David You have to go through it.
Deep inside the city lord’s mansion, in a secret room that was relatively intact.
David lay quietly on the bed, his face as pale as paper, his breathing so weak he could barely hear it.
His body was wrapped in bandages, and blood continued to seep out from under the bandages, a shocking sight.
The wounds left by the demonic flames were charred black. Even though Yunxi had used her magical energy to remove most of the demonic poison, the wounds were still hideous and frightening, deep enough to reveal bone.
Chen Wanqing remained by the bed, holding David’s hand tightly, her eyes red, and tears streaming silently down her face.
He sat there, unmoving, as if he would stay like that forever.
After an unknown amount of time, David’s fingers twitched slightly.
Chen Wanqing suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with surprise.
“David! David!”
He called softly, his voice shaking.
David’s eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
What came into view was Chen Wanqing’s tear-stained face, and the deep worry and joy in her eyes.
“Wanqing”
David’s voice was hoarse and weak, as if it was being forced out of his throat.
“You’re awake! You’re finally awake!”
Chen Wanqing cried happily, holding his hand tightly, “Do you know, I almost thought you wouldn’t wake up?”
David looked at him, forcing a weak smile.
“Sorry for making you worry”
Chen Wanqing shook her head, wiped her tears, and said seriously, “You should lie down and not move much. Yunxi said your injury is too serious and you need to rest for at least a month to recuperate.”
David nodded slightly, but his gaze subconsciously drifted out the window towards the empty sky.
Looking into his eyes, Chen Wanqing felt a complex mix of emotions roiling within her.
He was silent for a moment, then finally asked softly:
“David, who is that woman?”
David’s body was a little stiff.
Chen Wanqing continued, “It was the woman in purple who injured you with the flame sword. Who is she to you?”
David was silent for a long time, his eyes flashing with pain, longing, guilt and deep love.
He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse:
“Her name is Sonya, she is my girlfriend.”
Chen Wanqing’s fingers tightened slightly.
girlfriend.
Of course he understood the word.
That’s what it’s called in the secular world; meaning the woman he loves most.
“he……”
Chen Wanqing carefully chose her words, “Why did he hurt you? He really doesn’t seem to know you.”
David closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then slowly opened them.
“He has amnesia.”
Her voice was filled with endless sorrow, “We came from the mortal world together and experienced so many things. But then, she disappeared, and I looked for her for a very long time. I never expected that when we met again, she had been controlled and her memories had been sealed.”
He was silent, his eyes filled with sadness: “He doesn’t remember me, he doesn’t remember anything between us. But I don’t blame him, I only blame myself. I lost him, I failed to protect him.”
Chen Wanqing listened quietly, a feeling that was difficult for her to describe rising within her.
The feelings were a mixture of envy and a little jealousy that he himself was reluctant to admit.
Seeing the tenderness and pain in David’s eyes when he mentioned Sonya, and seeing his uncomplaining attitude even when he was seriously injured, she suddenly felt deep sadness.
He longed for someone to treat him like that someday.
But that person already has someone else in his heart.
Chen Wanqing lowered her head, was silent for a moment, then raised her head again, forcing a smile on her face.
“He must be very happy.”
David looked at him, a glimmer of guilt flashing in his eyes.
“Wanqing, I’m sorry, I”
Chen Wanqing shook her head, interrupting her words.
“You don’t need to apologize. It’s very natural for someone like you to have several close female friends.”
He paused, then said softly, “I only hope that you can recover well and get well soon. As for that Miss Su, I believe that one day, she will remember you.”
David looked at him, his eyes filled with gratitude.
“Wanqing, thank you.”
Chen Wanqing smiled and said no more.
He just sat quietly by the bed, accompanying her and watching her.
Even though she had someone else in her heart, she was willing to stay by his side.
