The Beauty's Comeback! What My Wife Says Goes 27 Chapter 27- What Happened?

*Knocks*

Zhi Wei quickly wiped his eyes before clearing his throat and said "Come in"

Chen Mu delivered the herb medicine that smelled extremely bitter and looked as dark as black ink. "You need to find a way for her to consume the medicine or else it won't be effective."

Zhi Wei nodded as he lifted her up and positioned himself so that he can support her body using his. He blowed on the medicine until it is warm and won't burn her lips. The problem is that no matter how they opened her mouth and poured medicine in, it flowed back out. She doesn't know how to swallow the medicine...

... Zhi Wei quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed a pillow from the side of the bed and arranged it behind s.h.i.+ Xue so that she could lean against the bed. He took the bowl of medicine that had been cooled down and took out the spoon. He took a deep breath and then a mouthful of the nauseating medicine that was extremely bitter. Slowly, but surely, he fed the medicine to s.h.i.+ Xue mouth to mouth. Though the medicine is very nauseating to even smell, he didn't hesitate and quickly took action making sure she swallowed each mouthful that he poured in.

After he finished feeding her the bowl of medicine, he wiped her mouth before his own. He let her remain in the sitting posture for a while before laying her flat on the bed to make sure the medicine digested.

Chen Mu took the emptied bowl and left the two of them alone. After witnessing this scene, he understood how important this girl is to him. The cold devil who doesn't blink once when others died right in front of him is now caring for a girl to this extent. Sigh.. he shook his head helplessly as he focused on preparing the next patch of medicine.

Right when he reached the stairs on his way to the kitchen, he noticed a bead and some oil stains on the edge of the staircase on some of the steps. He knelt down and carefully inspected the stairs.

...Somebody purposely poured beads and oil on the stairs.. so that means, this isn't an accident. There might be a mole within the household.. s.h.i.+T!! Chen Mu said to himself as he rushed back to the room.

He rushed into the room and showed the bead in his hands to Zhi Hei as he panted heavily.

Zhi Hei looked at him with his left eyebrow raised, "Why are you showing me a bead?"

Chen Mu who was still catching his breath said in broken words: "Beads..oil.. stairs... "

Zhi Hei's eyes widened and said "YOU ..You don't mean that... her falling down those stairs wasn't an accident..?"

Chen Mu quickly covered his mouth and then took a glance to the hall making sure there wasn't anybody eavesdropping. He closed the door and nodded.

"I found the remains of oil by the edges of some steps and this bead was also there. There might be a mole in the family so you must watch your actions and words!" he said in a serious and low tone that only the two of them could hear.

Zhi Hei's fist clenched and his nails dug into his flesh creating deep purple marks on his palm.

"How..dare they.. I will find this person and whoever is involved and skin them alive!!" he squinted his eyes.

"The most important thing right now is to protect s.h.i.+ Xue and not let anyone harm her. From this moment on, only feed her the things I bring to you just in case! I will personally deliver the food and medicine to you, don't worry. Just stay by her side and we can keep watch of her together. "

Zhi Hei nodded and continued to hold her hands in his.

"I'll head downstairs to prepare her next patch of medicine. I'll see you when the medicine is ready."

*Door closes*

His hands tightened around her hand and he continued speaking to her.

"s.h.i.+ Xue, don't worry, I'll stay with you.. until you wake up and tell me what happened..how did you fall down the stairs.. were you pushed down? Why were you near the stairs?" he sighed deeply as his heart was filled with regret and he held his forehead on her hands. When he lifted his head back up, he smelled the pleasant scent of Sweet Alyssum and relaxed a little.

"Xue... Let me begin our deal and tell you all my feelings. After this.. please fulfill your part and wake up" he helplessly smiled at her sleeping face.

"You asked me before how we met and the things that happened between us, but I never told you anything because I believed that you'll remember one day. Even so, I thought it'll be fine if you don't remember since we can always make new ones. As long as I remember and cherish these memories of ours, it's enough. Now, let me tell you from how we first met."

he leaned back on his chair before continuing:

"We first met at a business party. I was only there because business partners and other leaders of the field partic.i.p.ated. That night, I found a precious treasure, you. You were wearing minimal makeup and a simple red dress with flower embroiders and a layered cutting dress. You stood out from the crowd even though you were just standing there watching your boyfriend and cousin hooked up representing s.h.i.+ Corps. I've never seen any woman like you, beautiful and elegant without a trace of greed in your eyes. Even when your cousin tried to cause you trouble, you kept quiet. But when I heard some guy near me talking about taking you for himself, my body moved unconsciously. When I realized it, I was already in front of you and taking you into my embrace. I only knew at that moment, I really wanted to protect you. We were both uninterested in socializing with others instead focused on the dazzling night sky. Your eyes were twinkling and your smile was the most beautiful one I've ever seen. Perhaps, I fell for you the first glance I had of you, or when you smiled at me warmly so genuinely. Or I had already fallen in love with you unconsciously since the very very beginning." he closed his eyes as if it were yesterday that they met.

"The next multiple meetings, you were always gorgeous and angelic looking. You always smiled at me warmly and each time we met by coincidence, my eyes were glued to you. You never failed to capture my attention no matter where and when. You're always caring towards the people in your surrounding especially those you consider as your friends. I remember getting a paper cut and only you noticed. You even sanitized and bandaged the paper cut for me.You probably didn't know, but watching you carefully sanitize my small cut and blowing on the wound made me want to hug you. After you put on the bandaid for me, you looked at me with a bright smile and told me to not underestimate a paper cut. At that moment I really wanted to laugh and respond that if.. getting one paper cut would draw more of your attention and time on me then no matter how many aper cuts I receive, it'll be worth it.." his voice became shaky and his eyes heated up as he looked towards the ceiling.
