novelxo Chapter 199: I Didn't Agree to Be with You
The nurse cleaned up the wound, wrapped it in gauze and told Yayoi not to wet it.
Yayoi thanked the nurse and left the nurse station.
Yayoi slowly walked along the long corridor, which had dazzling lights, towards Rosiley.
Thinking that Maddox was still in the ward, Yayoi was reluctant to go back. But she couldn't leave just like that, otherwise, Rosiley would suspect her motive. Yayoi was about to reach the ward when someone opened the door and walked out.
It was Maddox.
Yayoi paused, subconsciously intending to turn around.
"Yayoi." Maddox stopped her.
Her back stiffened. Clenching her hands, she suppressed her nervousness. Then, she looked up at him coldly. "What's the matter, Mr. Shen?"
Maddox did not answer her. Instead, he walked closer. He swept across the gauze wrapped around her hand with worries.
"Why are you so careless?" He asked softly.
His tone was very gentle. Yayoi was in a trance for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She then said coldly, "If there's nothing else, I'll go inside to keep Rosiley company." As she walked past him, her wrist was suddenly grasped.
The next second, she fell into a warm embrace.
"Maddox, let go of me." She struggled.
"I won't let you go." Maddox hugged her tightly.
If she weren't under the current circumstance, she would have called for help.
She could smell his pleasant scent. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red. Maddox couldn't promise her the love she wanted, but he kept pestering her like this. How could he be so unreasonable? She sniffed, forcing herself to calm down. Then she sneered, "Mr. Shen, isn't it disgraceful of you to pester me like this?"
"Lenjoy doing it." He answered mischievously.
Yayoi was annoyed. "Maddox, don't go too far.'
Maddox looked down at her angry expression, which was attractive. He smiled, "Yayoi, I will break off my engagement with someone else. Promise to be my girlfriend, okay?"
Yayoi was shocked that he would call off his engagement. "Are you crazy?"
"No, I'm not. Rosiley was right. This is my life, and you can make me happy. I want to fight for it."
Maddox thought that she would be touched. Unexpectedly, she only asked calmly, "Does Rosiley know?"
"Yes, she does."
"Fuck!" She cursed, pushed him away, and ran into the ward.
Rosiley, who was reading the book, heard the sound of hurried footsteps and looked up. Seeing Yayoi running in, she closed the book with a gentle smile. "What's wrong?"
Yayoi ran over to her and gasped. "You already know?" she asked tentatively.
Rosiley understood what Yayoi was asking, so she smiled and nodded. "Yes, I do."
"Damn it!" Yayoi cursed in a low voice in frustration.
"Don't you want me to know?"
Yayoi was quite annoyed, as if it was a serious consequence that Rosiley found it out.
Yayoi bit her lips and shook her head. "No, it's just..."
Yayoi didn't know what to say. In fact, she was embarrassed at what had happened, and she didn't deliberately hide it from Rosiley.
Rosiley had known Yayoi for so many years. Thus, she understood Yayoi well.
Rosiley gently looked at her. "Yayoi, I understand your concerns. So, you don't have to feel ... embarrassed or anything."
Rosiley's understanding moved Yayoi. "Thank you, Rosiley."
Rosiley smiled. "Please don't go to so much trouble about me."
When Rosiley saw Maddox walk in, she raised her eyebrows and said to Yayoi, "Yayoi, it's really lucky to meet someone who loves you and you happen to love him. If you don't seize this opportunity, how can you know if you will stay together with him for the rest of your lives? So, follow your heart, and you won't be regretful."
Yayoi bit her lips and stood motionless.
She felt someone approaching her from behind, and she knew who it was.
"Rosiley, thank you." Maddox said to Rosiley with a smile.
Rosiley shook her head gently. "You don't have to thank me. If you dare to hurt Yayoi, then I won't let you off."
Maddox laughed, "I know."
Yayoi clenched her hands tightly and chuckled softly. Then, she turned to look at the man beside her dismissively. "Sorry, I haven't agreed to be with you."
As she spoke, Maddox instantly darkened his face. However, Yayoi ignored him and turned to look at Rosiley with a faint smile. "Rosiley, I don't love him, so it isn't lucky for me to meet him."
Yayoi walked over and picked up her bag. Then she turned and went to the door.
Seeing this, Rosiley lifted the blanket, ready to get out of bed to chase after her.
Rosiley let out a cry in pain, for she touched her surgical wound. Then she lay back down.
"Rosiley." Maddox cried out and hurriedly went up to check on her.
Hearing the commotion, Yayoi stopped. She turned around and saw Rosiley clutching her stomach and twisting her face. Yayoi was shocked and hurriedly walked over.
"Rosiley, what's wrong with you?" Yayoi asked anxiously.
Rosiley looked up at Yayoi. Pursing her lips, Rosiley said sadly, "You're angry with me."
Yayoi was surprised. "I'm not."
"Then why are you leaving?"
"I...." Yayoi glanced at Maddox on the other side of the bed and didn't say anything further.
Seeing this, Rosiley rolled her eyes and wailed, "My stomach hurts so much."
Yayoi was anxious and reached out to ring the nurse's bell.
Maddox stopped Yayoi. She looked up and saw him smiling. "Rosiley is acting."
Rosiley thought to herself. 'Damn it. Maddox, you are ungrateful. I want to help you, but you nail my lie."
"Are you acting?" Yayoi looked at Rosiley in doubt.
Rosiley smiled awkwardly. "Yayoi, I..."
Before Rosiley could finish, Yayoi's eyes turned red and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Yayoi, don't cry. I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you were angry with me, so ... so...." Rosiley hurriedly sat up straight and wiped Yayoi's tears.
Rosiley then angrily slapped Maddox a few times. "It's all your fault. It's all your fault. Why do you pester Yayoi?"
As Yayoi cried, Maddox felt very distressed. Even Rosiley scolded him like this. Thus, he felt extremely wronged. "Rosiley, is it wrong for me to like her?" "Yes." Rosiley snorted heavily. "You shouldn't fall in love with Yayoi."
Maddox didn't know what to say.
It was said that women were capricious. It was true! Just now, Rosiley promised that she would help him. But now, she turned against him. Yayoi couldn't check any longer and laughed out loud, tears still hanging on the corner of her eyes.
Seeing her smile, Rosiley heaved a sigh of relief.
