Chapter 504 Stay or Go
Huo Shen's words were completely different from Mrs. Huo's "Thank you for your hard work" at that time.
An Xiaowan raised the corners of her lips, tightly grasped the cloth on his chest, and slowly fell asleep.
This was probably the most peaceful sleep she had in recent days. She didn't have to worry about him waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to find her, she didn't have to worry about his condition getting worse, and she didn't have to worry about his body temperature dropping instead of rising.
The night was gentle.
Huo Shen lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms, but his eyes were even softer than the night.
——
Leiyin City.
After a heavy rain, the whole city was filled with a fresh scent of grass and trees after the rain. Every street was clean and seemed to be more beautiful than before.
That night, the bloodstains on the ground disappeared quietly.
Xia Duo had a 24-hour agreement with An Xiaowan at that time. During that day, she had been in the underground ward, waiting for Si Linghan.
The dark room was dark and no sunlight could be seen.
It was just like the days when she was imprisoned, except that now, Si Linghan was the one who couldn't move.
She had never thought that one day, she would be able to bring Si Linghan here and imprison him.
She had no idea what happened outside. She only knew that Si Linghan had not woken up, the medical equipment had been running safely, and the doctors came to check from time to time.
Xia Duo was afraid of darkness and isolation, but she found that when Si Linghan was really silent, this fear seemed not so obvious.
Instead, there was another feeling.
Obviously she hated him so much that she wished he would disappear completely, divorce and never contact again, but now seeing him lying weakly on the bed, Xia Duo actually felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Outside, it was dark and bright again.
Finally, there was a message from An Xiaowan on the phone, telling her that everything was fine.
Then Secretary Kong found this place and took Xia Duo and Si Linghan out together.
The people in the Si family all had strange attitudes. But Xia Duo didn't care. After all, they had always been hostile and prejudiced against her, and she had long been accustomed to it.
"Madam, do you know how much Miss An has caused us to lose?" Secretary Kong looked at Xia Duo and frowned fiercely.
Xia Duo bit her lip and said nothing.
"The young master has really done a lot for you. Madam, why don't you want to go back with the young master? No matter what you want, the young master will give it to you and will try his best to satisfy you. How can you be so cruel as to shoot him?" Secretary Kong asked one sentence after another, and every word was full of strong condemnation.
Condemn? What on earth do they have to condemn her?
Is it all her fault?
The people of the Xia family blamed her for not pleasing Si Linghan well, otherwise, it would have helped the Xia family become a more powerful wealthy family. The people of the Si family blamed her for not treating Si Linghan well, otherwise, they would have been able to stay together happily and he would not have been hurt.
But has anyone thought about her?
Her freedom, her life, her love, her self.
Should she give in, be weak, bear everything, and live only for others just because of Si Linghan?
Xia Duo clenched her hands at her side, letting her nails dig into her flesh without loosening them.
"Madam, we will take the young master back to China for treatment tomorrow. Will you stay or go with us?" Secretary Kong asked with a frown.
The air fell into a heavy silence.
After a while, Xia Duo took a breath and said, "I will also... go back to China."
After all, she fired the gun.
Xia Duo smiled bitterly.
Was Si Linghan's idea?
