He sunk his eyes. He looked at Zoey for a second, only to see that Zoey wasn’t even trying to look at him. His eyes deepened a bit, and he stepped forward, clasping Nabi’s hand. “It’s me.”
“Jerry …” hearing his voice, Nabi Yan’s tears, at once, came out of her eyes. She grabbed him even tighter, with fear and anxiety, as if Jerry Xiao would leave her if she let up a little.
“Jerry is here, why are you still crying?” Shu’s mother wiped her daughter’s tears for her. She also looked at Jerry Xiao, “Nabi is really treating you. She’s been waiting for you to come over.”
Jerry Xiao stood there in silence, his thin lips pursed tightly. Hear Nabi Yan continue to speak: “I will … not be complete after … becoming a waste …”
Jerry Xiao sat down at the edge of the bed and reassured her, “You’re not an invalid, just be strong, and in the future, you can still walk.”
Nabi Yan shook her head, “You don’t have to comfort me like this. I know that … I will have to rely on crutches to walk in the future … Even if I can walk, people will treat me as a monster …”
Thinking about those sympathetic eyes, Nabi Yan simply felt that it was a nightmare for her. Since she was a child, she had endured too many envious and awe-inspiring glances, so how could she bear such eyes that embarrassed her?
Thinking about this, she felt more and more afraid to face it. Fingers almost nestled into Jerry Xiao’s palm, “Jerry … I know that it was my own insistence to run to the mountains to find you that got myself into this. I can’t blame you … so I can’t ask you to be responsible for me, nor do I have the qualifications … but, I really love you very much … never had anyone that made me love like this …”
Every word she said was sincere, like a sob. Even Zoey could feel the weight of this love.
And what about the person in question, Jerry Xiao?
His eyes were complicated, and he straightened the blanket for Nabi Yan, “You are still very weak, don’t talk so much.”
“No, I want to finish … hearing me out, okay?” Nabi Yan gripped him more tightly and looked at him almost pleadingly.
Jerry Xiao couldn’t refuse and could only nod, “Go ahead.”
“If I hadn’t met you again, if it hadn’t been for this avalanche, I wouldn’t have even known that I could love you so much that I could not even take my own life. I can’t ask you for anything, but, Jerry, please don’t abandon me because of my disability, okay?” She had tears in her eyes, “I know that you don’t have no feelings for me! That night, you hugged me and kissed me, I could feel it …”
“Nabi …,” he interrupted her. That night, he got drunk and misidentified someone! That’s all, that’s all!
“Don’t deny me! Jerry, for the sake of being as good as we were five years ago, don’t give up on me, okay?”
“I …” Jerry Xiao was about to speak.
The words, again, were picked up by Nabi Yan, “Without you, I would die! I’ve become an invalid now, and if even you, Jerry, don’t want me, I really might as well die!”
“Nabi, stop it!” Jerry Xiao sank his eyes and looked heavily at her who was in tears, “Don’t take your life for granted!”
“Child’s play? No, it’s not child’s play!” Nabi Yan burst into tears, suddenly pulling the needle in her arm, she started to lose her mind again, looking at Zoey and her mother with hatred, “You all lied to me! You all said that Jerry would take care of me for the rest of my life, but listen to … he doesn’t have that in mind! He doesn’t want me! Mom, I really don’t want to live anymore!”
She huffed, lifted the sheet off her body and muttered, “I want to go, I don’t want to be treated anymore! What’s the point of living nowadays when I’m an invalid …”
The mother cried out in fear, and when she saw her daughter in this state, she knelt down in front of Jerry Xiao with a ‘poof’.
“Auntie!”
“Auntie!”
Zoey and Jerry Xiao, who had already bent over to help Shu’s mother, let out a whisper at the same time.
Shu mother but refused to get up, only crying and climbing on his arm, “Jerry, count auntie please, save my daughter … she loves you so much, how can you watch her die … at least, she is trying to save you, only will fall to this point … you can not be so cruel ah …”
That pleading voice, let people pain heart twitch. Poor parents, Zoey can not bear to look on.
I only saw Jerry Xiao’s face getting worse and worse, holding up Shu’s mother, “Auntie, you get up first.”
“No! If you don’t say yes to my daughter, I’ll be on my knees today! Jerry, Zoey already said that you don’t have a girlfriend yet. If that’s the case, why can’t you accept my daughter? Do you really dislike her?”
He doesn’t have a girlfriend yet? Zoey Baker said so!
Jerry Xiao’s face was ugly, pursed his lips, did not speak, but only raised his eyes and looked heavily at Zoey .
Zoey turned her face away, not daring to take such a look from him. This is to blame her, should not say so? Is … in his opinion, his girlfriend, is herself?
Thinking about this possibility, Zoey’s heart fluttered slightly, and her eyes floated slightly.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
“Call the doctor! Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and call a doctor!” Shu’s mother had already gotten up from the floor and pushed Shu’s father.
“No, I don’t want to see a doctor.” Nabi Yan curled her fingers and gripped the shirt on Jerry Xiao’s chest firmly.
