Chapter 164: Act Bravely for a Just Cause

Su Lu felt somewhat fortunate to have a protective brother who shielded her from Bo Jingshen; otherwise, if that person appeared before her.

Su Lu couldn't be sure whether her emotions could remain as calm as they were now, whether this ethereal protective mechanism could still be like the still water, without pain.

Cheng You Ran had even muttered before, since he almost knelt outside the surgery room for Su Zhe, why hadn't he come to the hospital to apologize over the past few days? Why hadn't he tried to see Su Lu?

"He's just feeling guilty!" Cheng Youran had said, "He probably just doesn't know how to face you, huh? When you just came out of surgery and were still unconscious, he looked utterly heartbroken. Why is he nowhere to be seen now that you're awake? Does he feel guilty? Is he too scared to meet you?"

"Stop being angry," Su Lu advised her softly, pausing before quietly adding, "It's better that he didn't come. If he had, I wouldn't know... how to cope."
