Chapter 569: Panic

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mei Shu couldn’t help but shiver all over, and when she looked down at the black box in her hand, she felt an icy chill that made even her fingertips ache slightly.

“I can’t accept it.”

She wanted to continue refusing.

But Lu Si asked with a melancholy expression before she could, “Did my mother really say that back then?”

The woman nodded with a smile, “Of course, just let your girlfriend take it. This is also a heartfelt gesture from your mother in the past. Now that she sees you’ve found such a good girl, if she’s in heaven, she can rest assured.”

With the conversation reaching this point, if Mei Shu continued to refuse, it would be impolite and might also arouse Lu Si’s suspicion.

She pursed her lips, and then, with trembling lips and lifeless eyes, she said, “Thank you, Auntie.”

“Don’t mention it. I have friends to attend to as well. I won’t disturb you two. Let’s have dinner together another day.” The woman said, casting a deep glance at Mei Shu before gracefully leaving.

Her dress today was truly beautiful.

The trailing hem shimmered, making her look like a princess. Even if she wore it at a wedding, she would be the most beautiful bride.

The emotions swirling in Mei Shu’s heart were too complex. She couldn’t even distinguish how much resentment and bitterness were hidden in those emotions.

Now she finally understood the root cause of that nightmare.

“Mei Shu, you’ve been acting strange since just now. What’s wrong with you?” Lu Si, somewhat worried, touched her forehead. “Why are you suddenly so hot? Are you feverish?”

Lu Si, feeling annoyed at himself for not noticing earlier that Mei Shu was ill, hastily lifted her up and hurried out.

No one dared to stop Lu Si throughout the entire party. The others could only watch their affection from the sidelines.

Their gazes were filled with shock, envy, and strong jealousy.

In the distance, the woman was chatting elegantly with someone, her gaze seemingly drifting towards them.

Mei Shu was too lazy to discern what emotions lay beneath her eyes.

Right now, she just felt extremely exhausted.

Mei Shu closed her eyes slightly, leaning tirediy on Lu Si’s shoulder, allowing her consciousness to gradually become muddled.

Since her rebirth, she had been living very comfortably, seeing through many things, and her way of dealing with people had changed accordingly, making her feel more at ease in life.

But only today did she realize that the nightmares of the past still haunted her.

The suffering she had experienced would not disappear just because she chose to ignore it.

She thought that by taking revenge on those who deserved punishment from her past life, she could find liberation.

But until this necklace appeared again, she realized that she might never be able to escape from that nightmare.

It was a fear ingrained in her bones, a fear that made her tremble at the mere thought of looking back.

“Mei Shu, hold on a little longer. We’re almost at the hospital.”

A worried voice seemed to be trying to pull her out of the quagmire.

But Mei Shu chose to continue sinking.

She couldn’t escape.

It was useless.

Even if she were to start over again, she would still walk towards the same doomed end.

Hadn’t the system warned her long ago?

The life she had stolen was also nearing its end.

If that was the case, perhaps she shouldn’t let people continue to expect things from her.

“Mei Shu! Don’t scare me!” Lu Si carried her out of the car, running towards the doctor’s office.

There was a doctor he knew there, who was very skilled, and Mei Shu only had a high fever; she would definitely be cured.

“Lu Si.” Mei Shu miraculously regained some consciousness, slowly opening her eyes, her face even paler now.

“Mei Shu, you’re awake!” Lu Si held her hand tightly, his sharp eyes now filled with tears of urgency. “Doctor, how did she suddenly become so ill?”

She looked like someone on the brink of death, someone about to bid him farewell forever, fragile as if she could part from him at any moment.

An unprecedented fear lingered in his heart.

After carefully examining her body, the doctor pondered before replying, “She’s experiencing an acute outburst of internal heat. Did she experience any stimulation just now?”

“No.” Lu Si just finished speaking when he remembered Mei Shu’s abnormal reaction to the pearl necklace earlier and quickly said, “What should we do now?”

The doctor picked up the medical record and carefully wrote down a few medications, “First, go through the admission procedures, and later I’ll come and give her injections myself.”

“Okay.” Lu Si hurriedly picked Mei Shu up again.

Mei Shu weakly raised one hand, gripping his sleeve tightly, shaking her head feebly. “Forget it, there’s no need. I don’t want treatment.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Lu Si’s eyes reddened with urgency, running and saying, “You’re just feverish. After taking the medicine and injections later, your fever will go down, and you’ll be fine.”

“No.” Mei Shu mustered the last bit of strength, urging in a feeble voice, “Let me go home. I don’t have much time left to live..”
