"Aunt Manlin, no, Brother Wu'an didn't force me. The situation was urgent and we had no choice but to have sex."
Xia Weiyi told Manlin what happened on the cruise ship that night. The more she listened, the more she frowned: "Even so, you can't sacrifice yourself to save him."
"I love him."
Her words instantly made Manlin close her lips. She stared at the stubborn and beautiful girl in front of her. Unconsciously, she had grown up a lot and was no longer the little girl who could only hide in the room and cry.

"Master Si, I'm sorry, but we still haven't found out who the bloodstains on the bed sheet belong to. Our hospital's blood database is not complete."
