"Ahhh!"
With a cry, Su Nian suddenly opens her eyes.
An immense sense of agony, like a sharpened stake, piercing into her body, spreading out to all her limbs and bones. Her aching toes and fingers curl together.
Her dazed almond eyes open wide, yet see only pitch black.
It takes her quite a while to realize. She has been reborn.
But why? Why does fate mock her and torment her by returning her to this day where her honor was stolen?
Although her body is in pain and her spirit is weak, Su Nian clenches her teeth forcefully; she dare not sleep, she needs to escape from here later!
The body sprawled on hers finally quiets after who knows how long. Su Nian's lips are torn and battered from biting them so hard, trying desperately to suppress her sounds.
Only when she hears even breathing by her side, does she bravely, albeit painfully, fumble her way off the bed.
Yes, fumble. As she's now blind.
As she can't see, Su Nian finds herself touching a very firm, yet smooth mound of flesh.
Is that a chest?
Didn't her past life memories say that the one who stole her chastity was an obese middle-aged man from a mental institution?
But this isn't something she has time to consider now. Because in a moment, her "kindhearted" stepsister Xue Mengtian will come knocking with her entourage, only to see her smothered in love bites, and then spread rumors of her having an illicit affair.
In her past life, this was the reason Su Nian got kicked out of the Su family home, and the beginning of her miserable life thereafter.
"Hmm?"
When her hand was removed from the man's chest muscles, Su Nian heard a low hum from this man. The voice was low and hoarse, yet it had a metallic tinge like a violin.
Su Nian's hand paused.
Because she was blind, her ears were exceptionally sensitive. Hearing the man's voice at this moment, she was even more certain that he was not fat.
However, no matter who it was, her chastity was already lost. Now the most important thing is that she needs to escape. If she can't protect her body, then she has to protect her position!
She absolutely can't be thrown out of the Su family, and let that bitch Xue Mengtian succeed!
Continuing to grope in the dark, Su Nian finally touched something akin to a doorknob. She was overjoyed. But soon after, she heard the faint sound of footsteps ascending from outside.
Her heart tightened. Was it Xue Mengtian coming?
Suddenly, it was too late to escape. Su Nian remembered that while she was exploring the room earlier, she had touched a cabinet. She knew that the closets in a healthcare room were about a person's height.
Listening to the approaching footsteps, Su Nian had no choice but to go back and fumble her way to the closet.
Finally, just as the door opened, she too climbed into the closet and closed the door.
"Found, found the master!"
Su Nian heard a low exclamation from outside. Then the sound of rustling through clothes followed. After a while, Su Nian heard them leaving, except that one person's footsteps were much heavier.
Su Nian guessed that was because one of them had carried off the man with the chest muscles from the bed.
It wasn't until she heard the sound of the door being shut from outside the closet that Su Nian slowly crawled out...
"Dad, Mom, let's hurry, I'm afraid sister is in danger. A moment ago, I saw a man sneak into the floor where sister lives," Xue Mengtian said anxiously as she climbed the stairs. Her voice was loud enough as if she was afraid others wouldn't hear her.
Following her was Xue Li, whose face was stern.
"Mengtian, are you sure you saw a man suspiciously entering your sister's floor?"
"Dad, I would never lie to you. Let's hurry. If we're late, sister might be in danger!"
Xue Mengtian seemed really concerned, dragging Xue Li towards the ward in a hurry.
In a place where Xue Li couldn't see, the corner of her mouth curved upwards in victory.
Today, she was going to make sure that Su Nian had no chance of survival in the high society of the capital!
Running ahead of Xue Li and opening the door, Xue Mengtian cried out in shock without even looking around.
"Oh my god, sister, what are you doing? How could you do this?"
Half of her face was towards Xue Li, feigning disbelief. Following behind, Xue Li paused then quickened his steps, pushing Xue Mengtian away from the door.
"I'll kill you..."
He rushed ahead with raised hand, but then froze.
The ward was empty, not a soul in sight. The bed sheet was in a mess. Then suddenly, the sound of a cane tapping came from outside the ward:
"Is anyone there? Who is it?"
