Sheng Shijing had just woken from a coma, and the immense surprise of seeing his adopted sister almost made him faint again.
He forced himself to stay conscious and said to her, "Jiaojiao, I've let you down!"
At that moment, he felt content enough to simply drift off to sleep. He had no regrets left in this life.
Gu Jiaojiao saw through him. How could she possibly allow that? She spoke to him in a soft voice, "Is an apology all it takes? You'll have to make it up to me in the future."
'What good is an apology?' she actually wanted to say. 'The person you wronged is already gone.'
But Sheng Shijing was so fragile right then; she couldn't bring herself to say it out loud.
After speaking, Gu Jiaojiao roughly fed Sheng Shijing a Heart Protection Pill she had made herself.
Sheng Shijing passively swallowed the Heart Protection Pill, but the pain wracking his body didn't lessen.
