"vomit……"
Shi Nian was so frightened that he started gagging again, just like last time.
Her face grew even paler, her hands and feet were cold and stiff, and her whole body was trembling.
"Let me go...I want to get off the bus..."
Shi Nian tried to push him away weakly.
But she couldn't push him away at all.
"Shi Nian, calm down. What's wrong with you?" Ye Chen held her tightly, his face serious and his heart filled with anxiety.
Shi Nian was only thinking about leaving and didn't hear what he was saying at all.
She struggled to crawl towards the door, trying to open it and jump out.
But Ye Chen hugged her tighter and tighter, and she couldn't climb over him at all.
"Zhou Zheng, drive faster, let Yin Jun get there quickly!" Ye Chen ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, I'll urge Dr. Yin again!"
At the same time, the car accelerated and sped towards the villa halfway up the mountain.
As Shi Nian watched the villa draw ever closer, her fear intensified.
Her body, still weakened, was subjected to such a tremendous shock that her vision went black again, and she fainted.
But even fainting didn't eliminate the fear in her heart.
Her brows were furrowed, and cold sweat poured from her body, soaking the blanket wrapped around her.
Her mouth opened and closed, as if she were saying something.
Ye Chen couldn't hear clearly, so he leaned closer, and the woman's soft, weak voice gradually became clearer...
"Uncle, please...please don't hit me..."
Ye Chen's heart sank.
When did he hit her?
What scared her like that?
"I won't hit you, calm down." Ye Chen held her tightly with his strong hands, offering her silent comfort.
But Shi Nian had already lost consciousness and couldn't hear his voice at all.
"I didn't kill him... I really didn't kill Grandpa, Uncle, please let me go... I didn't kill Grandpa, and I didn't drug you..."
She cried her heart out.
The heartbreaking cries were tinged with an undeniable sense of fear and helplessness.
Her body trembled incessantly, and tears and cold sweat streamed down her face, making her look helpless and pitiful.
Ye Chen's heart clenched painfully.
Was she having a nightmare?
I dreamt that the old man was murdered; did he wrongly accuse her?
How could such a thing happen!
What on earth is going on in that stupid brain of hers?
She's really something to be scared like this by something she imagined!
"Waaaaah, it hurts so much... Uncle, it hurts so much..."
Although he knew Shi Nian was having a nightmare, Ye Chen felt as if his heart had been stabbed with a knife when he heard her helpless voice.
He softened his voice and coaxed gently, "I was too reckless. I won't make you hurt so much next time."
However, what he was thinking and what Shi Nian was afraid of were completely different things...
"My hand hurts so much, Uncle, please help me set my hand back up? I don't want to become crippled, please..."
Shi Nian was plunged into endless fear.
In her hazy consciousness, she seemed to return to the days when Ye Chen imprisoned her in the dungeon, her hands chained and hanging in the center of the dungeon.
(This is a recollection)
She saw her hands dislocated from being suspended, and excruciating pain spread from her wrists throughout her body.
Ye Chen stood coldly in front of her.
She cried and begged him to have mercy and set her hand back up.
She explained countless times that she did not kill her grandfather, nor did she drug him.
But he didn't believe it.
He remained unmoved.
No matter how much she begged him or explained, she couldn't awaken even a shred of conscience in him.
He held a small white snake in his hand, exuding a bloodthirsty chill. He walked step by step towards her, forcefully pried open her mouth, and shoved the snake inside...
