Chapter 1 - Prologue

" She might not survive this time.."

Su Xiangxue could hear the bitterness and pity in the doctor's voice.

" It's a pity…she doesn't have to go through this pain. wuwuwuwu…" The old lady cried out while clutching her husband's arm tightly.

Su Xiangxue in her comatose state rolled her eyes. People would have thought this woman, who is her mother, loved and cared for her deeply. Only those who had been with her for a long time would know her true character.

' Heh! She isn't concerned about my pain . She just wants me to die. Paying my bills would be too hard for her to do.'

" Ah…this girl! We had told her countless times to take it easy, but she wouldn't listen. The bills…how are we going to pay them now…wuwuwuwu.." The old lady said dramatically.

" Madam…" The doctor placed her hand on the old lady's shoulders and consoled her. She sympathized with the old lady. It wasn't easy for them to take care of a terminally ill child from childhood up to her adulthood. They had really sacrificed so much. And now the child couldn't repay them back, but just adds more problems.

" The fees had already been paid. No need to worry. Someone had already paid for all her treatment. "

" What ..? !" The old lady stopped crying instantly, and wiped the tears she had managed to squeeze out of her eyes.

" Who paid for it ? " The old man spoke for the first time since he entered the hospital.

" Hmm…the information is confidential. I can't say. Although it seems stupid to be paying that huge amount of money to someone who is ninety nine point nine percent not going to open her eyes again."

" Doctor…we would leave now, and come back. Our daughter needs our support. But we can't in this state. " The old man said with a small smile as he watched the slow breathing of the woman in bed.

" No problem. Let me see you off. "

The door of the room opened, and closed a few seconds later.

Days passed, and the only people who entered the room were the nurses who came to change the drips and check on the machine keeping her heart beating. Her parents never stepped foot in the room, and she wasn't bothered.

She spent days listening to the sounds around her. She was only waiting for the time when her heart would stop beating.

A month had passed, surprising the doctor. It was estimated that she could only last for ten days, but here she was still breathing after twenty days of the estimated day.

" You are a thorn in my path. Even after everything you still emerge as the winner." A melodic voice, like that of a bird, resounded in the room.

' Ah! She is here. '

One other thing Su Xiangxue did other than listening to sounds was detecting scents. From the scents, she was able to identify who , and the person's gender.

The woman, hearing no reply, rummaged through her bag. The next thing Su Xiangxue felt was a sting on her arm, and the flow of some liquid through her vein.

" There, let's see if you can survive this. Don't blame me. You made me retort to this method. And moreover I am doing you a favor. Your pain would end soon. " The woman said with a malicious smile on her face.

Although Su Xiangxue couldn't see it, she was sure that was the expression on the woman's face.

Not long after the woman left , another pair of footsteps walked towards her bed before taking a seat.

' Oh come on! Another person who wants to help me ?!! ' Her body was already feeling numb. Who knows what was poured into her veins? But right now, she was least concerned about it. The pain she was feeling was nerve wracking.

" Su Xiangxue…" A manly deep voice called out her name softly.

' What…? He..How dare he !!!' Su Xiangxue was so enraged that her eyelids opened.

.

The man's eyes widened, as his eyes met with Su Xiangxue's. His breathing hitched, and sweat trickled down his temple. Right now, Su Xiangxue wasn't just a good looking woman, but a demoness.

" I....I am sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen…! I " Before he could continue blabbing on , Su Xiangxue stopped him. While he was talking, she used her last bit of strength to remove the oxygen mask.

" Sorry? Sorry, can't change anything. If it could, then no one is supposed to have bad memories, nightmares, hatred and the need to avenge themselves. "

" Su…"

" What's the use of saying this now? It's too late. Hehehe…you even got me into the VIP room. I am flattered ~" Su Xiangxue said with a smile on her face , as she looked at the man coldly.

" This was just a …we never had anything for each other. We were benefiting from it. I was able to stop my parents from setting up blind dates for me , and you were able to make your parents happy. It was a win-win situation. "

" Then why are you here? Our contract had already ended a long time ago. We are nothing more but strangers with some memories! " The man had a look of hurt on his face , but Su Xiangxue wasn't finished.

The man hesitated before speaking.

" Is it true? Do you… love me ? "

" Yes. Yes , I did. I fell in love with you. And the quote that ' Anything that falls breaks ' was proven true. You broke my heart, Tian Feng . " Su Xiangxue's voice was slowly losing its pitch.

She closed her eyes and sighed.

" Please go bore someone else with your existence. You deserve someone like you." She said, and her breathing ceased. That was the last sentence she spoke, before giving up.

' The Former Entertainment Empress died from an unknown illness. Hmph! How ironic!'
