Chapter 685: Chapter 684: The Text Message Wasn’t Sent by Me (2)
Ling Chuxia really wanted to slap him. Shi Che had treated her like this before, had cruelly rejected her child, and had hurt her over and over again. She truly hated him now, especially hated him.
But, as she looked at his pale face, her mind unconsciously flashed back to the second the elevator fell yesterday. It was he who had rushed over without hesitation to embrace her, it was he who had supported her with his strength, he who had gambled with his own life to protect her.
Scenes after scenes played in her mind like a film rewinding, and her hand, raised high, seemed to be held by something, unable to slap down no matter how.
With her large eyes staring intently at the Shi Che before her, Ling Chuxia’s throat swallowed continuously, her hand trembling bit by bit. Her eyes warmed, and tears unexpectedly poured out from them.
Why was she so useless? Why did she, despite hating him so much, not even have the courage to slap him? And now she was crying in front of him?
Her hand stiffly curled up, slowly forming into a fist. She abruptly stood up and walked towards the door.
Shi Che had never expected Ling Chuxia to cry. Her tears rolled down, those scalding droplets hitting the back of his hand and spreading directly into his heart, burning it. In an instant, his heart was thrown into confusion.
Why was she crying? He didn’t mean to bully her; he, he just wanted to see her true feelings clearly...
"Chuxia."
Shi Che called out somewhat helplessly, his hand instinctively reaching for Ling Chuxia’s, but when his hand grasped Ling Chuxia’s wrist, it was as if all her emotions collapsed in that moment.
All the grievances, all the sadness, surged up like a tide, quickly drowning her completely. She fiercely shook off Shi Che’s hand, glaring at him venomously as she spoke with a voice filled with anger and heavy with tears, "Shi Che, what exactly do you want? We’re already divorced, we have no relation now. I’ve gone far away from you, I’ve been trying hard to convince myself to forget you completely, to forget the past completely. My life is peaceful now, so why do you still come to disturb me, why do you disrupt my life, why do you say you love me, why do you risk your life to save me, why, why?"
Her voice gradually became shrill, tears flowing more and more, falling drop by drop down her cheeks.
Behind her tears, the hatred in her eyes became apparent, "What do you want? You want me to say I care about you, you want me to say I love you? Fine, I’ll say it, I do care about you, I do love you, is that enough? Are you satisfied now?"
This onslaught of words hit Shi Che, making him feel dizzy. Her "I love you" filled with hate carried no happiness, only endless bitterness.
"Chuxia..."
"Shi Che, that’s enough, really enough. I admit, I did love you once. But after those two text messages you sent, after you heartlessly turned your back on my child, my love for you... has died!"
With those words said, Ling Chuxia no longer wished to glance at Shi Che even once. She turned around and ran straight out of the hospital room, with a decisiveness as if afraid that another look at him would make her incapable of leaving.
