The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

When Lu Yifeng saw that she woke up, he sighed in relief. "Don’t scare me like that."

"Lu... Lu Yifeng?" Xia Meilin instantly sat up and moved away from him. Fear filled her eyes and her body started trembling.

Lu Yifeng noticed the changes in her, especially the way she looked at him. That look was so familiar. It was the way she looked at him in his previous life. He became nervous when a sudden thought came in his mind.

No. That can’t be possible. "Meilin... are you alright?"

Why was he here? Didn’t she killed herself? Why is she still alive? Xia Meilin shrank back away from him. He was the man she feared and hated the most. She tried escaping him so many times. When he killed the only person she has left, she decided to end her life. There was nothing left for her, everyone she cares and love was gone. No one was there to fight with her. She finally gave up. She thought that by killing herself, her hardships would finally be over. She thought that she will finally be with her family but she never expected that his face will be the first thing she’ll see when she wakes up.

What did she do to deserve this? Did she committed a horrible sin in her previous life that fate continued on sending Lu Yifeng after her?

Just then, flashes of her new memories flooded her mind in an instant and because of this, her head started to ache badly. The memories of her previous life and the memories of her present life started mixing up. This was too much to handle, she felt her head throbbing because of this. She crouched and held her head in pain, this made her groan out loud.

Lu Yifeng went to her side, he was about to touch her when his hand was suddenly slapped away by her. "Don’t touch me!"

"Meilin..." Her eyes were full of hate and this struck Lu Yifeng’s chest like a sword. "Don’t tell me..."

"Don’t come near me! Don’t come near me!" She ignored her headache since what matters the most to her was to run away from that man. The moment she stood up, she felt like her head was being torn apart, her surrounding started fading and she blackened out in an instant.

Before she could hit the ground, Lu Yifeng hurriedly went and catch her. He carried her in his arms and kicked the door open.

At that moment, the only thing in his mind was to bring Xia Meilin to the hospital. He can think of his wife being reborn later, what matters to him right now is her health and the wellness of their children.

Dong Hua and Zhao Junxu was surprised at this. Seeing that their master was in a hurry, they quickly followed him.

Xia Meilin woke up and found herself inside a white room. She looked around, the beeping sounds coming from a monitor, the smell of alcohol, and the IV stand that was beside her made Xia Meilin think that she was in the hospital.

She stared at the ceiling as she started recalling what happened earlier. She saw Lu Yifeng earlier... she’s dead and yet he was there... was that a dream?

Since she was inside private ICU room, does that mean that she survived? She was pretty sure that biting her tongue off can make her bleed to death in an instant so... why was she still alive?

"Someone..." Why can she talk? She cut off her tongue by biting it and yet she can feel the wholeness of it in her mouth.

Xia Meilin closed her eyes. When she did, this time, a small part of the memories in her present life started flowing smoothly in her mind.

What are those memories? There’s no way that any of those can be real. How can she live peacefully with a devil? Lu Yifeng must have done something! Did he injected some kind of drugs in her?

She sat up and looked at the IV drip. Did he thought that he can deceive her? She was not a fool!

"Xiao Mei?"

Xia Meilin instantly turned her head towards the person who entered the room. Her eyes went wide when she saw her grandparents. "G-Grandma? G-Grandpa?" They’re alive? No, no. This must be a dream, right?

Her tears rolled down her cheeks just like a stream. What was happening?

Ji Ruo hurriedly went to her side when she saw Xia Meilin cry, "Sweetheart, are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?"

"Grandma..." She reached out to her and held her hand. Her hand was warm, when she squeezed it, she could feel the softness of Ji Ruo’s hand. She’s real? "Grandma...?"

Ji Ruo sat beside her and pulled her into a hug. "There, there, you’re such a crybaby."

Xia Meilin continued on crying as she hugged her grandmother close. She couldn’t believe that her grandmother was there, she was alive!

"We heard everything from your husband." Ji Ruo gently stroked her hair. She pulled away and wiped her wet face with her handkerchief.. "He said that you fainted."

"You’re pregnant, Xiao Mei. You should be more careful of your body. If you don’t feel well, you should tell someone." Xia Jiamu said as he sat on the chair that was beside her bed.

Their words made Xia Meilin frowned. Her husband? Pregnant?

When she asked those words, she suddenly remembered something.

Lu Yifeng didn’t destroyed her family... he acted so differently from the Lu Yifeng she knows. What was this? She really died... So does that mean that she travel back in time? Wait... Not back in time... She was reborn in a parallel universe!

"Xiao Mei?"

She was brought back from her thoughts when Ji Ruo called her.

Ji Ruo sighed when she noticed that Xia Meilin’s mind was flying somewhere else. She lightly slapped her leg to get her attention. "You need to rest. Have you eaten your lunch? You shouldn’t skip your meals. It’ll be bad for your health and your baby. Here, I’ve brought you your favorite apple pork ribs soup."
