Chapter 7

Author: Nightless Peace
"Then, I'll bring him here. You can deal with him however you want." Shaun held her hand and thought that he had a chance to win back her forgiveness. He badly wanted to bring the man over immediately.

"No need. I'll go over there myself."

She slowly got to her feet, cradling the wound that still throbbed with pain. Even so, she walked out on determined feet. Shaun wanted to support her, but she pushed him away.

She reached Ninian's ward and opened the door.

Shaun had yet to realize what was going on, but Ninian felt so guilty that she could not say a word when she saw Lily.

Lily walked straight to her and slapped her in the face.

"What are you doing?!" Ninian glared at her.

Lily did not respond and slapped her again.

"What are you doing, Lily?! Ninian's still hurt!"

Shaun shoved her away, and Lily's wound tore open. Blood slowly began to seep through her hospital gown.

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she leaned against the wall to remain standing. "Didn't you say you would avenge me?"

"What do you mean?" Shaun frowned.

Lily sneered and glared at Ninian. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? If you hadn't lied to that man and said that I had withheld the medical equipment, would he have attacked me?

"Who was the real culprit? Who was really responsible for that man’s son dying?!"

She remembered what had happened. The pain of the the knife slowly sinking into her abdomen was still fresh in her mind. Ninian was hurt, but so was she.

If it were not for Ninian, she would not have ended up like this.

"I was just too scared. I've never seen something like that in the mountains." Ninian sat on the bed with a pale face.

Lily stared at her and said mockingly, "Didn't you say that you chop wood and boil water every day? You said that you run into wild animals every day, too, didn't you? I also seem to recall that you often get hurt in the mountains.

"Weren't those wounds painful? Are you really telling me you were scared of something like this? Does being frightened give you the right to shift the blame onto someone else?"

Ninian flinched at Lily’s shouting. Her eyes reddened and teared up. "I really didn't do it on purpose. Besides, he went for you in the first place. I'm the innocent one here."

"That's enough!" Shaun shouted.

Lily met his gaze. His eyes had been filled with love for her in the past, but there were only mixed emotions in them presently.

"Lily, Ninian's younger than you. Obviously, there will be things she doesn’t handle well. Don't hold it against her."

His words pierced Lily’s heart.

Her wound hurt more with every passing second. As Lily cradled her bleeding wound, she laughed. "I knew it!"

"Let’s leave the matter here. You're both injured, so you should go back and rest," Shaun said softly to her.

Lily turned around and left. At that point, much of her hospital gown was stained red, but Shaun did not even notice it. As she turned away, disappointment and sorrow filled her once-bright eyes.

As she opened the door to leave, she stumbled in pain. It was hard to continue walking, so she leaned against the wall for support.

Behind her, she heard their voices.

"I really didn't do it on purpose. If she doesn't like me, I'll just go back."

"What on earth are you saying? I promised that once I brought you back, I would make sure you could live a good life here. Don't worry. I'm here. No one can mistreat you."

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"Because you're the most special person to me."

Lily slumped down on the floor. Blood had soaked through her clothes, and tears spilled uncontrollably from her eyes.

    Lewis lowered his head, at a loss for words.Then, he looked up and met Lily's eyes. ”Could you… not leave?”Lily was amused by his reaction, and she smiled. ”Do you like me, Lewis?””Yes! I like you a lot. I've liked you ever since I saved you. I like your resilience, your kindness, and your courage. ”But I never had the courage to tell you how I felt. I was afraid that if I confessed, you'd leave me, and we wouldn't even be able to remain friends.”Lily stared into his eyes. ”Lewis, you're a good person. We've spent so much time together these past few days. When I fell into that hole yesterday, you were the first person I thought of. I think I like you too.”The dejection in Lewis's eyes vanished.He hugged Lily tightly, as though she were the most precious treasure in the world.They were just one door apart. One man was delighted, while the other was devastated. After the accident, Shaun decided to leave and return to the country. Before he left, he went to visit Li

