Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce

Yet his finger hesitated on the phone screen, unable to press down.

He was aware of his feelings; he had grown much closer to Chuxia during this time, but he also felt that there was always a barrier between them, invisible and intangible. He dared not probe what it might be.

For he feared that he might once again open Pandora’s box, which is why sometimes, even when he saw things clearly, he’d rather choose to remain oblivious.

Shi Che closed his eyes briefly, steadied the strength in his body, then opened his eyes and touched the screen—not to redial Ling Chuxia’s number, but to call Sister Hua.

Ling Chuxia, in the end, fell asleep, but her sleep was restless, as if her heart was burdened with many concerns, unable to find peace.

The door was gently knocked, and the moment the sound echoed, Ling Chuxia awoke.

Having slept for a while, she felt somewhat better, but per the doctor’s orders, she should stay in bed for five days after surgery. Lying there, she said in a weak voice, "Come in."

The door opened, and Sister Hua walked in with a tray. Ling Chuxia slightly opened her eyes to see Sister Hua, who swiftly approached and set the tray aside, looking at Ling Chuxia’s complexion with concern in her eyes, "Young Madam, how are you feeling? Shall I call the doctor to come and check on you again?"

Ling Chuxia gently shook her head, "I’m fine, the doctor said that with good rest, I will be well in a few days."

With that, Sister Hua had nothing more to say, only offering, "Then you must rest well, and remember to call me if you feel uncomfortable."
