Chapter 1556. Encounter (5)
Her soft voice came through, and her calm breath started to fade. He reached out, trying to grab her subconsciously. However, she had already turned around.
“I’m leaving now. You should go back too. It’s time to rush back to your office.” As she bade him goodbye, her indifferent crimson lip line twitched, and before he could respond to her reaction, she had already walked towards the boarding gate. Her slender figure then disappeared in the aisle in front of him.
Qi Lei suppressed his urge to chase after her. He raised his hand and touched his lips as he felt the warmth on them dissipate. Only then did he realize that the people around him were staring at him, and he immediately felt a slight warmth on his cheeks for no special reason. He cleared his throat and took one last glimpse at the empty aisle before lowering his head silently. Then. he turned around and left…
As he passed through the VIP passageway, the enchanting scene kept on appearing in his mind. While he walked towards the exit of the airport, there was the sound of disordered footsteps coming from behind him. Then, there was a thud as if something had fallen to the ground.
Qi Lei turned around to take a look subconsciously, only to witness a middle-aged woman on the ground in the aisle. On the side, there was another woman, who was also wearing a black formal suit, trying to help the middle-aged woman get back on her feet. While doing so, she anxiously asked out of concern, “Attorney Song, are you okay? You haven’t been resting for the past three days. It can’t be delayed any longer. If not, you’ll collapse before the court.”
The woman known as Attorney Song looked exceptionally pale. The dark circles under her eyes were so obvious that even the makeup that she applied on her face could not hide her fatigue. The woman beside her should be her assistant. She was carrying a few bags and briefcases in her hands, hence it was not convenient for her to move around at the moment.
“I’m fine. The Tian Hai case must be won. The opponent’s tone sounded very affirmative, so they must still have something else up their sleeve. We can’t afford to lose this battle. Otherwise, we don’t need to rush this.” The middle-aged woman stood up, pressed against the wall with one hand for some support, while her other hand was applying pressure to her abdomen area. However, her sight went dark suddenly and she dropped to the ground again before she could stand back up.
“Attorney Song!” When the woman beside her saw this, her expression changed all of a sudden. She reached out to try to support her, and everything she was carrying scattered to the ground.
Qi Lei hesitated for a split second before he approached them immediately and grabbed Attorney Song, who had dropped to the ground out cold. He said in his deep voice, “Let’s send her to the hospital.”