    ”He went back,” Lewis said hesitantly. ”Don't lie to me, Lewis. I know that he saved me.”Lily heard everything in her semi-unconscious state. Lewis did not hide it from her.After taking her to the hospital, he immediately joined the others in returning to rescue Shaun.By then, Shaun was heavily injured and was lying in a pool of his own blood.He had been sent to the emergency room. After more than ten hours, Shaun was finally out of danger. However, he had not woken up. The doctor had warned them that he might never wake up if he remained trapped in his unconscious state for too long. Lily's heart sank. ”Let me see him.”This time, when she met him, she held no love for him, only gratitude. She could no longer accept Shaun in her life, but she was not going to forget the fact that he saved her. When Lily walked into his ward, Shaun was still unconscious. He had an oxygen mask on, and his pale face was pale and completely drained of color. ”Aren't you supposed

    Shaun had no way to carry her out by himself.”Somebody, help!”At that moment, he heard a familiar voice calling out for Lily. ”We're here! Down here!”Someone suddenly appeared at the edge of the hole. It was Lewis.”Lily fainted! Get her out of here! Take her somewhere safe!””What about you?”Shaun could feel the pain in his ankle. ”I don't think I can get out, but I don't want anything happening to Lily.”With the last bit of his strength, he lifted Lily, and Lewis grabbed her. The rain grew even heavier, and Shaun felt himself grow weaker. He had only just recovered from his fever, but he did not think he could make it this time. ”Shaun!”Lewis was not in a hurry to leave. ”We'll leave together. I'll get both of you out.”Rainwater trickled down Shaun's face, and a drop rested on the tip of his nose. He gave Lewis a bitter smile and shook his head. ”I can hang on for a little longer. Leave with her first. Lily doesn't seem to be in good condition. ”I did plen

    Shaun stayed in the disaster prevention center. He went door to door to deliver supplies. Whenever he reached Lily's house, he would light up a cigarette and stand outside for a long time. He had not seen her over the past few days, but it was enough for him just to be able to see her from a distance. The typhoon arrived two days later than predicted, descending upon Pravance without warning on what had been an otherwise peaceful day.Everyone hurried back inside their homes to avoid the disaster. Shaun stared at the dark sky. The rain grew heavier by the second. Within moments, the downpour became so dense that it looked as though countless threads stretched from the heavens to the earth.All he could think about was Lily.Would Lily be scared because of the horrible weather?She had always been timid. He remembered how, in the past, even the rumble of thunder was enough to make her hide in his arms, covering her ears as she clung to him. But it had been a long time sinc

    Standing behind her was his eighteen-year-old self. He was holding a bouquet of flowers and looking at her with pity.”Don't forgive him. Just keep moving forward.”When Shaun's fever broke, he felt lighter, but the fleeting dream had affected him greatly.He simply could not let Lily go. He did not want to lose her, even if she already had someone new by her side and no longer loved him.All he wanted was just for her to be beside him again. At that moment, he came to a stark realization.Lily had hated Ninian the most. If he made everything clear to her, she would definitely have a change of heart. He refused to believe that she had really married that man.Shaun returned to the fragrance shop and saw Lily taking a nap in her chair, even though she was usually busy.The wind blew through her hair, and the sunlight made her side profile look even gentler.Shaun's heart skipped a beat. The wind chimes woke her up. When she saw him, she frowned. ”Have I not made myself cle

    ”What the hell are you doing?!”Lewis lifted his fist. ”Hit you! Didn't I tell you to stop bothering her? You're the one who drove her away. How do you have the nerve to make her life difficult again?!”Shaun did not back down this time. He threw himself into a fight with Lewis. They hit each other. Since they were about similar height and size, they were tied.”What are you doing?!” Lily shouted, and the two men stopped fighting momentarily.Shaun looked up and saw Lily's familiar face. ”Lily…””Let go of Lewis!” Her angry voice made Shaun stop. A part of Lewis' face was swollen, but he shielded Lily with resolve. ”Don't touch her. Don't harass her again, or I'll beat you up the moment you appear here.”Shaun gritted his teeth. ”Who the hell do you think you are?!””Mr. Stone, I don't think you have the right to ask that here,” said Lily. ”I told you to leave me alone, but you keep harassing me. I don't want anything from you. ”Your love is worth nothing anymore. We'r
