Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1236 - 1214: Why Are You Protecting Me?

Ya Chen couldn’t see her actions, and his voice was cold as he ordered, "Cut the bloody clothes into pieces, throw them in the trash can, and when you go out, personally dispose of it, without letting the servants find out."

She understood his intention and hesitated for a moment, "Why, why are you protecting me? Why not take this opportunity to call the guards and have me arrested by the police, or even sent to a mental hospital? That way, you would have a reason for divorce, and no one outside would say a word against you."

He frowned, "Are you a ’why this, why that’ person? Do you think having you arrested in the police station and the mental hospital would bring me any face?"

He seemed too lazy to discuss the topic any further, turned over, and lay back down on the sofa.

Chu Xinyue said nothing more, picked up the bloody clothes, and found a paper cutter on his desk.

Following his instructions, she carefully cut it into pieces.

She then stuffed them into a disposable trash bag, rolled it into a ball, put it in her pocket, and walked towards the study’s door.

Just as she was about to open the door and leave, a cold voice sounded behind her:

"What do you intend to do now?"

Chu Xinyue paused in her steps, "I’m leaving, to throw away the clothes..."

"Leaving? I can’t walk now, if you leave, by daybreak when the guards and servants see I haven’t gone out, they’d definitely come in, and then they’d see I’m injured."

"Then what do you want to do..."

"Before my injury isn’t an issue, you’ll stay in the study to take care of me. In case the servants outside ask, you can help cover for me. By the way, you could also prepare something for me to eat and drink, you don’t intend to let me starve or die of thirst in the study, do you?"

His tone was as if she owed him, ordering her around was natural, he wouldn’t boss her if he didn’t need to.

Still, she indeed owed him.

It was because she stabbed him, that he was lying here.

She was silent for a moment, her hand slid down from the latch, and she went back.

Although his injury was just a flesh wound, to recover fully without the Royal Family’s servants suspecting, he would need at least one to two days of rest.

Did she have to stay in the study with him for these one or two days?

These years, she rarely saw him.

Even if he occasionally came home, he stayed in the study or left after a few hours.

This was the first time.

She was a bit nervous, feeling like being in a room with a stranger, took a few deep breaths to calm her mind.

...

It was late at night, perhaps because too much had happened tonight, or perhaps she relaxed after previously being tense, she felt sleepy.

There was no bed in the study, and the only sofa was occupied by the injured person.

She sat down heavily on the carpet, leaned against the back of the sofa, and closed her eyes.

She had never slept so peacefully. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Soon, she fell into a deep sleep and lost consciousness.

Perhaps it was because of the man beside her, or perhaps it was the change in environment.

Tonight, she had several fragmented dreams.

In her dreams, she returned to her childhood days.

Because of congenital heart disease, she stayed at home for years.

Watching her sister Chu Xinyu being taken to various events and dinners by their parents often, she was envious, envious to death.

But she was afraid of being pitied, so every time she insisted on maintaining her dignity, not making a fuss, quietly watching her sister and parents go out.

All she could do was obediently take her medicine, sleep on time, follow the doctor’s instructions, and try to recover, just so she could see the outside world like ordinary girls.

Finally, one day, her father said the Ya Family was holding a birthday party for the crown prince, and since her health was good recently, he would take her along.

Nobody knew how excited she was to hear she could attend the birthday party.

It was at that birthday party that she first saw Ya Chen.

The young man sat in an exquisitely handcrafted wheelchair, his features were as refined and noble as jade, with red lips, white teeth, and a cool, haughty demeanor beyond his age that made her unable to take her eyes off him from amidst the crowd.

Since then, going to the Ya Family became her dream.

Every time there was a chance, she would accompany her family.

Without a chance, she would frantically create one, even going so far as to bribe the royal guards with her allowance to sneak in.

She watched the man through the walls of the royal castle, growing up alongside him.

Year after year passed with this secret admiration, sweet and beautiful.

Scenes from her youth flashed through her dreams like a revolving lantern...

She knew he read Braille in the back garden every afternoon, so she would sneak into the castle to watch him.

The afternoon breeze ruffled the handsome young man’s dark hair, his slender, clean fingers turning the pages, gently touching the Braille book.

Yet little did he know that behind the pink walls, a pale, delicate girl was secretly watching him, showing a serene smile.

Such secret watching continued for many years.

The dream shifted.

The Ya Family intended to ally with the Chu Family, and the first person their parents thought of was naturally the healthy elder sister Chu Xinyu.

Upon hearing this news, she said nothing, but felt heart-wrenching pain for the first time in her life.

It was as if a long-treasured jewel had been forcefully taken away and no longer belonged to her.

And she, even lacked the qualification to reclaim the jewel.

After returning to her room, she wanted to cry but instead bit her lip hard, played relaxing music to unwind, and swallowed her tears, telling herself it was nothing.

This feeling of pain was as raw and real in her dreams as it was in reality, as if every bone and tendon had been scraped with a knife, painfully so.

Her sister was unwilling to marry a cripple.

Their mother brought back a girl, her half-sister.

And this sister would soon replace Chu Xinyu as Jiayi.

Every girl in the world had a chance to marry him, except for her.

In her dream, she returned to the castle to see him again.

In the garden.

She saw him accidentally step into a deep pool, without thinking, disregarding the punishment of being discovered, she rescued him and hurriedly left.

Swimming could enhance cardiopulmonary function, one of the few exercises the doctor permitted her.

She had learned to swim in the pool at home.

On the wet way back, she almost fainted from exhaustion, got up, and continued walking.

By fate’s trick, he mistook the girl who saved him for Jiayi.

At the Ya Family’s banquet, Jiayi, who had been missing for a year, was found and brought back from China.

Watching his confession to Jiayi, once again she felt her organs being burned.

In her dream, she relived this torture, watching from afar as he mistook another girl for his angel.

Crystal tears burst out, the whole sky was covered with dark clouds.

She wanted to rush out and tell him, "Ya Chen, the one who saved you was me."

But dignity stopped her.

She had already loved humbly for so many years, how much more humility was needed?
