"You're awake?" Huo Mian's voice was raspy and weak.
"Don't leave..." Like a child, he grabbed onto her hands tightly, unwilling to let go.
Huo Mian had never seen this side of Qin Chu before. He had always been so prideful, quiet, and cold, uninterested in anything that didn't involve her. Now? He looked so weak, his face colorless and his lips purple, helpless as could be...
"I won't leave." Huo Mian turned back and sat down by his bedside.
"Mian… I can't fix what my mother did. I'm so sorry… If I had known that she would be so extreme, I wouldn't have let my father know that we were married. It's all my fault. I'm sorry that your mother had to suffer."
Although Qin Chu's voice was weak, his gaze was honest and genuine...
Huo Mian could tell that he truly felt apologetic towards her mother...
