Hearing her words, Yin Huan's heart was in a complete mess. Something spread from his boiling blood and converged at the tip of his heart.
His chest was so hot that he hardly dared to breathe. He could only struggle helplessly and futilely to contain it, fearing that Savel might notice.
His mind was in turmoil as he thought sadly, "Silly girl, you're a princess, but I can no longer raise my weapon to defend you."
The girl's soft voice was as crisp as a silver bell, rippling in Yin Huan's heart.
"Brother Knight, don't be afraid. Now it's the princess's turn to protect you. No matter what, even if it means death, I'll definitely stay with you. I won't let you walk the last part of the way alone. But brother, don't walk too fast. Wait for me."
As Savel murmured her thoughts to herself, the last sentence set off alarm bells in Yin Huan's mind, who was pretending to be asleep. All his previous joy was washed away, leaving only a sense of dread.
"No, she has a bright future ahead of her. She can't be ruined because of me."
After Savel left, Yin Huan opened his eyes and secretly made a decision.
He couldn't keep dragging Savel down.
Yin Huan knew that he couldn't linger in the present tenderness any longer. He had to harden his heart and drive Savel away to live her own life.
Without him, she would have more time to be with her classmates and enjoy her campus days.
Rather than wasting all her spare time and youth in this hospital.
It wasn't worth it for her to even risk her life for him.
Yin Huan's eyes were extremely tired. He sat on the bed listlessly all night without moving, having not slept at all.
When dawn was just breaking, Yin Huan finally made a move. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
It was the person he hadn't contacted since he was hospitalized, but also the closest person to him, Yin Xiwen.
"Beep ------- beep -------"
It took a long time for the call to connect.
Neither of them spoke. All they could hear was each other's breathing.
Yin Huan finally spoke. His voice was hoarse after staying up all night. "Can you do me a favor? This is my last wish before I die."
"--- Help me drive Savel away."
There was no sound from the other end of the phone, but neither of them hung up. Finally, a voice came through. "Okay."
After getting a positive answer, Yin Huan hung up the phone without hesitation. He had nothing more to say to this so - called mother.
Early in the morning, Yin Xiwen called Savel and told her to immediately move out of the hospital room and not to get close to Yin Huan because her actions had seriously affected Yin Huan's normal life.
Yin Xiwen said to Savel, "I already know that you like Yin Huan. It's bothering him. I've hired a new nurse. You should vacate your position right away. A new nurse will take over."
The commanding tone in Yin Xiwen's words left no room for refusal.
Savel couldn't believe what she heard when she received the call. For a moment,
She didn't know which piece of information was more shocking: "Yin Huan knows I like him", "I'm disliked by Yin Huan", or "Yin Huan wants to drive me away".
She didn't want to call Yin Huan to confirm this information. She wanted to confront him in person and get a clear answer.
However, Yin Xiwen was right about one thing. Savel had actually been Yin Huan's nurse all along.
Savel and Yin Huan met in a blended family. Yin Xiwen and Savel's father, Shasifu, were very sweet at first. They were each other's first loves, and it was all thanks to fate that they got together.
But Shasifu was addicted to gambling. His previous marriage ended because of this. He once swore in front of Yin Xiwen that he would never touch it again, and that was why Yin Xiwen agreed to his proposal.
But it didn't take long before he couldn't quit. He started gambling secretly at first, and finally gambled openly.
In the end, he still had a conscience. He divorced Yin Xiwen and begged her to transfer his daughter, Savel, to her household register.
After resolving everything, he went abroad alone to escape his debts.
He left a mess for Yin Xiwen.
Yin Xiwen didn't want to see this man again, but she couldn't help asking Savel about Shasifu's current situation over and over again.
But he seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
In the end, Yin Xiwen was found by a group of debt collectors. Alone and helpless, she had no choice but to pay with her house and car to get rid of them.
After that, Yin Xiwen seemed to have changed into a different person. She didn't care about anything. She piled up her hatred on Savel and even hated her son, who protected Savel.
But she was lucky. She hooked up with a rich man and became his mistress. Although it was immoral, she didn't care. As long as she could get money, everything was okay.
The rich man was very generous. At least so far, he had never let Yin Xiwen run out of money.
To take revenge on Savel, she forced Savel to take care of her cancer - stricken son from a young age. If she didn't, she wouldn't get food or go to school.
However, she didn't expect that all of this was actually what Savel was willing to do.
However, when Yin Xiwen heard the news that her son was really going to die, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Maybe it was guilt that made her agree to Yin Huan's request without thinking.
Yin Huan sat on the hospital bed early, waiting for Savel to come.
As soon as he sat up, Savel rushed in. She looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Is what Aunt Yin Xiwen said true? Do you want to drive me away?"
Facing a series of questions, Yin Huan wasn't flustered. He calmly nodded and said word by word,
"Yes, I want to drive you away. I don't like you. Your feelings for me make me feel uncomfortable and nauseous."
Savel knew every word, but why did they sound so strange when put together?
She finally got a definite answer from his mouth. She asked in a broken voice, "My feelings for you make you feel nauseous?"
Yin Huan looked straight at her and said coldly, "We grew up together. I regarded you as my sister, but you have such filthy thoughts about me. Don't you think it's disgusting? If I had known your thoughts earlier, I would never have let you stay by my side for so long. It's just revolting."
Yin Huan blurted out all the hurtful words. In fact, he had said these words to himself many times. Now Savel finally heard them, although the subject of the sentences had changed, but the hurt was still great.
Every word he said made Yin Huan feel as if his heart was bleeding. But he had no future, and he couldn't drag her down.
The young girl was in the bloom of her first love, but her true feelings were being trampled on. Savel felt that Yin Huan was so strange for the first time.
When Savel rushed out of the room, Yin Huan finally dropped his pretense. The pain that came over his body made him curl up his thin body tightly. He coughed violently, his body trembling constantly.
His thin and pale face was distorted by the great pain. Streams of bright red blood foam gushed out uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth and trickled down his chin onto his chest.
His clothes were stained scarlet, and the smell of blood filled the air instantly. The taste of blood in his mouth made him feel the threat of death. In his panicked eyes, there was an additional hint of despair that was hard to hide.
He kept apologizing to Savel in his heart, even though she couldn't hear him.
These words really hurt Savel. At least, three days had passed, and Yin Huan hadn't seen Savel again. And his time was running out.