“Nabi, stop it!” Jerry Xiao shouted lowly.
Nabi Yan shook her head, “Jerry, you promised me that you would never leave me before I would get treatment.”
Jerry Xiao’s brow furrowed harder and harder.
He hates being threatened!
“I promised your mother that I would always take care of you as long as your leg doesn’t heal.” Jerry Xiao spoke lightly, his expression somber, “But you need to know …”
“No! Jerry, please don’t say … the next words,” his cold lips, covered by one of Nabi Yan’s small hands.
She looked at him with tears in her eyes, pleadingly, with a pitiful look.
“I know what you want to say, but I don’t want to hear it now … Jerry, when I am better, you can say it again, OK? I’m afraid, now that you say it, I can’t bear it …”
Jerry Xiao took her hand off and tried to continue talking, but Zoey gently interjected, “Nabi is very weak right now, so if you have anything to say, wait until the doctor comes and sees.”
Jerry Xiao looked at Zoey with displeasure, and Zoey just handed him a light look.
“Carry her to bed first.” Mother Shu instructed Jerry Xiao. Mother Shu instructed Jerry Xiao, who did not hesitate to carry Nabi Yan to the bed. She stopped crying and rested in his arms, refusing to leave him even after she reached the bed. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
“Yes.” He replied dryly. Taking care of her was all he would do, and all he could do.
But, taking care, is not the same as being together. Much less will it be love! This, is just a kind of deficit to make up!
Sooner or later, she will know. No, I should say, now she knows very well too, only she wants to lie to herself!
Nabi Yan gently unfolded a smile, the small face on his firm chest, greedily rubbed, “Then I hope, this leg of mine is bad for life. In that case, I can rely on you for the rest of my life …”
“Don’t say silly things like that.” Jerry Xiao frowned and rebuked.
Nabi Yan smiled and gently closed her eyes.
…
Zoey stood aside and stared at the scene in awe, knowing his difficulties, but still couldn’t help but feel sour.
Zoey Baker! What a paradox!
I hope Nabi can be good, but I don’t want them to be so close …
…
After one more look at them embracing each other, Zoey quietly exited from the ward. Walking down the long corridor, she only felt a strong cold wind sweeping over her, making her shiver.
“Zoey Baker!” a low bellow rang out coolly from behind.
She turned around and saw Jerry Xiao’s upright figure standing there, his face hard and unattractive, with an icy aura emanating from all over.
“Why are you out?” Zoey thought it was odd.
How could Nabi be willing to let him out?
Jerry Xiao took a step closer to her, his eyes staring at her like a layer of ice, and a thin flame of anger that startled Zoey.
“What’s wrong?” Looking at him like this, she asked naively.
It looked as if it was angry.
“What’s wrong? How dare you ask me what’s wrong?” Jerry Xiao took a step forward, his entire body looming down, startling Zoey into taking a step back and leaning against the cold wall. He took an aggressive step closer and looked at her with condescending cold eyes, “Zoey Baker, what the hell do you mean?”
Male scent, too strong. It drilled into her breath and made her gasp, “Jerry, what the hell are you so angry about?”
“Zoey Baker, is it true that you really want me to be with Nabi? You knew what I was going to say, but you deliberately interrupted me!” His tone was hard and gangly, almost questioning.
He didn’t know what was wrong with him, but damn it, seeing her interrupt herself, seeing her look like she didn’t really care, it was like he was holding a nameless fire in his heart.
“I didn’t think of it that way. It’s just that Nabi is weak, and right now, you shouldn’t be hurting her …” Zoey bit her lip lightly. If she could, of course she would want them not to be together! She loved him and had him in every corner of her heart, so how could she want him to be with another woman?
But what she thinks, is it useful for him?
He sneered. “Is that so? You’re a holy mother!”
This woman, is she so holy mother that she can push herself to Nabi Yan?
“But, she’s like this because of you, because of me.”
He snorted coldly, “Because of the guilt, because you want me to be with Nabi Yan, that’s why you told your aunt that I don’t have a woman? Hmm?” He realized that this was what he minded the most! This woman, she was simply telling lies with her eyes wide open.
“My aunt asked me if you had a girlfriend, and I just answered truthfully.” Zoey lowered her eyes rather gloomily.
Originally … they are not any boyfriend and girlfriend relationship …
“I don’t have a girlfriend?” Jerry Xiao narrowed his eyes, and danger permeated the bottom of his eyes. So, this woman doesn’t even think of herself as his girlfriend? And, damn it, she also looks like she can’t help but set herself up with Nabi Yan.
When he thought of this, a nameless fire flared up in his heart, and his eyes were dark and sullen, full of sneers and mockery, “Zoey Baker, then tell me, why are you willing to sleep with me? Is it because you have not been touched by a man for so long that you can’t hold on to it, or is it because you have no concept of sex at all, as long as it is a man!”
So, in his eyes … she is still such a casual, slutty woman?
