Shi Che’s deep voice suddenly broke the silence, and the next second, his tall figure rushed in and went straight to Sister Hua. Because Sister Hua was sitting, Shi Che came close to her; his form blocked out all the light in front of her. His dark eyes were fixed on her, and as he spoke in a deep tone, there was an almost imperceptible tremble, "Sister Hua, did you say Chuxia came back?"
Shi Che’s sudden appearance startled Mrs. Shi and Sister Hua, especially Sister Hua; as Shi Che’s dark eyes bore into hers, she involuntarily swallowed her saliva a few times and was momentarily speechless.
"Hurry up and speak!"
Shi Che had almost no patience and burst out again, his voice louder, startling Sister Hua and involuntarily prompting her to blurt out, "Yes, Young Madam came back!"
Nervously, she referred to her again as Young Madam!
Shi Che, however, was struck directly by her words, those six words slowly reverberating in his ears over and over again.
Young Madam came back...
"When?" he asked almost dazedly, his voice appearing to float in midair.
Sister Hua didn’t dare delay, responding immediately, "It was that day Madam woke up."
The day Madam woke up? Wasn’t that the day he was drunk?
Images that he hadn’t forgotten these past few days suddenly flooded his mind. Although the images had been blurry and he couldn’t make them clear however much he tried, at this moment, the scenes in his mind suddenly became crystal clear.
This wasn’t a beautiful dream of his; it was real, Chuxia had really come back, and that day, they had indeed... done it.
He had truly embraced her, truly kissed her...
But why, if she had come back, did she leave again? Why, every time, did she leave so heartlessly?
Shi Che’s hands hanging at his sides unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter, his dark eyes darkening profoundly. Abruptly, he turned and strode away.
Once he stepped out of the hospital, Shi Che got into the car and commanded in a stern voice, "Back to the villa, quickly."
Old Zhu felt Shi Che’s urgency but didn’t ask any further questions. Pressing the accelerator firmly, the car sped off.
Since Chuxia had returned to the villa, then the villa’s front gate surveillance should have captured her. If she was leaving, she definitely would have taken a vehicle. He needed to know what vehicle she took and in which direction she went. This time, he was determined to find her, absolutely!
Arriving back at the villa, Shi Che went straight to the surveillance room. The surveillance staff fetched the footage from that day, and Shi Che watched intently.
He thought about the approximate time and tuned into that specific timeframe. Soon, a car came into view from a distance.
Shi Che recognized it instantly; it was the black Audi he had seen unintentionally from the doorway on that day. His dark eyes narrowed.
Quickly, the Audi stopped at the front gate, and a man got out from the driver’s seat. Because his back was to the surveillance, Shi Che couldn’t see his face, but he saw him walk straight into the gate. Since the camera could only capture the scene outside the gates and not the inside yard, it took a moment before the man was seen assisting Ling Chuxia to walk out.
When Chuxia’s figure appeared completely in the camera’s view, Shi Che’s heart clenched fiercely, his dark eyes glued to the screen.
