Chapter 624 - You Killed Someone

Chapter 624 You Killed Someone

Chu Lui rubbed his brows and placed the laptop on his lap onto the table before heaving a sigh. At this time, the sky was already starting to brighten outside. Thankfully, it was the weekends the next day; and he did not need to go to work. If not —with his current mental state, he would definitely not be able to handle a day of work at the office.

He lay down and kept tossing and turning. He was really tired, but he could not fall asleep.

He took out something from his neck. It was the safety amulet he carried around when he was young; he had lost it for more than twenty years, and now he had found it again. However, the bride he wanted to marry when he was young could not come back anymore.

“I want to eat butter shortbread that you make.” Gao Yi turned over and placed his hand on Bai Luoyin’s shoulders. He did not have it in a long time, and the corner of his lips was facing outwards as he reminisced the past. “I remember the butter shortbread you made that time was really good. So many years have passed, but I still remember the taste of it. The best-tasting one is still the one made by you.”

Bai Luoyin was elated, and excitement was written all over her face. “Okay, I’ll make it for you now.” She threw her bag down and ran towards the kitchen to prepare her signature butter shortbread for Gao Yi.

She did not know how to make anything else but butter shortbread as she had learned it from a famous chef, and it was very traditional. Back then, it was precisely because Gao Yi liked to eat it so she went to learn. Now that he remembered it, he must have remembered their past, their beginning,

She was thrilled and surprised to the point where she almost cried tears of joy.

However, she did not know that Gao Yi’s smile dropped to a frown instantly after she turned her back.

He hated her with all his guts, and his heart was dead.

Walking into their bridal room and seeing their wedding photo on the wall was the biggest mockery to him. Actually, he had already resigned to his fate, but why? Why did she do this to him?

Suddenly, he held his arm really tightly. It started to hurt, but it was not as painful as his heartache and his hatred.

Putting his hand down, he walked to the cupboard and pulled open the drawers one by one, searching them individually... until he reached one that could not be opened. It was locked.

He turned around and opened the neighboring drawer. Bai Luoyin knew his habits, and he also knew Bai Luoyin’s.

The drawer opened, and he stuck his hand in. After searching for a long time, he suddenly felt a key.

‘Ka!’ The locked drawer was opened, and the items inside were exposed to air. He put on a pair of gloves and took the box out to examine it. There was some medicine in it with a syringe. One by one, he picked up the medicine to smell it.

Superb sleeping pills. He shook the bottle; the skills needed to make this medicine were of a certain level, and it was done by Bai Luoyin. Since she had the talent to make such drugs, why did she not become a pharmacist? She could have become the best pharmacist in the country.

He took out something else with substantial amounts in it. This was drugs.

He placed the medicine back to its original spot and locked the drawer before removing the key and throwing it into the neighboring drawer. He also took off his gloves and threw it into the dustbin.

After a while, Bai Luoyin came into the room with two plates.

“Yi, look. This is the butter shortbread I made. Your favorite!”

Gao Yi took a piece and ate it within a few bites, but an upset expression could still be seen written on his face.

“That’s right, it’s my favorite butter shortbread. I can finally eat it today! Can I still eat it in the future though?”

“Of course!” Bai Luoyin sat down and rested her head on his shoulders. “Whenever you want to eat it, I’ll make it for you. I’ll make you butter shortbread for the rest of your life.”

“Okay,” replied Gao Yi, but not a hint of a smile could be seen from his eyes.

His whole life? It was impossible.

At night, Bai Luoyin administered the drug on Gao Yi once again. She had controlled the quantity of the drug all along, not too much and not too little. Within a short span of time, Gao Yi would not feel that there was anything weird. After another month, he would be hers entirely. He would only like her and love her.

However, it seemed as if that thing was running out. Her eyes widened as she remembered she probably needed to buy some more.

Bai Luoyin gave Gao Yi tons of work again. Based on Gao Yi’s personality, he would not rest until he was done with the work so he would be stuck here the whole day.

“Yi, I have an appointment with my friend. I’ll come back later,” said Bai Luoyin as she lowered her head to kiss Gao Yi on his cheeks. “You must wait for me to come back.”

“Okay,” replied Gao Yi. “There’s a lot of work to do today so I might do it until nightfall.”

“I know.” Bai Luoyin arranged her attire before walking out in her heels.

When Bai Luoyin returned, it was already afternoon. Gao Yi was squinting and seemed extremely uncomfortable.

“Yi, what’s wrong?” Bai Luoyin was worried when he saw him like that. She wondered if his drug addiction had kicked in, but it was not possible as she had already injected the drug into him the day before. However, Gao Yi looked just like a drug addict at that time.

“I feel a bit weird.” Gao Yi stood up, and his body shook. “Luoyin, take me to the hospital.” After he was done talking, his head rested on Bai Luoyin’s shoulders, with his brows slightly creased inwards and his face pale as a sheet.

“Rest first. I’ll call for the doctor.” Bai Luoyin hurriedly brought him towards the bedroom.

“Let’s just got directly so we don’t trouble anyone.” Gao Yi opened his eyes wide and insisted on heading to the hospital. “I am a doctor, trust me.”

Bai Luoyin’s body stiffened, but she still helped Gao Yi up the bed.

“To the hospital.” Gao Yi rubbed his brows and looked like he was in excruciating pain.

“Okay, we’ll go to the hospital,” agreed Bai Luoyin. Of course, she could not go. She opened the drawer and took out a bunch of keys and used them to open the other drawer and take the box out.

Then, she repeated the same actions she had done countless times.

However, when she took out the needle and was about to jab Gao Yi, she heard a cry from the room. Her hand shook, and the needle jabbed Gao Yi’s arms. She herself was shocked beyond words and froze.

At this moment, the closed fireplace suddenly opened and out ran a child who was running and yelling, “Someone got killed! Someone got killed!”

“No...” Bai Luoyin wanted to stop, but it was already too late. She wanted to chase, but in her hurry, she started to limp. There was pain coming from her ankle.
