“Depressed?”
“Haven’t you heard?” he responded in disdain. “Recently, there’s been a political turmoil between Japan and South Korea. People have been opposing South Korea due to its deployment of THAAD1, so cultural exchanges between the two countries are kept under tight control.”
Yun Shishi expressed her pity. “No wonder you’ve been so cash-strapped lately.”
“After renting an apartment in the city center and buying a car, I don’t have much money left in my bank account.”
At that, she smilingly patted his shoulder and generously said, “Isn’t it just a Mercedes-Benz? I’ll give you one.”
“You’ll give me one?”
“Yeah! The latest E class AMG model.”
The idol awkwardly replied, “Nah, I don’t want it.”
She screwed her brows in response. “What?! I can clearly see the desire in your eyes! Isn’t driving a Mercedes-Benz men’s ultimate dream?”
Hua Jin snorted. “I don’t have such shallow dreams.”
“Then, what’s your ultimate dream?”
He shot a proud retort at her. “How can I just simply share my ultimate dream with others like that?”
Likewise, the miffed woman scoffed and snapped back, “Whatever. I don’t care enough to hear what you have to say even if you want to.”
The two people quibbled all the way as they made their way over to the nanny van.
...
At the hospital.
The mood inside the ward was stifling.
Lu Jintian’s agonizing screams, which sounded extremely hoarse and broken because of her damaged vocal cords, could be heard from time to time.
Lu Bosheng and his wife were utterly heartbroken as they stood outside the ward and watched the heart-wrenching sight of their daughter moaning in pain on the sickbed.
There were seven to eight doctors and nurses crowding around her sickbed; two were responsible for calming her down, while the rest were in charge of changing her dressings.
The process of changing dressing was extremely agonizing, and that torturous process nearly drove her insane.
She could not understand why, even though there was no surgical knife involved, the medication felt like it was slicing her flesh away each time it made contact with her wounds. It was as though she had been sentenced to death by a thousand cuts.
Her dressings had to be changed once every two days, with the process lasting a whole hour each time.
Each session, she would break into a cold sweat due to the pain and even harbored suicidal thoughts. If I have to live in such pain for the rest of my life, I might as well just end my life now!
Ever since the actress was rescued, she had been living in a constant nightmare, waking up every now and then from her sleep. In her trance, she could vaguely hear her mother sobbing away, her father chastising himself, and the medical staff sighing out of pity and helplessness for her.
‘Doctor, is there really no way that my daughter can restore her looks?’
‘We’ve done our best. Even the most advanced cosmetic technology can’t fix such a large surface area of burns.’
...
When she heard that heart-wrenching conversation, she thought, Why did they save me? Why didn’t they just let me die on that cold surgical table and let me end my agony-fraught life?
Unfortunately, she could not open her mouth, much less speak. If she ever had the chance to speak again, she would surely beg her mother and doctors to euthanize her.
I don’t want to live in such pain!
I don’t want to live so miserably!
When she finally opened her eyes, feeling all sober, she could sense herself lying ramrod straight on the bed. The excruciating pain from the wounds all over her body and her face, which was stiff due to the scabs, sent her, more than once, breaking down in tears and wanting to kill herself.
