Why are you only just apologizing?

Chapter 4: Why are you only just apologizing?

The Chaotic events of the last two weeks quickly simmered down until life returned to its regular way of flowing. In the highest floor of the dorms, room 47, Su Yuxi sat peacefully on the floor sorting her notes. Every now and then she wound feel queasy in her stomach but she brushed it off with some tea.

As the time flew by a strong wave of nausea came over her. Yuxi dropped her papers and bolted towards the bathroom. Throwing up, Yuxi thought that she had a slight stomach virus. Well, that was until she looked in the toilet and saw blood...

"Yimo!" Yuxi called out with terror in her voice.

"WHAT'S THE MATTER?" The call was so sudden that Yimo still had the curling iron in her hand.

"I threw up and look!"

"WHY WOULD I LOOK AT YOUR PUK-" Yimo stopped talking when she saw the red liquid on the toilet seat.

"Is that blood?!"

~~~

Yimo quickly drove Yuxi to the hospital. Surprisingly the number of patients present were few so they got to a doctor quickly.

Scan after scan and test after test finally she was going to see the results.

food poisoning...

As Yuxi was showing severe signs, she was required to stay in the hospital overnight to be monitored. In the mean time Yimo went to the pharmacy with a prescription for antibiotics.

~~~

One long hour had passed and Yuxi could feel her throat drying up. Her cup was empty and though she rang the bell for the nurses no one showed up. Taking her cup, Yuxi pushed herself off of the bed. Instantly she had to grab hold of the bed frame as she was dizzy and her eyes were blurry.

Holding onto objects, Yuxi made her ways out of the room and into the halls. The once quiet hospital was now hectic. Doctors and nurses were running around madly. Pushing injured men from left to right.

~~~

Han Shuchang sat guilty against the walls of the hospital. Most of his bodyguards were lying unconscious in the many rooms at that very moment.

His hatred for women after today had grown immensely. All it took was one rejection for a woman to hurt persons outside of the situation. The pitiful men that had families to take care of and children to watch grow up.

As Han Shuchang sat blaming himself he felt a soft kick against his leg. Looking up he saw the disappointing daughter of the Su Clan. He was about to swear at her but she quickly apologized. Her hands dragged against the walls and her eyes were barely opened. Her hair was frazzled and overall she looked terrible. In her right hand she held a pink cup tightly.

With hands still on the walls, she dragged herself along the hallway. It were as if she did not recognize him in that moment of time.

Shuchang rose from his squatted position and slowly followed in the direction of Su Yuxi. As she was walking, a door was opened and doctors rushed out. One of them accidentally knocked her down. In his rushing state he did notice that he had hit someone.

Shuchang watched as the frail woman fell to her knees with no intent of helping.

Quickly she pushed herself back up before continuing as if nothing happened. Han Shu stared with a complex look on his face. How was it that the daughter of one of the most power men in China did not complain when she was thrown to the ground?!

As the fountain was in view Yuxi's paste quickened. She quickly filled her cup and drank as if she were being deprived of water. Whilst making her way back to her room with a cup filled with water she noticed the figure that was watching her.

Chills ran down her spine as she mustered up the courage to do something before she backed out. " Master Han." she called out.

Han Shuchang immediately thought that everything that he witnessed before was an act but what escaped her lips startled him.

"You don't have to accept my words but I apologize for my behavior towards you two weeks ago. For falsely accusing you and... spitting in your face. That was very immature of me."

Han Shuchang turned to her. Seeing that he would only stare at her, Yuxi excused herself first. Her head was becoming dizzy and her stomach was on fire...

A large hand stopped Yuxi from moving any further.

"Why are you only just apologizing? Is it because of the marriage between our families?"

"I don't like you. I also have no plans for marriage. Rest assured Master Han."

"I don't trust people like you. What schemes are you planning."

As he spoke, Yuxi could feel the anger in his grip. He pulled her arm so that she could not leave. He wanted an answer now...

The sudden movement from Shuchang made Yuxi spill her water over her clothes and the floor.

"Look what you did! It took me so much effort to reach the fountain and now I have to go back. Thanks a lot." Shuchang watched as her face drooped. It was evident that she was sick and that she was uncomfortable standing or even being in the light as her eyes were squinted. For the third time Yuxi tried to pull away from the demon in front of her to which she was successful.

Just when she was about to journey to the fountain again, her cup was pulled out of her hands and the large man walked away with it.

Immediately she gave up and hurried back to the darkness of her room.

How unlucky she was today.

The door to her room was gentle opened.

"Yimo what took you so lo-" Instead of Yimo, Shuchang stood in the door frame with the refilled cup. He quickly placed it on the table before leaving.

No words spoken...

Five minutes later Yimo came running into the room with the antibiotics.

"YUXI! You will not believe who I saw on my way up!"

I bet I can...

"Who?" Yuxi faked her curiosity.

"Han Shuchang..."His name left her lips with vengeance. Yuxi sat awkwardly sipping on the water that he had gotten for her.
