Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 582 A Vengeful Act

“Yozan!” Cecelia exclaimed as she rushed over to him.

She quivered with fear when she felt the back of his head. Her palm had been dyed red.

Though she repeated his name a few more times, he didn’t respond at all.

“What should I do…” Cecelia was so overwhelmed that she couldn’t think straight. All of a sudden, a hand pressed down on hers and a weak voice called out, “Help me call 911.”

Cecelia smacked herself. Hang on. We’re right outside the hospital! Why would I need to call 911?!

She looked around and spotted a doctor in the distance, so she immediately walked up to him and tugged his sleeve to get him to follow her. “Doctor! There’s an injured person over there. Come quick!”

The doctor was startled and confused but he followed her anyway. He only realized the severity of the situation when he saw Yozan slumped under the tree.

He quickly called a few people over and they brought Yozan to the emergency room.

Throughout Yozan’s treatment, Cecelia remained on the side with a look of guilt.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to push you.”

“I know. It’s fine,” Yozan responded evenly with an unreadable expression.

“I…”

Cecelia felt remorseful, so she softly asked, “What can I do to make it up to you?”

“Marry me,” Yozan replied.

Cecelia was struck dumb. She didn’t respond. It was clear that she was displeased by his answer.

“Just stay here and take care of me.”

This option was… a little more bearable.

“Fine. Since I’m the reason why you got hurt, I’ll look after you for the time being while you’re at the hospital.”
