"You killed her..."
"It's your fault."
"She will always hate you."
"She will never love you."
"You will never have her."
"Murderer. Your crimes will never be forgiven."
"You killed her."
The voices around him grew louder and louder. He suddenly felt something wet and when he looked down, his body was stabbed by numerous knives.
A man stood in front of him, a man with his face, a man with his same height. The look on his eyes was cold and lifeless. "She will never forgive us."

After stitches and blood transfusion, Lu Yifeng was sent to the ICU.
By the time Lu Yifeng woke up, it was already morning. He passed out last night because of blood loss.
He was staring at the ceiling for a while. He dreamed of his past life again... But this time, there was something different in it.
Xia Meilin was sleeping on the sofa that was inside the private room. She was wearing the same clothes and she looks troubled in her sleep.
Soaked in immense terror and cold sweat, Xia Meilin abruptly opened her eyes. She felt her heart hammering out of her chest. She just dreamed of Lu Yifeng, covered in blood.
She got up from the sofa and walked toward Lu Yifeng. When she saw that Lu Yifeng was awake, she couldn't help but be relieved.
There's no way that something like her nightmare can turn out to be real, he's here, alive and well. She had that nightmare because of what happened last night.
"You're awake."
Lu Yifeng turned to her. He saw how red and puffy her eyes were, she must have cried so hard last night.
She held his hand with both hands, "Doctor said that your wound wasn't too deep. It was a good thing that the ambulance was able to come right on time to save you. I'm so sorry, Yifeng... I-If I didn't bring you to that place... this... this wouldn't have happened..."
"It's not your fault." Lu Yifeng squeezed her hand. "You're safe, that's all that matters."
She shook her head, her eyes becoming misty, "You... You got hurt..."
"Crybaby, come here."
"Crybaby your face!" Xia Meilin pursed her lips as she looked at him with tearful eyes. She quickly turned away from him and wiped her tears away.
His lips slightly curled up, "Come here, give me a hug."
A knock was suddenly heard and Su Lei entered the room. He brought some food with him, "I have brought the food."
"Thank you, Mr. Su." Xia Meilin took the takeout food that Su Lei brought before she went to Lu Yifeng.
"Boss, should I cancel all the appointments you have scheduled for today?" Su Lei asked as he stood and watch the couple eat.
"No. I will-
"You're not going to work today." Xia Meilin cut in. "Even if the doctor said that your wound isn't serious, you need to rest since you have lost a lot of blood last night. Besides, I don't want you walking around with a fresh wound on your body. You will only go back to work once you're fully healed."
"..." Lu Yifeng stared at his wife for a while before sighing in defeat. "Call Xian Yu, let him replace me for two weeks."
"Yes, sir." Su Lei went out of the room to make a call.
Even though Lu Xian Yu never tried to take over the family business, Lu Yifeng knows how responsible he was. That's why he wasn't worried about allowing his brother to replace him for a while. He believes that he can handle it.
"Yifeng... do you have any idea on who might do this to you?" Xia Meilin couldn't help but ask.
"No. The man was wearing a mask so I couldn't recognize him." But he was pretty sure that it must be one of those who are after his life. If it was one of those who is after Lu Xian Yu, then they would have tried to capture him instead.
This time, it was different. Whoever was behind the man was someone who is after his life. That man knew that Lu Yifeng was going to protect his wife that's why he used her against him.
Who could it be? Was it the Bai family? That could be possible but the Bai family is currently being watched by Lu Yifeng's grandfather. Other than the Bai family, there were a few people that Lu Yifeng knows who are after him.
Remembering her dream, Xia Meilin couldn't help but be scared and worried at the same time. She grabbed his arm, "We should have brought bodyguards with us last night. If we did, this wouldn't have happened to you. "
"You would be distracted by them. I wanted to have a normal date with you."
His words were making her cry but she tried her best to control her tears from spilling. "You're not allowed to leave me, okay?"
His eyes softened with her warm words, he leaned and placed a soft peck on her lips, "Don't worry, that is something I will never do to you."
