: Gratitude and Guilt


    Sally looked at ine and dared not to say anything else.


    At nightfall, ine slowly became herself again.


    She washed her face andbed her hair. When she walked out of the bathroom, she could already


    squeeze out a pale smile.


    “Sally, do I look like a patient being like this?”


    Sally looked at ine in shock. She felt utterly embarrassed now.


    She didn’t look like a patient but a ghost!


    Her face was swollen, and her eyes were as big as copper bells. She could only see through a thin


    gap. She looked hideous!


    “ine, I would suggest that you should not go out at night.”


    So as not to scare passers-by...


    ine froze for a minute and then said with a bit anger, “What? Aren’t you being dramatic?”


    Sally grinned and was still worried. She asked tentatively,


    “ine. As for Emmett....you don’t feel sad anymore?”


    ine froze, and then lowered her head, muttering,


    “I do feel sad...But, I can’t just cling to the sadness for my whole life. I, I don’t really like him. I just... feel


    angry and sad about being cheated and yed by him. It’s true. I really don’t like him. I like my


    Mark...Anyway, what’s happened has happened. I finally know him as who he is. I have cried enough.


    Starting from now, I don’t know anyone who is named Emmett Smith anymore. He doesn’t exist to me


    any longer.”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    ine kept telling herself these. But then she felt her nose tingle again, so she rubbed on her nose in a


    hard way.


    ine, you can’t make a habit of crying!


    You must be tough!


    Sally froze and then smiled.


    “You are truly our tough ine. You are so resilient. Then I should rest myself!”


    ine faked a smile, “Rx. Don’t worry about me. I am fine! By the way, after what had happened to


    me, you didn’t even tell Hazel?”


    “I did. But the call didn’t go through to her. I called her when you checked into the hospitalst night.


    Her phone was dead. I couldn’t find her.”


    “What? Her best friend was in hospital, and she didn’t evene visit! I am so angry! Let’s go find her


    and make her pay. Let her treat us with a feast!”


    ine tried to make herself look happier. She tried to behave naturally. So her smile was quite


    exaggerated.


    But she didn’t know how stiff her smile was to other people.


    Her smile was even uglier than her sad face.


    This was how ine looked like right now.


    Sally thought about something and said, “ine, Master Young left before and didn’te back. The


    way he looked wasn’t good. He seemed very sad. How about you call him and ask what’s wrong with


    him. After all, he has always been around and helping you. He even arranged this hospital for you and


    paid for your medical treatment.”


    ine sighed. She remembered vaguely why Oliver left before.


    ine nodded and took out her phone, dialing Oliver’s number.


    Actually, when she saw this new phone bought for her by Emmett, her heart was already hurting, which


    couldn’t be controlled by her.


    It turned out that, when the heart was hurting, it couldn’t be controlled by its owner.


    Just like now. ine had alreadymanded her heart to stop thinking about someone specifically.


    But her heart just kept doing it by itself.


    And when the heart thought about him, it hurt like hell.


    Oliver stood alone on the rooftop to face the wind. He stood there for almost several hours. He looked


    like a sad statue now.


    Then the phone in his pocket rang. When he heard the love song, he came to himself again.


    That love song...It only rang up when someone specifically called.


    “Em?” Oliver couldn’t believe it. He looked at his phone.


    It was indeed ine! His darling!


    He was quite excited now.


    Because ine almost never called him.


    After other women knew the number of Master Young, they wished to call him hundreds of times a day


    or text him dozens of times to tell him how much they loved him.


    Only ine didn’t bother to respond to him and knocked him to a freezing zone.


    “Hello?” Oliver took in a breath and tried to make himself sound softer.


    “Oliver, where are you?”


    ine’s soft voice came into Oliver’s ears, which almost made him limp.


    “Me? I am on the rooftop to get some air. What’s wrong?”


    “Are you far from me?”


    “No, no. Of course not! I am very close to your ward! I will get you whatever you need!”


    Such a disgrace. He was Master Young. When did he ever grovel at a woman’s feet?


    He was like a dog who begged to run errands for her.


    “Oh, I see. Thene back. I want to check out of the hospital. I am fine now. I want to go home.”


    “Check out of the hospital? Why are you in such a hurry? How about you stay in the hospital for a few


    more days and wait until you arepletely fine?


