Chapter 259
An Ruo suddenly remembered An Xin’s presence, and she pushed Tang Yuchen away slightly, her eyes flickering as she said to him, “An Xin has been injured a bit, please take us to the hospital first.”
“I’m fine!” protested An Xin hastily, realizing her own excessive emotion, she added in a softer voice, “I just got a bit injured, it’s nothing serious compared to An Ruo’s, so I don’t need to go to the hospital.”
“But…” An Ruo, concerned, was about to say something else, when An Xin forced a smile and said, “I’m really fine, I just want to find a place to sleep.”
Tang Yuchen glanced at the woman inside the car and said indifferently, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back first.”
An Xin spoke with difficulty, “Could you take me to a hotel? I don’t want… to go home, I don’t want my family to see me like this.”
Both of their faces were swollen and battered, a sight indeed not suitable for others to see.
Remembering her promise to An Xin, An Ruo told Tang Yuchen, “Take us to a hotel, please.”
Tang Yuchen didn’t notice she used “us” instead of “her.” He nodded, and An Ruo, supporting An Xin, got out of the car, and both of them got into his car.
Sitting in the back seat with An Xin, An Ruo gripped her hand tightly, filling with immense guilt.
She had suspected that all of this was An Xin’s plot, but now she had no more doubts.
No one would design their own downfall.
If An Xin hadn’t kicked the car door that time, she would have shared An Ruo’s fate.
Had she not helped her into the car, perhaps the victim would have been her.
If it hadn’t been for saving her, she wouldn’t have offended those three people, nor would she have…
An Ruo felt so guilty, so uncomfortable.
Her heart was tightly clenched, hurting so much she could barely breathe.
Although An Xin’s misfortune wasn’t her fault, she couldn’t simply absolve herself, and subconsciously believed that everything was her fault.
Silent tears streamed down An Xin’s face as she leaned on An Ruo’s shoulder. Suddenly, a droplet fell on her neck, followed by another, and a string of tears wet An Ruo’s clothes.
An Ruo raised her hand to embrace An Xin’s shoulders, biting her lip to restrain the choking sound in her throat.
Sis, it’s all going to be okay, everything will be fine…
She dared not speak these words, fearing that Yuchen might get suspicious, so she could only say them silently in her heart.
Yuchen found them a decent hotel, and An Ruo, supporting An Xin, went to their room, while he waited downstairs.
The first thing An Xin did upon entering the hotel was take a bath, and she hadn’t come out even after an hour. An Ruo, waiting anxiously outside, feared she might do something foolish.
“Sis, are you okay?” she knocked on the door, asking with concern.
An Xin didn’t respond, which made her even more worried and frantic, “Sis, answer me, are you okay? Sis, please talk!”
No matter how much she knocked, there was no answer from inside.
An Ruo forcefully started to ram the door and after several attempts, the door flew open. She saw An Xin fully submerged in the bathtub, motionless.
“Sis!” she yelled, her face turning pale with fear, quickly pulling her out of the water. An Xin coughed up water, coughing violently as she lay over the bathtub, taking deep breaths.
An Ruo grabbed a towel to wrap around her, her voice breaking as she held her close, “Sis, I know you’re hurting, if you’re in pain, just cry it out. Please don’t do anything stupid, believe me, everything will pass, everything will be okay!”
An Xin’s gaze was hollow, and she said with a weak smile, “An Ruo, I really want to die, but I’m afraid of the pain… what should I do? How can I die without pain?”
