Her Death Was the Eye Opener Chapter 5

The bright sunlight could not enter the damp and closed space, as if an invisible cloud was covering the young man in front of the mirror.

He just stood in front of the mirror without any movement. His once lively eyes were dull and he was staring at the pale face in the mirror. His soul seemed to be nailed in an unknown world in the mirror and he could not find any way out. He felt fragile and helpless.

There was a silver fruit knife next to the sink. It was still in its shell and had not yet revealed its sharpness. It was quietly waiting for its own opportunity until a pair of slender hands picked it up. Eli finally made a move, but he picked up the knife. He lowered his head, revealing a white and slender neck, beautiful and fragile.

He took off the knife case, and the sharp blade shone with a cold silver light, sliding across the fair skin inch by inch. As soon as the cool blade touched the skin, an excited signal was sent out in his mind, and every adrenaline secreted was clamoring...

---

Eli was rushed to the hospital by Butler Qin.

Thirty minutes ago, Butler Qin came to deliver new autumn clothes. He knocked on the door for a long time but heard no response, so he pushed the door open and found Eli collapsed beside the desk. He was unconscious, holding a frame tightly in his arms...

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor rushed over to perform a full-body examination on Eli, and the final diagnosis was that he had a cold and fever caused by catching a cold.

Eli also woke up at this time. Listening to the doctor's words, he thought of the low temperature of the air conditioner last night and the wind blowing today.

My health is really bad.

The doctor wrote the prescription, the nurse prepared the medicine, and came to give Eli an injection.

Eli's blood vessels were too thin. The young nurse rubbed and kneaded them, and tied and loosened the tourniquet. Finally, she chose to tie it on her arm, but even so, it still didn't work. The young nurse didn't pull out the needle, but directly used the needle to stir in the flesh to find the blood vessels.

Eli didn't react much. This little pain was almost unbearable for him. However, Butler Qin frowned as he watched and was about to scold him.

Eli was one step ahead of him. He raised the corners of his pale lips and said to the nurse: "It's okay, take your time."

Seeing this, Butler Qin didn't dare to say anything else.

Perhaps encouraged by the patient, the young nurse finally inserted the needle into the blood vessel after stirring the flesh for a long time. Her forehead was already covered in sweat, and she bowed and apologized with guilt.

Eli said a few more words of comfort, and then asked the nurse to go back to work. He turned his head and looked at Butler Qin, and said business, "Butler Qin, don't tell my father and brother about my illness. They are busy anyway, and if they worry about me, they will have a hard time."

Butler Qin rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, "Master, this is not something I can decide."

"Brother Cheng'en, please help me." Eli whispered softly.

Qin Cheng'en is only thirty years old, but he has been in the Wen family for more than ten years. It can be said that he grew up with Eli.

Seeing him like this, Qin Chengen immediately softened his heart and said like coaxing a child: "Young Master is really busy dealing with the group's affairs. We can not tell Young Master for now, but we still have to tell Mr. Qin. I will feel relieved if he comes to watch over you."

Hearing this, Eli nodded and said nothing more.

"What about Mr. Lu? Do I need to tell Mr. Lu?"

Qin Chengen's question made Eli stunned. Not to mention hiding something, he seemed to have never thought about Miles from the beginning to the end. It's not that he didn't regard Miles as a relative, but their relationship was really...

"No need, he's busy now." Eli listened to his own voice and said calmly.

Hearing this, Qin Chengen went outside and called Henry.

Eli was left alone in the ward.

He looked around the ward and turned his head to see the words written by his father Henry on the bedside table. His name was Eli.

Butler Qin said that the incident happened suddenly and he was holding the thing tightly, so he took it over.

Eli fainted due to fever.

So he didn't make the cut in the bathroom after all. He came out of the bathroom in a mess, his mind full of thoughts that he couldn't do this, because he had promised Oliver that he would no longer hurt himself.

Yes, Eli had committed suicide and mutilated himself.

After being bullied by Carson and his gang, he was left with a deep trauma. He hid in the darkness, became depressed, and began to hate his frail body. He was useless and only caused trouble for his family.

During that time, he simply couldn't face his own body. He enjoyed the pleasure and prayed for release countless times when he stabbed with a sharp knife...

However, things did not go as he wished. Instead, Oliver was the first to discover his self-mutilation.

That day, Eli hid in the bathroom again and took out his newly acquired Swiss knife. He unfolded them one by one and started playing self-abuse tricks on himself as if doing an experiment.

He was so immersed in the subject that he didn't even hear Oliver calling him.

Oliver shouted around in the room but no one answered. He pushed open the bathroom door and saw wounds and blood on Eli's wrists.

The moment he was discovered by his brother, Eli was extremely panicked. He was at a loss that his dark side had been discovered. He was panicking and wondering if his family would be disappointed in him after knowing it. What would happen to his fake sunny and cheerful self?

Yet there was no blame, no scolding.

