Chapter 538
538 Staying or leaving
huo shen’s words were completely different from mrs. huo’s “thank you for your hard work.”
an xiaowan’s lips curved up. she clutched the cloth on his chest tightly and slowly fell asleep.
this was probably the most peaceful sleep he had in recent days. she didn’t need to be afraid that he wouldn’t be able to find her when he woke up in the middle of the night. she didn’t need to worry that his condition would worsen, and she didn’t need to worry that his body temperature would drop instead of rise.
The night was gentle.
huo shen lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. his eyes were gentler than the night.
—
Liyin city.
after the heavy rain, the whole city was filled with the fresh smell of grass and trees. every street was clean and seemed to be more beautiful than before.
That night, the bloodstains on the ground had also disappeared without a trace.
At that time, Xia duo had a 24-hour promise with an Xiaowan. On that day, she stayed in the underground Ward and watched over si linghan.
the room was pitch-black, and no sunlight could be seen.
it was extremely similar to the days when she was imprisoned. however, si linghan was the one who was unable to move now.
she had never thought that she would one day be able to bring si linghan here and imprison him.
she had no idea what was happening outside. she only knew that si linghan had not woken up, the medical equipment was running smoothly, and the doctors would come over to check on him from time to time.
xia duo was afraid of the dark and the blocked view. however, she realized that when si linghan was really silent, her fear didn’t seem so obvious.
It was replaced by another feeling.
she clearly hated him so much and wanted him to disappear completely so that they wouldn’t contact each other again after the divorce, but now, seeing him lying weakly on the bed, xia duo actually felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
outside, it was dark and bright again.
Finally, she received a message from an Xiaowan, telling her that everything was fine.
Then, Secretary Kong found the place and took Xia duo and Si linghan out.
the si family’s attitude was all weird. however, xia duo didn’t really care. after all, they had always been hostile and prejudiced against her. she was already used to it.
young Madam, do you have any idea how much damage Ms. An has caused us? ” secretary kong looked at xia duo and frowned hard.
Xia duo bit her lip and didn’t say anything.
“Young master has really done a lot for you. young madam, why don’t you want to go back with young master? No matter what you want, young master will give it to you and will try his best to satisfy you. How could you be so cruel to shoot him?” Secretary Kong questioned him one after another, and every word was filled with strong condemnation.
condemnation? What right did they have to condemn her?
Was it all her fault?
The Xia family blamed her for not ingratiating herself with si linghan. Otherwise, she could have helped the Xia family to become an even more powerful wealthy family. The SI family blamed her for not treating si linghan well. Otherwise, they would definitely be able to stay together happily and he wouldn’t be hurt.
But had anyone ever thought for her?
her freedom, her life, her love, her self.
could it be that because of si linghan, she should give in, be weak, shoulder everything, and live for others?
xia duo’s hands clenched tightly by her side. she didn’t let go even though her nails were embedded in her flesh.
” young madam, we’ll bring young master back for treatment tomorrow. are you staying or leaving with us? ” Secretary Kong asked with a frown.
the air fell into a heavy silence.
after a while, xia duo took a deep breath and said, ” “I’m also resentfully returning to China.”
after all, she was the one who fired the gun.
xia duo smiled sadly.
was this what si linghan was planning?