    “No, I am really fine now. The doctor said I could check out too. It’s no fun being here. I want to go


    home.”


    “Oh, okay then! I will be right back.”


    Oliver answered to her quickly and then hung up the phone. He turned around immediately and run


    back.


    Bang! Because he was in such a hurry, he bumped into a ss door. It hurt so much that his face


    twisted due to the pain. He took in a deep breath.


    Then he threw away the cigarette in his hand, and strode along the passage in hospital.


    When he was walking, he stopped suddenly. He looked around and found a bathroom. Then he walked


    to it and looked into the mirror, sorting out his hair.


    Then he washed his hands carefully and walked to ine’s ward.


    Suddenly, he saw a young nurse who was chewing gum. He thought of something and walked to her.


    He smiled dazzlingly,


    “Beauty, do you have more chewing gum? Can you give me one pic?”


    The young nurse was surprised. When she raised her head, she saw a gorgeous face as pretty as a


    jade. Suddenly she blushed and her face got red.


    She stuttered, “Yeah. I have one more...”


    Oliver smiled, which made the young girl feel dizzy. Then he slowly reached his fair hand to her.


    The nurse went numb and put the chewing gum onto his soft hand. Her eyes were giving out light. Her


    mouth was slightly open. It was just a matter of time before she started dripping on him.


    Oliver peeled of the chewing gum and tossed it into his mouth, “Thanks.”


    Then he walked away.


    The young nurse was left alone in the passage to stare at his back.


    He couldn’t have ine smell the cigarette in his mouth, which would damage her impression on him.


    “Hi...” Oliver smiled unruly and pushed the door of ine’s ward.


    ine felt grateful for Oliver. She also felt like she owed him now.


    She was grateful that Oliver jumped into the sea to save her. Of course she knew that her mentioning


    Emmett in front of Oliver would hurt him. So she felt guilty too.


    ine tried her best to squeeze out a sunny smile for Oliver, “Where did you go? I don’t have many


    drivers at my disposal now. Let’s go. I don’t want to stay any longer in this hospital. It is too dull.”


    Oliver stared at ine in trance and her heartbeat was racing.


    It was an uncontroble chemical reaction.


    His little darling didn’t need to do anything for him. She just needed to give him a little sunshine, then


    he would be able to bloom himself.


    “Haha. Okay. I would very much like to be the driver of my little darling. Only for you! Come on, let’s go.


    We will check out of the hospital. It’s too dull. Let’s go home.”


    Oliver was happy and walked to ine. He held her shoulders and bent down, kissing her on her


    cheek.


    Sally pursed her lips and turned away immediately, pretending to not have seen it.


    ine blushed and rubbed on the ce which was kissed by Oliver. She red at him with rage.


    Oliver grinned and stuck his tongue out. He said quietly, “I’m so sorry. I wasn’t supposed to do


    that...How about you make me pay for it and kiss me twice?”


    “You are so chatty! Come on, let’s check out!”


    ine was shy and hit Oliver with resignation. Then she walked out of the ward.


    Sally and Oliver looked at each other. Sally grinned and said quietly, “Come on! You can do better than


    that!”


    Oliver let out a bad smile and said quietly, “I will do better next time! And make ine my girl. Haha.”


    The atmosphere was nice.


    Oliver felt like he had infiltrated into the enemy. He happily apanied ine with Sally. They were


    at ine’s both sides respectively. Then they walked out of the hospital.


    Marina held the remote control of the TV in her hand, and kept changing channels. She was so bored


    and secretly looked at the man beside window from now and then.


    She was impressed by him.


    He insisted to apany her in this wardst night and slept on another bed.


    She asked himst night why she had to stay in hospital now that she was fine.


    He barely wanted to talk and just put it simply, “You must.”


    And today, he left the business inpany behind and insisted to stay in this ward. But he said nothing


    to her. He just stubbornly stood beside window and looked out.


    Like a statue.


    Nobody could have done it without physical strength.


    “Mr. Smith, why are we still in hospital?”


    Marina couldn’t help herself anymore and asked the question again.


    “Call me Emmett.” Emmett said inly.


    Marina smiled coldly, “Are you serious? Nobody else is here. Do we really have to continue our


    performance?”


    Actually, Marina prayed in her heart that Emmett would say,


    “Marina, actually, I am into you too. I hope our rtionship can keep being like this.”
