The Remorse

Everyone in the room was shocked. They didn't expect Ava to cut her wrist just like that. The leader of the gang suddenly panicked and looked at Oliver in horror.

He said trembling: "CEO Knight, she... "

Oliver was frozen seeing what she had done, hearing the leader he rushed forward only to see Ava's cold smile mixed with despair and sadness. Seeing Oliver running toward her Ava once again raised the glass and cut her wrist and fell to the ground.

"Ava, you are crazy!" Oliver shouted in panic. He didn't bring her here to let anyone hurt her. He would never let anyone hurt her. He just wanted to punish her, he wanted her to beg him but she was so stubborn that she would rather die than beg him.

"Mr. Knight, if... If I die, please... let my... family go." Ava said faintly, blood was flowing like a river from her wrist and her eyes were getting heavy.

"No, you can't die, I won't let you die." Oliver was going crazy. He shook his head, bend down scooped Ava in his arm, and ran toward his car as fast as he could.

Ava's face was getting paler every second, she closed her eyes. Oliver started to shout again in fear that she wouldn't open those eyes ever again, "Ava, don't you dare. You can't die. If you dare to die, I will make your family pay!"

But Ava didn't hear a word she had already lost consciousness.

Tonight, he shouldn't have gone to this extent. He just wanted to scare her, he never thought that Ava would try to commit suicide. He now regretted his impulsive action. Oliver was never a religious person but at that moment he was praying to god to keep her safe, not let anything happen to her.

301 hospital.

Ava was pushed into the emergency room. Oliver was restlessly pacing in the corridor. He was really worried, when he brought her to the hospital she had already lost a lot of blood. He couldn't lose her, No he wouldn't.

Oliver felt very angry at himself. Why did he treat Ava like that? He clearly cared for her then why he kept losing his temper and hurting her like that. Such an angel she was and he kept crushing her, he even hurt her dignity tonight. She didn't deserve that.

The moment Oliver saw Ava cut off her wrist, he felt like someone had stabbed his heart with a sharp knife, it was so suffocating and those eyes when she looked at him, he will never forget the anguish in them, it will haunt him for the rest of his life. He thought he was going to lose her and he felt his life suddenly become meaningless, he just couldn't imagine his life without her. Suddenly Oliver started to laugh out loud which seemed to be a self-mocking laugh. He wanted to make her fall in love with him but in the end, it was he, who fell in love with her. What an irony.

Oliver heard rushed footsteps and saw Uncle Joe trotted over and stood in front of Oliver respectfully.

"CEO Knight, how are you?" Uncle Joe took a look at Oliver. He looked like a man who has just lost his soul. His white shirt was stained with blood, his eyes were blood red and his hair was a mess. He looked like a mad man.

Oliver just nodded but didn't say anything.

"Mr. Knight, you should go and change your clothes." Uncle Joe gave him a bag with new clothes in it.

Oliver said in a low voice, "No, I'll wait for her to come out."

There was a depressing atmosphere in the corridor. Oliver closed his eyes, he seemed to have lost all of his strength. His deep eyes looked dull and lonely. Before Ava Oliver was used to living a lonely life but since she came into his life, it became so colorful that now he was afraid of this loneliness. At that moment he understood he could not live without her. Maybe it was time for him to let go of the past, he could only let it go for Ava.

Ava, you cannot leave me, you owe me a life!

Uncle Joe could not see Oliver like that, he tried to comfort him. "Mr. Knight, keep it together, Miss Green will be alright."

"Uncle Joe, I was my fault, I forced her to do this tonight," Oliver said in a sad voice. The remorse could be seen clearly in his dark eyes.

"CEO Knight, even if you regret it now, there is nothing you can do about it, so please stop blaming yourself."

"Uncle Joe do you think I am unbearable?"

"No Mr. Knight, Love is a poison. It has the ability to make people unreasonable."

Oliver pressed his lips tightly and didn't say anything else.

The operation theatre door suddenly opened and the doctors came out. Before Oliver could ask anything, the doctor who did the operation said, "Please don't worry, Mr. Knight, Miss Green is out of danger now, we patched up her wrist. Although she lost too much blood but we still managed to rescue her. She will wake up soon."

Oliver heaved a sigh of relief. "When will you transfer her to the ward?"

"Within an hour, tonight Miss Green needs to stay at the hospital for observation. If everything stays normal then she can go home tomorrow."

Outside the ward.

"Mr. Knight, you should go back and get some rest, I'll stay and look after Miss Green." Uncle Joe said earnestly.

"No, I'll look after her myself. You help me with the company meeting tomorrow morning. I won't go to work tomorrow." Oliver said lightly.

"Mr. Knight, you need to rest too."

"I am fine. You go, hurry home." Oliver raised his hand and rubbed his temple.

In the ward, Ava woke up and half heard the conversation between Oliver and Uncle Joe. She looked at her bandaged wrist and thought since meeting Oliver, so many things happened in her life, but she never thought there would come a day when she would try to kill herself to save her dignity. Suddenly Ava felt very tired. It's probably better to lay here in the hospital and rest. She didn't want to think about anything else right now.
