Chapter 1352 - 1353: Madness

Qian Bao has not left, staying right by Zhao Jingmiao’s bedside.

So, when Zhao Jingmiao woke up, she saw Qian Bao with red eyes staring unblinkingly at her.

Seeing her awake, Qian Bao hurried to ask, "Are you... feeling a bit better?"

Zhao Jingmiao nodded, "Did you bring me to the hospital?"

Her voice was still a bit hoarse from shouting too much earlier.

Listening to this made Qian Bao’s heart ache.

"Yes, I’m sorry," Qian Bao said looking at her, "If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have gone through this."

Zhao Jingmiao shook her head.

When Zhao Cai was feeding her medicine, she already understood from their conversation what had happened.

So, she didn’t blame Qian Bao.

Zhao Jingmiao couldn’t help but take another look at the man in front of her; compared to the first time she saw him, he was utterly transformed.

Though he still had a hint of a roguish vibe, his whole aura was different now.

Moreover, he had become more mature than before.

He exuded the charm of a mature man.

Upon hearing that they were going to give her to Qian Bao, Zhao Jingmiao admitted that her heart which was in her throat, was finally at ease.

As long as it wasn’t some random person, it was fine.

Being given to Qian Bao might be better than being given to someone else.

At that time, that’s how she comforted herself.

"Thank you for bringing me to the hospital," Zhao Jingmiao said.

When she opened her eyes and saw herself in the hospital, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved.

"Don’t mention it, it’s my fault," Qian Bao patiently said, seeing her wanting to speak, and continued, "Your throat is uncomfortable, don’t talk anymore, just rest well."

"Do you want some water? I’ll get some for you," Qian Bao said, turning around to fetch some water for Zhao Jingmiao.

To be honest, when she opened her eyes and happily saw him, Qian Bao felt his heart was hit hard once again.

But he didn’t dare look her in the eye, didn’t dare see her grateful expression.

Zhao Jingmiao smiled slightly from behind.

When she was first captured and given that kind of drug, she almost wanted to die.

The first time she was raped, and the second time she was drugged.

Her life seemed so dark, she couldn’t envision anything else.

But she never expected that the one to bring her sunshine would be Qian Bao.

Qian Bao might only think she purely appreciated not being touched and being brought to the hospital.

But in truth, what Zhao Jingmiao was grateful for was the courage and motivation he gave her to live on and face her future life.

She thought, what challenges could there be in the future that she couldn’t overcome?

Qian Bao’s hands only stopped shaking after he walked out.

From seeing Zhao Jingmiao unconscious to bringing her to the hospital, his hands trembled involuntarily the entire way.

Only he knew how scared he was.

Now, seeing her awake, Qian Bao suddenly felt a sense of rebirth.

As if he had suddenly gone from hell to the mortal realm.

Looking at the water he held, Qian Bao gazed through the window on the ward’s door at Zhao Jingmiao lying asleep on the bed inside.

Perhaps there are some things he can’t shrink back from anymore.

From the hotel to the hospital, although the time wasn’t long, it felt like the longest moment of his life.

He knew he was afraid.

He didn’t dare imagine what would have happened if Zhao Cai hadn’t chosen him but someone else.

Qian Bao thought he would have surely gone mad.
