Mo Zhang felt her resistance but still didn't back off. Xu Lina's force increased with time and finally Mo Zhang pulled back. He looked at Xu Lina's painful face and her cheeks stained with tears.
He felt hurt and angry at the same time.
"You hate me that much. That you couldn't wait to leave me and go to another man!"
"You are talking about yourself!!!!!" Xu Lina swiftly replied.
"Let go of me!" She struggled.
"Let go! You are hurting me!" Her breathing was disturbed and she couldn't speak properly.
Mo Zhang reflexively took his hands back when he heard that she was being hurt.
Xu Lina pushed him back and walked away.
Mo Zhang was again angry and wanted to shout at her. However his eyes fell on the wall where he had pushed her. There was bright red blood. Then he looked at Xu Lina. Her back was covered in blood. Bright red blood was very striking on the white dress.
His anger immediately evaporated.
He ran after her. "From where did this blood came from? How are you hurt?" He tried to grab her hand but she pushed his hand away roughly and angrily.
Mo Zhang was really worried about her and also angry at himself.
He didn't care for Xu Lina's resistance and hurriedly carried her in his arms.
"Wah..!" Xu Lina was shocked when she was suddenly carried. She reflexively put her arms around his neck to support herself.
Mo Zhang hurriedly sat her in the passenger seat and himself sat in the driver's seat. The car shooted like a bullet.
Mo Zhang took her to "Ji Hospital", The hospital belonging to Ji Tang. After pushing the break, Mo Zhang hurriedly got out and carried Xu Lina from the other side without giving her time to react.
Ji Tang was already waiting. Xu Lina was immediately taken into the examination room. Mo Zhang didn't let Ji Tang take care of her wound. He asked for a lady doctor. Ji Tang just looked at him strangely but still arranged a lady doctor for Xu Lina. Xu Lina also didn't comment on it. She herself was not comfortable with a strange man checking the wound on her back.
Inside the room, the lady doctor helped Xu Lina excitedly. She was just a new one and was a fan of Xu Lina. She was also shocked by the sight of that hideous wound. It took her sometime to clean and wrap it.
Outside the room, Mo Zhang looked worriedly at the door. Ji Tang frowned and looked at the blood on his friend's arm.
"Where did she get the wound? Last night, I didn't see it." Ji Tang asked.
"It is on her back. Of course, you didn't see it because it was covered with her clothes. I myself found it when the blood covered her back." Mo Zhang held his forehead.
Ji Tang was shocked. He could feel deep pain and grief in Mo Zhang's voice.
He sensibly kept his mouth closed and just patted his shoulder.
Lady doctor came out and told Ji Tang the details of Xu Lina's wound.
"Knife wound? 2 cm deep and 5 inch long?" Ji Tang was shocked. And so was Mo Zhang. Mo Zhang's hands started trembling and he rushed into the room.
Inside the room, Xu Lina sat straight in the hospital bed, looking out of the window. She has changed her clothes as well. Now she was dressed in a hospital gown.
Mo Zhang stood there blankly for sometime. Not moving forward nor going back. He clenched his fists numerous times.
Finally he stepped close to her.
"..." He didn't know what to say to her. But he silently reached out and took her in his arms. Xu Lina widened her eyes but did not resist this time. She was really really tired.
Mo Zhang ran his fingers through her soft hair.
~silence~
Mo Zhang sat down beside her and cupped her face, making her look at him.
"Does it hurt?" He asked gently.
Xu Lina looked into his deep eyes in which she saw worry, heartache and love? Was she mistaken?
Xu Lina bit her lower lip and nodded slightly.
Mo Zhang, with extreme gentleness, took a strand of astray hair from her cheek and put it behind her ear.
Xu Lina gently closed her eyes at his touch and opened them again.
"I am sorry...." Mo Zhang whispered.
"Sorry for leaving you alone all these years."
"I am sorry..."
Xu Lina's throat rolled, her eyes were filled with tears. The emotions and complains of all six years converted into these tears.
~drip~drip~drip~
Xu Lina's tears began to flow, non-stop.
"You bastard!" She whispered.
"Yes, yes, I am a bastard." Mo Zhang gently put her face on his chest and hugged her, careful not to hurt her wound.
Xu cried for a long time. Mo Zhang's expensive shirt was soaked with her tears.
Mo Zhang didn't say anything else just kissing the crown of her head from time to time.
He let her vent all her emotions.
After sometime, Xu Lina calmed down.
She didn't get up immediately. She felt embarrassed.
Mo Zhang broke the silence.
"Enough crying?"
"I guess" Xu Lina whispered.
Mo Zhang made her look at him. He wiped her cheeks gently with his fingers. After that he kissed the corner of her both eyes.
"I am sorry. But after this, I won't let you cry because of me."
Xu Lina just pursued her lips and said nothing.
"Don't leave me. Don't push me away."
"Give me one chance. okay?"
"I will become a good husband and a good father."
"I promise."
"I will become your strength."
"I will become your armor."
"I won't let you face anything alone anymore."
"Please, don't leave?"
Mo Zhang pleaded.
Xu Lina looked at him.
Her thoughts and stubbornness merged into compromise.
She can see that he was really sincere.
Since he is pleading and kids also want this.
Then let's give him a chance.
"Okay..."
"I won't leave." Xu Lina said. Her voice was hoarse due to crying.
