Chapter 1285: Matchmaking
Xia Ling sat up and wiped away her tears. “Bai Xue, what’s wrong?”
Bai Xue shook her head. The person who sealed your memories was really skillful. I forced my way in and may have injured myself, but don’t worry. I’ll just go to the hospital for some medicine.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“There’s no need...”
“Bai Xue, you got hurt because of me. I have to go with you,” Xia Ling insisted.
...
In the hospital.
Xuan Ying stood in the corridor with Sikong Heng in front of him.
Sikong Heng was the owner of an apothecary and had just returned from a meeting regarding his business. He had a gray checkered coat on, with a black vest over a custom-made white shirt underneath. His every move was elegant and professional and he looked mesmerizing.
Sikong Heng handed the report over to Xuan Ying. “Silver Mask King, I can confirm that your mother has been poisoned.”
Xuan Ying’s eyes darkened as his aura turned dangerous. “Is there an antidote?”
Sikong Heng nodded. “But I need some time.”
“How long?”
“Three days.”
“Alright. Thank you, Dr Sikong.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
At this moment, Xuan Ying suddenly recalled something. “Dr Sikong, you hypnotized Lingling... is there any chance she would suddenly regain her memories?”
Sikong Heng’s clear eyes shifted as he said, “There’s no one who would be able to unlock that dream.”
It was only then that Xuan Ying breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if Xia Ling ever regained her memories, she wouldn’t want him anymore. He wanted her to forget the him who was ugly and twisted, the him who was dark and selfish.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
At this moment a melodious voice sounded in his ear. It was Shi Xiaoxiao.
“Ying.”
Sikong Heng left with a goodbye. Xuan Ying lifted his eyes and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao. “What are you doing here?”
“Ying, your mother is my mother as well, so of course I need to come to visit her. Once mother-in-law wakes up, I’ll take care of her like she’s my own mother,” Shi Xiaoxiao said with a warm smile.
Xuan Ying’s black glassy eyes were like two whirlpools, completely devoid of warmth. But he lifted his hand to pat her shoulder. “Thank you.”
Shi Xiaoxiao quickly wrapped her arms around his slim waist. “It’s nothing much at all.”
Xia Ling’s eyes were red as well. She had struck him so hard that her palms were going numb. Without saying anything, she turned and walked away.
...
Xia Ling turned the corner and collapsed against the wall. She looked upwards and willed her tears to go back into her eyes.
He deserved that slap!
What right did he have to make the decision for her?
Since he had already decided to let her go and live a new life, why did he still insist on staying by her side?
At this moment, a set of footsteps approached her.
When Xia Ling lifted her eyes to take a look, she saw that it was Dr Sikong. Standing up quickly, she gave him a bow. “Dr Sikong, thank you so much.”
Xia Ling emphasized the ‘thank you’ and left.
Sikong Heng’s footsteps faltered and his beautiful eyes were hidden behind a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles, glimmering behind them. They were filled with intelligence and warmth but also a slight distance.
He had met countless people before, so there was no way he could mistake the tone of her voice.
Something was amiss.
Sikong Heng smiled faintly and prepared to walk away when he suddenly froze.
He seemed to have figured something out.
But he immediately dismissed the thought. No one in the current medical field could possibly undo his hypnotism and unleash the dream he had sealed.
But Xia Ling was acting strangely.
Sikong Heng turned back around and walked towards where Xia Ling had left from.
Standing on the second floor, he looked down and saw two figures in the crowd. One of them was Xia Ling and she was with another girl.
Sikong Heng looked at the figure beside her. She was in a long black coat, her raven-black hair tied in a ponytail. From the back, she looked cool and chic, just like an orchid.
The two of them quickly vanished from his sight.
At this point in time, the melodious sound of the cell phone ring tone was heard. He had an incoming phone call.
Retracting his gaze, Sikong Heng took his phone out. When he lowered his eyes, his head already started to throb.
It was his mother, Madam Sikong.
“Hello, Mom?”
“Sikong, let me tell you a piece of good news. Mom has found a perfect wife for you. I’ll fly into Country A within these two days. Wear something nice and come with me to have a meal in your future wife’s house.”
“...”
He had no words.
“It’s decided then, Sikong. Don’t you dare date around anymore. If I find out that you’re dating around, you’re no longer my son. We will be meeting them tomorrow at eight.”
