Chapter 232 - 231: Injured (7)
She was in so much pain that she kept grabbing Shi Che’s hand, her nails digging into his hand, leaving marks---one could only imagine how much it hurt. Ling Chuxia was startled, suddenly withdrawing her hand, blinking her eyes, and timidly saying, "Sorry...I’m so sorry."
Shi Che’s dark eyes briefly swept over Ling Chuxia’s retracted hand. His fingers twitched slightly, then slowly clenched. His eyes narrowed; he didn’t speak, but moved straight forward, scooping up Ling Chuxia in his arms, and turned to walk outside.
Caught off guard, Ling Chuxia’s body lifted into the air, and she involuntarily let out a small cry. Instinctively, her hands wrapped around Shi Che’s neck to stabilize herself. However, as she came to her senses, her hands slowly retreated, merely gently pinching Shi Che’s clothing.
With an expressionless face, Shi Che strode towards the outside of the hospital. Because of her foot injury, Ling Chuxia couldn’t fuss and insist Shi Che put her down to walk on her own. As she was being carried by him, walking under the watchful eyes of the public, Ling Chuxia inevitably felt unaccustomed. She always felt like people’s gazes were drifting towards them, intentionally or not. Ling Chuxia’s pale face reddened slightly, she lowered her eyes, buried her head down, and her forehead unintentionally touched Shi Che’s chest.
Through the thin shirt, Shi Che could feel Ling Chuxia’s very light touch. His eyes slightly lowered, and his gaze could only see her dark hair, so obediently nestled against his chest. The light in the depth of his eyes, unknowingly, gradually softened, slowly eased.
Old Zhu had already collected the medicine and was waiting at the door. Seeing them come out, he immediately walked to the back seat, opened the car door, Shi Che carried Ling Chuxia into the car, Old Zhu shut the door, ran to the driver’s seat, sat down, started the car, and drove away.
