Although the surroundings were noisy, she clearly heard the sound of his heartbeat.
Thump... Thump... Thump...
It was a steady heartbeat.
Suddenly, Wen Meimei's eardrums were penetrated by a magnetic bass voice, "I looked for you all night."
It was like the deep tolling of a temple bell, echoing ceaselessly beside the young girl's ear.
After a moment, the man's Adam's apple moved again as he spoke, "Do you know how worried I was about you?"
Wen Meimei bit her lower lip hard, her tears betraying her as she remembered the abuse and humiliation she'd suffered at the hospital the night before, and he hadn't offered her a single explanation.
She was a human being too...
Why should she be treated like this?
It was laughable that now she had to go along with his pretentious acting.
Why was he doing this to her?
Grievances began to churn inside her and slowly turned into tears, wetting the man's chest.
