Kill Me, Heal Me

Chapter 46 Care

Belle Ye stayed in the hotel all day and didn’t go out. She even forgot to have her meals. After Levi Song sent her here, he immediately left. Perhaps, because he didn’t get the answer he wanted from her, so he didn’t come back again. Moreover, Levi Song was a man. He must be busy. He wouldn’t spend his time with her.

But, she shrugged it off. She and Levi Song were not familiar with each other. He was kind enough to help her just now. Besides, she didn’t want to drag him into the eye of the storm. Before, she said that she would repay him, but the only way she could repay him was by staying away from him.

It was getting dark.

There was an orange wall lamp on the bedside which should be warm but Belle Ye felt cold. During the summer nights, the asphalt road that had been exposed to the sun all day was still burning with hot air. She stood at the balcony and looked at the night skyline below. Her heart was so anxious that it was difficult for her to calm down.

This time, the doorbell rang.

Then, there was a beeping sound outside. Her shoulder shrank. She looked around without opening the door.

Next, the person outside knocked the door and rang the bell thrice. She thought that it was Levi Song. She hesitated for a long time and decided to open the door.

It was Levi Song.

“Mr. Song, what are you doing here?”

“I thought you were gone.”

Belle Ye was shocked. Her cheek felt like burning, but she made a way for him. Levi Song came in. he looked around the room and saw nothing had changed. He sniffed and smelled nothing but the plaster of the room. The double bed and the quilt on it was still neatly folded.

Belle Ye didn’t expect him to come. She didn’t know what to say. They looked at each other in the awkward silence. Levi Song cleared his throat, “Have you eaten dinner?”

“……” she was silent. She knew that it was impolite to answer like this, so she replied faintly, “Not yet.”

“Okay. I haven’t eaten as well. You’re still injured, so I’ll order takeaway.” Levi Song was lying.

This time, the food could be an icebreaker for both of them.

Levi Song didn’t know why he cared so much about this woman.

They met for the first time ever after years. She appeared in front of him. After hugging him in public, her shadow lingered in his eyes. She was a hostess in a clubhouse. Levi Song made an excuse for himself. After all, she was Luo Yifan’s favorite little sister and he was Luo Yifan’s good friend. He wanted to be nice to her.

This excuse seemed to be valid until this time being.

Compared to Levi Song’s composure, Belle Ye’s was much more restrained. She often mistook his familiar face as Ryan Du. Levi Song was a gentle, handsome, and an extraordinary man. Whenever he smiled, it always looked elegant and polite. His eyebrows were gently curved. He had an excellent upbringing as well. It was impossible for people to dislike him.

Now, he was taking care of her. Belle Ye could already smell the delicious food. She had a good sense of smell. It couldn’t be wrong.

Levi Song took a good care of her mostly for her brother’s sake.

But, she felt there was something more.

She touched her empty stomach. After that, they sat on each end of the sofa. The atmosphere was quiet and the orange light felt fascinating.

However, it was impossible for Belle Ye to take the initiative to strike a conversation. They were silent, but they wasn’t embarrassed. However, they were a bit uncomfortable. Levi Song took the initiative to ask about her injury. He asked a few questions only to be answered with a low voice and mostly short responses like ‘oh’ and ‘okay’.

“Next time, do not carelessly make a public appearance with a guest.”

Belle Ye smiled though her heart was hurt, “you’re so funny, Mr. Song. I’m a hostess. If the guest wants it then I should give it. I have no option to say no.”

She put her dignity aside and safety first.

Levi Song’s face was complicated, “There are all kinds of people in this circle including Lewis Qiu.”

“I think I can handle it.” she tried to be brave.

“Last time, if Lewis Qiu didn’t drink and you didn’t catch cold, what would happen?”

“I have all the opportunities. If he didn’t drink, I could start with something else.” she was comfortable with the man in front of her that she could heave a breath of relief and hide nothing. It was strange that she could relax before Levi Song.

“Lewis Qiu has a manic depressive psychosis. This illness is caused because he experienced an emotional damage. He is unable to come out of the shadow for a long time. It becomes a grievance and evolve into this kind of pain. If he can pass the pain on others, the more he can feel happy.” She explained in one breath.

Levi Song listened carefully and asked, “How do you know him—”

“There are antidepressants in the coffee table in his living room. He has an obvious bipolar disorder. When he encounters red light while driving, he will be agitated. When he is alone however, he will be depressed and his mood will fluctuate greatly.”

“If you didn’t catch cold, you would be helpless then?”

“People have weaknesses—” she paused. Suddenly, something popped in her mind. She wanted to take back her words. She did meet someone without weaknesses.

Levi Song had nothing to say. He found that the timid and casual Belle Ye suddenly became talkative and cheerful and just chatted with him like they were old friends.

It was a strange feeling for him.

He didn’t hate it. He even hoped that she would say more. His impression of her had changed a lot. Her care and intelligence were lights that no dusts could hide.

“Have you studies psychology before?”

“I, um… read some books.”

Levi Song was surprised. He felt that he was never a saint. He never went to romantic places to chat. Tonight was his first time. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I just need you to be careful next time.” he didn’t know what to say, but at least, he wanted to watch her suffered less.

Belle Ye thanked him and accepted his concern.

Then, they talked about something else. Levi Song watched his watch and murmured, “Why hasn’t the order been delivered yet? I should call them.”

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Levi Song asked, “Is it the takeaway?”

He stood up to open the door.

However, when he opened the door, instead of delivery man, he was greeted by a group of ferocious men. They just stood there and said nothing.
