Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Trading Death for Freedom from Imprisonment
That night, after it rained all night, An Ruo fell ill.
The servant who brought her meals delivered breakfast in the morning, and when they returned in the afternoon
to bring lunch and collect the morning dishes, they found the breakfast untouched.
She didn’t think much of it, as An Ruo occasionally skipped meals.
That evening, when she cto deliver supper, she noticed that lunch was still untouched. Feeling suspicious
yet not daring to make any decisions on her own, she reported the situation to Xingtian.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXingtian's first reaction was that she was on a hunger strike, but on second thought, she had never done so
before. Even if she sometimes skipped meals, it was typically because she ate too much in the morning.
However, she would always have ssupper.
She hadn't eaten all day; she must have fallen ill.
Reviewing the surveillance footage, he saw the confined An Ruo curled up on the bed, asleep. She appeared
peaceful, yet her face was unusually flushed.
An Ruo was sick, and seriously so; by the tshe was discovered, she had already lost consciousness.
Even though Xingtian took her back to her old bedroom and called a doctor to treat her, she didn’t wake up.
The doctor said she lacked the will to live, and if she didn’t wake up, her condition would remain perilous.
No will to live?
Xingtian stared at her pale and thin face, his expression deep and somber.
During this time, he had hardened his heart not to see her, and he hadn't expected her to becso frail. If she
hadn't fallen ill, perhaps by the the saw her, she wouldn't be recognizable anymore.
Is this still the sAn Ruo who once looked so delicate and bright?
Xingtian stayed by her bedside for two days before she hazily opened her eyes.
An Ruo slightly moved her eyes, saw him sitting by the bed, and asked in confusion, “What happened to me?”
Xingtian replied blandly, “You're sick.”
An Ruo recalled the high fever she had that night and thought she was surely doomed.
Her life was indeed cheap; she kept surviving and always managed to pull through.
“Why did you save me?” she asked him, “Staying alive only means being imprisoned by you forever, I'd rather
die.”
“Do you really want to die that much?” Xingtian leaned toward her and asked coldly.
