Chapter 42 -42: He doesn’t stoop to her level
“What are you doing?”
“Mr. Sheng… Mr. Sheng, you are in great danger, I was just… trying to help you to the bed.”
Yin Hehe didn’t know where she found the courage to stammer out an explanation under the man’s deadly glare.
She really hadn’t thought it through that much.
As someone who had also donated bone marrow, she knew how critical this man’s condition was.
Yet, even after she had explained herself, the man still hadn’t moved, his eyes piercing through her in the darkness.
All soaked with loathing and hatred!
Yin Hehe: “…”
Suddenly, she too calmed down, and her hands let go decisively.
“I’m sorry, I will call the doctor for you right now.”
Then, she stood upright in the darkness, a self-mocking smile crossing her lips as she stepped toward the door of the ward.
Leaving the man still seated in that pose, his expression uglier than before for a long time.
…
Half an hour later, in the well-lit ward, the doctor finally started an IV for Sheng Siyuan.
“Mr. Sheng, you shouldn’t overexert yourself in your current condition; you need to make sure to rest.”
“Mhm.”
His agreement came out a bit stiff.
Yin Hehe stood waiting in the background. After the doctor was done, she went over to the small table to collect the now-cold meal.
“I’m somewhat hungry.”
“?”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
As Yin Hehe was about to throw away the meal, she looked up.
But she discovered that it was the dog of a man lying in the hospital bed who had spoken, the very one who had just refused to eat at all costs.
Now, he was the one requesting to eat.
Yin Hehe raised an eyebrow, and after a moment, she looked down at the food already packed in her hands…
Ten minutes later.
“It’s warmed up, Mr. Sheng. Eat,” she said, placing the reheated food in front of the man again.
She certainly wouldn’t defy him.
He was still in control of her fate after all, so if she wanted to part ways smoothly, she would have to serve him obediently for the next few days.
The man showed a visible trace of pleasure at the sight.
But soon…
“How am I supposed to eat?”
He lifted his IV-bound right hand, his tone showing a bit of annoyance.
Yin Hehe also frowned slightly.
“…Then why don’t you drink a cup of milk first, Mr. Sheng, and eat the rest after the IV is done?”
She handed him the warmed milk first.
She wasn’t going to make a fool of herself again.
The air was quiet for a few seconds, and in that moment, the man’s demeanor seemed to hint at an emerging anger.
What did it mean? Was she unwilling to serve him?
Did she forget who she was? Didn’t she know her life was still in his hands?
His face was dark.
Yin Hehe: “Mr. Sheng?”
Completely unaware of the man’s thoughts and seeing him motionless, she held out the milk in her hand and reminded him again.
In the end, prodded by her, the man took the milk with a sullen face.
Really spoiled!
Yin Hehe went off to take care of other things.
The man behind her, after downing a bottle of milk, indeed felt a significant improvement in the light-headed sensation.
“Bring the meal here,” he called out to the woman again.
“??”
Yin Hehe was very surprised.
But since he had asked, she brought over the meal that he had refused just moments ago.
“Mix it up for me, and get a spoon.”
He was terribly impatient.
Yin Hehe: “…”
It seemed he was really starving.
Without further refusal, Yin Hehe quickly prepared the meal and handed it to him.
“It’s a bit hot; please be careful,” she said.
“Mhm.”
His attitude was unexpectedly good.
Yin Hehe didn’t leave immediately, in case he had other instructions.
But after waiting a while, she didn’t get orders from this damn man to do any work. Instead, after he had a few bites, he asked her a completely irrelevant question.
“Where is your hometown?”
“Ah?”
Yin Hehe’s face changed.
“I… I’m from the Northeast,” she blurted out a place in haste.
“Northeast?”
Not good, this man actually took her seriously.
He held the spoon and methodically took a bite of food before asking again, “Where in the Northeast? Tell me, so I can inform your family.”
“No need!”
Yin Hehe was a bit panicked.
Was he really idle with nothing to do? Or was he just full? She should have starved him if she knew!
“My family… they are all gone,” she declared the death of her entire family.
In fact, it wasn’t far from the truth. Now, except for her grandmother and elder brother, everyone else might as well be dead, right?
Yin Hehe recalled the instigator behind her nearly fatal ordeal this time.
A cold glint passed through her eyes.
Sheng Siyuan also froze for a moment, probably not expecting that this woman would go as far as to fake the death of her entire Yin family to deceive him.
Then wasn’t Yin Beixiao raising a thankless wretch as well?
His eyes twitched, and he continued eating.
“Mr. Sheng, thank you. You truly are a good person.”
All of a sudden, the woman even praised him.
A good person?
Upon hearing this word, Sheng Siyuan couldn’t describe his feelings for a moment.
But when he saw her amber-colored eyes revealed outside the mask, which seemed truly sincere at this moment, he couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation.
“How so?”
“Better than Zhao Jiu. Mr. Sheng, you are my lifesaver,” Yin Hehe stated plainly and crisply.
She wasn’t lying with those words.
On that ship, if he hadn’t appeared in the nick of time, she might have well ended up dead at the hands of the scarred man.
So, at this moment, her gratitude was genuine.
The hospital room quieted down.
Perhaps her expression was too earnest, as the man started to believe her, observing her for a long time without a word.
“Mr. Sheng?”
“All right, you can go back now.”
Sheng Siyuan finally came back to his senses.
A flicker of unease crossed his eyes as he looked down at his food and casually told the woman she could go back.
He decided to be magnanimous and not hold it against her.
But upon hearing it, the woman just quietly stared at his face for a while, then her gaze went cold.
A look of deep disappointment showed on her face.
Sending her back to the hotel?
Was he starting to test her again? After tormenting her half to death during the day, was he still not satisfied?
“Mr. Sheng, didn’t you ask me to stay here 24 hours? Captain Xu canceled my hotel room.”
“I’ll have him reopen it for you.”
Sheng Siyuan replied indifferently and directly picked up the phone beside him.
Yin Hehe fell silent.
She looked at this man for a long time, then straightened up, preparing to leave.
She had been holding back for a long time this evening, all for the sake of her plan to escape successfully.
She had been enduring him all along.
But now, it seemed there was no need to anymore.
As Yin Hehe left for the last time, she picked up another bottle of milk and placed it in front of the man.
“Mr. Sheng, if you get hungry at night, have some milk,” she said.
“?”
Sheng Siyuan paused, taken aback.
For a moment, still holding the spoon, he looked at the bottle of milk in front of him, and at the woman who stood before him.
It felt like he was transported back five years.
He remembered back then, how he was tormented by illness every day, unable to eat or sleep, living a life worse than death.
Late, he discovered he could occasionally drink some milk.
Thus, each evening before going to bed, there would always be a bottle of warm milk on his nightstand.
She said, “Siyuan, if you get hungry, have some milk.”
