Chapter 243: Awaken
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Su Tang woke up, she saw the white wall above her head and the strong smell of disinfectant.
Recalling the nightmare before she fainted, Su Tang couldn’t help but shiver. This movement caused her to touch the warm object by her hand, scaring her until her face turned pale. She suddenly jumped up from the bed and jumped to the ground.
The wounds on her body were suddenly torn open. She frowned in pain and squatted on the ground to carefully look at the figure by the bed.
Shi Man pursed her lips and looked at her trembling appearance. She stood up gently and walked to the side, afraid that she would scare her. “It’s me, Su Tang. Don’t be afraid. You’re in the hospital. You’re very safe.”
Su Tang suddenly stood up. When she saw Shi Man’s calm face, tears welled up in her eyes. “Manman!”
Shi Man quickly walked over and hugged her. She patted her back comfortingly. “It’s alright, it’s alright. I’ve already dealt with those people. Shi Jing has also been arrested. No one can hurt you now.”
Su Tang cried like a pear blossom. She hugged Shi Man tightly and refused to let go.
Coincidentally, Yi Zheng walked in with the lunch box. When he saw the two of them hugging, he was slightly stunned. He placed the lunch box on the table and pursed his lips. “Eat first. I’ll call the nurse in for a physical examination later.”
Only then could Su Tang bear to get off Shi Man. She sobbed and sat by the bed. She lowered her head in embarrassment and said, “I’m sorry for causing trouble for Brother Yi.”
“Why don’t you apologize to Shi Man?” Yi Zheng’s eyes flickered as he hinted.
Su Tang blinked in confusion and said innocently, “Because Manman and I are best friends!”
Yi Zheng looked at Shi Man’s calm expression and smiled. “Alright, I was just teasing you. There’s no need to take it seriously. Let’s eat first.”
“Okay.” Su Tang obediently picked up the spoon and scooped a small spoonful of hot porridge. After blowing it cold, she slowly ate it.
Shi Man stared at her for a while and felt that her emotions were still stable. Then, she grabbed Yi Zheng’s sleeve and said, “Come out with me for a while.”
Su Tang immediately looked up at her, her eyes wet like a frightened deer.
Shi Man sighed softly. “Eat first. 1’11 be back after a few words.”
“Is it about me?” Su Tang blinked, put down the spoon, and grabbed her hand relentlessly. “Is there anything I can’t hear? Is it because the reason I was injured this time is too difficult to say, so you…”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Shi Man frowned and walked back to sit beside her. She pinched her hand and picked up the spoon again. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll go out after you have eaten okay? Don’t think too much. The doctor said that you only have superficial wounds. It’s nothing else.”
Su Tang lowered her head with a pale face. She had fainted too early that night and did not know what had happened behind her.
However, she was not a fool. She knew why Shi Jing had asked these people to come, so she could not help but overthink.
She even felt that she was too dirty and no longer had the right to return to school and walk with the clean Shi Man.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Su Tang couldn’t help but cry. The strong negative emotions almost drowned her, making her want to drown in her world and not return to her previous life.
Shi Man knew that she was thinking too much. She looked up and gestured for Yi Zheng to leave first. Then, she patted her back and took out a tissue to wipe her tears. “Tangtang, don’t cry. Nothing really happened to you. Before those bastards could do anything else, Yi Zheng and I found you.”
Su Tang looked up in a daze and sniffed. “Really? I really wasn’t…”
“No!” Shi Man replied seriously and firmly. “If they really did that to you, their outcome wouldn’t be as simple as being crippled.”
Last night, when she went to save Su Tang, those bastards even treated her as someone they could molest, making her feel nauseous. She was especially heavy-handed. Now, those people should still be receiving treatment in the hospital, but it was definitely impossible for them to recover their normal physiological functions.
This could be considered a small punishment for them. They had just lost an organ that they could not manage well. Shi Man had already been merciful by not taking their lives.
However, Shi Man did not intend to let Shi Jing off, including her family. She would not ignore anyone who might seek revenge on her for Shi Jing.
However, she would not tell Su Tang this, lest her fragile heart would be burdened again.
The most important thing now was to let Su Tang recover as soon as possible and return to school and normal life.
When Su Tang heard her words, she heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a relaxed smile. “Thank you, Manman. If not for you, 1 don’t dare to imagine what would have happened to me now.”
“I should be the one thanking you.” She tidied the stray hair on Su Tang’s temples and patted her face with a smile. “Thank you for not hating me after what happened.. Do you know that when you were unconscious, I was really afraid that the first thing you would do when you woke up would be to cut ties with me?”
