Chapter 338: Chapter 247: Sorry (Third Update) _1

She had already explained herself; she didn’t know if the other party would believe her, and hopefully wouldn’t suspect that she had ill intentions towards him, the patient.

It would be a misunderstanding then, as she was genuinely intending to help.

Ah, never mind! It’s already at this point, so what’s the point in overthinking it?

"Since you’re awake, I bought you some fever medicine. I’ll go fetch you some water to take it with." She turned and ran off to the corner without looking back, grabbed the Western Medicine, then dashed into the washroom. It could indeed be considered a hasty retreat without any hesitation.

Looking at her flushed face in the mirror, Yang Hao took a deep breath, then exhaled, repeating the process several times. After washing the cup in her hand with hot water, she left the restroom with an additional item— a towel, the type you use after running it under cold water.

Even though he was roused, his own vitality was still unstable. Looking at the anxious figure of the girl hurrying back and forth, his gaze still blurred. He remembered this girl, who should be the same one he bumped into outside. To his surprise, she hadn’t left - he had clearly stated that all he needed was a room.

Watching Yang Hao’s busy figure, for some reason, a slight smile appeared on Black Scorpion’s face. Shaking his head, he really wanted to get a clear look at this girl who was bustling about for him. For the first time, he had such an intense desire.

In his daze, the girl finally returned to his side.

"You’re awake. Here, take the fever medicine I bought you." Yang Hao handed over the pill, which Black Scorpion accepted subconsciously. It wasn’t fever, but for some unexplained reason, he didn’t want to refuse.

Without hesitation, he put the medicine in his mouth, accepting the warm water offered by the girl and swallowing it. At least, the water alleviated the dryness in Black Scorpion’s throat.

"Do you feel a little better?" Yang Hao asked instinctively, her clear eyes filled with concern.

"Yes." The low voice was still full of hoarseness, "I’m much better now, you can go." If she doesn’t leave, he has no idea what he might do to her next. He doesn’t want to hurt her.

Perhaps, it’s because he hasn’t encountered someone as genuine and kind-hearted as her in a long time. He can’t bear to hurt her.

"That won’t do." Unfortunately, Yang Hao refused without hesitation, unaware that danger was impending, "I’ll leave after your fever subsides a bit. Besides, I don’t have classes or anything to do this afternoon, I’ll just go home a bit later." No big deal anyway.

"You’re still a student?" So, she was that young; he remembered that when he was her age, his hands were already stained with blood.

"Yes." Yang Hao nodded with a gentle smile, "I am a sophomore at Ming City University. I got off classes early today, so I came home early. I didn’t expect to see you in the alley that I pass through every day." When she got to this point, Yang Hao paused suddenly, "Oh, I’ve been too engaged in our conversation!" Reluctantly, she looked at Black Scorpion, "You should lie down. I’ll help cool your forehead with cold water so the fever can recede faster."

Nervously clutching the towel in her hand, she realized it had gotten warm again. Hurriedly, she said, "You lie down first, I’ll go rinse it with cold water." Turning around, she ran back to the restroom.

His piercing gaze softened somewhat, no longer filled with murderous intent and severity.

Reaching Black Scorpion, she gently touched his forehead and laid down the cold towel, "You have a high fever, you should see a doctor."

"It’s nothing." His faint voice seemed to soothe; after a pause, Black Scorpion rarely initiated a conversation, "I remember, you were crying earlier." His mind was murky, but he managed to hear her crying. It was her, wasn’t it?

"You heard that." After hearing his words, Yang Hao smiled awkwardly, "It’s not a big deal, I was just dumped by my ex-boyfriend." As of now, she wasn’t heartbroken anymore. After all, it was just a man.

Despite her brave words, she couldn’t help but sigh.

"You’re a good person." Black Scorpion didn’t know how to console others. In the end, he simply said these three words.

In his eyes, the girl in front of him was a good person, clean and nothing like him, whose hands were stained with blood.

"Thank you." Yang Hao chuckled, her gaze warm; she didn’t expect him to comfort her, "I’m okay now."

At this quiet and comforting moment, Black Scorpion realized that the raging, chaotic energy within him seemed to have dissipated significantly. He pondered whether the fever medicine he had just taken was actually helpful?

But, just when Black Scorpion had this thought, he felt his energy becoming more chaotic than before, and the bloating pain in his lower abdomen felt like it was swelling up.

What’s happening?

Black Scorpion doesn’t know that the love potion Red Scorpion gave him has no antidote, except for a woman’s touch; but if he takes any other medicine before the love potion has completely dissipated, it would flare up in intensity. No matter how strong his willpower, it would be useless.

"Leave." His deep voice was agonizingly repressed. He can’t tolerate it anymore. If he doesn’t control himself, he will definitely hurt her.

He can’t do that.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing Black Scorpion suddenly looking distressed again, Yang Hao instinctively leaned in closer, "Are you okay?" There was pure worry in her eyes.

"Leave." It was no use, he really couldn’t control it anymore. The moment Yang Hao leaned in, Black Scorpion suddenly lunged forward. Everything was spinning, before she could react, Yang Hao found herself being pinned down by Black Scorpion. "You...umm..." Before Yang Hao could say anything,

With wide eyes, Yang Hao was utterly in shock.

What the hell is going on? Why?

She had absolutely no desire to be a heroine in a romance novel. She simply wanted to live a peaceful and ordinary life. What kind of day was today? Was it her unlucky day? Why is this happening to her!

Who is the girl in front of him?

"I might be an old acquaintance of yours." Mu Lin’s mouth curves into a cold smile, chilling to the bone. At this moment, Green Scorpion was lying on the ground, barely any bone left unbroken in his body to keep him standing.

Mu Lin couldn’t believe he actually did break every single bone in his body, and Green Scorpion was powerless to resist. Consumed by despair, he wanted nothing more than to die. Alas, even death itself seemed like a luxury for him at this point.

"I’ll check to see if there are any areas left untouched." After all, every part of him must be touched. If not, she would have let him down, especially considering how he was still being so defiant.

Sigh... This is a real headache. What to do now?
