Pulling up the blanket, the corner of her eye caught sight of a red mark on his face, stretching from the corner of his eye downwards, like a blood-red silk thread, so eerie, so shocking.

Ye Lu’s heart jolted, pupils dilating.

Breath caught in her throat.

She remembered seeing drops of blood on the stone today, and then he said that he had cut his hand, but she had checked his hand and there were no cuts at all.

Ye Lu extended a trembling hand, and touched the drop of blood trickling from the corner of his eye with her fingertip, the bright red blood spreading across the skin of her fingertips, so shocking.

She felt dizzy, a sense of foreboding overwhelmingly present, yet still she strived to calm her emotions, bringing her finger to her nose, and immediately smelled a faint scent of blood.

Her fingers trembled, and horror and unrest in her eyes erupted in an instant.

This was blood, not some red substance, and it was flowing from his eyes, this time, she truly saw that it indeed flowed from his eyes.

Ye Lu bowed her head, her breath nearly inaudible, her gaze fixed blankly on the sleeping Third Young Master Jun, her entire being stupefied, her mind a blank.

She could not speak, nor knew what to do, as if turned to stone, sat on the ground with a pale face.

All she did was think, recalling all the details she had overlooked until now, before they reconciled recently, she had noticed the taste of blood in his mouth when he kissed her.

At that time, he said it was bleeding gums.

Later, it seemed like he had a nosebleed, and he offhandedly remarked that it was due to heat.

And the last time, when saying farewell in N Nation before coming to the Su Family area, she noticed his eyes were red and strange, with faint blood seeping out.

What did he say? He spoke nonchalantly, claiming it was injury from an explosion, burned by fireworks, and that the redness was from eyedrops, not blood.

She believed him, all along, she always believed his words.

But those details were buried, until tonight, she found out she had been deceived.

He fooled her, always deceiving her.

She hated him, how could he do this, how could he keep such important matters concealed from her.

"Jun Huang, wake up, wake up now," she shook him furiously, her eyes brimming with fury, almost crazed.

Third Young Master Jun was jolted awake by her sudden shaking, groggily waking up to see her pale face under the light, her expression filled with immense anger staring at him, leaving him taken aback.

"What’s wrong?"

Ye Lu shakily raised her blood-stained finger in front of him, loudly demanding, "What is this?"

Third Young Master Jun immediately had a very bad feeling, his face subtly changing color. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

His expression, captured in Ye Lu’s eyes, only confirmed her suspicion. Indeed, he had always hidden something from her, and her heart felt as if it had been ripped open, cold wind howling in.

"This is wiped from the corner of your eye, it’s blood, tell me, why are your eyes bleeding?"

She stared at him intently, her voice trembling, filled with fright and grief.

"Don’t give me that nonsense about eyedrops again, I won’t believe you anymore, you’ve deceived me over and over, I hate you."

Her voice gradually choked, the anger in her teary eyes fading away, replaced by boundless sorrow and pain.

Tears fell drop by drop.

Because she had a strong sense of unease, if it was merely a symptom of a common illness, why would he hide it from her, and for so long?

Hence, it must be a very serious illness.
