Chapter 37: Hypocrite

However, knowing that his presence bothered her caused him to feel shame . He lowered his head and decided to distance himself so she wouldn’t resent him .

Seeing that the boy didn’t speak, Lin Xin knew that he would leave in low spirits . Who knew that when he started to walk away, he suddenly turned around, looked up into her eyes and said, “Did you think I could leave you so far away?”

The young boy’s heart was as pure and clear as crystal, radiating a dazzling light in this dark and filthy world .

How could she not feel guilty?

Lin Xin restrained her inner impulse to comfort him . Instead, she raised her head slightly, looked up at Lin Xinyu with disdainful eyes and calmly said, “Not only do you bring me trouble, you’re also the reason I got hurt . Don’t you know why the Dean beat me?” She lifted her sleeves to expose her bruised, black and blue arms underneath the sunlight . “It’s all because of you that I got hurt . Do you think this can be solved just by you keeping a distance?”

At this point, Lin Xinyu could no longer deceive himself and avoid the issue . He actually understood her situation but he didn’t want to admit . She suffered because of him, but he was still trying to come up with an excuse to be close to her . He tried to convince himself that she needed him, but in the end, doing so would only put her in greater danger .

Lin Xinyu turned pale . He backed away two steps and accidentally b.u.mped into someone behind him . When he looked behind, it turned out to be the Dean .

The man patted his head and asked, “What’s wrong? It’s alright . ”

Lin Xinyu shook his head and tugged the Dean’s coat before saying, “My head hurts, is it okay if I take some medicine?”

The Dean said in a shaky voice, “You come with me and get medicine,” He took Lin Xinyu to his office and forgot all about Lin Xin .

Lin Xin’s clenched fist finally loosened . She knew that the Dean had been watching her from some dark place, and as expected, he came out after hearing her say those hurtful words . This was his hypocritical act of comforting the boy so he could present himself as a ‘good man . ’

Lin Xin couldn’t afford to be weighed down with sadness . Her most important goal right now was to recover her health . She ate the apple Lin Xinyu gave and walked around the courtyard two more times before returning to her room . After taking her fever medicine, she soon felt drowsy .

After sleeping for a whole night, she didn’t feel as bad as she did the day before, but she still felt heavily drowsy . Even after a good night’s sleep, she still wanted to fall back into bed . At this point, Lin Xin felt that something didn’t seem right . Based on her previous experiences when getting sick, even if her physical condition didn’t improve completely after several days of rest, her mind should at least be clear . But right now, she felt just the opposite .

Is something wrong? Could the problem lie with the medicine?

Lin Xin suspected that it was due to the anti-inflammatory medicine that she took orally once a day . When someone delivered it to her this time, she secretly hid the pill . After a day had pa.s.sed without taking it, she felt much more awake . ‘This must have been ordered by the Dean . ’

Lin Xin hid the medicine and continued to pretend to sleep all day since she was afraid that her enemy might suspect that she was simply pretending . Afterwards, the Dean came to check up on her a couple of times and saw that she continued to lay in bed . He also ordered his men to give her more food to show his concern .

Lin Xinyu didn’t come to visit her or give her any food during those times when she was resigned to her bed . A few days later, the Dean saw that she turned pale and even bled . He finally lowered his vigilance as he thought to himself, ‘A child is simply a child . Even if one tries to fight back, an adult would still know better . How could a child possibly win against an adult?

And Lin Xinyu hasn’t been following her *ss for a while now . Then I’ll just let her be . Anyways, it’s not like she’ll be able to live any longer for the next few days . ’
