Words I Was Afraid To Hear 171 Why Did You Do It?

"We're not in that stage yet..."

A palm landed hard on Long Yun's face.

"You're in the stage that could get her pregnant but not in marrying her?! You jerk!"

Long Yun's expression was that of shock and guilt. However, it is true that their relations.h.i.+p is too young. He does not even expect Madeline Song to say 'yes' if he proposes marriage to her at this point.

Long Yis.h.i.+n shook her head as she looked at him mockingly. "You were so against my affairs back then! But at least I had the guts to fight for it! You don't even have the b.a.l.l.s to take responsibility!"

"I'm not just playing with her!"

"You're serious?! Then why did you do it without any intention of legally being with her?"

"It was just..."

"You're a jerk! I'm ashamed to even call you my brother!" she spat, as she walked away into the hospital building.

Long Yun sighed. He did not want it to be like this. If he proposes right now, he was afraid that she would decline thinking it was just the spur of the moment due to the circ.u.mstances, or it was at least based on how he knew her personality.

Long Yis.h.i.+n strode into her office with mixed emotions. She was both angry and sad, and at the same time was full of envy.

She slumped on her swivel chair and frowned. As she looked straight on her desk, she stared at the old photo framed and propped up near her pens.

She reached out to get the frame, then caressed the gla.s.s covering it.

On the photo was the younger her who was enjoying a soft serve as the guy with weird teeth took their photo.

They were young, innocent, and in love back then.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she smiled bitterly.

"Tang Jinxi, why did you do it?"

She recalled how she instinctively ruined the scene when she grabbed the stray chair and used it to come up and cut the noose with a pair of scissors she found on the bedside table. Wailing, she tried to wake up the limp and cold body before her. With her limited knowledge as a medical student, she even tried to start administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

She could still remember how cold his lips had turned when she tried to blow air into his lungs.

Those lips were once naturally pinkish, soft and warm. His warmth always comforted her in times of stress, but at that point, it hit her that he is gone.

With a serious face, Agatha Yang began her narration.

"That night, my brother will undergo a bone marrow transplant. We had failed so many times in seeking for a donor match, because even I was not. One day, a man volunteered to be tested, and he was a match. However, his mother wanted something in return. That night, they sent me to go back to City S and meet my husband. They said that I should be able to make my husband bring me to that restaurant. As to the details of why they ordered that, I had no idea at that time. My parents agreed immediately so that my brother would get the transplant. Though I was hesitant, I followed the orders and boarded the flight. While I was on the plane, an attendant handed me a parcel and told me to change my clothes. The parcel had a note from my parents telling me that I should look good when I meet my husband."

The faces around her became more serious.

"So I changed into the high neck dress with a bulky bodice area. When Maskun fetched me, I told him that I wanted to eat in that restaurant, and with no surprise, he took me. And...and that's when it happened..." she was choking on her words.

"It was a rather suspiscious order from strangers. Why did you still do it?" Xiu Jin was skeptical.

"They...they said that if I deviate from the plan, they will not give the marrow to my brother."
