Lóng Wei had sent Ai Fen away while he waited for Li Hua to wake up. As every minute passed, his heartbeat would intensely rise out of concern.
Li Hua slowly opened her eyelids as she gained consciousness.
"Li Hua, are you alright? How are you feeling?" Lóng Wei inquired. His voice was soft and his eyes were misty. Li Hua used her elbows to sit up when Lóng Wei told her not to move. He pushed her to the mattress.
"Peng Yuxian said that you must stay in bed. You need a good rest. Forgive me, for being so hard on you," Lóng Wei said, and caressed her forehead.
"He lied so blatantly," Li Hua said, as her eyes filled with tears. "Your Highness, it is hurting me. I won't lie to you. I loved him until the past few days, when I found out about his betrayal. It is so painful." Tears poured down her cheeks. She sniffled while sobbing and covered her eyes with her hands.