Oliver calmly held him in his arms, quietly removed the knife from his hand, gently stroked his head, and told him over and over again, "It's not your fault, it's not your fault, it's the fault of those who bullied you, those who bullied you, all deserve to die!"

After comforting the man, Oliver did not make it public. He kept it a secret from everyone in his family and personally drove Eli to the hospital. After treating his wounds, he took him to see a psychologist...

In fact, Oliver did make those who bullied Eli pay the price. He dealt with those people with vicious means, but he could not touch Carson.

Behind Carson is the Lin family. As the head of the three major chaebols in S City, the Lin family's strength should not be underestimated. As the youngest son in the family, Carson is spoiled by his father Lin Jinzhong to the point of lawlessness.

After Lin Jinzhong learned about this, he only asked someone to bring an insincere apology. Carson did not even show up. The person who came to apologize left a message at the end - "Why take the fight between children so seriously?"

At that time, Wen Mingzhu had just passed away for less than a year, and Lin Jinzhong was bullying the Wen family because they had no one, and Oliver was just a little baby who had just taken power...

It’s been five years since then.

Eli thought with emotion that his brother now ran the Wen Group better than his mother.

Eli looked at the words his father wrote for him on the table, his eyes filled with warmth. His parents had worked so hard to give birth to him, and his brother had worked so hard. How could he continue to feel sorry for himself and hurt himself without any care?

Although the ending of the story is that I still ended up in the hospital.

Eli looked at the green plants on the windowsill and suddenly thought of the boy named Avery. He was so healthy and sunny. If it were him, he would definitely not get sick.

...

Henry is the chairman of the S City Calligraphy Association. When he received the call from Butler Qin, they were holding a symposium, but he immediately took leave and came to the hospital without saying a word.

Because he came in a hurry, when he arrived at the hospital, Henry's clothes and hair were a little messy, and there was even half of hairspray on his hair.

Qin Chengen stepped forward to help him tidy up, and asked in a natural tone: "Sir, how did you get into such a mess?"

Henry was already used to his service. He looked up and asked him to clean up, while saying, "When you called, they were doing my hair. When I heard that Qingqing was hospitalized, I hurried over. How is Qingqing?"

"He's already been given an injection. It's nothing serious. He just has a cold and a fever." Qin Cheng'en comforted her while keeping his hands moving.

Hearing this, Henry showed some displeasure in his eyes, "It's not a big deal for you, but for Qingqing, even if she has a cold, it's a big deal. Okay, no need to tidy up, go in and see how Qingqing is doing."

Even after being told that, Qin Chengen still didn't seem unhappy at all. He replied yes and followed Henry into the ward.

Henry asked about his youngest son's condition. After making sure that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. After instructing Butler Qin to take good care of him, he pushed the door and walked to a distant corridor to make a phone call.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

The voice on the other end was full of disgust and indifference, "Why are you calling me?"

...

After the injection, although the fever has not completely subsided, Eli's mental state has improved a lot. The doctor reminded him of some precautions and told him that he would continue to get injections the next day and the day after tomorrow.

When he returned home, Eli discovered that Miles was actually at home.

He was a little surprised and was about to ask when he heard Henry explain in a low voice, "I called him to come back. You were sick and in the hospital. It would be too unreasonable for him not to come back to see you."

"How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Seeing someone coming back, Miles hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Eli shook his head, his eyebrows curved, and gave a reassuring smile, "You'll be fine after the injection. It was my dad who made a fuss and called you back."

"Yeah, I'm glad you're fine." Miles responded softly. He wanted to ask more about Eli's condition, but was stopped by Henry. "Xiao Lu, come with me. I'll remind you of some precautions the doctor gave you so that you can take care of Qingqing."

Henry asked Butler Qin to look after Eli, while he called Miles to the study on the second floor.

With the help of Manager Qin, Eli went back to his room to rest.

Miles came back quite quickly.

Eli was leaning on the bed, just beginning to feel sleepy, when he pushed the door open.

"Are you done talking?" Eli asked, forcing himself to be alert.

Miles hummed, seemingly unwilling to say anything more.

Eli then realized that Miles's face was not in a good state. His eyes were grim and his expression was tense. Even the originally faint mole on the bridge of his nose was now unusually dark.

He seemed angry.

This realization instantly made Eli sleepier. So, he was so angry because he had disturbed his relationship with Avery?

Eli licked his dry lips, feeling helpless and bitter in his heart.

The room was silent.

Until Miles interrupted, "Did you go out today?"

Eli understood, but still shook his head in confusion, "No, what's wrong?"

Miles was a little surprised to hear this answer, but he quickly said, "Nothing, I saw a figure when I went out to discuss something, and it looked very similar to you."

"Looks like me?" Eli blinked, a little curious, "Is he also in a wheelchair?"

"No." Miles said softly, "He has someone to carry him."

Eli lowered his eyebrows and said "Oh" as if he didn't care.

The conversation stopped again, and the room full of motionless things remained silent with them until Miles spoke again.

He said, "Let's move out."
