Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 1436

He was scared that if he saw Jiang Yao dying on the hospital bed, he would feel sad for her. His heart ached so badly that he considered shooting himself.

He was even more concerned that he would be met with her unpleasant and dismissive glance when she awoke.

He had been tormenting himself for the whole night. He even reasoned that it would be better if he fled to his death. What right did he have to survive if he was so ineffective?

“Am I injured, deformed, and unattractive? Or am I paralyzed? Is that why you no longer desire me?” Jiang Yao made a faint pout. Her eyes were damp from tears as she gazed at him, ranting about how he did not stay by her side as she slept.

“I expected you to be the first person I saw when I awoke. But you went for a run instead!” Jiang Yao was like a little girl who was causing havoc for no apparent cause. She would have flipped over and hit the back of Lu Xingzhi’s head if it had not been for the ache in her body.

She knew he was punishing himself by jogging all night because of the sorrow and self-hate in his heart and that he was employing such a strategy to clear his thoughts, but she feigned not to know that.

Lu Xingzhi finally recovered his voice. “No, my Yaoyao is gorgeous, no matter what.”

His heart was pounding in his chest. She might still be coquettish and even throw tantrums at him. She did not despise him, and she did not loathe him either.

“I am sorry, Yaoyao…”

Lu Xingzhi drew her into his arms and took her hand in his palm. “There will not be a next time. I was so terrified that I thought I might have a heart attack.”

“I see that your heart is fine. Zhou Weiqi said that you ran for seven hours without stopping, and the rain did not stop either. You’re pretty good! Are you planning to take advantage of my illness to show off your charm and physical strength in front of those young nurses and then hook up with a new wife?”
