Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Driven to Death
It might be that he doesn’t like the feeling of being questioned.
He likes even less the feeling of his Mommy being questioned.
Momo said to Lin Qi, “Mommy, no matter what he thinks, just know that I will always believe in you unconditionally.”
Lin Qi woke up, and Song Shuyan did too.
Huo Tingdong entered the ward, and the woman in the bed was already awake.
The doctor said, “Mr. Huo, Miss Song has woken up.”
Huo Tingdong said, “You may leave, I have something to ask her.”
He dragged a stool over and sat down beside the bed.
The stool was very low, so there was nowhere to put his legs; he could only cross them and leaned against the wall, his gaze falling on Song Shuyan’s face.
Song Shuyan opened her eyes, staring fixedly at the ceiling, she instinctively raised her hand to touch her face, half of her face drooped severely, her muscles sagging, unable to form any expression.
Meanwhile, she felt an unbearable itching all over her body, she controlled her hands from scratching, but she couldn’t help but toss and turn restlessly.
“Now that you’re awake, answer a few questions for me.”
Beside her, Huo Tingdong’s cold voice came.
Song Shuyan looked in the direction of his voice, furrowing her brows, her memory was somewhat fragmented, Han had fiercely stabbed her Baihui Acupoint with a needle, causing issues with her memory chain, the last memory she had was of pushing Lin Qi down.
What happened after that, she couldn’t remember clearly.
What happened to her face?
Why were there so many poison vesicles on her face and body?
These poison vesicles were unbearably itchy, itching to the point of agony, yet she dared not scratch them as she studied medicine and knew that if she broke them, they would leave pockmarked scars on her face and body.
Song Shuyan said, “Tingdong, why am I here, what happened to me?”
Huo Tingdong suspected, “The doctor said you were brought to the hospital by a taxi driver, only you know exactly what happened.”
Song Shuyan was startled and tried hard to recall, but could not figure it out.
Huo Tingdong questioned, “Does Lin Qi’s fall injury have anything to do with you?”
Song Shuyan was severely shocked.
She didn’t remember other things, but this incident, she remembered most clearly.
How did Huo Tingdong suspect her?
She believed she had managed this matter flawlessly.
She watched as Lin Qi fell, landing in a pool of blood, from such a high place, she should be dead.
No surveillance, no evidence, no witnesses, why would he suspect her?
Song Shuyan flatly denied, “I didn’t! Tingdong, do you suspect that I pushed her down? Why would I do that?”
Huo Tingdong said, “I don’t care about the reason, I just want one answer from you now, ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Song Shuyan, don’t lie to me, you know I hate being lied to, even if the person lying is you.”
Song Shuyan unwillingly asked, “So what if it’s true, so what if it’s not?” She was eager to know an answer.
What if he knew it was her who did it?
Huo Tingdong suddenly stood up and fiercely grabbed her throat.
Song Shuyan was startled, unable to retreat in time, she widened her eyes in shock and instinctively clenched his hand, struggling desperately.
The power disparity between men and women is fully displayed in this moment.
He became angry, furiously enraged!
Was he really going to strangle her?
No matter how much she struggled, she felt she could only breathe limited air, a strong sense of suffocation came over her, and her brain went blank due to lack of oxygen.
Song Shuyan’s entire face instantly turned the color of a pig’s liver.
“Cough… cough cough… Huo Tingdong…” she weakly called out his name.
Huo Tingdong seemed to be really going for the kill, and she was terrified.
Huo Tingdong clenched his teeth tightly, his burning gaze strangling her face, “If it were you, I would kill you.”
Song Shuyan’s chest trembled, and instinctively cried out, “Bro… brother…”
That moan brought back his sanity.
Huo Tingdong suddenly let go of his hands.
Song Shuyan held her throat, coughing violently, both resentful and aggrieved she painfully said, “Tingdong… cough cough… are you going to wrong me to death? I’m a doctor, I only save people, how could I possibly harm anyone… cough cough, who told you, who slandered me…”
Huo Tingdong coldly said, “Lin Qi has awakened, when she regains consciousness, I will clarify the entire situation. Since you say it wasn’t you, I’ll believe you this time, but if I find out it was you, you will bear the consequences!”
Song Shuyan shivered violently when she heard Lin Qi had awakened.
She saw Huo Tingdong turning to leave and instinctively tried to make him stay, “Tingdong! Tingdong, you believe her, you don’t believe me, do you? You’ve changed, you were never this rough with me before!” She always thought she was special in Huo Tingdong’s heart.
He promised her brother; he would protect her with his life and take care of her forever.
He almost took her life for that Lin Qi.
Huo Tingdong coldly stated, “She is Han’s life, and Han is my life.”
Leaving those words, he turned and strode away.
Song Shuyan gnashed her teeth in anger, scratched her face, but still felt an unbearable itch.
“Ah!!” Song Shuyan suddenly collapsed, sweeping away the respirator and ECG on the side, and yanking out the IV needle in her hand.
Song Shuyan walked out of the hospital room barefoot, still holding the eyebrow razor in her hand, pressing it hard against her wrist, “Since you protect her so much, since you suspect it was me who pushed her, then I’ll give my life to her then!”
Huo Tingdong turned around, and saw Song Shuyan fiercely cutting her wrist, “I give my life back to her!”
The man was shocked, “What are you doing?”
Song Shuyan said, “Tingdong, if I can’t have you, if I can’t have your heart, what meaning is there in my life?” While speaking, she forcefully cut her wrist with the eyebrow razor.
Doctors and nurses rushed over, startled by the scene.
“Miss Song, don’t be impulsive!”
“Miss Song, calm down a bit, don’t do something foolish…”
The doctors and nurses tried to approach, but Song Shuyan waved the eyebrow razor, her eyes red, she shouted hoarsely, “Don’t come closer!”
She pressed the razor against her wrist again, despairingly said, “Tingdong, I’m disillusioned with you. I’ve done so much for you, sacrificed so much, and just that one sentence from you is enough to negate my whole life. What’s the point of me living? I’d rather die, end it all, to be with my brother…”
Huo Tingdong stood there, his fists clenched tightly, cracking sounds, “Am I to understand that, you’re threatening me?”
He could see, Song Shuyan was pushing him with her life.
Being a shrewd, cunning man, he naturally realized, Song Shuyan wanted a mutually assured destruction.
This action of hers was enough to indirectly prove, Lin Qi, it was really her who pushed her…
