The Villain's Redemption-Chapter 89 Relief and Warmth

Chapter 89 Relief and Warmth

The sound of Li Yue's footsteps echoed as she paced across that small hospital corridor just outside of the emergency room. It had been three hours and yet… not one of the doctors or nurses had come out of the emergency room. What was the situation? Was he safe?

Li Yue gritted her teeth. Regret really had no medicine. No she didn't regret saying no to Mo Li, she regretted not killing Lizzy Lu when she could. She regretted letting that lunatic roam free! She hated how inexperienced she was! She could have just payed someone to kill her and no one would have known!

"Yue… please calm down. He will be fine." The mayor's wife consoled her. Aside from the mayor and his wife, there were no other family members that had come here. Not Mo Li's father or even his brother, Mo Fang.

The sound of the hospital door being opened, interrupted her thoughts. Li Yue didn't mind the strong smell of disinfectants that assaulted her senses as she ran towards the middle aged doctor. "How is he?"

"I am looking for the family.."

"I'm his fiance." Li Yue answered almost immediately. "I am his family." The doctor looked at her drenched gown and looked past her shoulders towards the mayor. Seeing the mayor and his wife approached, the doctor looked at Li Yue and started talking.

"Patient is stable. For now. The bullet hit his spine. We already did our best. There is a possibility that he won't be able to walk again. We are also not sure when he will wake up. Once the patient wakes up, we will run a couple more tests before we can tell you everything."

Li Yue nodded before she lowered her head. Mo Li might suffer for the rest of his life because of her, because he saved her useless self. Why didn't he just let her die? Once she died, everything would disappear, everything would end. This misery would end.

"Yue… why don't you go home first? We will call you once he…"

The mayor's words were interrupted when Li Yue shook her lowered head. "I'm staying here until he wakes up." He then walked towards one of the hospital benches and sat down. That's the least that she could do for him.

The mayor and his wife eyed each other before both approached her and told her that they would send her clothes so she could change and other essentials. Then the two left as they still needed to take care of looking for the culprit who had escaped.

Lizzy Lu.

Just the name was making her blood boil. Li Yue leaned against the wall and closed her exhausted eyes. She gave a mocking smile to herself. The memories of tonight would be etched in her head forever, she would make sure that it will stay in her head forever. After a few minutes, a nurse told her that they would transfer him to a private room. Li Yue just nodded and followed the nurse.

Two bodyguards were already standing by the door of the room, guarding Mo Li. When the two saw Li Yue approached, a trace of pity flashed in their eyes before one of them opened the door for her. When Li Yue walked inside the room, she couldn't stop the heaviness inside her from multiplying. She looked at the man, lying unconscious with tubes all over his body. His face was pale yet it was peaceful; serene. Li Yue immediately wondered if he would hate her once he woke up without the ability to move his legs again.

Li Yue sat on the couch and stared at Mo Li. For the first time since she arrived in this world, Li Yue felt a very uncomfortable feeling inside her chest. It was as if something sharp was lodged in the middle of her heart, even moving her limbs would make her uncomfortable. What was it?

She closed her eyes and thought about the events in the past years. Every little mistake flashed in her head, like a video on the loop, reminding herself where she went wrong. She should have just killed everyone that was not the lead and the villain. She should have just killed them without mercy! Then this wouldn't have happened.

'I want to give up.' She thought. This was the first world where she was actually serious and yet… it was already this difficult to survive. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her in the next world.

[You can't.] Suddenly a voice inside her head echoed. Li Yue nodded in response. She then let out a long sigh. She initially thought that the gods pitied her so they gave her a new lease at life. It seems that she was wrong.

It seems that the stars hated her.

Another sigh escaped her lips as she opened her eyes and looked at Mo Li's bed. Then she closed her eyes again. Succumbing to the fatigue, Li Yue didn't realize that she had fallen asleep until the door of Mo Li's room opened. It was actually the mayor's wife. She brought Li Yue some clothes so she could change. With a small smile, Li Yue accepted the clothes and changed from her gown. Then she went back and sat on the couch again, while staring at Mo Li.

And so, her routine of eating and staring at Mo Li's frame until she fell asleep started. After three long days, Mo Li finally woke up.

Seeing Li Yue sleeping next to his bed, a sly smile immediately slithered onto Mo Li's face. It seems that saving her was worth it after all. Instead of pressing the button to alert the doctors that he was already awake, Mo Li decided to spend a few more minutes looking at Li Yue's face.

After a few minutes of staring at Li Yue, the latter finally stirred awake. Li Yue jolted up and looked at Mo Li only to realize that the latter was already awake. Their gazes met. A smile full of relief and warmth could be seen on Li Yue's face as the doctors and nurses appeared.

In three days, Li Yue had finally decided what to do once he woke up.

....

I DID NOT SET UP PRIV! THIS IS AUTOMATIC AND I DIDN'T KNOW! MY GOODNESS.
