Chapter 483: Chapter 483
Ling Chuxia’s hands hanging by her sides clenched fiercely, a deep concern flashing in her eyes. Shi Che would get a headache every time he drank and now he had consumed so much, this...
As Ling Yunshu spoke, her gaze silently observed Chuxia, watching her worried expression. Frustration surged in her heart but she forcefully suppressed it and continued, "Actually, Madam’s condition, it’s not his fault. Madam’s health has been... But you know, although Shi Che doesn’t show it, he really cares about Madam in his heart. He can’t help feeling guilty."
"I can’t leave for now; I need to look after Madam. Now that you’re back, could you go and comfort Shi Che?"
"Me?" Ling Chuxia’s hands tightened even more. "Can I really do that?"
At this moment, she didn’t dare hope to really comfort Shi Che. After all, her elder sister was also by his side. She had come back just wanting to be with him, to silently stay by his side.
"Of course, after all, you were once husband and wife... weren’t you?"
Her elder sister understood, allowing her to go and comfort Shi Che, and Chuxia felt infinitely grateful. Indeed, her elder sister was always so kind and empathetic; it was no wonder Shi Che liked her.
Looking at Ling Yunshu, Chuxia’s voice lowered involuntarily, "Yeah, sister, thank you."
"Silly girl, what’s there to thank me for? I should be thanking you for helping me." Ling Yunshu paused, then continued, "For now, go check on Madam."
Ling Chuxia nodded, ready to head back when Ling Yunshu spoke again, "Xiaxia, you head back to the ward first. You seem to have rushed over in a hurry; even your shoes are missing. I’ll have someone prepare a new set of clothes and shoes for you, okay?"
It was only then that Ling Chuxia noticed that she was missing one shoe and her other foot was bare, the originally fair and tender skin now dusty and dirty.
She lowered her eyes somewhat embarrassedly, "Then I’ll trouble you, sister."
Ling Yunshu bent her lips into a soft smile. "Go back first. I’ll be there soon."
Ling Chuxia turned around and slowly shuffled towards the ward, step by step, as Ling Yunshu stood watching her receding figure until she entered the ward. Then she took out her phone and dialed Xiao Chen’s number.
As soon as Xiao Chen’s voice came through, Ling Yunshu cut straight to the chase, "Prepare a clean set of clothes and shoes for me and also... a kind of medicine."
Ling Yunshu’s red lips parted slowly as she pronounced the name of the medicine. Xiao Chen on the other end fell silent for a moment before finally speaking, his voice frighteningly deep. "Yun Shu, what do you need that medicine for? Are you planning to... give it to Shi Che?"
"Don’t worry about what I am doing. Just prepare it immediately; I need it now!"
"Yun Shu, can’t you see it clearly even now? Despite everything you’ve done, Shi Che holds no feelings for you; why take such a risk?"
Everything she had done, yet Shi Che held no feelings for her...
That statement struck her like a sharp blade fiercely stabbing into her heart. Yun Shu’s eyes suddenly widened, filled with resentment and unwillingness, her voice sharply piercing, "Shut up! Xiao Chen, how I choose to act is none of your concern. But I assure you, I won’t give up just like that; I must have him!"
