Wen Xin lay on Mu Chengxi's chest, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat. She felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

Alfredo, having just changed his bandages, stood outside Mu Chengxi's room, looking through the window at the two of them holding each other tightly on the bed. His heart ached sharply.
It was a scene he had always fantasized about, but the person lying beside her was not him. Perhaps, he thought, he would never have the right to be by her side.
Early in the morning, Chu Yunxuan rushed in. Wen Xin, just waking up, was surprised to see her. She had arranged for her to leave, so why was she back?
