She no longer wanted to stay in that room, no longer wanted to remember Shi Che’s angry face, nor hear those hurtful words again. She just wanted to leave as quickly as possible, to forget everything that had just happened.
Ling Chuxia ran with all her might, not knowing where she was headed, she just knew she didn’t want to stop, the farther from the villa, the better.
Under the cloak of night, she ran aimlessly, with no direction, no purpose, only confusion. Finally, she did not know whether it was from exhaustion or if she tripped over something, but she plunged forward, tumbling to the ground.
Her hands and knees were scraped raw against the ground, blood slowly seeping out. Ling Chuxia stared blankly at her hands and knees. Despite the pain from the fall, why did it not ache even half as much as her heart did?
Ling Chuxia’s hand slowly moved to her chest, where there were no wounds, but the pain there was more intense than any injury, more tender. Ling Chuxia slowly curled up, burying her head in her knees, weeping silently.
When Shi Che and Ling Chuxia argued, Sister Hua was completely stunned. She couldn’t understand why the young master would suddenly lose his temper like that. Relationships between the two had been unmistakably heating up for some time, yet who could have anticipated such a sudden turnaround.
She listened to Shi Che’s furious roar, heard Ling Chuxia’s heartbreaking crying., feeling extremely anxious but helpless. After all, no matter what she said, she was just a maid., and had no place to mediate the fight.
Then, after Shi Che had vented his anger and left, Ling Chuxia cried heart-wrenchingly in the room. Sister Hua wanted to comfort her, but not knowing the entire story, she didn’t know what to say. She planned to wait until Ling Chuxia had calmed down a bit before trying to console her, but by the time she went up, the room was already empty.
Sister Hua stood at the bedroom doorway, stunned for several seconds, before hastily snapping to action, searching for Ling Chuxia throughout the villa. Yet after scouring the entire place, Ling Chuxia was nowhere to be found. A bad feeling swept over her; the Young Madam hadn’t run off too, had she? In her unstable state, she wouldn’t do anything foolish, right?
Sister Hua hurriedly called Ling Chuxia, but there was no answer, the phone ringing incessantly with a continuous droning tone. After several attempts with no response, she had no choice but to call President Shi.
Shi Che had been sitting in the car for quite some time, feeling progressively dizzier, when he took out his phone and called Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao arrived extremely quickly, and upon seeing the situation, he was utterly shocked. He instinctively wanted to ask what had happened, but, seeing Shi Che’s pallid complexion, he didn’t bother asking and instead carefully helped Shi Che out, saying, "President Shi, I’m taking you to the hospital now. Hang in there."
When Sister Hua made the call, Shi Che was on his way to the hospital, his dizziness growing severe. He leaned back in his seat, eyes closed, and Xiao Zhao answered his phone.
After hearing Sister Hua’s words, Xiao Zhao’s brows furrowed tightly. Glancing at Shi Che, he turned slightly away and covered the phone with his hand, speaking in a deliberately hushed voice, "Sister Hua, I don’t think the Young Madam would have gone very far. Could you please start by searching in the area around the villa? It’s not convenient for President Shi right now, he’s just been in a car accident and we’re heading to the hospital to have him checked out."
