Crimson Instinct - Chapter 248

Rodey gritted his teeth. “I don’t have to explain anything to you. I do whatever I want to do. I felt like betraying, so I did! It’s got nothing to do with you, so get off your high horse.”

Ying Yue calmly said, “I won’t. Maybe I wouldn’t have told you this if I hadn’t known your feelings, but now I do.”

“It’s a mistake! I was just overwhelmed, so don’t get it to your head, dumb woman.”

“But you didn’t do everything before that feeling overwhelmed.”

Rodey wanted to bang his head on the wall.

Why is she so adamant? Is she crazy? Doesn’t she understand the situation?

I just told her that I would go to jail, so why is she so persistent!

“Alright, I am pissed off now. Get out! Didn’t I say not to show your face until you gained 7 kgs? So get out.”

Ying Yue slowly kept her hand over his. “Rodey. You don’t have to think about me. I know, and I understand what is going to happen next. I will wait-”

“Wait?”

Rodey chuckled and burst into laughter. “You will wait for me? Oh, how touching. You made me cry. I don’t need baggage like you waiting for someone like me. And I already told you that you heard it wrong. I didn’t confess or anything. It was a mistake.”

Her gaze dimmed. “Don’t say that it was a mistake.”

Rodey narrowed his eyes. “You are getting out of hand, babe. Don’t cross your limits. Did you forget what happened to those women who asked for a relationship from me?”

He leaned in and chuckled in amusement as he brushed a thumb on her cheek. “They die. You saw one die right before your eyes, didn’t you? And come on. Didn’t you just have a tearful reunion with your mother? You want to die so soon?”

Ying Yue blinked her eyes. “Alright. Then kill me.”

Rodey’s brow twitched.

She held his hand and put it on her neck. “Go ahead. Kill me.”

Silence.

“What happened? Strangle me. I am annoying you, am I not?”

His jaw clenched, and if it had been somebody else, then he would have already choked the living daylights out of him.

To scare her a bit, he pressed her neck a little. She was definitely feeling breathless and uncomfortable, but she didn’t move an inch. She didn’t resist.

She calmly let him strangle her that made him infuriated than ever.

Rodey took back his hand and yelled. “Get out! I said, get out right now.”

Ying Yue looked at him and softly said, “Rodey. I am not asking for a relationship.”

He shot a deadly glare at her. He felt unbelievable. “So, why are you wasting your time here and making me mad?”

“I…I just want to know your feelings. It’s fine if you don’t wish to have anything to do with me. It’s fine even if we are not in a relationship. I just want to hear you say that you like me too once more.”

Rodey clenched her jaw hard. “Then what was that crap about waiting for me? Who would go that far if you are not in any relationship? Why would you give your blood to save me if you are not expecting one! Do you take me as a fool!”

Ying Yue frowned. “It’s my time. I will decide if I want to wait for you or do something else. It’s my blood. It’s up to me whether to give someone in need or not. I am not doing these things in return for you agreeing to date me. I don’t want to force you.”

Rodey was speechless.

“Then what the hell are you doing right now?”

“I just want to listen to those words again you said back in the building. Is it that difficult to say it?”

His mouth twitched.

“I just want to hear you say that you love me. And I know you do. You thought you would die that time, so you won’t have to face it again even if you confessed.”

Bingo!

“But now you are alive and more than being angry, you are just embarrassed to say it aloud.”

Rodey laughed angrily. “You think you understand me more than me now?”

“I think I finally understood the difference in your attitude just before you passed out and now.”

Rodey felt tired.

Ying Yue thought of something. “You know, 27 percent of-”

“Don’t give me those statistics!”

Put me into jail already! He cried to himself.

She shut up.

He leaned back on his pillow and rubbed his forehead. He lost all his strength to argue.

The will of this woman is…

“I want to rest. Get out.”

Ying Yue didn’t move.

He smiled. “Weren’t you eating my head that I should rest?”

“Yes.”

“Great. Your presence here is making me uncomfortable, angry, and a lot of different emotions that a patient shouldn’t be feeling instead of resting.”

“…”

“You would be the cause of me not recovering not soon enough because honestly, you are being a bother now.”

“…”

“And your tasteless food has put me in a bad mood already.”

“…but you ate all of it.”

“I was being polite to the food.”

“…”

Ying Yue slowly got up.

I will have more chances. I will definitely hear him confess sooner or later. I should let him rest now.

“Take care. I am outside if you need any help.”

Rodey chuckled. “I would rather call a sexy nurse to tend to me, babe. Aren’t hospitals just for that?”

She blinked her eyes. “I will come with her and see to it that you don’t do any such thing.”

Rodey punched a fist on the bed. “What! How dare you stop me?”

Ying Yue nodded. “I will visit you again later. Till then, take a lot of rest and be ready for our next conversation. I hope you would have changed your heart by then and come out with the truth.”

Ready for the next conversation?

Why is saying it like it’s a freaking war?

She promptly left his ward.

“Hey! Come back here! Say that again. Like hell, you can stop me from doing what I want! Come back here!!!”
