1192: I Don't Want Anything, Except for You (8)

I Don't Want Anything, Except for You (8)

"He can! He did protect me! If he hadn't protected me, I would be dead! How is that not protecting me?" Annie asked.2

"It's not!" Chris said severely. Even if he prevented harm from coming to you, he got injured in the process and paid with his life. If he can't escape unscathed, how can he protect against what lies ahead?"

Annie couldn't stand to hear Ye Sijue being spoken of like that so she hollered at him in a rage, "I won't allow you to speak of him like that! What do you know! He was already sick, and had shielded me when rolling down the slope! Do you know how much blood he lost! But he was so worried for me that he kept it a secret and didn't tell me! Can you imagine how spent he was then? Even so, he used his body to protect me from the venomous snake! He's even willing to throw his life away for me! How is that not enough? He's only human. He's not a god! You can't expect him to be perfect!"

Chris narrowed his eyes as he looked at her steadily.

Growing up, she had never shouted at him like this before.

Annie spoke as tears rolled down her face. "Chris… Do you know how terrified I was when he was about to die? I wished that I could switch places with him! I regretted not canceling the engagement earlier and wondered why I made him so sad…"

The car was silent for a long while before Chris' voice rang out, "Drive to the hospital."

Annie looked at him, dumbfounded.

Chris looked at her helplessly and took out a piece of tissue from a compartment in the car for her to wipe her tears. "Alright, you win, okay? Even though I don't know him well, let's do this since you like him so much. I'll see how he performs in the future."

Annie was stunned, and wondered if she had heard him wrong.

She was dazed until they reached the hospital. Chris opened the door for her and led her out of the car. It was only then that she returned to her senses and rushed back to the hospital.

After running in, she remembered that she didn't know which ward Ye Sijue was in.

She was about to ask a nurse when she saw Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie.

Why were they… standing right outside the operating theater?

A huge wave of unease flooded Annie as she walked over slowly.

Just then, the door to the operating theater opened. A doctor walked out, his expression grave. He said to Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie, "I'm sorry. We did our best."

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes teared up. She lept into Yin Shaojie's embrace and started to cry.

Instantly, Annie felt as though she had been filled to the brim with ice water, her entire body becoming cold and stiff.

She shook her head in disbelief.

No… Ye Sijue couldn't have died…

A nurse wheeled a bed out shortly afterwards and she saw a white cloth covering the person's head.

Annie felt as though she were unable to breathe. She staggered forward and touched the edge of the white cloth, trembling.

"Ye Sijue… Don't die… Wake up! WAKE UP! I don't want you to die… What will I do if you're dead? What will I do! I… I've already decided that I don't want anything except for you. I only want to be together with you…"
