Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Mom is in the ICU
In the bathroom.
Qiao Ruoxin stood in front of the washstand, glanced at herself in the mirror, and was truly frightened by the sight.
There were many marks left on her snow-white skin, and the refreshing, pleasant scent of a man lingered all over her.
She looked at her cell phone, the first ssage was from her father, who sent her one every year on her birthday, but she never paid attention to it.
The second ssage made Qiao Ruoxin’s pupils suddenly constrict!
Her complexion turned pale in an instant.
Her fingertips trembled as she dialed Simon’s number, which was quickly connected.
“Baby, this is the first ti you’ve called
since you disappeared.”
Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t be bothered with small talk, “How is my mom?”
“Hmm, she was admitted to the ICU last night, and the situation is not very good. You’d better co back to see her. She’s been talking about you all the ti.”
Her tears flowed from her eyes, and her voice was fragile, “Got it.”
Then, she hung up the call.
Qiao Ruoxin placed her phone aside, walked under the shower, and let the warm water wash over her.
She couldn’t help but close her eyes, the scenes of her mother’s actions towards her over the past two years flooding her mind.
Touching her bottom line again and again in the na of love, using morality, and using family ties to hold her hostage.
…
After her shower, Qiao Ruoxin, wearing a white bathrobe, ca out and walked to the bed, finding that Master Mo was still sound asleep.
The deeper he slept at this mont, the crazier he had been last night, as if venting or punishing her.
She quietly climbed onto the bed, softly calling out, “Mo Chen, brother? Wake up…”
The man’s handso face was exhausted, his brow slightly furrowed, but he didn’t open his eyes; instead, he pulled the little ghost into his arms who called his na.
One arm encircled Qiao Ruoxin’s slender waist and the other cupped her head, imprisoning her in his embrace.
“Stay with
for a little while longer,” his languid voice murmured unclearly.
Qiao Ruoxin looked up at his handso features and tentatively probed, “Mo Chen, brother, I want to go to the United States for a few days. I’ll be back in a few days, is that okay?”
Three seconds passed, or maybe ten…
The man opened his eyes; the languor was gone, replaced by a cold look. He looked down at her displeased, “Qiao Ruoxin, do you have to bring
down when I’m feeling okay?”
Qiao Ruoxin felt the grip on her slender waist tighten, causing her pain and making it difficult to breathe.
“My mom is in the ICU. She is still my mom, and I have to see her!”
“…”
Deathly silence.
Suddenly, Mo Chen let out a self-deprecating cold laugh, “When did you decide? Was all your obedience last night just for this?”
“No, I only saw it just now.”
How could this bastard think of her that way?
“…”
The man fell into an icy silence once again.
Neither of them would budge.
Qiao Ruoxin added, “Then will you co with ?”
Mo Chen looked down at her, his voice deep and ruthless, “I’m busy, I don’t have ti. There’s a board eting next week, and my installation ceremony is happening during those days. My father is going to announce my joining the board at the birthday banquet.”
He really did seem busy…
“I promise to be back before your birthday, is that okay?”
“…” He just watched her soulful eyes and didn’t want to respond at all.
“Mo Chen! Can’t you just put yourself in my shoes? That’s my mom! She’s now in the ICU, how can I…”
Watching her get angry, the man suddenly kissed her furiously, drowning out all her unfinished words.
“Mmm!”
“Qiao Ruoxin! Your mouth is only fit for kissing, not for talking!”
