Seeing that he had remained silent, paired with the guilt evident in his gaze, a wave of disappointment washed into Yun Xuan's heart. Great.
Just when she started thinking that 'third time is a charm'. Those were his own words but they mocked her at the moment.
Lin Ye knew that he was in deep trouble once he saw that kind of expression on her face.
He didn't lie... he indeed didn't want to tell anyone about his recovery because he was hatching a plan. Of course, that was one reason and perhaps the main. But how could he admit that he had started getting scared that once she found out he no longer needed his help, she might leave his side?
Considering the current situation, their relationship would only sour if he strived to keep his pride. So he gently asked, "Xuanxuan, be honest with me. If I didn't get injured, would you stay by my side?"
Yun Xuan didn't know why he was asking and didn't think about her answer. "No."
