Chapter 275 - 274 Where Did You Go? (10)
Ling Chuxia left her room, quickly dressed herself, adjusted her appearance slightly, and started walking downstairs. She didn’t dare to disturb Sister Hua or the driver, so her steps were very light and slow, stepping out of the villa one by one.
Before leaving, she had called for a ride-hailing service. Just as she walked out the front door, the car arrived. She swiftly pulled open the rear door, sat inside, told the driver the destination, and the car slowly drove away.
The moment the car departed, Ling Chuxia tilted her head to the side, her eyes involuntarily glancing toward the second-floor windows. It was pitch black, with only the vague sight of the curtain fluttering in the wind. Ling Chuxia turned her head back, lowered her eyes to look at the object she was clutching in her hand, and slowly closed her eyes.

When Ling Chuxia returned from the hospital, it was already past four in the morning. The whole villa was very quiet, so much so that even her breathing seemed loud and clear.
In the entryway, Ling Chuxia took off her shoes and didn’t dare to put on slippers. Holding them in her hands, she walked barefoot on the floor, feeling the cold touch of the ground beneath her feet, which made her walk even slower.
Upon reaching the upstairs bedroom, Ling Chuxia gently pushed open the door. She looked over to see Shi Che still lying quietly on the bed, just as he was when she had left. Her heart, which had been suspended, relaxed slightly. She held her breath, took a step, and walked toward the large bed.
Reaching the side of the bed, Ling Chuxia silently changed into her nightgown. She glanced at Shi Che, then softly lifted the covers, about to lie down. But just as she sat on the bed, a deep voice suddenly broke the silence of the night, a bit husky, "Where did you go?"
The sound startled Ling Chuxia, who was already feeling somewhat guilty. In an instant, her whole heart shook, and her movements froze, her heart racing.
