Chapter 46 Part 4

That night, Ye Qiao’s cold worsened . Despite having a 38 . 5C (101 . 3F) fever, Ye Qiao refused to go to the hospital .
They slept on the two sides of the big bed, each rolled up inside a blanket . In the middle of the night, head clouded by fever, Ye Qiao subconsciously drew closer to Zhou Tingsheng mumbling something all the while .

Zhou Tingsheng got up to turn on the light that was only strong enough to illuminate a small portion of the large room .
Ye Qiao woke up as well but started to have a splitting headache . She opened her mouth, though wasn’t particularly conscious of what she was saying: “ . . . . . . I haven’t apologized to her . ”

She wasn’t really as calm and indifferent as she acted, the past still bothered her in her dreams .
Zhou Tingsheng lightly made a sound in reply . Then he held her tightly .
Her voice was tranquil but deep: “She likes you . Can’t you tell?”
Zhou Tingsheng cast his eyes down and replied after a long moment of silence: “ . . . . . . I can tell . ”

That was the reason why he seldom went to visit her in the last two years . He thought maybe the distance would wear down her immature affections .

Ye Qiao felt like crying but she didn’t let the tears fall: “I feel guilty . But she likes you, so I didn’t apologize to her . ”
Her voice grew hoarse . “Apologizing is a very sincere act . If I’m not willing to give everything to make it up to her, then that apology would be just for show . ”
The tears she had been holding back began to flow like tidal waves which inundated her .

Ye Qiao tightly bit her lower lip, her voice was now almost inaudible . “Zhou Tingsheng, I really want to apologize to her . ”
He tightly circled his arms around her . Her body was so hot that he felt like a cold blooded animal . If he hadn’t been so cocky in the past, today would have never happened . Everything was a consequence of his past sins . No matter who came to point fingers at him, he would readily admit it . However, she was the only one who aimed the origin of the sin at herself, giving him an invisible shield .

Ye Qiao seemed to have cried all the tears built up from the past ten years in these two days . The guilt she had only seen in her dreams was now right in front of her and it felt heavier than she had expected . Yet she was greedier than she thought she was . Ye Qiao kept going in and out of dreams . They began to grow darker .   Ghosts from hell came asking why she was still alive when she should’ve died a decade ago . Ruan Feiyan’s voice mixed with the ghosts . “You’ve already taken away my mom, why do you have to fight with me for him?”
It seemed that being alive was her greatest mistake .

By the next day, the high fever had somewhat incapacitated Ye Qiao .
Zhou Tingsheng called Qianxi over to help take care of Ye Qiao . Qianxi came with a doctor who gave Ye Qiao an intravenous drip .

Qianxi anxiously stayed at her cousin’s side, worried that Ye Qiao hadn’t come around . “She’s burning hot . If she doesn’t come to, we have to take her to the hospital . ”
“She won’t go . ” Zhou Tingsheng had tried many times, but Ye Qiao somehow found the unusual strength whenever he tried to move her .

“My cousin has always been fragile . What if the fever continues……” Qianxi tried the traditional method by applying cold towels on Ye Qiao’s forehead and worriedly said: “My cousin’s father fell ill not too long ago . I heard that he was coming to see her, but had a heart attack right before boarding the plane . The people at the airport sent him to the hospital . He hasn’t been well since . The genes in her family are really bad!”
Zhou Tingsheng gestured to Qianxi to stop while they were still at Ye Qiao’s bedside .
Qianxi scratched her hair and said: “Maybe I should just take leave from work and stay here with her . If there’s anything wrong with my cousin, my dad would want my head for sure!”
