A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 262 She Was Almost Died (Part One)

In the hospital, Essie was lying on the bed in a coma. Although her life was out of danger now, the doctor said that she had a weak will to live. It was unknown when she would wake up.

Zac had stayed by her side for three days and nights. He was gaunt and tired. His hair was messy, and his eyes were dark. His chin was covered with stubble. The moment he saw her jump down, he collapsed and the fire of life seemed to be extinguished with her.

"Idiot, haven't you heard me? You weren't bullied by any bad guy; that guy was me; you are still a whole; you are only a fool to me. As long as you wake up, I can promise you anything. If you don't like Valery, I will send her back to the Xu family right away, and I won't make you angry any more... " His eyes were glistening with tears. He gripped her hand tightly on his face and kept talking to her. He knew that she was afraid to wake up. It was all his fault. He didn't protect her well so that the bad guy had a chance to hurt her.

"Boss." A man in black walked in. "We have interrogated Mandy and she said that she was also drugged. It was a man named Todd. He was an assistant chief of the hotel restaurant. Mandy said that Todd was her fan. When learning that she was in Dragon City and happened to live in the hotel where he was working, he took the opportunity to drug the wine he brought to her. We've checked that. The night when Mandy was taken to another room, she was... " The man in black stopped. Zac knew what he meant. "Do you catch Todd?" Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"On the evening of the next day after the accident, Todd was hit to death by a car on his way home. As for the driver, he ran away. The police haven't caught him yet."

"It's too easy for him." Zac said in a cold tone. "Keep checking until the driver is found." It was still possible that Todd was not the true boss.

"Yes." Then the man in black walked out.

After a while, William came in with breakfast. "Boss, get some rest after breakfast. I'll take care of your wife here. You haven't slept for three days. Don't fall ill when she wakes up."

Zac shook his head. "I want to be here with her. If she can't hear my voice, she will be more afraid, let alone wake up."

"Then at least you have to eat something, or you won't have the strength to hold on." He put the breakfast on the table.

Zac had no appetite, but in order to have the strength to accompany her, he picked up the chopsticks.

Essie kept dreaming. She dreamed that she was bogged down in a swamp and she couldn't get rid of it. She struggled and cried for help desperately, and then stretched out two hands from the air. One was an angel, and the other was Zac's.

"Come with me. I will take you to a carefree place. You will have no trouble or fear then." Said an angel.

"Don't mind him. I'll take you away. You're mine, and only mine. No one can take you away." Said Zac firmly.

"Icy guy? I'm already dirty, not clean. Do you still want me?" She cried loudly.

"I want you! You idiot! I want you!" He repeated.

"Icy guy!" While crying, she grasped his hand and said, "take me away..."

Just as Zac finished his porridge, a faint voice came from the sickbed. He excitedly put down the chopsticks and rushed to the bed. Seeing the weak woman slowly opening her eyes, he finally relaxed his nerves to the extreme.

"You're awake! Finally you're awake!" He held her hands tightly.

Tears fell down from the corner of her eyes. She turned her head away. Thinking that she was defiled, she had no courage to face him.

"Idiot, I was with you in the hotel that day. I wanted to let you sleep a little longer, so I didn't wake you up. Instead, I went to the bathroom to take a shower. I didn't expect you disappeared when I came out." In order to untie her knot, Zac explained to her what happened that day quickly.

She turned her head to look at him. Her eyes flashed a little, but soon became dim. "Are you afraid that I will suicide again, so you comfort me on purpose?"

"No, I'm telling the truth. It's really me. I rushed here in time, so you weren't bullied." He touched her pale face and said clearly.

"How do you know I'm in Kefir Hotel?" She was afraid that he was just lying to her.

"Butler happened to hear you when you were on the phone with Mandy and told me." He couldn't let her know that there was a GPS Tracker in her mobile phone, or it would be more difficult to know her whereabouts in the future.

She sniffed, then cried and laughed.

'Oh my God! My brain must have been short cut in the past two days. I even almost died because of a mistake.' Essie thought.

But it was a heavy blow to her.

Although she was a strong and optimistic person, she also had a fatal weakness: beauty. She liked to contact with two people, one was beautiful and the other was kind.

The ugly people, both in appearance and in mind, were her greatest taboo. She had always been avoiding them. One could be not beautiful, but his or her soul must be beautiful. The fat pig was not only ugly, but also obscene. His lewd smile at her made her sick.

At the thought of being tortured by that bastard, she really didn't have the courage to live on.

"Essie." The corners of Zac's mouth turned into a grim expression. "Now swear to me that no matter what happens in the future, you will never have the thinking of suicide."

She nodded desperately. "I swear, I will never do that again." She wouldn't allow such a bad thing to happen to her again.
