Her clothes were soaked through, and her lower lip was bitten, speckled with bloodstains; one could imagine just how painful it had been.

"I'm sorry..."
She hadn't known this would happen, she really hadn't.
It was her overconfidence that had led to Xia Shi's injury.
"I'm really, very sorry..."
Xia Shi's voice was weak, the severe pain from before leaving her drained of strength.
Seeing Xia Weibao blame herself, she stretched out her other hand, lightly covering Xia Weibao's hand.
"It's not your fault; you don't need to blame yourself."
"It's because of me that you're hurt..."
The overwhelming self-reproach pressed heavily on Xia Weibao's heart.
From last night till now, two people had been hurt because of her negligence.
