The Rise of the White Lotus-Chapter 566: You wont get away with this

Adrenaline rush kicked in, and in an instant, Churu jumped inside the window. She sprinted to his side, panicking, not knowing what to do.

"Wh — why are you dying? I'm — I'm here now!" Despite her presence, Churu could feel his life force growing stronger that might explode and kill him in time.

Holding on to him, Churu groped her hands all over him yet, her touches though it was helping, however it was too little that it doesn't make a change.

"Hey! Hey!" Churu exclaimed as Morris Liu winced in pain and his grasp on his chest tightened.

"Ah..." He grunted as he slowly leaned his back on the bed. It hurts... his heart was in an inexplicable pain.

For some reason, he knew that he was dying. The lack of air wasn't just suffocating his heart but also his mind, and all his nerves.

He could not speak a word and could only grunt yet, his grunts volume also lessened every time. 'It hurts...' as soon as he spoke this words internally, Lexi's smiling face flashed before his eyes.

"Brother Mo, do you want to eat?"

"Psh, you should take care of yourself more, you know." Lexi pouted as he patted her head, bearing an unusual carefree smile.

"Brother Mo, try this pudding that Mom made. It's really delicious!"

"Stop looking at me like that~"

"Psh, what will you do without me?"

"Brother Mo, can you tell me not to go? Six years is so long, I want to marry you now..." her eyes were teary while tugging on the hem of his clothes. He remembered embracing her as he patted her head to comfort the crying Lexi.

"Brother Mo, do you love me? Because I do."

"Brother Mo, I love you..."

"Brother Mo..."

Morris Liu's eyes blurred, yet he could hear Lexi's voice and the words that came out from her lips. Her voice that were so sweet and soothing... the words that were full of sincerity; Morris Liu could hear them.

"How can you do this to me? All these times, I struggled to be away from you, but I never gave up. I want to be a reliable wife you can trust and be an ally but... you want her over me? I love you, you know that. I want to give you everything — I'm doing my best, but you — what did you do? You chose someone that did nothing for you aside from warming your bed and satiating your libido! Is that what you want?!" From her loving tone, Morris Liu soon heard Lexi's hysterical and full of pain voice.

These were her last sentiments before she committed suicide. The image of Lexi undressing in front of him, stooping so low for him as she begged for his love flashed before his eyes.

He already saw the pain in her eyes, but seeing it the second time as if it was still happening, it gave him a fresh perspective. This scene... the emotion she bore in her eyes weren't just a momentary pain.

Morris Liu never saw this perspective, but now it was clear. Lexi knew she would kill herself. She had decided to end her life the second he shooed her away.

She had gone mad... and the reason was him. No one else but him.

"Hey! Can you hear me?!" Churu shook his shoulder as his eyes dimmed. His complexion paled while his lips slowly turned purple in hue.

Churu could feel that his life force was already at its peak and if this didn't stop from arising, he would surely die. Therefore, Churu jumped on the bed beside him.

She wrapped her slender arms around him, but to no avail, it was not enough. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

"Sorry..." Unaware of his surroundings, a drop of tear fell from the corner of his eye. After that, he felt like a boiling water as his body temperature shot up.

"Hey!! Ahh...!" Ignoring whatever flashback he was experiencing right now, Churu squeezed herself to him even tighter, but nothing was happening.

"What to do? What to do?" At this point, Churu was already frustrated as she didn't know what to do anymore. Alas, when she glanced at his lavender lips, she gulped as an idea struck her mind.

Without further ado, Churu leaned forward and close her eyes as her lips pressed against his. Guiding it to open by her lips, Churu hoped that this method might work.

Surprisingly enough, she felt his boiling life forces that were evaporating slowly cooled down. Her hands, gripping on his shoulder, creased his hospital gown as she pressed her lips more.

Meanwhile, Morris Liu heart felt a warm hand caressing his heart to calm, and was followed by softness, then the taste of sweetness.

It was sweet and soft, magically healing away the sorrow, regrets, and pain buried deep inside his heart. Slowly, when the pain was gone, and his little strength somehow returned, he opened his eyes.

However, it wasn't Lexi that he saw but Churu's tightly shut eyes. For a second, his brain froze along with his shoulders.

'What was she doing?' He asked internally. Deep down, he knew what was going on, but he only snapped when Churu's lips slightly moved. With that, Morris Liu's eyes widened in disbelief.

He didn't know whether to think that how this lady survived from the fall or why her lips were glued on his. Just as he mustered a little more strength to push her away, Churu suddenly held on to his wrist and pinned them down.

"Not yet," she whispered inside his mouth before pressing her lips back on his lips. Morris Liu felt weak with his health, constantly going on a roller coaster ride. Hence, he couldn't retaliate as Churu dominated his lips.

All he could do was slowly close his eyes and succumbed to the sweetness that her mouth offered. 'You won't get away with this...' he thought internally as their lips remained together for as long as they could remember.
