After a series of examinations, the doctor confirmed Li Yue’s greatest fear. Mo Li won’t be able to walk again. Guilt hammered inside her as she stared at Mo Li’s paralyzed legs.

  "That’s alright." Mo Li smiled. "With the current technology these days, that is actually not a problem. Plus, I can still travel with you. I have a private plane and a yacht. With my money, comfort should not be in question." He smiled at Li Yue as he held her hand. He didn’t miss the guilt that flashed in her eyes. "Alright…… stop giving me that look. As long as you marry me, consider us even." There were no traces of sadness in his eyes as she stared at her.

  Li Yue smiled. "You just woke up, and you are already talking about marrying me." This time, her expression didn’t show a tinge of pretense.

  "I already sacrificed my legs for you. Should I give up now after doing all that?" He raised an eyebrow. Mo Li was already planning to retire anyway, it should not be a problem if he won’t be able to walk. He gave her a sly smile.

  Li Yue slowly stroked his hand and nodded. "Alright." She uttered.

  "Really?" A chuckle escaped his lips.

  "Hmmm."

  "Then good. You don’t have to worry about emotions. We can always cultivate it later." It took him years to realize that what he felt for Li Yue was love. It took him months to realize that the anger in his heart was a mechanism to cope with how much he missed her. In his mind, Li Yue will also realize it soon. Love takes time and he has all the time in the world to wait.

  "I know." She stared at his eyes. The sadness and pain had now vanished. "Stop smiling like that."

  "What? You think I don’t look good when I smile? Should I pout like this?"

  She chuckled in response before she shook her head. "Stop playing around. Shouldn’t we think about Lizzy Lu right now?"

  "Oh? They haven’t found her yet?"

  "Unfortunately, no." She shook her head.

  "Then…… let them find her. I am not thinking about something like that now. Especially now that you just agreed to marry me." Once again, he beamed before he heard his stomach grumble. He immediately gave a peal of awkward laughter. "I guess I’m hungry?"

  "Oh. I will prepare the food." Li Yue immediately brought the food that was specifically prepared by the hospital for Mo Li. "Here." He used a portable table and placed it on top of his bed.

  "Feed me."

  She raised an eyebrow and complied.

  "You are being too obedient, it’s scaring me." He said after he sipped the soup from the spoon. "You’re not planning to leave me, right?"

  "Why the hell would I leave you? Plus…… it’s not like I can leave. Your uncle and aunt would probably kill me." Li Yue said as a smile became apparent on her face.

  "Did my father and brother came?" he asked. In response, she shook her head.

  "No. Your Mo Family’s lawyer came though, only asking if you are still alive." Of course, the lawyer didn’t ask that, but that was clearly the gists of his inquiries.

  "That’s expected." He just smiled. "Don’t worry about them. They can’t stop our marriage. Hey…… how about we marry each other today?"

  "Can’t." Li Yue said. "My papers are not here. Let’s do it tomorrow."

  "Oh?" Her words immediately surprised him, a tinge of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. "Tomorrow?"

  "Hmmm."

  For some reason, her smile was not enough to assure him. He immediately wondered what this woman was planning again. "If you run away…… I will find you." His tone had a hint of warning. "Even if you go to the desert, I will still find you."

  She gave an awkward laughter, her eyes sparkled as she shook her head. "I am not running away. I will stay."

  He narrowed his eyes, his lips thinned. "You better stay."

  Li Yue nodded and continued feeding him. "After this…… I want to sketch your handsome face." She suddenly said.

  "Hm?" Mo Li raised an eyebrow. For some reason, he couldn’t calm his heart. He felt that something ominous is going to happen soon, and couldn’t help but wonder if this has something to do with Lizzy Lu or…… is Li Yue planning something? "You want to sketch my face?"

  "Yeah…… consider it a wedding gift. As you know, I have no money and……" Seeing the look on Mo Li’s face, Li Yue laughed, her eyes turned crescents. "I am kidding."

  Seeing her sincere eyes, Mo Li tried to calm his heart and responded with a warm smile. "Alright. I will permit you to sketch my face but…… never sell it to someone else, alright? I remember when you took a picture of me while I was sleeping and�� "

  "Hey…… you are making it sound as if I am a terrible person!"

  "You are a terrible person. I don’t need to emphasize that." He rolled his eyes.

  "Terrible persons don’t feed other people." She pouted and turned her head away, looking extremely cute.

  Seeing this, Mo Li chuckled. "Being cute doesn’t look good on you."

  Li Yue only glared at him as she held the spoon near his mouth.

  "Aw! That’s hot!"

  "Terrible people don’t blow other people’s soup." She rolled her eyes.

  "If I am not injured, I would kiss you. Aiya…… I think saving your life has its consequences after all." Mo Li smiled. "Now…… feed me. I am hungry." Li Yue smiled and shook her head in response. Yes, every action has its own consequences.

  She smiled and fed Mo Li. Despite Mo Li’s pale face, he smiled and talked as if a bullet didn’t hit his spine a few days ago. His eyes sparkled, lips tugged upward into a smile as he held her hand and started talking about the wedding, their wedding the next day.
