My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

Chapter 24 Contract of Sale

I don't know how long I sank into darkness.

When I woke up again.

I was wrapped up like a rice dumpling.

Look left, look again.

His body was covered in bandages, and he couldn't move anywhere except his eyes and lips.

"I'm alive?"

I felt a sense of relief, but also a bit bitter.

Being alive is both a blessing and a tragedy for me.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of high heels beside me.

Da da da!

The woman's footsteps grew closer.

I glanced at the door of the ward, and a tall, slender woman wearing a black wool coat walked in.

The woman had soft, black hair that fell casually over her shoulders.

She wore light makeup and simple home decor, yet she remained beautiful and captivating, a sight to behold.

I recognized the woman.

Lin Xia.

So it was Lin Xia who saved me.

Lin Xia walked into the ward with a blank expression, wanting to check on my condition.

When she realized I was awake, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

Amidst the surprise, there was also a touch of joy.

"Lu Yi, you're awake?"

I replied weakly, "Lin Xia, thank you for saving me."

Lin Xia looked at me, shook her head helplessly, and sighed deeply.

"Lu Yi, you're incredibly lucky to be alive!"

"Do you know that you almost died? Even the doctor said you only had a 10% chance of surviving!"

"Luckily I happened to be passing by and pulled you out of the stinking ditch, otherwise you'd be rotting by now!"

I could hear Lin Xia's angry and lecturing tone.

do not know why.

I suddenly felt like crying.

Because Lin Xia's tone when she scolded me was completely different from Gu Yao's tone when she scolded me.

Even though they were all criticizing me.

But I could clearly sense that Lin Xia's tone of scolding me was actually out of concern for me.

This is the second woman, besides Aunt Gu, who has cared for me this much since I became an adult.

Lin Xia saw me crying.

She was startled and quickly covered her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Lu Yi, I didn't mean it that way. I take back what I just said. Don't be sad."

I said, "Lin Xia, I'm not sad, I'm touched and happy."

Lin Xia was slightly taken aback, and a smile appeared on her face.

"That's good. You were crying just now, it almost scared me to death."

"I thought I was too harsh and made you cry."

Then, Lin Xia sat down beside my hospital bed.

She picked up a fruit knife, ready to peel an apple.

But judging from my appearance, I probably can't finish it.

So she picked up a grape and asked me.

Do you want some grapes?

I nodded.

Lin Xia carefully peeled the grapes and removed the seeds.

Finally, she fed it to me herself with her hands.

She wiped away the juice that dripped onto my lips, little by little, with her hand.

Lin Xia's little details.

It completely shattered my heart.

"I'm sorry, Lin Xia, I'm so sorry for what happened last night!"

I apologized to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia was taken aback for a moment, then smiled sweetly.

"It's okay, I don't mind it. Although it made me feel embarrassed that you let go of my hand, we are still friends, so I won't hold it against you!"

After saying that, Lin Xia peeled a new grape for me.

There's been a knot in my heart for a long time.

After eating a few grapes that Lin Xia fed me.

I couldn't help but say, "Lin Xia, this is how I, Lu Yi, am in this life. I'm just a useless piece of trash, a coward, a lowly person. I don't deserve to love anyone, nor do I deserve to be loved by anyone."

"From now on... try to stay away from trash like me, don't be too nice to me..."

"I'm afraid I..."

I mustered all my courage to say my last words, feeling utterly exhausted.

"I'm afraid I might have inappropriate thoughts about you."

Lin Xia's hand, holding the grapes, hovered in mid-air.

I saw a very complex emotion flickering in her beautiful eyes.

Perhaps she's completely disappointed in me?

But someone as worthless as me is certainly not worthy of being worthy of her, this high and mighty flower.

Lin Xia put down the grapes, got up and left.

I watched Lin Xia's departing figure.

I felt very sad, but also somewhat relieved.

I admit I feel terrible for letting Lin Xia down.

But I really don't want my incompetence and worthlessness to drag Lin Xia down.

After a few minutes.

Lin Xia re-entered the ward.

This time.

She exuded the powerful aura of a successful businesswoman.

Lin Xia said to me in an icy tone, "Lu Yi, now I have to settle accounts with you!"

"What's the deal?"

"First of all, I fished you out of a stinking ditch and dirtied my designer clothes, which are worth over 10 yuan. You have to compensate me!"

"Secondly, because I saved you, I also fell into the stinking ditch, and this was witnessed by others. My reputation has been damaged, and you have to compensate me 20 yuan for reputational damage!"

"Finally, I sent you to the hospital, spent a lot of money, and hired the best doctors to save your life. You have to pay me back for this treatment, a total of 100 million!"

"The total amount is 130 million. Here is your debt agreement. Sign your name now!"

I stared at Lin Xia in shock.

But it's true that Lin Xia saved me.

If it weren't for her, I would be a floating corpse in a ditch by now.

Moreover, when I heard that Lin Xia was such a fashionable and beautiful woman...

They actually went to the stinking ditch themselves and fished me out.

And she also fell into a stinky ditch.

The thought of that scene fills me with a heavy and complicated feeling.

Suddenly, he owed Lin Xia even more favors.

Since my hand was also wrapped in bandages, Lin Xia simply shoved the pen into my hand.

Then she took my hand and, on my own initiative, made me sign the contract.

After signing the contract.

I suddenly saw Lin Xia reveal a sly smile.

That smile made it seem as if her wicked scheme had succeeded.

"Lin Xia, what's on this contract?" I quickly asked her.

She said, "This is your indenture!"

I was shocked to hear this, and I saw Lin Xia reading it word by word.

"From now on, you will belong to me, Lin Xia. You must earn money by working for me until you have earned 130 million. Only then can you take back this contract of servitude!"

I looked at Lin Xia's serious expression as she held up the contract in front of me, making me read every single word.

It seems that Lin Xia signed a contract of servitude with me, intending to treat me like a slave.

But actually, Lin Xia was helping me.

Through a contract, she gave me, who was deep in despair, a ray of sunshine and hope.

Lin Xia is trying to pull me out of the mire in her own way.

And I still want to continue my depravity and betray his hopes.

Wouldn't that make me look terrible?

I can let down anyone in this world.

But I absolutely cannot let Lin Xia down.

Because it was after Gu Yao sent me to hell.

The only person who tried every means to pull me out of hell.

I closed my eyes, and a tear rolled down my cheek.
