After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 708 - 712: A Sense of Gloom [2]

"We understand, thank you, Doctor," Shen Yizhou said politely as he thanked the other party.

Two nurses pushed out medical waste, and a few people carefully entered, coming to Xu Pei’s side.

"Sister Xu Pei, how are you feeling?"

Huangfu Ruo was the first to approach, holding onto her hospital bed, and asked with concern.

"I..."

"I know, your throat must be hurting a lot and feeling uncomfortable, don’t talk if you don’t want to," Huangfu Ruo looked at Shen Yizhou at her side, "Brother Yizhou, can she drink water?"

"She can’t drink plain water," Shen Yizhou glanced around, and noticing an electrolyte solution set aside, he immediately picked it up and handed it to Tong Ya, "This should have been prepared by the hospital for her, let her drink a bit to moisten her throat."

Severe burns, drinking lots of plain water might lead to terrible consequences.

Tong Ya took it carefully, gently putting the straw to Xu Pei’s lips, "There, slowly, take small sips, don’t rush."

Xu Pei glanced sideways, easily noticing the bandages wrapped around her arm.

Before her eyes, the previous scene flashed by.

She had shoved Tong Ya away, and as Tong Ya got up from the ground and grabbed the car door, she stepped on the gas like a madwoman, sweeping Tong Ya off his feet.

In the rearview mirror, she could clearly see Tong Ya rolling twice on the road.

The injury on her arm, that must have been when she got hurt, right?!

"Tong Ya, I’m sorry..."

Her voice rasped as though coming from a rusty old pipe, dry and grating.

Hearing her voice and seeing her severely burned and uneven lips, Tong Ya felt a warmth around her eyes. She carefully placed the straw into Xu Pei’s mouth, trying hard not to let any strangeness show, "Don’t talk about that now, here, take a sip of water first."

Xu Pei took two sips of water, then relaxed her lips, and Tong Ya moved the cup away.

Her gaze slowly swept over those present, and Xu Pei spoke again, "Thank you, thank you all... for still coming to see me."

"Not just us, there’s also Brother Zirui and my brother as well, they were also here all last night, they only left a little while ago because they had to attend an event, but as soon as it’s over, they’ll come to see you," Huangfu Ruo hurriedly explained, "Right, there’s also Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian even made a special call just now to ask about your condition."

At the mention of Leng Zirui’s name, Xu Pei was already very surprised, but upon hearing Huangfu Ruo mention Luo Xiaoqian, she hardly dared to believe it.

"You don’t need to lie to me anymore."

Leng Zirui, perhaps, might come to see her, but Luo Xiaoqian... she would definitely not care whether she lived or died.

After all the things she had done against Luo Xiaoqian, that girl must now wish she were dead, so how could she make a call to ask about her?

"Really, what reason would I have to lie to you!" Huangfu Ruo spoke earnestly, "She even came to the hospital to see you last night, but then she was..."

Fearing that talking about Zimo’s matters would upset Xu Pei, Qin Lan quickly interrupted Huangfu Ruo’s words, "Then Zimo was worried about Xiao Qian being pregnant and afraid that Uncle Leng’s health would suffer on hearing about your accident, so they left early."

Xu Pei blinked, "You don’t have to cover up for him, I know, he... he could never forgive me, even if I died, he wouldn’t!"

She knew Zimo too well.

Everyone listened to her voice in silence.

Indeed, Zimo had not forgiven her, but how could he easily forgive the things she had done?

"I don’t blame him, I ended up like this because I brought it upon myself, I deserve to die..." Xu Pei said softly, her voice filled with bleak emotions.
