Chapter 686: Chapter 685: The Text Message Wasn’t Sent by Me (3)
Shi Che couldn’t stop Ling Chuxia in time because he was stunned by her words.
What message? What message?
Shi Che tried to get up and chase after Ling Chuxia, but every bone in his body seemed to ache. He forced himself to get up, but he always fell back halfway, gasping for air, his body covered in cold sweat from the pain.
Shi Che knew he was unable to chase after her now. He twisted his head to look toward the nightstand where his cellphone lay. He reached out with difficulty, grabbed his cellphone, unlocked it, and quickly dialed Ling Chuxia’s number.
But after he dialed, he discovered that Chuxia had long since blocked his number...
A frown creased Shi Che’s brow as he threw his phone onto the bed in frustration. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully recalled the words Ling Chuxia had said.
The message, the child.
Could it be... the matter with the child was related to a message? Was it this message that made Chuxia think he didn’t want her child?
But he had never sent Chuxia a message saying he didn’t want the child!
What, exactly, had happened?
Ling Chuxia ran blindly, not knowing where she was going, just running straight ahead until she was too tired and couldn’t run anymore. Only then did she stop, her tears still flowing uncontrollably.
She had tried so hard for so long to restrain herself from thinking about Shi Che, from loving him, from being so humble.
But today, everything had fallen apart.
Shi Che must be mocking her now, right? Mocking her for falling into his trap willingly once again?
Ling Chuxia’s body weakly squatted down, her hands around her knees, sobbing fiercely.
After a while, Ling Chuxia’s crying gradually stopped. Her eyes, already somewhat red and swollen, now looked terrifyingly swollen and sore. Wiping away her tears, Ling Chuxia sniffled powerfully, and with a slight shake of her body, she stood up. Looking around, she realized she had run to the corridor in the hospital’s back yard. Ahead, to the front left, there was a restroom, she walked toward it.
Entering the restroom, looking at herself in the mirror, her eyes red and swollen, tear streaks freely marking her face, Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but mumble to herself about her uselessness. She turned on the tap, cupped water in her hands, and splashed it all over her face.
The water was ice cold. As it hit her face, Ling Chuxia, who had been confused from crying, slightly cleared her mind. Only then did she remember, Shi Che’s body was not in good condition, and she had left him alone in the hospital room, on the ground... If his injuries worsened...
Regardless, his injuries were caused because of her, she couldn’t just leave him there, but... she really couldn’t face him again.
Every additional glance at him softened her heart.
Ling Chuxia’s hands, resting on the sink, clenched gradually tighter. She looked intently at herself in the mirror for a long while, then took her phone out of her pocket and made a call.
Not long after Ling Chuxia ran out, a nurse came in for rounds, found Shi Che sitting on the floor, and hurriedly helped him onto the bed, even scolding him. Given his current condition, he must rest in bed and not move around carelessly, or else he would only add to his injuries.
Shi Che ignored the nurse’s words, his dark eyes fixed steadily on the doorway of the hospital room.
