The ward next to Kevin’s was quiet. And Kerry appeared in Kevin’s ward again.
“Big brother, you can go back now. I’m fine. I think I can leave hospital tomorrow.”
Kerry was still worried. He said: “I’ll be here for you.”
Kevin laughed dryly and said: “Big brother, I’m not a kid anymore. You don’t need to be here. Please go
back home now.”
Kerry was silent for a few seconds, and then he said: “Fine. I’ll ask Henry to stay here. If you need
anything, just tell him.”
“I know.”
......
The sun had set and darkness fell. Kevin got off his bed, rubbed his temples, and opened the door to
the ward next to his.
Venus’s ankle was killing her. She couldn’t get comfortable on her bed. She felt uncomfortable when
sitting, and she felt uncomfortable when lying.
“Are you not feeling well? You look pale.” Kevin asked.
Venus looked up, and saw Kevin, her life savior.
“Kevin, thank you so much for saving my life.” Venus said. She knew if Kevin didn’t help her, she would
be dead at that time.
Kevin got seated on a chair beside a window and said smilingly: “You are welcome. You also saved my
life once, remember? What happened to your leg?”
Venus rubbed her swollen ankle and said sulkily: “Xinyou just pushed me, and my ankle was sprained.”
Kevin then said to his guard: “Call a doctor for her.”
The guard walked out. Venus suddenly remembered what Kerry said earlier. Her brow furrowed and
she asked: “Kevin, did you see what happened?”
Kevin nodded and said: “Yes, I did.”
Kevin was standing not far from them. So he saw everything clearly. He knew how did Xinyou push her,
and he saw where did that car come from.
Venus froze for an instant. She was so confused. She asked: “Then why didn’t you tell Kerry what
happened? Why did you help Xinyou and make that lie?”
Kevin looked at Henry, who was standing at the door, and lowered his voice, and said: “You silly girl.
There is no way we can make everyone realize what kind of person Xinyou is with this one incident.”
“What? So you are not on Xinyou’s side?”
Kevin smiled. “I would never degrade myself by allying with people like her. You misunderstood me.”
Venus got excited in an instant. She moved closer to the edge of the bed, and asked: “So, what do you
mean just now? Do you have any other way to hold her accountable?”
“Sure. But this is not a good time. Don’t worry. Xinyou won’t be happy for long. When the time comes,
I’ll make her regret bitterly for these terrible things she did.
Venus felt a gush of happiness came over her. Tears brimmed in her eyes, because it had been such a
long time since she was treated so kindly.
Kevin saw her tears. He found it rather amusing. He asked: “Why are you crying?”
Venus dried her tears. And her eyes became so clear. She said: “Nothing. I was just touched. Thank
you, Kevin.”
“You don’t need to thank me.”
Venus sighed. She said: “I have changed so much. I don’t even know who I am now.”
Kevin asked: “In which way did you change?”
Venus said helplessly: “So much has changed. I was once a carefree girl. I was adored by my parents,
and I was protected by my big brother. Everyday I read the books I like, and go to the class with the
person I love. Life was so easy and so wonderful. But now, my parents passed away, my big brother
disappeared, my husband is cheating on me, and even my best friend now wants to kill me. I am also
changing, and I have changed beyond recognition. I become suspicious, and I become vicious......”
Kevin interrupted. He said: “You think you are vicious? Venus, you are labeling yourself unfairly. Xinyou
is the one who is vicious. You are only getting tougher than before, and you should be getting tougher
than before considering what has been happening to you, or you will only be bullied, be used, and be
trampled. I believe whatever have you become, you always have a kind heart.”
Kevin could strongly relate to Venus’s feeling. Because he felt he also had changed from an optimistic
young person to a cunning schemer who was always hatching plots.
Venus found what he just said heartwarming.
At that time, a doctor came in and checked her ankle. Venus was in so much pain, and her eyes were
once again moist.
“You sprained your ankle. I will give you some medicine to improve the circulation.” The doctor said.
Improve the circulation? Venus suddenly remembered she was pregnant. She said: “Doctor, can you
give me another kind of medicine? I’m pregnant, so I don’t think I can use the medicine that improves
the circulation.”
The doctor was surprised. He looked at her and said: “Miss, are you really pregnant?”
Venus nodded. “Yes, I am two-month pregnant.”
The doctor’s brow furrowed. He asked: “Do you have a stomachache?”
Venus rubbed her belly and said: “No.”
“That’s weird. You fell so heavily on the ground and you don’t feel a thing? You can lose your kid very
easily during the first three months of your pregnancy. Besides, you don’t look like you are pregnant.”
The doctor looked at her and advised: “ Miss Mu, I think you should have another ultrasound scan.”
Venus’s eyes sparkled. She said: “Doctor, you are saying that maybe I am not pregnant?”
The doctor was surprised by her reaction. Because normally, women always feel sad when they found
out they are not pregnant. So why is she so happy. The doctor thought.
“I am just guessing. Have an ultrasound scan first.”
Venus was so excited. She said: “Fine, fine. I will do it now.” Then she wanted to get off the bed.
