I Hate You, Devil! 184 Something she could do

The room fell silent for a long while until Kyuu moved closer to Xiaolei.

"Miss, I'm sorry…" he said formally. "I resented you without knowing the truth. Please forgive me."

Luo Xiaolei immediately shook her head upon hearing him. Kyuu's resentment was understandable. None of them knew about what had happened.

"No, it's not your fault." She replied, wiping her tears. "Thank you for telling me all this. I'm… I'm really glad to see you again, to finally remember you two again."

Luo Xiaolei couldn't believe that it had been twelve long years; no, for her, it had been decades since she last saw them, since she last remembered them. But the memories of them were still fresh in her mind, as if everything happened just yesterday. She could remember them, drenched with blood as they stayed beside Yu Chen. She really missed them.

If only Yu Chen was awake right now, she would've cried happy tears but she couldn't even feel happy at this moment, not when Yu Chen was still unconscious.

"I wish Chen would wake up now." Kyuu said, looking at the man on the bed. "He never said it but I know he always believed that you chose to forget him because you hated him and was terrified of him since you saw him hurt your grandfather and even killed someone right before your eyes."

"I never hated him. Yes, I was terrified when I saw him kill Mr. Han but I could never hate him. I know he was just defending himself that time. Or maybe, Mr. Han did something for him to do that to him."

"Actually, you are right, Mr. Han betrayed us. The hunters that were killed in the woods were his doing. It appeared that he did that to create suspicion. He told us that it was a way to drive the folks away from the woods but he actually did that to get the police's attention. He was also the one who tipped the assassins about Chen's whereabouts. The night we left your house, he attempted to kill Chen but failed, but he did manage to wound Chen. We hunted him in the woods, just to realize that he had numbers of allies with him. That was why everything went out of control. And… he was the first man Chen had ever killed."

"Mr. Han is… the worst! B-because of him…" Xiaolei was about to cry again but she fought it. "What happened to Big Dark? Big Gray was the only one left in the woods when I went there." She then asked. Big Dark was the other wolf that was about to eat her when she first met Chen in the woods. Big Dark was bigger than Big Gray and had darker fur so she named him Big Dark. Just like Big Gray, she had grown very close to him. Chen's pet quickly became hers back then.

"Big Dark is still alive. He's at scarlet hill."

"Really?"

"When we left that day, Juu took big Dark with us."

"I'm so glad… Big Gray died because of me…"

"No. Big Gray was already shot when we were running away. We knew she wouldn't survive such a wound so when she didn't catch up with us, we thought she was already dead. It appeared that she stayed for you… she saved you before she died. Her death wasn't in vain."

"That's right… Big Gray is my hero." She finally smiled, though her eyes were still filled with sadness.

"I wish Chen would wake up now so this crazy misunderstanding can finally be cleared."

"Mm, I also really wish for that to happen because I have a lot of questions for him. I have so much to tell him, too."

Just as the three were finally silent again as they looked at Yu Chen, the door clicked open.

When Hinari and Zaki entered, Kyuu excused himself while Juu just silently walked towards the corner and sat there.

"Xiaolei… are you okay?" Hinari was worried as she embraced her.

"I'm fine. Thank you so much for coming to save Yu Chen. I really couldn't thank you enough." She bowed to the two of them when Hinari stopped her.

"It's okay, Xiaolei. Yu Chen is my husband's young brother. Of course he will always help him." She said and Luo Xiaolei was touched. She was so glad that there were people like them by Yu Chen's side.

Zaki landed his palm on her head as he smiled encouragingly. "Don't worry little sis, Yu Chen is not weak. He will definitely wake up because he still needs to marry you." he grinned and after ruffling her hair, he walked near Yu Chen's bed and sat there, watching him for a long time.

When the couple was ready to leave, Zaki told Juu to watch Yu Chen before Xiaolei walked out with them to send them off.

"Gu Jinyang said that they will transfer Yu Chen back to Central City maybe tomorrow, so rest assured, we will send help. Sis-in-law will also come to check on him so don't worry and just stay strong, got it?" Zaki reminded Xiaolei, making her feel more positive.

"Thank you so much," was all she could say. She really couldn't thank this man enough. He was the hero who saved Yu Chen and he was such a nice man. But as she looked at him, Luo Xiaolei couldn't help but remember the news that shocked the business world back in her previous life – that five years from now, this man would die.

Looking at Hinari's face and their loving and precious relationship, Luo Xiaolei felt her heart aching again. She knew how much these two loved each other. She was always talking to Hinari over the phone so she could tell that this couple were inseparable, a match made in heaven. She didn't want this beautiful couple to experience such pain and this man was too nice for a fate like that. Hinari needed him. He was also the one who saved Yu Chen. Without him, Yu Chen might already…

Being someone who was given the chance to live again, Luo Xiaolei knew what was going to happen in the future. Was there something she could do for this man? What can she do to save him? What can she do so that he won't die? There must be something she could do, right? Maybe, this was also one of the reasons why she was given this chance, to change the things that weren't supposed to happen…
