Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 438: Chapter 438 Apology

"What, seeing me make things difficult for the woman you like, does it hurt?" Lin Mengyao’s tears flowed down her cheeks, but her expression was stubborn. Her heart was aching to death, yet she still tried to put on an indifferent facade, only her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

Xu Ke sighed, stepped forward, and hugged her in his arms; Lin Mengyao didn’t resist.

"You misunderstood. She’s not the woman I like. She’s someone I brought back from the airport today when I returned. I met her when her mother was trying to take her home to have her kidney removed to save her brother. She said she had been donating blood and bone marrow to him since she was little, so her health was never good. If they remove her kidney this time, she probably won’t wake up. She said she wants to live, so I brought her back. Besides, she’s still a school-going minor. Even if you think poorly of me, I wouldn’t lay a hand on a minor."

Xu Ke softly explained in Lin Mengyao’s ear, making Mengyao, unaware of the circumstances, blush with embarrassment. She even set aside the matter of being angry with Xu Ke over emotional issues, focusing instead on the words she had just uttered and the image of her pushing someone down with a wave of her hand.

"I didn’t know her health was so poor. I just misunderstood her and pushed her to the ground. I even said she was faking it. I was acting like I’d lost my mind and did so many wrong things. No, I need to go see her."

Lin Mengyao didn’t have bad intentions; she was just feeling suffocated because of an email from Xu Ke. When she saw Yu Xia, she assumed this was the person Xu Ke liked, and misplaced her anger. Now, knowing it was a misunderstanding, the first thing Lin Mengyao wanted to do was apologize for her rushed, hurtful words.

"I’ll go with you. I had a part in this too." Xu Ke wiped away the tear stains on Lin Mengyao’s face and spoke.

When they knocked on Yu Xia’s room door, Yu Xia, who was hiding in bed, shivered. She didn’t want to leave, so tears welled up in her eyes. "Yu Xia, you can’t be so unreasonable. If people don’t want you here, you must leave, understand? No matter how nice this place is, it’s not your home."

Yu Xia clutched her quilt and spoke softly to herself. Though her heart was full of sadness and apprehension, she dried her tears, put on a nonchalant face, and opened the door.

Xu, Sister-in-law Xu, do you have something to say to me?" At the door, Yu Xia didn’t dare to look up at them, nervously fidgeting with her fingers, anxiously waiting
