I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 182 Because of you

Chapter 182 Because of you

Everyone inside the room watched Luo Xiaolei as she broke down. She dropped down on her knees, clenching her shirt on top of her chest.

She felt an excruciating pain in her heart. She didn’t know why but she felt that Yang Jin may not have told her the whole truth about what he just said and she didn’t know why the pain she was feeling was this extreme. Yu Chen just fell into a coma; he wasn’t dead and he would surely wake up, so why was her heart felt like it was being ripped apart? Why was this pain so unbearable? She didn’t know why but her heart was reacting as though Yu Chen would never wake up again.

"Miss Luo," Yang Jin was worried as he crouched down and gently patted her shoulder. "Are you okay?"

He could see that there were no tears in her eyes but she looked like she couldn’t breathe. "Miss," he called out again, panicking.

"Dr. Yang, tell me... Yu Chen will wake up soon, right? Right?" she asked. Her voice was weak, desperate and helpless as she looked at him. She wanted reassurance. She wanted to hear that he was fine and that he would definitely wake up.

Yang Jin could see the agony in her eyes. He had decided not to tell her the hopeless details of Yu Chen’s situation but why was she reacting like she already knew?

Yu Chen’s situation was dire. There was a possibility that he wouldn’t wake up again. He had suffered from a lot of internal bleeding, most especially in his head. This was always the danger of his condition. Excessive bleeding in every part of his body could occur no matter how minor the cause may have been.

But Yang Jin nodded at her. "He will," he sounded very hopeful and his words somehow made Luo Xiaolei calm down. Truth was that, Yang Jin was surprised by her reaction. He knew that Luo Xiaolei wasn’t in love with Yu Chen when she first set foot in Scarlet Hill but the way she was reacting right now... when did this girl start to care so much for Yu Chen? Why did she look like she would break apart if he told her that Yu Chen probably won’t wake up again?

The atmosphere somehow loosened up as the girl slowly stood up. Hope began to fill her eyes so intensely, as if she had already decided to believe in the one and only truth – that Yu Chen will definitely wake up.

The men soon left Luo Xiaolei inside the room.

Holding his hand as she watched his peaceful, harmless sleeping face, Luo Xiaolei’s face was very solemn. She didn’t say a thing and just stared at him.

The memories that came back to her last night flashed like movie in her head again. She felt like crying as she remembered everything. Gladly, someone entered the room before her emotions swallowed her again.

She turned and when she saw Kyuu and Juu standing there holding a tray of food, Luo Xiaolei slowly stood up and then she rushed towards them and hugged them.

Even though these two rarely talked to her when she was a child, they were her friends. They were always around Yu Chen even though they were hiding from her view most of the time but she knew they were the most loyal people to Yu Chen.

"Nine... Ten..." she uttered as she teared up, her grip on them tightened. When she finally pulled away, the men were looking at her in utter surprise.

"You..." Kyuu was in shock and disbelief. "You finally remember us?"

Luo Xiaolei nodded. Her tears wouldn’t stop falling as she looked at them but Kyuu’s face turned slightly dark as he looked at her, as if the resentment hidden in his eyes were finally being pulled to the surface. She had felt it before, that first time she saw him during the time she was kidnapped – that deep within Kyuu’s eyes, he hated her.

Juu, who was calmly standing there, held Kyuu’s arm, as if he was silently telling him to calm down.

Kyuu took a deep breath, to calm himself down, before he looked at her again.

"Tell me, why did you forget Chen?" he asked, his voice as cold. "Why did you leave him?!" he was struggling to use a lighter tone, even though the fury in his eyes was not subsiding at all.

Luo Xiaolei was shocked and confused.

"Huh? What do you mean by leaving Yu Chen? I didn’t leave him. You guys are the ones who left. He left me!" Xiaolei replied and the men looked at each other.

But then, Kyuu gritted his teeth. His jaws clenched as he raised his hand towards Luo Xiaolei.

His rage made Luo Xiaolei flinch, but Juu quickly caught Kyuu’s hand, stopping him.

"Don’t... hurt her." Luo Xiaolei finally heard Juu’s voice. She didn’t know that his voice was this beautiful because he never talked at all even back then.

"This woman, I hate her... I knew she would hurt Chen again." Kyuu was not calming down. His tone was getting more and more menacing and Luo Xiaolei felt his immense hatred. His words were confusing her to her bones.

"Did you know how much Chen suffered because of you?!" Kyuu continued as Juu remained standing between them, making sure that Kyuu could not reach her even if he lost control. "He waited for you but what did you do? You just suddenly acted like he didn’t exist anymore. You even left just like that, without saying a word! It’s your fault that he’s like this now!"

"What do you mean he waited for me? The day before my grandfather took me away, I returned to the forest. I looked for him, running in the forest like mad but you guys weren’t there! I called out for him until my voice was gone but big gray was the only one who was there. I didn’t stop looking for him until I fell down a slope." She explained and Kyuu’s eyes widened in surprise.
