When those violet eyes, filled with immense fatigue, fragility, and emptiness, clearly reflected Mu Xinrong's figure—
Time seemed to have completely frozen at that moment.
Chao Youye's pupils suddenly contracted! As if they had been strongly stimulated by something! The emptiness was instantly replaced by an extremely complex and turbulent emotion - shock? Disbelief?
And... a trace of deep fear and... pain, like a frightened little animal? The pain was so clear, as if Mu Xinrong's very existence was a sharp knife piercing the deepest part of his soul!
His body trembled violently and uncontrollably, and an extremely weak, strangled gasp came from his throat.
The hand resting on the quilt suddenly clenched the sheet, and the knuckles turned white from the force! The pair of violet eyes stared at Mu Xinrong intently, with a storm of intense emotions surging in them that Mu Xinrong could not understand at all.
Mu Xinrong was so frightened by his sudden and violent reaction and the intense pain in his eyes that she trembled all over.
He wanted to explain, wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be completely blocked, and he couldn't squeeze out a single word! Huge panic and helplessness instantly gripped him.
Why? Why did Chao Youye react like this when she saw him? The pain in her eyes...was it because she hated him? Hated him for being entangled in countless reincarnations? Or...hated him for appearing before him again in this worldline?
In this suffocating, painful and panic-filled stare-at-stare stalemate——
Chao Youye clenched the sheets tightly with his hands, and it seemed that excessive force had affected his wound or weak body. He suddenly arched his body and began to cough violently!
The oxygen mask was instantly filled with mist from the rapid breathing! The ECG monitor issued a rapid alarm!
"Ugh... cough cough cough..." Chao Youye curled up in pain, her violet eyes covered with a layer of physiological tears due to the violent coughing, and the pain surging in them seemed to be even deeper.
Mu Xinrong could no longer care about the complicated look in her eyes and the panic in her heart. She instinctively rushed to the bedside and frantically tried to support Chao Youye's trembling body: "Chao Youye! How are you? Don't be afraid! It's okay! It's okay!"
However, as soon as his hand touched Chao Youye's arm, Chao Youye's body suddenly stiffened and trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted!
Then, as if he had used up all his strength, he waved Mu Xinrong's hand away with great resistance and almost violently!
"Don't touch me!" A hoarse and broken growl, full of pain and resistance, was squeezed out from under the oxygen mask with difficulty.
The pair of watery purple eyes stared at Mu Xinrong intently, with an almost desperate pleading and... self-loathing pain.
Mu Xinrong's hand froze in mid-air, as if it had been drenched in ice water, instantly chilling him to the bone marrow.
He looked at the intense pain and resistance in Chao Youye's eyes, and his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an ice-cold hand, hurting so much that he couldn't breathe.
Why...why is this happening?
