The doctor arrived quickly and gave Ling Yunshu a thorough examination before removing his stethoscope and turning to Ling Chuxia, "There’s no serious issue. She likely fell unconscious due to so shock. Let her rest well, and she should be fine once she wakes up."
Stimulated...
Ling Chuxia’s heart clenched tightly, and her body swayed slightly, nearly losing her balance.
The doctor looked at Ling Chuxia’s pale face, furrowed his brows, and spoke, "Your complexion looks quite poor as well. Do you need to check on you?"
Ling Chuxia steadied herself and shook her head slowly, "No need, Doctor. Thank you."
"In that case, I’ll be leaving now." The doctor nodded at Ling Chuxia and left with his dical kit in hand.
The room suddenly quieted down, and Ling Chuxia stood there dazedly, her gaze slowly falling onto Ling Yunshu’s face. She was sleeping peacefully, her complexion frighteningly pale. If not for the faint rise and fall of her chest, Chuxia would have almost thought she...
Guilt and self-reproach spread uncontrollably within her, and, unconsciously, Ling Chuxia took two steps back.
For her own sake, she had resolved to be honest with her elder sister, yet she had ignored her elder sister’s feelings.
She knew all along that her elder sister was wholeheartedly in love with Shi Che. Her sister had returned this ti to be with Shi Che, yet Chuxia... Chuxia was unwilling to step aside.
She had promised her elder sister but now was going back on her word.
How hurt, angry, and wronged must her elder sister feel?
However, from beginning to end, her sister hadn’t uttered a single word of rebuke. But Chuxia was only thinking about clearing the air, wanting to confess everything to Shi Che without any worries...
Ling Chuxia suddenly covered her mouth, but the tears still spilled out.
This was the elder sister she loved most. How could she treat her like this? How could she hurt her like this?
The tears slid slowly down her cheeks as Ling Chuxia tightly pressed her lips together. Finally, she turned around and dashed out of the room.
-
The mont Ling Chuxia ran out of the room, Ling Yunshu, who had been lying in bed, slowly opened her eyes. She turned her face slightly and looked in the direction where Ling Chuxia had left, staring intently for quite so ti. Then her gaze darkened bit by bit.
Ling Chuxia had fallen in love with Shi Che... She had actually fallen for Shi Che... Ling Yunshu’s hands clenched fiercely, and her beautiful face was involuntarily shadowed by an extre gloom.
Her eyes narrowed deeply as the mory of that night three years ago involuntarily resurfaced in her mind.
That night was a humiliation and heartbreak she would never forget in her life, the mont she was cast from heaven into hell. That feeling gnawed at her day and night, nearly driving her insane.
She rembered vividly the day Mrs. Shi had asked Shi Che to choose between her and Ling Chuxia as his wife.
There had never been any suspense about the question.
Over the years, Shi Che and she were publicly acknowledged as a well-matched couple, a match made in heaven. Although Shi Che had never explicitly expressed anything to her, he never denied others’ teasing either.
She knew that Shi Che was always quite reserved, which was why he hadn’t openly expressed his feelings, but he liked her. And she liked him, no, perhaps it was more accurate to say she deeply loved him.
Their mutual admiration and affection ant naturally they should be together, and indeed Shi Che had chosen her.
Even though she knew Shi Che would certainly choose her, when his finger pointed at her, she still felt an intense joy surging through her heart, which thumped vehently as if it would leap out of her chest.
