The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 238 The Woman in the Club

Laney’s hatred reverberated in the air as she suddenly threw her stilettos towards Bella. The air turned still as Bella watched the sharp edge of the shoes approached her. She could easily dodge, it and retaliate. However, she wasn’t planning on doing anything to defend herself. Wouldn’t it be good to have the police arrest this woman in front of everyone?

Moreover, she had a lot of healing potions and pills. She could easily heal a wound, especially that this was a human body. However, Mo Li was different.

How could he let a mere nobody hurt his woman?

The next thing that Bella knew, Mo Li was already pulling her towards his arms. She didn’t even notice him standing from his seat. In Bella’s eyes, everything happened too quickly, she felt a little dizzy after Mo Li’s abrupt movement. She closed her eyes when she felt his arms around her.

She heard him hissed and let out a low curse that she could only hear.

"Laney! What are you doing?" Anabelle’s voice made Bella open her eyes. Sadly, the first thing she saw was the blood from Mo Li’s arms. She watched the scarlet liquid flowed from Mo Li’s arms, into her white dress. She gulped. She felt her heart raced, her world seemed to stop turning as she continued to stare at the blood.

For a few seconds, Bella thought she saw a woman in a white dress running in the rain. She tried to see the woman’s face only to feel her head started to ache.

"Are you alright?" she heard Mo Li asked.

Bella wanted to open her mouth and say she was fine. She should be. She wasn’t wounded or anything. She was safe in his arms. However, the flashes of images in her brain were making her shivered. This time, she saw a man... a white-haired man... in chains.

"Bella!" she felt Mo Li’s hands on her chin. "Hey, look at me."

Bella opened her eyes, surprised to know that tears were already streaming down her cheeks. For a few seconds, confusion flashed in her eyes. Who was that man? And who was that woman in a wedding dress? She opened her mouth and tried to assure him she was fine.

Yet, no words came out of her mouth.

"Hey, are you— "

Bella tried to make out of his words but for some reason, she couldn’t hear them anymore. She felt her gaze turned hazy, her body turning numb. What is going on? ’Robot? What is going on?’ she thought before finally losing her consciousness.

Lily felt like she was floating, her body felt light— too light. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness.

’Robot?’ she called out, but as expected, she heard nothing in response. ’Robot?’

She tried to sit, but her body is not responding to her thoughts. She looked to her left and right, trying to find something that would give her any ideas where she was. Is this a dream? She frowned and squinted at the sudden flash of light a few feet away to her left. That woman again, the woman in the wedding dress. This time, she was dancing in a club. She tried to see who it was, the man who was dancing with her. Sadly, it seemed that he had been blurred. Was this Lily’s memory? Or the previous worlds? Why was it coming back to her now?

"You can rest. I will wait for you to come back." Mo Li’s voice suddenly echoed inside her head. "No need to worry." The man added. His voice was warm as always, it somehow made her a little comfortable. Slowly, she felt her body float in a certain direction. It was as if someone was pulling her.

Lily held her breath as she started to get dizzy again. What the hell was happening? Did the robot malfunction? This time, she tried to fight it and open her eyes. She needed to wake up.

Wherever she was, she knew it wasn’t someplace that would give her good news. The images are making her head hurt, it is suffocating her. Finally, Lily saw a light.

This wasn’t some light at the end of the tunnel.

It was a bright one just hanging on top of her. Like it was floating.

She extended her arm, trying her best to grab it. And she did.

Sadly, when the light immediately loses its color. Seeing this, Lily immediately let it go, and the light somehow started to come back. For the umpteenth time, Lily frowned and tried to open her eyes. She felt like grabbing the light would turn this into an endless loop. She wouldn’t want that.

She needed to wake up, and she needed to do that now!

She could feel sweat starting to trickle down her forehead as she did her best to open her eyes.

"You’re not going to leave ahead of time, right?" Mo Li’s voice started echoing inside her head. "That would make me alone in this world." She heard him sigh and felt his lips against her forehead.

Slowly, Lily felt that someone was pulling her. This time, it was towards consciousness.

She opened her eyes and started blinking. She wanted to see if she was still dreaming. She squinted at the white ceiling and towards the arm that was conveniently resting on her stomach. She turned her head towards her left and saw Mo Li sleeping next to her. A sigh escaped her lips.

Was that a dream?

Was everything about the restaurant a dream too? Or did she really faint? She looked at the interior of the room and realized that she was in Mo Li’s condo unit. Which should be a good thing, right?

"Hey," she poked his cheek. "Wake up."

"Hmmm." Instead of waking up, Mo Li just moved closer to her.

"Hey." She tried to move his arm, but it was heavy she had to give up and let him hug her like this. "Hey."

She turned her head and realized that his face was now really close— too close. She could see his intricate eyelashes, long and straight nose, and his... poreless skin. She felt her heart skip a beat. When she was about to turn her head away, Mo Li suddenly said.

"Just keep staring." He opened one of his eyes and smiled at her.
