Sachin reached out to hold her face, the ball of his thumb gently rubbing her cheek. Deep affection welled up in his eyes.
If he could, he would rather preserve her naivety forever. He would rather keep her from knowing such filthy schemes and motives.
Rosiley raised her hand to cover his, staring deep into his eyes. She could see her sarcastic face reflected in his dark irises. “I’m not naive. I just refuse to believe that human beings are so terrible.”
But reality had hit her in the face again and again, telling her that human beings were indeed so horrible.
Sachin turned his head to look at the surgery room, gently parting his thin lips. “Rosiley, nothing is as sordid as the human heart.”
His deep voice was utterly calm, sounding vaguely like he had been through many ups and downs in life.
Nothing is as sordid as the human heart.
When she heard these words, Rosiley lifted her eyebrows almost imperceptibly. She stared intently at his cold and lean profile, with many doubts arising in her eyes. What had he really experienced in his family, to have said such words?
After that, she bowed her head and smiled self-deprecatingly. If such a foul deed could be done in a small family like the Tangs, there would surely be more in a large family like the Lus.
He must have had a hard time.
When she thought of this, she gripped his hand more firmly in hers, her heart aching.
Sachin turned around and stared deeply at her. He saw her smile slightly, her pure, pellucid eyes gleaming brightly.
“Sachin, no matter what happens in the future, I won’t betray or leave you. We will be together forever.”
Her sudden promise and declaration stunned Sachin momentarily, but he soon recovered. His thin lips lifted slightly as he pulled her forcefully into his arms.
“Rosiley, I’m very happy,” he whispered in her ear.
His low voice was mingled with infinite tenderness and affection.
Rosiley put her hands around his back and buried her face in his neck. She said gloomily, “Sachin, I’m really scared. I’m afraid Dad might leave us before seeing his good son-in-law. I’m really scared… ”
Saying that, her tears fell again.
Hot tears dripped onto the skin on the side of Sachin’s neck. He seemed scorched by them, feeling the pain.
His heart also throbbed with pain, and he tightened his arms around her.
“No, he’ll be fine. He has yet to see his daughter’s happy marriage, so he couldn’t bear to leave you.”
They embraced quietly in the silent corridor. At this moment, the door of the surgery opened.
Sachin let go of Rosiley at once and turned to look. He saw Seneca being wheeled out.
Rosiley immediately went up and asked anxiously, “Doctor, how is my father?”
The doctor took off his surgical mask and his eyes fell on Seneca on the hospital bed. His brows were deeply furrowed. “We managed to save him, but his condition has taken a turn for the worse. Originally, he could breathe with a ventilator, but now that his windpipe has been cut, the oxygen to his brain is depleted. He’s suffering from hypoxia. Even if he wakes in the future, he might suffer from brain dysfunction. You must be mentally prepared for this.”
After this, the doctor left.
Rosiley, Sachin, and the nurse wheeled Seneca back to his room.
Looking at Seneca’s increasingly pallid face, Rosiley’s heart ached, and she also blamed herself.
If it was not for her negligence, Xenia Zhao would never have had the chance to harm her father.
As soon as she thought of Xenia Zhao, Rosiley’s expression turned cold. That woman was really cruel and heartless. She could even do such a thing to a husband she had lived with for decades.
Rosiley’s outlook on life and values had completely changed.
If she had guessed right, Xenia Zhao must have risked such a vile deed for Rorey.
No matter what, she must make Xenia Zhao pay this time.
