My Demon Queen

Chapter 442: Demon, Say You Love Me

Ye An woke up slowly, staring blankly at the familiar yet strange ceiling. His sight slowly moved and landed on the infusion bottle hanging next to him...

His brows furrowed slightly and he tried to get up, but was instantly swept by a strong pain throughout his body. He couldn't help but twitch and his face was distorted in pain.

"You're awake? Don't move, hero. You saved a little girl, but she was hit by a car and almost became a vegetable. Fortunately, you woke up... Otherwise..."

A sweet voice came from Ye An's right.

Ye An struggled to slowly turn his head to the right, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief...

He stared at the nurse in a white coat and a mask, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but was too weak to make a sound.

"Eh? Why are you looking at me like that? Are you surprised that you're still alive? Don't worry, as long as you're still breathing, we can pull you out of the gates of hell. There aren't many people who are brave enough to do what's right, so even if the King of Hell wants you, he has to ask us if we agree..."

The nurse talked incessantly, but Ye An was full of doubts. His eyes revealed confusion and struggle, and he was thinking secretly in his heart.

"Did I...have a dream? I...really...just had a dream...Mo Qingcheng? Ye Quan? Were they all figments of my imagination?"

His eyes were still on the nurse, but his mind was a mess, thinking about all this frantically. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, but he could not make any sound.

At this moment, he was still relying on a ventilator to maintain his weak breathing. The dream was too real, so real that it seemed as if it had just ended. But why did he feel such an uncomfortable feeling in his heart at this moment?

Ye An no longer paid attention to the nurse's chattering and slowly closed his eyes. However, a crystal teardrop quietly slipped from the corner of his eye and slowly flowed down his cheek.

His heart was shrouded in great sadness, and he thought sadly.

Why was it just a dream? Mo Qingcheng, his lover, the person he had spent his entire life protecting, was, in the end, just an illusion?

When the nurse saw Ye An closed his eyes, she realized that her words might have disturbed his rest too much. A look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she tiptoed out.

Ye An closed his eyes, frowned, and tried hard to recall every detail of his time with Mo Qingcheng.

His expression was sometimes painful, sometimes gentle, as if he was reliving those unforgettable moments.

He silently swore in his heart that if this was just a dream, he would never allow himself to forget it.

He would never allow himself to forget the woman who loved him so deeply, and he would never forget the scene of Mo Qingcheng crying and laughing as she picked up a sword and prepared to die with him.

But the reality is that Ye An woke up and returned to the ordinary real world where he had lived for more than twenty years.

However, the imagined forgetfulness did not happen. He still clearly remembered everything in the dream, including the person who loved him deeply... But at this moment, he seemed to have lost his soul, his face was haggard, and his eyes were empty and lifeless.

He remembered, but the memory made him feel even worse, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart.

What happened to Mo Qingcheng in the end? Can I see her again?

Remembering is always more painful than forgetting...

Those past experiences played in his mind like a movie, reminding him again and again that it was all real and not a dream.

As his health gradually improved, Ye An's condition made the doctors and nurses worried.

His brain functions were intact and he had no hidden illness, but he was like a wooden man, not speaking, not laughing, and not crying.

The nurse felt distressed when she saw Ye An like this. She felt sorry for this young and brave man who risked his life to save others but ended up like this.

She couldn't bear it, so she came to Ye An's ward every day to talk to him. Even though Ye An never responded, she still persisted.

Until one day, when the nurse was changing Ye An's bandage, Ye An accidentally caught a glimpse of the ancient tree outside the window.

"Tree~"

His voice was particularly hoarse because he had not spoken for a long time, like the dull sound of an old bellows.

The nurse was startled by the sudden voice, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face. After all, Ye An finally spoke.

Looking at the trees outside the window, the nurse thought that Ye An couldn't be trapped in the ward forever, so after getting the doctor's consent, she pushed Ye An out.

Along the way, Ye An didn't say another word, but just stared at the ancient tree. Gradually, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, as if the tree was his only connection with that world.

It was not until he arrived under the tree that Ye An's face gradually showed a hint of life, his cheeks turned slightly red, and his eyes became focused.

The nurse was delighted to see Ye An's condition improving. Just as she was about to speak, she discovered that someone had appeared beside her.

The nurse turned her head and saw a beautiful and cool woman with red eyes. She was so beautiful that she was stunned for a moment.

But when she thought of Ye An's file showing that he had neither family nor friends, she couldn't help but wonder about the woman's identity.

Before the nurse could ask, the woman said softly:

"I once heard someone say that love is a wonderful thing. It transcends time and space, and goes through the changes of everything. When I come to your side again, I will still love you..."

The woman choked up slightly, and said affectionately to Ye An's back:

"Husband... I found you..."

The nurse nearby heard this strange name and was about to ask, but heard Ye An burst into laughter.

"hahahahahahahahahaha……"

There was a hint of madness in Ye An's laughter, his body was shaking violently, and the expression on his face was very complicated, showing the joy of reunion as well as the bitterness and pain after going through hardships.

The nurse looked at Ye An with confusion on her face, only to see him standing up with difficulty. The wounds on his body burst due to the excessive movement, and blood slowly seeped out, staining his clothes red.

The nurse wanted to remind him to be careful, but she saw that Ye An was already in tears, and the tears were flowing freely. The cry was full of sadness, grievance and endless pain...

The woman's eyes were also filled with grievance and joy, with crystal tears rolling in her eyes as she looked at Ye An with deep affection...

"The devil... said he loved me..."
