Chapter 635 Escape
She placed her hand on the keyboard, and after much hesitation, she still typed it out. Actually, she thought that even if she said it, nothing would go wrong. Anyway, they were just strangers who happened to meet coincidentally.
Summer’s Not Over, “There’s someone who got addicted to drugs at home. He’s kicking it currently.”
A Sunny Day will Come, “Drug addiction? How did he get it?”
Summer’s Not Over, “It wasn’t his idea. Something happened. The drugs were specially made so it’s not easy to kick in. Now, he had just fallen asleep.”
A Sunny Day will Come, “Could you say who it is?”
“Who is it?” Xia Ruoxin’s fingers paused for a while before she slowly typed out two words.
“A friend.”
Summer’s Not Over,” Thank you for your understanding.”
A Sunny Day will Come, “It’s nothing. If you have any trouble, you can always tell me.”
Xia Ruoxin laughed. She had not laughed in a long time; it was as if a gust of wind blew over and had dissipated the mist in front of her for a while. Actually, that sentence was enough. She really did not have anything else she could bother other people with.
After turning the computer off, she walked to the front of Gao Yi’s room, opened the door, and walked in. Then, she took out a mattress from the cupboard and lay it on the floor. Recently, this was how she had been looking after him. As long as he made a slight move, she would wake up immediately.
Wei Lan was old, and she did not dare let her overly tire herself. Lately, their health and mental state had been affected enough. They really could not afford to have someone else fall sick.
Once she lay down and the moment her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep. She was tired to the point she could not even think of anything
At the other end of the world, Chu Lui whipped out his phone and gave Du Jingtang a call.
“Du Jingtang, help me book a ticket to England. I want to go there immediately. Help me look after the company matters first.”
“Oh…” Du Jingtang did not have much reaction. “Then, when are you coming back?”
“I don’t know.” Chu Lui threw that sentence as he immediately picked up his suit and walked towards the door.
The slow Du Jingtang then began reacting.
He was panicking in an instant.
“Don’t know, don’t know. You don’t know? Are you just going to throw the whole company at me?”
No matter how much he had to complain, Chu Lui still sat on the plane that same day and left the country. Meanwhile, all the work he left undone or done halfway was thrown at Du Jingtang; and Du Jingtang started his life as a slave; he scolded as he worked his butt off.
Pa! Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes in shock, sat up straight immediately, and looked towards the bed.
“I’m okay. I just woke up to use the washroom.” Gao Yi pulled open his blanket and came down to squat by her side, seeing the obvious eye bags below her eyes.
“Rest for a while, I’ll be back real soon.”
He helped Xia Ruoxin put her blanket, and there was really a moment that he felt like dying.
His situation was worse than he thought. He was really scared that even if he did not die, he would torment the two important women by his side until they died.
He splashed water on his face from time to time and stared at the fruit knife at the side. He walked over and took the knife in a scoop. This was the knife Xia Ruoxin usually used to cut apples: it was very sharp.
He was a doctor. He understood human anatomy really well.
He knew exactly where the fruit knife could go to end a person’s life immediately, without a single pain in the world.
He knew how he could cut the aorta to let him bleed to death in a matter of minutes. He also knew which organ—when piercedwould not even give time for resuscitation. However, he still placed the fruit knife down.
He still could not die yet.
He threw the fruit knife aside and walked out.
When he opened the door, Xia Ruoxin was already in deep sleep. It was hard on her to look after him, a dangerous character, both day and night.
He walked over, squatted down, and placed his hand on her face.
“Ruoxin, the luckiest thing I had in my whole life was meeting you. You’re a really good woman, but I’m so sorry. I lied to you in the end. I said I’ll marry you, but I ended up marrying someone else.
“I said I would lead you to a good life, but I made you follow me and experience this torture.
“Sorry… I’m really sorry…”
He kept saying sorry repeatedly, kept apologizing; but Ruoxin did not give him any response. It was not because she did not want to give, but she did not know what his apologies were for.
He lay back on his bed and covered his face. No one knew that in this dark and quiet night, the gentlemanly and warm man… was crying without a sound.
Xia Ruoxin closed the door and also shut the hollers inside.
She closed the door and sat down beside it, burying her face into her knees. It was happening again, when would it ever end?
“I’ll go check on him.” Wei Lan walked over, and her hands were already shaking by her side; even her body was shaking, too. It was worse than the previous, more painful and more intolerable than the previous.
Xia Ruoxin stood up and walked to the side to let Wei Lan in.
Gradually, the noise inside had died down. It should be done real soon. She laughed bitterly, and it wasted all of his energy. She walked into the kitchen and wanted to make something edible. They were all hungry, and this commotion had lasted from morning till now. It was almost noon, and they did not eat a single bite… and so did Gao Yi.
Just as she took out an egg from the fridge, she heard Wei Lan’s loud scream and hurried footsteps.
Pa! The egg in her hand dropped on the floor. Instantly, the egg white and yolk were forced to separate.
She ran out and saw Gao Yi dashing outside barefoot with Wei Lan following behind, her face already white.
“Ruoxin!” Wei Lan yelled Xia Ruoxin’s name.
Xia Ruoxin chased after him without hesitation. She was only thinking about one thing and one thing only. She could not let him leave, never. He had no form of sanity left: if he hurt someone or if someone else harmed him, what would happen? Besides, no one could know that he was kicking his drug habit; if not, how was he going to live under the eyes of everyone else?
Gao Yi placed his hand on the door handle, but he could not open the door after a long while. Suddenly, like a maniac, he bumped the door and used his two hands to push with all his might. The door gave way. The light outside was too bright, and it made him use his hand to block it. Just as he was about to dash forward, there was a pain in his neck. What he saw with his bloodshot eyes was a young man dressed nicely in a branded suit.
He closed his eyes and fell to the floor. Just then, a hand was extended to help him up.
“Xiao Yi…”
Wei Lan was scared until her legs were wobbly, and she fell back on the floor. She lost all ounce of energy in her body.
