Qiao Xuan stared at him blankly, unable to say a single word.

She knew that Sheng Liang had always been living her own life, step by step. If one day he finally got what she wanted, her heart would be even emptier.

However, did he really recognize her? Was he sure it wasn't because he needed a substitute that he chose her?

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Sheng Liang used one hand to hold her face, and slowly kissed the trace of red on the side of her lips. "I will use my remaining life to prove my feelings for you, as long as you give me a chance, give me a chance to make up for the mistakes I made, okay?"

Qiao Xuan's lips trembled slightly, and her fingers anxiously grabbed onto the corner of her clothes. Perhaps it was because she had believed and been disappointed too many times, and therefore, her heart had almost become numb. She did not dare easily agree, because she knew that she would not be able to endure another round of disappointment.

She was stunned for a long while, until she saw Sheng Liang's body sliding down the wall.

Sheng Liang sat on the ground and leaned his back against the wall. A corner of his coat was opened when it slid down, and Qiao Xuan saw that his shirt was completely drenched in blood.

It was impossible to change the gauze here. Qiao Xuan could only find a sheet inside and tear it into strips, then use it as bandages to wrap Sheng Liang up.

"Tighten up." Sheng Liang saw that she was entangled and crying at the same time. He extended his hands out to help her wipe them away, but he didn't have much strength left in his arms, so he was afraid that she would worry so he gave up.

"You said it before, as long as you're alive, you'll definitely protect me," Qiao Xuan no longer dared to look at his expression. Just hearing his voice made her heart ache to death, "You won't go back on your words, right?"

"Nope." Sheng Liang felt that his body was already numb, although Qiao Xuan had used a lot of strength, he could not feel any pain, he only felt that his body had become colder and colder, "I haven't even waited for you to forgive me."

Qiao Xuan held back her tears and tied the knot one last time, raising her head to look at his pale face, she was extremely afraid, "If you die, you will never think of getting my forgiveness."

"Yes." He looked at Qiao Xuan and said, "Is your phone still there? Call Luo Jie, he should be nearby, before I came, I've already told the police, the police should be here soon, you'll be fine."

What he said was that she would be fine, but what about him? Was he planning to give up?

Sheng Liang, I don't hate you anymore, I have forgiven you. Didn't you say that you want to start over with me, when we leave this place, we will be together again. You owe me a child, I want you to return it to me! She grabbed Sheng Liang's hand. His hand was so cold, she kept rubbing it for him, she was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to feel the temperature in the next second.

A smile surfaced on Sheng Liang's lips, but that smile was so faint that it seemed as if it could disappear at any moment: "That child from before, I buried her under our Begonia tree. The doctor said that it was a girl, so I gave her a name, Midsummer."

Qiao Xuan's heart trembled. She didn't know that Sheng Liang had actually done these things, that the place he said he would take her to, was to see their child?

She had always thought that he wouldn't like the child, so from beginning to end, she hadn't told him about his pregnancy.

She had done wrong, she should have told him, he was the father of the child, he had a right to know.

Qiao Xuan's tears rolled down, she hugged Sheng Liang, and kept apologizing.

A hubbub of noise came from outside the door, as if a lot of people had gathered outside. They couldn't wait to get their keys to open the door, so they all tried their best to break it open.

Qiao Xuan looked down at Sheng Liang, only to see that he had fainted.

The more it got to this point, the calmer Qiao Xuan became. All he could think of was to take Sheng Liang out of his seat belt.

Sheng Liang understood Luo Jie, and knew that he would definitely find his way here. Qiao Xuan quickly sent the room number to Luo Jie, then grabbed Sheng Liang's arm and pulled him up, then walked towards the side of the room.

All of Sheng Liang's weight was on Qiao Xuan's body, and because Qiao Xuan cared about his injuries, he did not dare to move him too much, so every step they took was exceptionally difficult.

Qiao Xuan was also startled for a moment, and then she heard her phone ringing. She thought that Luo Jie had rushed over, so she immediately pulled out her phone to take a look, only to see that the number displayed on the screen was Senior's.

He was determining her position.

Qiao Xuan placed Sheng Liang on the ground and let him lean against the bed. After confirming that he would not fall down, she quickly went outside and saw a few snacks that were prepared by the hotel for guests on the wine shelves. She immediately came up with an idea.

She went over and unwrapped all the snacks. She took out a small paper packet containing the desiccant, then unscrewed the two bottles of mineral water beside her. She placed the small paper bag inside, screwed up the lid, and carefully laid it on the floor in front of the door.

She didn't know if that would buy her time, but at least it was better than doing nothing.

After doing all this, she walked back to Sheng Liang's side. Seeing that he didn't seem to be breathing, her heart unconsciously thumped for a moment, her fingers trembling slightly as if she wanted to probe for his breathing. When her fingers reached halfway, she was grabbed by him, "I'm not dead yet."

Seeing him open his eyes, Qiao Xuan was pleasantly surprised: "Sheng Liang."

Looking at her worried expression, Sheng Liang caressed her hair and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a bit sleepy."

Qiao Xuan knew that this was probably related to her losing too much blood and that she would cause people to feel sleepy. She shook his hand and said: "Sheng Liang, don't sleep.

"Don't be afraid, everything will be fine." Sheng Liang tried his best to stay alert, "Didn't you do well just now?"

Qiao Xuan was afraid that she would fall asleep and not be able to wake up, so he tried his best to speak to her, "You saw it all?"

"Yes." Sheng Liang turned his eyes away and saw that the phone that she had thrown to the side had already been turned off. The sound had already been turned off, but the screen was still lit up.

The name on it, was Senior.

Senior still hadn't rushed in even now, it definitely wasn't because he couldn't open the door, but he was deliberately wasting time. He was waiting for his blood to run out, waiting for Qiao Xuan to compromise due to his excessive fear.

He had calculated that the hotel would not report this to the police because they were afraid that it would affect them badly. The entrance was also blocked, so there was no way for them to escape. Thus, he was confident.

But Senior, had always been ruined by his arrogance.

He thought that since he was injured and tied up, and there were guards outside, he definitely wouldn't be able to leave. In reality, he was only waiting for an opportunity.

It was just that, when Senior's people thought that he did not understand German, and was discussing Qiao Xuan going to find Senior, he finally knew what had happened.
