The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 91: Tell me

Xia Meilin was feeling cold and hot at the same time. Every part of her body was hurting when she woke up. She whimpered in pain since she was having a high fever at that time. She felt something cold being placed on her forehead before she fell asleep again.

The next moment when she opened her eyes, she found herself inside a white room. She felt her hand being held and she tried pulling it away but it only aroused the man who was holding it.

Lu Yifeng sat up straight and looked at her. His hair was messy, and dark bags were seen under his eyes. He looked terrible like this, he looked like he didn't sleep a wink ever since she was taken.

Realizing it was him, Xia Meilin ended up tearing up as she pursed her lips. "Y-Yifeng..." She cried as she held his hand tight.

He reached out his other hand and wiped her tears away, "Don't cry, everything is fine now. You're fine now."

She burst into tears and cried like a child as she squeezed his hand when she recalled what happened. She felt scared because of it. She was afraid and traumatized. If she wasn't able to escape that place, she could have been raped and killed by now.

Lu Yifeng helped her up and took her in his arms. After receiving a call from one of his men, he hurriedly went to the hospital where Xia Meilin was taken in. He felt his heart almost stop when he saw her condition.

He had sworn to himself that he would protect her and yet... he wasn't able to do that. He was known to be a powerful man and yet, he couldn't even do anything to find where his wife was when she was taken away by someone. At that moment, he felt worthless and useless. He wasn't even able to do something for the person he swore to protect.

He almost lost her... He was so scared to know that she almost slipped off his hand again. He lost her in his previous life and he wouldn't be able to take it if he lost her in this life too.

Even with his connections, the moment Xia Meilin was taken off from his radar, he couldn't find her. His men were searching for her but without any other lead except for the CCTV footage, he couldn't find her. Even if he was someone powerful, he still has his limits and because of his limitations, his wife was put to danger. He was not fast enough to find her.

"It's alright now, I'm here." He hugged her close in his arms. "You're going to be fine."

Feeling safe in his arms, Xia Meilin stopped crying and was able to calm down.

"Don't leave me..." She whispered in her weak and dry voice.

"I won't." He pulled away from the hug and wiped her wet face with his hands. "You must be hungry. Do you want to eat? I've brought you some congee."

Feeling her stomach grumble, she nodded quietly while she hugged her blanket.

Lu Yifeng placed two pillows behind Xia Meilin to make her more comfortable before he turned around to get her congee.
