Capítulo 1336: Chapter 1336: Extra Story of Du Fu 62
Du Lai raised his hand high, wishing he could slap her awake! But when he saw her tear-stained face, he couldn’t bring himself to do it!
Maybe she was right.
He did like her—liked her beauty, liked her arrogance, liked the enviable social class she represented, a world he could never reach. In a way, she symbolized wealth and fa. What man wouldn’t be tempted? But how much of this temptation and liking was genuine?
This kind of liking simply couldn’t sustain their relationship!
Suddenly, he felt that both of them were pitiful… He was pitiful, she was pitiful—they were both striving for what they could never have.
Du Lai released his hand and sat despondently to the side, leaning against the cold, hard wall, closing his eyes.
Fu Miaoxue remained in her original position, sobbing miserably.
No one spoke again that night…
…
In the latter half of the night, it started to rain, pattering softly.
Although the rain wasn’t heavy, the temperature suddenly dropped; by morning, it was still drizzling, and the sky was as dark as night.
Du Lai felt chills all over, instinctively seeking warmth, but when he tried to move, he realized he was completely weak, unable to even lift his head.
He knew he was probably ill.
For a mont, he regretted it—without fire, it was himself who suffered.
Yet he had always been healthy; he hadn’t gotten sick all the ti on the island. This ti, he’s likely sick from Fu Miaoxue’s anger.
That woman’s presence was unrelenting, and now that he was sick, she was murmuring by his ear: “Du Lai, wake up… What’s wrong with you? Don’t scare … Oh, please wake up… Wake up…”
He really wanted to say, stop muttering, it’s annoying.
But his throat made no sound, and even his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, unable to lift.
Drowsily, he drifted back to sleep, not knowing how long had passed before he felt cool water flowing by his mouth, seemingly Fu Miaoxue feeding him with a handful of water.
Du Lai thought to himself, she must be scared now. If he dies here, she’d only have a monkey to accompany her for the rest of her life.
Thinking about this, he sohow felt like laughing.
Surely his mind wasn’t clear… Even now, he wanted to laugh…
Du Lai felt weak in his body and spirit but heard Fu Miaoxue’s voice say muddily: “Du Lai, my grandpa is sending soone soon, hang in there, soone will co to rescue us soon.”
He thought: Thank goodness, that damn woman still has a bit of a conscience, unwilling to watch him die from illness.
Fu Miaoxue sobbed: “When we get back to the manor, you and Alice will stay with forever, okay? I won’t scold you anymore, won’t bite you, I’ll dress you in nice clothes, feed you delicious food, my ho has a particularly large golden cage, I’ll let you live in it, please get better, I’ll take care of you, boohoo…”
Du Lai: …
Damn.
This is not the outco he wanted.
…
His consciousness revived, Du Lai opened his eyes.
Realizing his body was recovering, his first thought was to check if he was wearing anything strange—thankfully, there was no collar, no handcuffs or dog leash, and no golden cage around.
Outside, would there be bodyguards standing guard?
He struggled to get out of bed, walked to the door, and before he could open it, a woman dressed in black opened the door and ca in, looking indifferently at him, “Mr. Du, you’re awake.”
Du Lai stopped in his tracks.
He recognized this woman; she was Fu Miaoxue’s butler, which ant they really were rescued! Fu Lisheng sent people to rescue them!
But what about Fu Miaoxue? Where was she?
The female butler handed him a card, saying blandly: “This is a token of Mr. Fu’s appreciation for your care of the young lady during this ti.”
