Chapter 512: Chapter 512

Inside the VIP hospital room, besides Lu Tianming and Xu Qian, there were also Song Qiao, Xi Mohan who had just arrived at the hospital, as well as Jian Xia and Bo Leshen who accompanied Jian Xia.

The VIP hospital room itself was not small, but with these people standing in it, it felt as though space was insufficient.

Song Qiao sat on the other side of the bed, her gaze resting on Lu Jingchen, who was unconscious with his eyes closed. Her mind was filled with myriad thoughts, and although people around her were speaking, it was as if she heard nothing, entirely engulfed in her own world.

Right now, Jian Xia was annoyed by Bo Leshen, who followed her wherever she went. Her face did not show a good expression. When her gaze fell on Song Qiao, she paused for a moment, then decided to walk over and gently tapped her shoulder, calling softly, "Song Qiao..."

Song Qiao immediately turned her head to look at Jian Xia bending slightly beside her, blinked, and said, "Jian Xia? You’re here too."

Jian Xia felt a mix of amusement and helplessness. She had been there for quite some time already, and it seemed as though Song Qiao had only just noticed her, leaving Jian Xia unsure how to respond.

Seeing Song Qiao’s extremely pale complexion, Jian Xia still nodded and then spoke, "I heard from the servants outside that you came here this morning without eating anything. I haven’t had breakfast either. Could you accompany me to have breakfast?"

Actually, her relationship with Song Qiao was not that close. Initially, it was because of Lu Jingchen, and furthermore, because she was Lu Jingchen’s wife, that they had several contacts, which gradually led to familiarity.

Yet this didn’t stop her from really liking the kind of personality Song Qiao had, and the desire to become good friends with Song Qiao had never ceased.

Hearing Jian Xia’s words, Song Qiao turned her head to glance at Lu Jingchen, who still showed no signs of waking up, and did not immediately agree.

Xu Qian, originally distressed about her son’s car accident, quickly turned to Song Qiao upon hearing Jian Xia and directly said, "Xiao Qiao, you came here without having eaten anything? How can this be okay? Go have breakfast with Miss Jian, we will watch over here."

Xu Qian quite liked Song Qiao. Regardless of Song Qiao’s personality or her appearance, she couldn’t find it in herself to dislike her. She really didn’t know why her husband was dissatisfied with Song Qiao.

Previously, Xu Qian had investigated Song Qiao’s background and naturally saw her filial piety towards her grandfather.

Nowadays, people with filial piety like Song Qiao are rare, let alone considering Song Qiao’s character and morality, the children she’d bear would definitely not turn out bad.

Hearing Xu Qian’s words, Song Qiao looked up at Lu Tianming opposite her, and meeting Xu Qian’s tender gaze, she hesitated for a long while and finally nodded, uttering a sound of agreement.

She was no longer alone; starving herself was one thing, but she couldn’t starve the baby in her belly.

Outside the hospital, there were many restaurants and breakfast places. Jian Xia and Song Qiao, not being fussy people, casually picked one. Originally, Bo Leshen wanted to follow, but was pulled back by Xi Mohan, who said they needed to discuss a collaboration, giving Jian Xia and Song Qiao a chance to chat alone.

Since it was already past breakfast time, there were still quite a few late risers or night shift workers coming to eat. Jian Xia chose a spot by the window and sat with Song Qiao. When their meal was ordered, she looked at Song Qiao across the table and asked, "Song Qiao, are you... beginning to give up on this marriage now?"

Song Qiao, who was looking out the window, suddenly turned back and looked at Jian Xia with a calm gaze, her lips moving slightly, "Why would you think so?"

Jian Xia smiled, "It’s not what I am thinking, but rather, I seem to observe such thoughts in you."

Song Qiao went silent and was surprised that her feelings had been so transparently seen by Jian Xia.

However, after a moment, she spoke softly, "I don’t know right now, maybe I want to give up, but I feel like I can’t..."

After all, this was her first marriage, and Lu Jingchen was once good to her, even though she was often unhappy.

But, the tangled emotions inside her still kept her unsure of her true feelings. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

Maybe, it’s because she wasn’t ready to let go...

Jian Xia looked at Song Qiao and saw a hint of desolation. She was unsure if it was her imagination, but for a moment, Jian Xia even felt that Song Qiao seemed to be closing herself off in a world that no one else could enter.

That thought made Jian Xia’s heart skip a beat, and she dared not pursue the topic any further, quickly saying, "Maybe things aren’t as simple as they seem on the surface. I can tell that Lu Jingchen still cares for you."

Song Qiao remained silent.

Did Lu Jingchen care for her? Perhaps he did, or perhaps not.

Or maybe, Lu Jingchen just had a favorable impression of her but did not love her!

The two did not say much afterward. In fact, Song Qiao didn’t have much appetite, even feeling like she couldn’t eat, but thinking of the twin lives in her belly, she forced herself to finish the breakfast.

When they returned to the hospital, they hadn’t reached the hospital room’s door yet when they heard from a doctor, who had just come out of the room, that Lu Jingchen had woken up.

Upon hearing this news, Song Qiao quickly walked towards the hospital room, but as she reached the door and was about to push it open, she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks.

The atmosphere inside the room was good since Lu Jingchen had woken up. Even Xu Qian’s face bore a tearfully joyful smile, and Lu Tianming was no exception. At this moment, the hospital room almost echoed with laughter and joy. Lu Jingchen, sitting up in bed, was talking to Li Man in the wheelchair, whose face bore a bright smile. Murong Rui, who had previously appeared displeased, also sat aside, conversing intermittently with Li Man and Lu Jingchen.

For a moment, Song Qiao felt as if she and they were people from different worlds, and she simply had no way to step into their world. The joy inside that hospital room had nothing to do with her.

Or perhaps, it was the absence of her that brought such joyous scenes.
