Begonia only feels a sharp pain passing through the depths of her mind. Some scenes fads away, while some scenes emerges.
Begonia seems to hear a voice in her ears, and her eyes finally be abld to see the light again.
"Hey, look, you're awake!"
Begonia finally sees clearly the pure white walls and ceiling, flashing with dazzling incandescent light.
"I'm telling you young people, I've seen a lot girls like to make love as life's only meaningful thing. But when you getting older, you will see love is just a jok, ok! No need to pay by your life. The temperature outsid is almost zero degrees, and you're running around without a coat. If you don't faint, who will? Look, acupuncture at the Ren Zhong point will work quickly and save medical resources. Go get an IV drip. There's no need to do a full-body test. Don't waste medical resources. Reduce the fever quickly, and you'll be fine the next day! Go!"
"Begonia, Begonia!" Celeste is still a little worried.
Begonia blinks and finally regains consciousness.
"Are you okay?" Cindy pokes her head out from behind Celeste. "You fainted on the road, and I remembered you weren't wearing a coat, so I ran out. Celeste happened to see you and brought you here."
Cindy's words wakes Begonia up.
Begonia tries to prop herself up with hands, but she touches the IV needle on the back of her hand. Celeste quickly holds her down.
"Why are you moving? Can't you just lie down as you are having a fever? Your health is getting worse with the changing seasons. Why are you running outside in such a cold snowy day without a coat? Do you know how worried I was when I saw you faint..."
"Sorry!" Begonia interruptes Celeste.
"Cindy, I'm sorry to interrupt your private banquet. I'm fine now. You should go back quickly with him, otherwise there will be no one to greet the guests!"
"Begonia, you..."
"Celeste!" Begonia finally faces Celeste.
"Today, in front of Cindy, I want to make some things clear. Yes, you used to have the right to judge on me, but now, you have nothing to do with me, and you don't have to worry about what I do anymore! Do you understand? You used to be like an ice cube, and I covered you for four years without letting you melt. What do you want to do now! Aren't you annoyed by your coming and going like this?"
Begonia's voice does not tremble, and her face is as cold as amber sealed in a glacier.
But Begonia could see that Celeste has an expression of hurt on his face.
Begonia's heart is bleeding, but Begonia dosen't want Celeste to be hurt again, especially from herself.
"Are you short of girls around you? With your qualifications, Celeste, there must be a lot of girls throwing themselves at you. Are they not as good as me in licking you, or are they not as stupid as me? Whether it's people or money, you can take whatever you want? But that fool has no money, what else do you want from me? Celeste, I look down on you!"
Celeste is so confused by Begonia's words that he seems to reach out to grab Begonia's shoulders and ask, how could this woman be so cruel?
Why misinterprets him and their past!
"Yes, I used to like you, I liked you very much, but flowers have a shelf life, and you are no different! I'm tired of you, you know! You're just so unlucky to have met me who is fickle! Let both go! At least, let me go!"
Begonia looks like she doesn't want to talk anymore. She lay on the hospital bed and even slowly coveres herself with the quilt before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
Cindy looks at Celeste's fists with blue veins and red eyes, and sighs slightly in her heart.
It's for herself as well as for them.
Cindy wants to open her mouth to say something, but it seems that she is unable to break the silence and entanglement between the two of them.
When Cindy gives up, Celeste speaks first.
"You should get some rest first! It's okay if you don't want to talk to me today. I'll come see you tomorrow."
The ward finally falls into depression, silence and quietness again.
Begonia thinks she would cry, but, she just keeps her eyes open, soberly recalling the words that hurt Celeste and herself over and over again. It turns out that she could say such hurtful words to Celeste!
Cindy follows Celeste in silence all the way. She has something to say, but feels she had nothing to say.
Celeste pulls the door handle of the cab, but stands there for a long time without moving.
"You drive!" Celeste opens the car door, but does not get in. Instead, he walks towards the passenger seat.
"I'm afraid I'll floor the accelerator in such a bad mood."
Cindy naturally has no objection. After they get in the car, Cindy still asks a question.
"Where are you going?"
Cindy is not sure what choice Celeste would make in this situation.
