His body was heavier than she had imagined, and the skinny little girl was struggling to support him. Luckily, he could still walk by himself, so it wasn't that hard for him to put him on the bed, after all that tossing and turning, seeing that it was already dark outside, and thinking that the baby was still waiting for her at home, she couldn't leave, so she could only go downstairs to the kitchen to heat him up and drink. After half a minute, the temperature on his body continued to stay high, showing no signs of cooling down at all.
The whole villa was so big, it was unknown where the thermometer was kept. Even if there was, it was unknown when and when she found it, so she hurriedly helped him up from the bed, one hand holding his shoulder and the other holding his arm, consoling him, "I'll send you to the hospital, you can't drag this on any longer, it'll be dangerous if you keep burning …"
Jiang Lingchen's forehead was covered in cold sweat, as he said dispiritedly, "I'm not going, you're going …."
He was already so sick, and he still needed to be a slave! Just thinking about it made her angry, but seeing how hot he was, she could not get angry. She could only grit her teeth and hold on tightly to his tottering body, afraid that he would fall down alone. She let out a long breath, "I'll send you to the hospital so you can leave …"
He looked at her for a while, his eyes becoming a little brighter. He whispered, "Why are you here?"
Bai Jinxi was startled. She had already been here for more than two hours, and he only found out about her now? With an itch in his heart, his hands unconsciously tightened around Ye Zichen's body, "If the customer can't find you, then I can only come to find you. Who knows that you're sick …"
He seemed incredulous, and asked slowly: "I didn't give you the key, so why are you …" "Did you come in?"
He clearly placed the key on the iron bar at the door, but he still looked at her like she was a thief. He really wouldn't forget to ridicule her at any moment, if she was more promising, he would immediately throw her suspicious man onto the ground and leave.
However, if she did that, she wouldn't be wasting so much time with him.
Bai Jinxi gritted his teeth in frustration: "You put it on the metal fence, so I'll use it to open the door."
Then he was silent, his face buried in her neck, his warm breath blowing into her skin without warning, and she was so hot that she wanted to push him away, when she heard him groan softly and start again, and listened for a long time before she heard him say: It's not a dream.
Bai Jinxi looked at him blankly. His face was still buried by her neck, his breath boiling as he stared at her body. She should have turned around and left when he doubted her, then hated him even more in her heart. It didn't matter if she misunderstood him, as long as there was a thought that supported her to fight him, she wouldn't have a shred of fantasy anymore. It was not like now, where he could hear his mumbling.
In the end, he was sent to the hospital, which was under his name. She had been there a few times and was very impressed.
When he was in the car, he was already burning so badly that he couldn't tell where he was going. The first thing he asked her when he opened his eyes was, "Where are you going?" He also knew that he was in the car, and that if she tried to kidnap him, it would be a piece of cake for her to kidnap him now.
This sort of appearance was something that was hard to see in a hundred years, but when had he ever seen Duan Ling Tian suffer from such an illness?
She sighed and said in a low voice, "What do you think? Where else can I go now that I'm so ill …"
He parted his lips, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he still didn't say anything, so he closed his eyes and lay in the car again.
She suspiciously glanced at him and naturally did not know what he was thinking. Even if she racked her brains, she would not know. She retracted her gaze and did not know how many times she had urged the driver, "Can we trouble you to drive faster …"
Jiang Lingchen did have a lot of influence, once he entered the hospital, the doctors and nurses recognized him, and everyone immediately started driving. Two main doctors and three nurses surrounded him, and once he entered the emergency room, they arranged for him to be in an advanced ward. Only then did they heave a sigh of relief and tell her, "There's a recurrence of stomach ulcers! It's still burning up to forty degrees Celsius, so why did you drag it out until now? If anything happens, tell us what to do.
She was relieved to hear that he was not getting any worse, and took one last look at the ward full of doctors and nurses.
He pursed his lips and left the hospital, preparing to call a taxi home.
When she walked out of the hospital, her hands were empty and weightless. Thinking of how she had supported him all the way, she felt like she was in a dream, and finally understood why he felt like he was dreaming. She silently smiled bitterly.
When they reached the end of the street, a black car stopped in front of her. Someone got out of the car and made an inviting gesture. "Miss Bai, my wife invited …" Bai Jinxi didn't know the person in front of her, and when the car window slowly lowered, she couldn't believe her eyes. Under such a scene, she saw Jiang Lingchen's mother.
