Lin Nuannuan stayed by my side without leaving an inch.
She was afraid that I might die at any moment.
When she took care of me, she acted like a madwoman.
Every meal I had was fed to me by her.
When I went to the bathroom, she followed me as well.
She was worried that I might accidentally hurt myself.
I feared that her sleepless care for me would eventually lead to her breaking down.
So, when Nuan Nuan was not in the ward, I got out of bed, intending to go to the bathroom.
But I didn't expect that my strength had deteriorated to such an extent.
I fell down.
My nose hit the edge of the sink, and blood flowed endlessly.
I struggled to get up, but the cloth-wrapped mirror was stained with large patches of fresh blood.
I tore off that piece of cloth.
Then, I saw my own grotesque face.
My face covered in blood looked like a demon crawling out of hell.
“ Ning Zhaozhao!”
Chi Mu rushed in and pulled me into his arms.
He didn’t dare let me see my face.
“Where is Lin Nuannuan? Where did she go?”
His tone was harsh, somewhat venting his anger on her.
I grabbed his sleeve. " Chi Mu, don't blame her."
"Nuan Nuan has her own family; she has elders at home. She can't just abandon her family to take care of me, right?"
" Chi Mu, you should go out. I can handle this alone."
Chi Mu tore off a piece of towel and wiped the bloodstains from my face.
His eyes were red, yet he still smiled and scolded me, " Ning Zhaozhao, do you think I'm particularly stupid?"
"You've been sick for so long, and I didn't even know."
"You've been hiding it from me, watching me run around like a fool. Do you feel particularly happy about that?"
"Just tell me! You need to tell me!"
"When did you get sick? Why did you hide it from me?"
" Lin Nuannuan knows about it; why don't I?"
"I'm your husband!"
I stared blankly at Chi Mu.
After a long while, I gently smiled and said, " Chi Mu, I don't need you."
"I'm sick; if I die, then so be it. I don't need you to be sad for me."
"From the very beginning, I didn't need you."
Chi Mu lifted me onto the hospital bed.
He turned his back to me, tears flowing freely down his face.
"Yes, you don't need me, but if you die, I'll still be alive."
" Ning Zhaozhao, do you know that I am destined to live in the shadow you've cast over my life?"
"I can't live without you, even if you're about to die, I still can't live without you."
"Do you think I love you? No, I just can't live without you."
"Even if you don't need me, you have to take me with you because this is what you owe me."
I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Chi Mu, I will no longer respond to your feelings.
Because from the very beginning, I didn't need you.
Chi Mu doesn't know the reason I broke up with him.
On the day he returned successful and said he wanted to marry me, I planned to tell him the truth.
I owe him an explanation.
I wanted to tell him that the hurtful words I said when we broke up were all lies; he is a good person and deserves a better girl.
But Chi Mu didn't give me the chance to explain.
He domineeringly interrupted me, saying, " Ning Zhaozhao, my proposal to marry you is not up for discussion; you should accept it with gratitude."
"You hurt me in the past, so now I will hurt you just as much; that’s only fair."
"You want to explain, but I don't want to listen."
"You made me so sad once, now you should feel just as sad; that’s only fair."
I looked at his face and suddenly felt he was a stranger.
Once, my mom and I treated him so well; was it all just one-sided?
I suddenly remembered that year; I should have held on tightly to him.
I couldn't be bothered to explain and simply said, "I don't want to marry."
"Let's part on good terms."
But he threatened me, "If you really don't agree, I'll ruin everything you have now."
"Including Lin Nuannuan."
I was furious and slapped him, " Chi Mu, you bastard!"
He sneered, "A bastard? There's worse. Do you want to give it a try?"
I didn't dare to try.
I was afraid of ruining Lin Nuannuan's life.
I couldn't take the gamble.
In the end, I had no choice but to marry him.
This revenge lasted a long time.
Until he got tired of playing and wanted to reconcile.
Unfortunately, I no longer loved him.
In my daze, I heard Chi Mu crying.
He kept asking, "Why won't the bleeding stop?"
" Ning Zhaozhao, please stop bleeding, okay?"