"Let's go to see the Minister."
Cindy breaths a sigh of relief, and now she has to go back to the banquet. Celeste always puts work first, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he doesn't show up to the big guys she invited tonight.
The street lights flashes one after another, and Cindy tries to speak.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you today..."
"You don't have to apologize!" Celeste interruptes Cindy, giving Cindy some hope.
"It's not you who really hurt her, but me!"
The man's profile is full of mystery and brokenness in the night. Unfortunately, Cindy understands that it is not because of me!
"It's my fault for not explaining it to you clearly."
Celeste covers his eyes with his hands, as if he doesn't want Cindy to see his emotions.
"I like you ..."
"Don't be so hasty to refuse!" Cindy slammes on the brakes. Fortunately, there are not many vehicles on this road, and their speed is not fast.
At work, Cindy has always been a proactive person.
When it comes to love, Cindy doesn't want to be a deserter who is defeated without a fight.
"I know who Begonia is, and I know about your relationship. But she wasn't by your side during the years you were in Harvard, and now Begonia obviously doesn't want to be with you. Celeste, you are a person of status, you should know the consequences of being associated with Begonia!"
Now that Cindy has spoken, she wants to make her words clear.
"Begonia's fraudulent father teamed up with that cheating scientist to set up a technology company. It was very popular. Everything they did was fake and deceptive, but they made a lot of money, both from institutions and individuals. The amount involved was more than 200 million. The legal representative of the company was Begonia's mother! Begonia had nothing to do with it, but after the incident, Begonia changed the company's legal representative to herself, which meant that she took on all the debts."
Cindy's tone is fast and urgent!
"Her fraud father ran away, and her mother, who was the legal person, was also mentally ill. If been sentenced, she would be locked up in a mental hospital with care. It's no different from what she is now. Begonia should be fine, but she has to endure the hardship now. In the legal sense, she is the legal person of the defined fraudulent company. Do you know what this means? You still want to be associated with her!"
Cindy is not cold-blooded, she just hopes that Celeste can wake up.
"Celeste, you have a bright future now, but you have just stepped onto the stage. Reputation is very important. Only when you have enough business resources can you do whatever you want. If you want to help Begonia, it's okay. You can quietly support her life and let her have food and clothing! I don't mind these. I'm not a petty woman! I know Begonia is very important to you! But, Celeste, you should treat your career more rationally! This is not only your career, but also the career of those of us who follow you, believe in you, and add to your investment! Can you be more responsible to everyone!"
Cindy knows that she is too aggressive, so she takes a deep breath and softens her tone.
"Celeste, I like you!"
Seeing that Celeste doesn't say anything, Cindy suddenly thinks that maybe not refusing is hope.
"You know my family background. We can help you quickly get through many connections. My uncle is very optimistic about you, otherwise he would not have used his personal relationship to invite the Minister here to introduce you to him. Celeste, you need a good wife like me. I can help you do what Begonia couldn't do!"
Cindy has never thought that one day she would be so humble, but this man who is deeply in love with Begonia made Cindy unable to stop. How contradictory yet how reasonable!
Cindy is fascinated by Celeste's deep affection.
But Celeste's deep affection is because of another woman.
What you can't get seems to be more precious.
What if, by some chance, I could snatch this true heart?
But she never thinks about whether the change is sincere or not!
"You can continue to have Begonia. I don't mind! Really, as long as it's in public..."
"Get out of the car!" Celeste finally puts down his hands that are covering his eyes and gives an order to Cindy.
He gets out of the car first and goes to the other side to open the driver's door. "Go to the back seat!"
Cindy is completely confused at this moment, because of what she has said and Celeste's attitude.
Celeste gives an order and Cindy takes an action.
Finally, Celeste's car returns to the route.
"Cindy, you should save your compromise for the one who truly loves you, because he will never let you do that! And I will always belong to Begonia, no matter what she says!"
There is a faint sound of crying coming from the back seat, but Celeste just looks straight ahead, pretending not to hear it.
This night, people are hurt by each other and hurt each other. Love is like a little demon that stirs up discord, acts recklessly and plays with people at will.
