Gradually, the same few words seemed to echo in her ears, becoming clearer and clearer, as if Shi Che stood before her, speaking coldly and cruelly.
Each word was like a fine, dense net enveloping her from all sides, trapping her within, leaving her unable to struggle free.
No, Shi Che could leave her, could divorce her, but the child... no! She only had this child left, she could not lose it, absolutely not.
She had to go, she had to leave now, she needed to get away from here, to run far away, she would not let Shi Che take her child, not ever!
Ling Chuxia struggled to prop up her body, clenching her teeth tightly, taking steps toward the door.
Her body was extremely weak at the moment, hardly able to stand up straight, but she moved, step by step, with difficulty.
Since Shi Che had already made his decision, he would act immediately, not allowing any accidents, he didn’t want her child, which meant he didn’t want it at all.
Maybe in the next second, a doctor would come to drag her to the operating room.
She had to leave quickly, she couldn’t let Shi Che catch her!
Ling Chuxia didn’t know where she found the strength, perhaps truly for the sake of her child, her steps became quicker and quicker.
Xiao Chen had been waiting outside, watching Ling Chuxia’s movements. He never expected her to suddenly rush out. Lifting his eyes, he saw her face, pale and terrifying, her lips devoid of color, her face nearly soaked with tears.
Her body seemed to shudder violently, her steps uneven, yet she ran, teeth clenched, as if something was chasing her.
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of confusion in his gaze. Had Yun Shu done something again? But he didn’t have time to think further, seeing Ling Chuxia running, he too lifted his feet and quickly followed.
The night had deepened, it was near midnight, and this was the hospital ward area. At this time, the corridor was exceptionally quiet and deserted.
Ling Chuxia ran through the silent corridor, her mind focused on one thought: she needed to leave this place, get away from here.
Because it was so quiet, even the deliberately lightened steps of Xiao Chen behind her created a faint sound.
Already in a highly sensitive state, Ling Chuxia heard the footsteps behind her clearly, her heart jolting, fear instantly engulfing her.
Someone was coming. Was it Shi Che? Was he coming to take her to terminate the pregnancy?
No, she wouldn’t let him catch her, she wouldn’t let him end her pregnancy, no, no!
Ling Chuxia clenched her teeth tighter, running faster, in a blind panic. Pain started to emerge from her abdomen, waves of aching sweeping over her. This pain caused Ling Chuxia to bend slightly at the waist. Her legs gave out, and she stumbled forward, falling heavily to the ground.
As she fell, Ling Chuxia felt something drop heavily inside her belly, and bright red blood began to trickle down her thighs, pooling drop by drop.
Blood... Ling Chuxia’s hand touched the warm fluid; fear overrode the pain as she looked up, her eyes hazy, seeing a shadow cast on the ground at the corner. Was it Shi Che? Was it him?
"Shi Che, save my child, you can leave me, you can divorce me, but please, save my child!"
