Chapter 2328: The Recovery
Di Fuyi would no longer care if she lived or perished. It had been four hours since he last saw her in her wounded state. If he really cared about her condition, he would definitely find a way to come and see her. She had been waiting for him, but he never came. Perhaps, he had truly given up on her. Overwhelmed by the disappointment, she suppressed the urge to cry and closed her eyes.
The only noise Gu Xijiu heard was the mere rustling of leaves in the wind. Suddenly, she noticed some movement in the air, like a sign of disturbance. Surprised, she quickly opened her eyes and looked for the source of the sound. Unfortunately, it was just a leopard, not the man that she was hoping to see.
Disappointment filled her heart. She tried not to be hopeful, but as soon as she heard the noise, she immediately thought that it was him.
"Hush!" She could feel something darting by her side. Someone had landed next to her! Gu Xijiu opened her eyes, and the first thing that she saw was the face of Mr. Zhu. Seemingly injured, he staggered as he landed next to her.
Their eyes met, and he smiled as soon as he saw the look in her eyes. He said, "Are you disappointed to see me?"
In her paralyzed state, she could only stare at him.
Mr. Zhu was not as carefree as he was when she first met him. Instead, he gritted his teeth a little in frustration as he said, "You should not keep your hopes on something that will never materialize. He will not show up for you. I went all the way to retrieve the cure for you and almost got myself in one of his traps while making my way out. I found the princess and forced her to give me the antitoxin."