She seemed to have come prepared. Since she knew she was here, then she should also know Jiang Lingchen was in the hospital, right? The first thing he did not do was go in and see her. Instead, he met her here. He was a bit surprised, but still politely greeted her, "Hello."
"Where's Ling Chen?" He raised his eyebrows and asked despite knowing the answer.
"He's in the hospital. The doctor said he's going to stay there for a few days."
Jiang Lingchen's mother coldly replied, "Oh really. "You're the first person to know that he's sick. It seems like you have a good relationship with him. Tell me, when did you start contacting him?"
Bai Jinxi did not want to engage in a conversation, he did not make a sound, and continued: "Get on, I have a few words to say to you."
Bai Jinxi firmly shook his head: "Auntie, you can speak of it here, I still have things to do."
"My lady has something she wants to talk to you about. Miss, please get on the carriage …"
The bodyguard standing in front of her spoke with a decisive tone. His purpose for coming here was very obvious, it was as if she would not give up until she agreed.
"I'm sorry, Auntie. If you have something to say, please say it. I really do have other things to do." Bai Jinxi shook her head, she was not willing to give in to lust, she had already wasted a lot of time just for Jiang Lingchen, the baby was still waiting for her at home to cook, she wanted to return home as fast as possible.
Jiang Lingchen's mother came out of the car, with a sharp look in her eyes, she sized her up: "Bai Jinxi, this is different from the past, I didn't expect you to become so much more, could it be that Ling Chen will be enchanted by you …"
His voice still carried that haughty tone and did not change the slightest bit.
Bai Jinxi immediately understood what she wanted to say, and interrupted her: "Aunty, if you're only talking about the matter between me and Mr. Jiang, I can tell you here, our relationship is only that of a subordinate, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do, sorry, I'll be going first …" Bai Jinxi said indifferently and picked up a taxi.
It was as if he did not believe that her attitude would be so firm, as if she was extremely weak like five years ago. Jiang Lingchen's mother panicked, and with a sinister look, she grabbed her hands: "You woman, I'll talk to you properly. You don't like it, why? Where are you going? "Do you guys continue to think of ways to tempt us, Ling Chen? Your Bai Family members are all so shameless!"
She had experienced this kind of attitude and hate speech several times in the past, but now it didn't sound as soul-stirring as before, and there was even a sense of relief to it. She smiled faintly, "Aunty, I hope you can respect me a little. Even the child's surname was Bai, she really had nothing to do with Jiang Family anymore.
I can't think of any other way. "Jiang Lingchen's mother was stunned, and at the critical moment, she couldn't think of a way, so she kneeled down in front of her," You can consider it as aunty's begging today, don't bother with us, Ling Chen, and return our son to us. He's not cold-blooded and heartless, you should know how things are these years, let him go, you let our Jiang Family go, no matter how much money you want, I'll give it to you. Jiang Lingchen's mother immediately teared up. Under the eyes of everyone, she tugged at the corner of her clothes and pleaded.
Let him go? She had never been delusional enough to expect anything from him. Five years ago, this person in front of her had also begged her to leave the divorce, allowing her pregnant child to run far away. Today, she had repeated the same old trick, but her face was filled with the word 'idiot', so why would she think that she would be at her beck and call again?
Five years ago, it was for the Jiang Family's family property, what about now? He closed his eyes and slowly opened it, speaking in a calm and casual tone that no one would have expected, "Auntie, get up, it's impossible for Jiang Lingchen and I to do this. You doing this is simply unnecessary …"
Jiang Lingchen's mother could not believe it at all, the tears on her face flowed uncontrollably as she shook her head furiously, "Unless you promise me, don't bother Ling Chen anymore, and return the peace and quiet to my family, I won't get up. I'm already dozens of years old, and I only have Ling Chen as my son.
Other than Jiang Lingchen, was there anyone else that she saw as a human? She was also a person, and she needed the warmth that other people needed. Her heart was not made of iron, so she turned her face away. Looking at the luxurious scenery of a car, her heart became more and more empty.
"Miss Bai, I know that you find it hard to believe my words, but can you please consider them from a mother's point of view?" Ling Chen is my only hope right now. If he doesn't have any more, then that kind of feeling of my hope being shattered … Can you understand? It's like we lost the whole world, life and death are worse than … "
