Chapter 290 - Jia Huang's Resolve

CHAPTER 292

It did not take him time to locate where the food was and went to get it.

Jia Huang placed the tray of food on the bed before helping her to sit up and rest her back against the headboard.

By the time he was pretty sure she was comfortable, he gave her water to drink first and slowly began to feed her while encouraging her to open up and eat.

"Hey, please you need to take your drugs. The pharmacist said it would help relieve your pain, so please eat up. Your body needs the food so you can have strength and it can better fight for you."

His words of encouragement was something to be admired. Yes she knew he was still trying to get into her good book but Yin Lifen knew that it was born out of genuine care for her.

He loved her no doubt but she could not change what has been done. He was wrong and he should know the severity of his actions. He did but not to the point she wanted.

He should know that even though he made a mistake, it cannot be changed so easily by a mere sorry. What made it worse was the fact that she felt so bad been used as the cheating tool.

She had [put herself in the girl’s shoes and knew she would not be happy to be cheated on that was why she wanted to luck her heart against him.

"Open up, Yin Lifen and eat please."

Yin Lifen blinked at him several times. She had been too carried away in her thoughts to realize that he already held a spoonful of food close to her lips.

"Please. I beg of you. I need you to be well. It hurts me to see you in this state of pain. Please, if not for my sake but for my love for you."

Yin Lifen was tempted to speak about what he just said but kicked against it and parted her lips to eat.

About thirty minutes later, she was done eating and so also was she done with the drugs.

Before ten minutes later, the pain had subsided and began to go down. No longer was it as sharp as it was when she felt it come.

"How are you feeling now?" Jia Huang asked after keeping the used dishes aside and washing his hands.

"Better. Thanks."

"Anytime. You should rest a bit. I would get a small napkin and soak in cold water. It would help with your temperature. Your body is a bit hot."

"Okay."

With that, he stood up and made his way to get what he needed.

By the time an hour had passed when she started eating, she was feeling a whole lot better than before and her anger had dissipated with her pains.

All she could think of was when they were together and the joy that came with it. By now, Jia Huang was half seated on the bed with her and rubbing the back of her palm to help soothe her nerves.

His brush and caresses were so tender that they made her forget her worries for some time.

’I love you, I love you. I love you, Aiden!’ Yin Lifen chanted in her mind but that was a chant she could not say out loud.

’I love him, I love him so much that it hurts,’ she began again as she stared into his eyes. ’My heart yearns for him to hold and hug me, kiss me with those lips but my mind knows it is wrong. What do I do?’

"Ava, my love..."

"Stop it, please." She shut her eyes and cover her ears with her hands. She did not want to hear anything about it.

’No more, please, Aiden. If you really love me then you would leave me alone.’

"Ava, please look at me. I am sorry I wronged you and my fiancé. I am a jerk and I know it. I do not deserve you, you deserve someone better but I beg of you, give me a chance to fix things in my life so that I can have you. Give me a chance to correct my wrong."

"I can’t."

"You can, Ava. Please. Before I met you, my life was nothing more than a bleak. I lived it without much care and when ni was told about my engagement for a business alliance, I did not think much to it as I had already given up on love."

"Aiden..."

"Please wait. Never in my life would I have imagined that I would fall in love after my engagement to someone else. Never would I have imagined it, I swear and so when nit happened, my fear resurface and the fear that I feared came through."

He half knelt on the ground in front of her like someone who was going to propose.

"If I had faced my fear, the fear that I feared would have feared me but I didn’t and now, I am losing you. Regardless, I do not want to lose hope and lose such wonderful thing we had. I want more. I want you, Ava. I want to spend my life with you. Please would you marry me?"

"What?!"

"Yes. Yin Lifen. I want to marry you." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

"Hell no!"

"Hell yes. If you are scared of my engagement, I would annul it. I wanted no part in it. I would make my family see reason."

"And what if they do not?"

"I won’t back down till they do." Yin Lifen could see the fierceness in his eyes. He was determined no doubt but she wasn’t sure if she was willing to go through all of that with him.

"Jia Huang, it isn’t simple. You haven’t dealt with family crisis before have you? It never is simple. And do not say you never signed up for this. You did unintentionally when you did not refuse their wish. You are every bit responsible for this engagement as they are. I want you to know that."

"I do. And that is why, it is my duty to fix it."
