Chapter 203 Severed Connection
He lost control over her, went off track, and the line was severed. —Xicheng Tears
Dawn is approaching, and in the break of day, the wispy fog dissipates, the cold morning light filling the sky.
Gao Chuan startles awake, turns his head to find no one by his side, a hint of panic coloring his eyes as he quickly gets out of bed and strides out of the bedroom, frantically searching for Jiang An’s figure.
Not until he paces to the living room and hears a faint noise from the kitchen does he slowly approach and find the girl busy at work, and he finally lets out a breath of relief.
The tender yellow sunshine spills through the blinds, casting uneven shadows, and the girl in an apron stands by the stove, her slender figure catching Gao Chuan’s eye as his expression gradually softens.
Having practiced medicine for years, he thought he had grown indifferent to life and death, separation, and had been accustomed to living alone for so many years—he had never imagined that on a most ordinary morning, the absence of her presence could stir such unprecedented panic in him.
It seems, he truly cannot be without her.
Jiang An hears the noise from the outside living room, slightly turns around and sees the man paralyzed in place with a puzzled look, and after pausing, she speaks, "You’re up, come have breakfast!"
Their gazes briefly meet, the girl’s melodious voice enters his ears, and Gao Chuan returns to his senses with a nod and quietly walks over.
Sitting beside the dining table, Jiang An brings over two fried eggs, sliding one of them in front of Gao Chuan.
