Chapter 115 - 114: Why Apologize
Chapter 114 Why Apologize
Jiang An got up early to cook porridge, and right now it was steaming hot by the girl’s side, making a "woo woo" sound as if it had just come to a boil. The wisps of steam were rising when she suddenly paused at the sound of a man’s voice coming from behind her.
"I’m sorry, I got drunk last night..." said Gao Chuan, pulling at his slightly hoarse voice, clearing his throat midway, still with groggy, sleepy eyes.
The girl standing by the kitchen counter was taken aback, the man’s apology causing her mind to go blank as a layer of despondent emotion veiled her delicate face. The spatula in her hand dropped to the floor with a crisp sound. She quickly bent down to pick it up but accidentally knocked over the salt shaker next to her. Frowning, her fingers touched the scorching heat and "hissed" as they recoiled instantly.
Her frantic movements caught the eye of Gao Chuan not far away. He was about to walk over when his phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He sighed, took it out, and his face tensed upon hearing the message, "Prepare everything, I’ll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Chuan turned to look at Jiang An, who was still squatting on the ground, and sighed slightly before saying, "There’s an urgent situation at the hospital, I need to rush over now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang An didn’t look up, a sudden tightness in her heart. Without looking at the man behind her, it felt as though cotton was stuffing her throat. "Hurry over," she said dully.
As she spoke, she reached for the scattered pieces of broken glass beside her. It wasn’t until Gao Chuan grabbed his coat and hurried out the door that she collapsed onto the floor, a cut from the glass on her pale hand oozing droplets of blood. Ignoring the throbbing pain in her fingers, she covered her face with her hand, tears streaming silently through her fingers.
Why apologize, why apologize...
