"No need, I’m fine," Ling Chuxia closed her eyes, her voice frail as a mosquito’s. "I want to rest now."
Although the nurse was still somewhat worried, seeing her say this, she could only add, "Then Miss Ling, please rest well. I’ll be leaving now. If there’s anything you need, remember to press the service light."
Ling Chuxia slowly nodded, and the nurse turned and left, gently closing the door of the ward behind her.
Lying in bed, Ling Chuxia’s heart plummeted to the bottom of a valley. She had thought to hide the child’s existence forever, never to let Shi Che know... That this child was her own alone. But she had never expected such an accident to occur.
Eventually, the truth would come out.
Shi Che knew, and was probably very angry... furious, right? That must be why he had come to the door of the ward but didn’t enter. Did he consider her unworthy even of confrontation?
Indeed, he had always been against her having his child. Now that she had deceitfully involved him over and over again, one could only imagine his fury.
The image of an enraged Shi Che appeared in Ling Chuxia’s mind, his violence and cold hostility shaking her even more. Her head was a total mess; she couldn’t think of anything.
Her hand gripped her phone so tightly, the square edges digging into her palm, but the pain could not bring her consciousness back to reality.
What should she do? What would Shi Che think of the child? What would he do? Could he... reject the child?
Ling Chuxia dared not think or guess Shi Che’s thoughts now, but since it had happened, there was no possibility of flight. Instead of waiting for Shi Che to announce his decision, she would rather take the initiative to fight to keep the child.
Recently, he had shown her gentleness, care, and patience. She wasn’t sure why he had changed, but she could still sense a trace of Shi Che’s sincerity.
Perhaps, he at least liked her a little bit?
Maybe, because of this little bit of fondness, he would agree to let her keep the child?
Ling Chuxia tried hard to recall the recent times, Shi Che’s smiles at her, the spoiling and gentleness, and her fear began to fade a little.
She even thought that maybe Shi Che didn’t come in to see her because he couldn’t accept the situation immediately. If she sincerely apologized to him, he might accept it?
Thinking this, Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but lift her phone again, fingers trembling as she input one number after another. Finally, with determination, her finger hovered over the call button, ready to press it.
Ling Yunshu looked at the phone lying quietly on the table. The light in her eyes dimmed bit by bit. She couldn’t help but reach out and pick up the phone.
She pressed the HOME button; the screen lit up and asked for a password. Ling Yunshu unhesitatingly entered Ling Chuxia’s birthday. The password was correct, and the phone unlocked.
Ling Yunshu’s hand, holding the phone, began to tremble.
Previously, Shi Che had always been hot and cold towards her, his attitude distant and somewhat indifferent. On the surface, she seemed unaffected, but in reality, she was very anxious.
Shi Che was a mystery to her; she couldn’t tell what he was thinking or how deeply he felt for her. She could see through everyone else, but not him. She was filled with uncertainty, unsure if Shi Che truly liked her.
