Chapter 221: Acting Righteously

Pain, such pain.

Su Meixi woke up to agony.

The knife had stabbed just below her neck, in her shoulder, and despite the pillow being fluffed up so softly, it still hurt.

She opened her eyes and saw Gu Wei, with the hospital's distinctive blue and white walls behind him.

"Ah Xi... my wife," Gu Wei said, holding Su Meixi's hand, with red-rimmed eyes.

"Gu..." she tried to speak, but the oxygen mask made it impossible.

Gu Wei leaned close to her and said, "I'm here, you don't need to say anything. I'll take care of everything."

She just looked at him with her eyes.

But she was in such discomfort that any small movement brought pain, and she lacked the strength to turn over.

It was excruciating.

Later, Gu Wei played some music for her, and it briefly captured part of her attention.

She didn't feel quite as tormented and drifted off to sleep.

She slept nearly a whole day this time.

When she awoke, it was still Gu Wei she saw.
