Chapter 1240: Chapter 1240: His Heart’s Affliction Is Her Chapter 1240: Chapter 1240: His Heart’s Affliction Is Her “You should go back,” he continued to look out the window, not glancing at her.

Liu Qianqian stood up and said, “I won’t disturb your rest then. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.”

“Have Butler Fei arrange for someone to take you back.”

Liu Qianqian couldn’t help but show a smile, “Okay.”

She opened the door to leave and saw Jian Yufei sitting outside.

Glancing at her faintly, Liu Qianqian turned to Butler Fei, smiling, “Ruan has woken up, there’s nothing for me here, so I should head back.”

Butler Fei respectfully said, “I will arrange for someone to drive Miss Liu back.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Butler Fei arranged for a driver to take Miss Liu, he glanced at Jian Yufei, noting she sat still without any intention of going in to see the young master.

Thinking for a moment, he didn’t say anything and walked in.

He didn’t close the hospital room door entirely, and Jian Yufei, sitting outside, could hear their conversation.

“Young master, how are you feeling now?”

“I’m fine, proceed with the discharge procedures immediately, I don’t want to stay here.”

“It’s already quite late now, how about we have the doctor examine you tomorrow morning before you leave?”

Ruan Tianling paused before responding, “Okay, that will do. You can leave now.”

“Yes. I’ll be right outside, please call me if you need anything.”

Butler Fei respectfully left, closing the door behind him.

From beginning to end, he didn’t mention her name, as if they were two strangers, two parallel lines that had never intersected.

Jian Yufei lowered her gaze, she no longer held any expectations for how he might treat her…

Even if he decided to end her life right there, she probably wouldn’t hold any grudge.

“Miss Jian, you should go back and rest; I’m here to watch over the young master,” Butler Fei whispered to her.

Jian Yufei shook her head, “I’ll sit for a little while longer.”

Even if she couldn’t go inside to visit him, she wanted to be closer to him, to watch over him a while longer.

…

Dawn was gradually breaking.

To avoid letting Ruan Tianling realize she was outside, Jian Yufei left the hospital early and returned to Royal Garden.

After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she lay in bed planning to sleep for a while.

But she couldn’t fall asleep, closing her eyes only brought forth the scene of Ruan Tianling frantically slamming against the wall…

Mi Sha told her Ruan Tianling had a heart condition.

His heart condition was her… if she touched the most painful scar in his heart, it would trigger his illness…

Jian Yufei was confused; for him, was the divorce the most painful thing in his heart?

No, it wasn’t the divorce; it was her indifference.

Her indifference had deeply hurt him, someone so strong-willed, a testament to how much he must have loved her…

The deeper the love, the deeper the injury.

He said she ruined everything for him, and it wasn’t an exaggeration.

If it had been her, she would have crumbled even more.

Suddenly, Jian Yufei understood Ruan Tianling’s feelings; he hated her, just as she had once hated him…

But Ruan Tianling, even knowing how much you’re suffering and hating, I still can’t tell you the truth.

I’m too afraid you’ll get hurt, too afraid that things will spiral out of my control.

I’m sorry, please forgive my selfishness and cowardice… I’m sorry…

Jian Yufei closed her eyes, with tears continually slipping out.

From yesterday until today, she had cried for too long; now, even a single tear made her eyes ache.

Moreover, she felt as if her body had been hollowed out by tears.

She was so tired she didn’t even want to move a finger.

…

Unknowingly, Jian Yufei fell into a deep sleep.
