What would be your reaction if one day you wake up and find yourself in a completely different era, a completely different country and in the body of a person who looked just like you?? Alexis's life was going pretty normally until she finds herself transmigrated to the body of a girl who looked just like her and most importantly, the girl seemed to live a thousand years ago. And as if waking up as someone else was not enough, she finds herself betrothed to a man of whom she knew nothing. But his hazel eyes kept drawing her close to him and always seemed to offer a sense of familiarity. Since she didn't believe in love and there was no way she could get herself out of the marriage, she proposes a contract marriage with her would-be husband, which he readily accepts for his own reasons and out of curiosity to know what the woman who looked so simple yet mysterious was up to. Having lost her mother at a young age and a miserable childhood prompted her to steel her heart and stay a mile away from the matters of the heart. While looking around the next few days, she realizes that the place she seemed to have been transmigrated into was not as serene as it looked. A seemingly peaceful place was going to be the victim of one of the most treacherous schemes made by one greedy and vengeful man. But it seemed like this was just the tip of the ice berg.

"The contract states that a life threatening situation is the exception. And now my heart his going to explode because of your beauty... So let me kiss you to save my life, wifey!!"

42. A husband who couldn't see his wife's pain

" The physician is here Ting Xiao!!", Li Sing Tan yelled from outside.

Mo Ting Xiao took a deep breath in to calm himself a bit." Bring him in", he commanded.

The door opened and a middle aged man stepped in followed by Chu Chu and Li Sing Tan.

When Li Sing Tan saw that Mo Ting Xiao's eyes were red, he could guess that the discussion about the scars were true. He looked at Lu Chang Chang for a second before walking out. He didn't need to ask Mo Ting Xiao about the scars, the answer was obvious.

Chu Chu ran and sat beside Lu Chang Chang as soon as she entered her chamber. She couldn't stand seeing her master like this and tears were rolling down her cheeks.

" Please wake up Miss... You are scaring me Miss… Please…", she was sobbing badly while holding Lu Chang Chang's hand in hers.

The two men inside didn't know what to tell….

The physician just bowed towards Mo Ting Xiao before taking Lu Chang Chang's hand to check her pulse and continue with examining her.

When the physician was checking her wounds on her back, he noticed Mo Ting Xiao being slightly agitated. He looked at Mo Ting Xiao through the corner of his eyes and saw a expression he had never seen on his face.

He saw pain…

He could see that it was hurting him even more than what Lu Chang Chang was going through. The scars seemed to be stabbing him in the heart.

Mo Ting Xiao was feeling very uneasy from the minute he had seen the scars on her back. He felt pain, anger and hatred.

It was hurting him to the point that he would prefer that the scars were on him than her. He felt slightly angry that she hadn't told about the scars to him and he felt intense hatred towards the person who was the reason why she had these wounds.

When the physician was checking the clot on her back and putting some medicine on her wound, Lu Chang Chang whimpered in pain. Mo Ting Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and took a deep breath in an attempt to hold his emotions together.

The physician smiled softly seeing the way Mo Ting Xiao was reacting. A husband who couldn't stand his wife's pain and was willing to bear it for her was a true man….

The physician stepped back and Chu Chu immediately covered her body.

" How is she??", Mo Ting Xiao immediately asked in a restless tone.

" Her Highness's wound is not very deep, so it will heal within two or three days... And for the scars on her back, I will bring an ointment that will be very effective in removing the scars in the morning...", the man replied.

" What about her shivering??", Mo Ting Xiao asked.

" Her body was in water for too long and her body temperature has reduced a lot… Though it is not very harmful currently, it might be serious if her temperature drops anymore...-", the physician started replying in a worried tone, but he was immediately cut off by Mo Ting Xiao.

" So what can I do??... Should we bring more blankets??", Mo Ting Xiao asked immediately. He wanted to do anything that could make her feel better.

" That…."

Inside another night chamber, at the same time.

" HOW??!! How did he find her??", Mo Jia was speaking in anger. " Why are you so lucky??? Why couldn't you just die!!"

Mo Jia's happiness in successfully kidnapping Lu Chang Chang faded the instant she heard from her hand maid that Mo Ting Xiao had found her and that she was being treated by the physician.

" Ugh!!", she pushed the expensive jewellery, that was arranged neatly on her dressing table, with her left hand in anger.

CRASH!!

The jewellery shattered on the floor with a loud noise... Beads and broken bits of the jewellery pieces were scattered across the room.

The hand maid immediately came forward and held Mo Jia and tried to calm her down." Miss... Please don't break the jewellery... People might get alerted by the noise… Please calm yourself…", the maid urged her to calm down and made her sit on the bed.

Mo Jia's chest was heaving up and down in anger.' Why can't I get rid of her???' She cursed Lu Chang Chang repeatedly in her heart.

She wanted to break everything that was in the room because of her anger, but held herself back as she realized that her hand maid's words also made sense. If people would hear the noise, they will become suspicious.

" Miss…. You were not seen by Miss Lu, right??", the maid suddenly asked her.

Mo Jia felt as if she was struck by lightning... She didn't think of this at all.

" No... No... I am sure she hasn't seen me... My face was covered well", Mo Jia immediately replied.

' She couldn't have seen... There is no way she can recognize me... Yes... Yes!! She didn't see me… I am simply worrying for nothing...', Mo Jia consoled herself like a lunatic.

But all this while, what she didn't know was that Lu Chang Chang already had the evidence to prove that she was the one who attacked her.

What is the doctor going to say??
