68 An Inexplicable Sense of Familiarity
Su Binglan raised her head to look at the silent Luo Jin’an. She saw a deep and conflicted feeling in his eyes, one that would make it difficult for others to distinguish his emotions.
She gently held Luo Jin’an’s hands and said, “Let go of me first, and I’ll continue talking to you.
Still, Luo Jin’an kept his hands firmly in place. Then he said, “I’ll let you go when you finish talking.”
Su Binglan’s mouth twitched. Since Luo Jin’an had suffered so much, she didn’t want to argue with him. She said, “You should remember that my parents said I got severely injured from falling off the back of the mountain three years ago, right?”
Luo Jin’an said softly, “Yes.”
“I was at the brink of death after that, so many of my actions became out of control. But I regained myself when I woke up from falling into the river. The birthmark the dark spirit left disappeared shortly after that.”
“You can ask my parents if I had a birthmark when I was born if you don’t believe me.” Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an with clear and honest eyes as she spoke.
Luo Jin’an could tell Su Binglan was not lying. Then he thought of something, and his expression darkened before letting go of Su Binglan.
Su Binglan sat upright and said, “Since you know that now, our marriage isn’t real. If you want to leave, I can send you on your way. You’re free.”
Luo Jin’an coughed even more violently as Su Binglan said that.
“Cough! Cough!”
Su Binglan thought he was pretending, but when she checked his temperature, she found that his condition had worsened. Su Binglan frowned and said, “How could this be? It wasn’t this serious before.”
The cold poison was spreading through Luo Jin’an’s body, and he lacked qi and blood. His qi and blood surged at that moment, which was fatal.
Su Binglan couldn’t care less about anything else. She hurried down to get a bowl and put the spiritual spring water in it.
Su Binglan was swift. She quickly got on the brick bed and handed the bowl of spiritual spring water to Luo Jin’an.
“Down this. You’ll feel better after you drink it.”
‘Has Jin’an been in this condition for the past two days?’
Su Binglan never noticed it, and Luo Jin’an didn’t say anything.
In this current state, removing the poison from Luo Jin’an’s body would be complicated. Still, Su Binglan couldn’t bear to leave him like that, and she was confident she could cure him.
However, there were no herbs available. Su Binglan would need extremely precious hers to cure Luo Jin’an. She could buy some of the herbs, but there were other herbs she could only find because the villagers had yet to discover them.
Nonetheless, she could at least be around to stabilize Luo Jin’an’s condition and prevent him from dying.
Seeing that Luo Jin’an didn’t move, Su Binglan said anxiously, “Hurry, down it.”
Luo Jin’an said faintly, “Didn’t you want to drive me away? Why do you care whether or not I live or die?” Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan with his beautiful eyes, full of resentment as he spoke. It was as if he had given up.
Su Binglan couldn’t bear such a gaze. Her heart trembled.
She said through gritted teeth, “I wasn’t trying to chase you away. I wanted to let you be free. You’ve misunderstood me. Besides, I’ve changed my mind. I think it would be better if you stay with me so I can heal you when I find the necessary herbs.”
Su Binglan did not know why, but she felt guilty and wanted to treat Luo Jin’an well whenever she looked at him. It was as though the two were familiar.
However, Su Binglan couldn’t recall the specific memory. She felt that the inexplicable sense of familiarity was real.
