a few hours, as the alcohol slowly wore off from his system, he began to regain consciousness. Even what Faisal had whispered in his ear earlier felt uncertain—he couldn't tell if it was real or imagined.
Now before him stood a cage with walls surrounding him. At this moment, he truly realized the seriousness of the situation and understood what trouble he had gotten himself into.
"Let me out! I want to see my father! I want to see my lawyer!" he shouted anxiously.
The lawyer had completed the necessary procedures and requested to meet Josen. In a simple small room, Majef entered with the lawyer, waiting for that reckless son to arrive so he could find out exactly what had happened.
The door opened, and Josen, with his hands cuffed, walked in under the watch of the police. Upon seeing his father and lawyer, he finally felt a sense of relief.
“Dad, help me! I don’t want to go to jail!” Josen rushed forward, pleading anxiously.
“Sit down first and explain what happened in detail,” Lawyer Hawking adjusted his glasses as he spoke.
Josen moved to sit across from them, recalling the events from last night to this morning. He said roughly, “Last night, a few friends and I were at the nightclub drinking until almost dawn. After that, we went to grab something to eat. Once we finished, we each drove home. I don’t even know how I ended up on that small street. I saw two pretty women ahead and wanted to go talk to them, and that’s when everything went wrong!”
Hawking listened seriously to his account, but Majef’s expression grew worse as he listened. The facts were clear: his son had been driving under the influence and had recklessly driven towards someone, resulting in an accident.
“That’s about it. Lawyer Hawking, tell me if there’s any chance of winning this case. Am I going to jail?” Josen had only been detained for a few hours but had already had enough of that feeling. If he were really sentenced to prison, he would go insane.
Hawking was silent for a moment, looking at the evidence in hand and Josen’s statement before shaking his head helplessly. “The police found your blood alcohol level severely over the limit. You drove into that street recklessly; many pedestrians saw you crashing around and damaging public property. Some even witnessed you hitting the female victim. Even without Monica’s pressure, based on the evidence the police have now, young Master Doug, you’re likely in serious trouble.”
“What do you mean by trouble? My dad hired you to find a way to get me out of this mess, not to tell me I’m in trouble! Do you understand?” Josen refused to accept reality; he believed that with enough money, he could smooth things over.
“Shut up… What time is it? You’re still so arrogant! The police have so many witnesses and physical evidence; your car is still parked there! That’s secondary; what’s foolish is that you don’t realize who you’ve messed with!” Majef was nearly furious, standing up with his hands pressed against the table. This idiot still didn’t understand the gravity of his situation?
Josen fell silent at his father’s shout, not daring to say another word as he sat quietly listening to their analysis…
One word at a time, Hawking laid out the stakes clearly for Josen. No matter what connections they tried to leverage now, no one dared help them because everyone had been bought off by Rafas. Moreover, some people were avoiding him upon hearing that he had crossed paths with Rafas related to Monica; they were pretending to be deaf and mute to avoid offending him!
