sage , you know perfectly well how sensitive Lily is , and you deliberately told her I was planning to send her away . " ] " I already promised I wouldn't see her after we got married . Why did you have to mess with her head now ? " " This happened because of you , so you need to take responsibility . " [ ] I swallowed my hurt and looked Reid straight in the eyes , speaking clearly : ] " The doctor said I need to rest and recover after the car accident . " Reid's mouth curved into a cold sneer , his chest heaving . " Cut the crap - you just want her to die right now , don't you ? Why can't you stand waiting even a little bit ? " ] His voice was terrifyingly low . [ ] " What's a human life worth to you ?! " " ] I stood there stunned . ] Fifteen years of growing up together , and apparently that wasn't worth even a shred of his trust now . Reid completely ignored my struggling and forcibly dragged me up to the roof , shoving me into the helicopter that was about to take off . ] ] My concussion from the accident hadn't healed yet , and now with the violent shaking of the aircraft cabin , I felt even more dizzy and disoriented . The moment we landed , Reid roughly dragged me rushing into the hospital He pressed me down into the chair in the blood draw room . When the cold alcohol swab touched my arm , I finally found my voice " Reid , in all the time we were together , did you ever truly love me ? You're willing to go this far for her , aren't you ? " ] The doctor beside us caught on to what was happening and immediately called a stop after drawing just a small amount : " Sir , this young lady's physical condition isn't suitable for continued blood donation . " ] He pointed to the two blood bags that were already prepared . ] " Miss Lily has enough blood now , and new blood sources are on the way . " ] Reid's gaze fell on my pale face , and his brow finally furrowed . ] Maybe he was thinking about how to answer me , I thought . But was this question really that difficult ? Now that I had " amnesia , " was he too lazy to even make something up ? After hesitating for seconds , he finally said , still coldly : ] " Keep drawing . Lily's situation is obviously more critical right now . " " Sage , you made this mess , so you need to deal with the consequences . " Seeing my lips gradually turning purple , Reid hesitantly reached over to touch my hand . " Just hang in there a little longer - we'll be done soon .. " His tone became somewhat gentler . [ ] " I just want you to learn from this . You shouldn't have bullied her . " I shook off his hand in disappointment and closed my eyes , not wanting to look at him anymore . [ ] By now , what was there left for me not to understand ? When I woke up again , the room was empty except for a bowl of still - steaming ginseng soup on the nightstand . I struggled to sit up with my weakened body , didn't even glance at the soup , put on my shoes and headed for the door . ] Walking past another room , a weak voice called out to me.// It was Lily . I paused but didn't turn around . But just as I was about to keep walking , a piercing scream suddenly came from behind me .] " Ahh ! It's so hot ! " ] I instinctively turned around to see Lily pouring the entire bowl of scalding soup over her own arm . ] * SAGE ! " Reid's voice echoed from the other end of the hallway .
