Shui Anluo was finally done with crying and the little darling was also done with crying.
Both mother and son’s tears were on the same wavelength.
When Maid Yu saw that they had stopped crying, she relaxed and went to the kitchen to make dinner or, in other words, to secretly call Chu Ningyi.
Shui Anluo sniffled as she fed the little darling. At the same time, she continued to study the documents. No matter how one looked at it, she cut a very pitiful sight.
Once the call connected, Maid Yu softly murmured, “Young Master, when are you coming back?”
Chu Ningyi was still in the hospital at this moment as French people walked in and out around him. Chu Ningyi walked out to take the call. “I might be a little delayed.”
“Oh god, Young Master, you’d better hurry back home. The Miss was just crying really badly,” Maid Yu exclaimed, her heart still aching for Shui Anluo. However, she knew the rules well enough that she did not address her as the young madam in front of Chu Ningyi.
“She was crying? Has An Jiahui caused trouble again 1 ?” Chu Ningyi replied in a deep voice before he looked at his watch.
Maid Yu’s mood was heading toward the ‘even if I rolled my eyes, you won’t be able to see it’ territory. She rolled her eyes at the phone. “The whole world knows that you had carried Miss Yuan to the hospital, Young Master.”
Maid Yu had emphasized the words ‘the whole world’ on purpose.
Chu Ningyi frowned. He then turned back to look at Yuan Jiayi in the emergency ward. “I’ll be back within the next few days.” After this stint, no one knew if Yuan Jiayi would ever be able to stand up again. If she became crippled, how could he leave now?
“Within the next few days?” Maid Yu shrieked.
“Maid Yu, what’s wrong?” Shui Anluo asked with a sniffle. As she had just been crying, her voice was a little husky at this point in time.
It has been half a month since Chu Ningyi heard Shui Anluo’s voice. He immediately felt a sour taste in his heart, a numbing agony.
“Oh, it’s nothing, nothing,” Maid Yu hurriedly replied and looked at Shui Anluo who had carried the little darling into the kitchen. She quickly hid her phone behind her back and stared awkwardly at Shui Anluo. “Do you need anything, Miss? I can get it for you.”
“No need, I’m just going to pour some water.” Shui Anluo continued to sob as she spoke. She had felt thirsty after her crying fit so she came over to get a drink of water.
Chu Ningyi listened to her hoarse voice and the hand by his side clenched. In the end, his right leg could not bear his weight and he sat down on a stool outside.
She really was a cruel little girl.
Shui Anluo walked out after pouring herself a glass of water and Maid Yu carefully took her phone out again. “Young Master, I need to make dinner for the Miss, I’ll talk to you later,” Maid Yu said before she ended the call. She carefully peered out at the person in the living room and her old eyes darted around with an evil smile. She then dug out the pictures she had just taken on her phone and sent them to Chu Ningyi.
Chu Ningyi frowned as he gently tapped his leg. Yuan Jiayi has not been discharged and Shui Anluo’s lawsuit was about to begin. Even though he had done enough preparations for Shui Anluo, he was afraid that something might happen to her.
What about Yuan Jiayi? This time, she might never be able to stand up again. As a friend, could he leave at a time like this?
Chu Ningyi was mulling it over when his phone suddenly chimed with a message notification. He unlocked the screen and the picture before his eyes hit him with an incomparable heartache.
It was Shui Anluo and she looked absolutely devastated with a small curve on her lips as if she was mocking herself. His picture was being shown on television.
Sometimes, ‘forever’ was nothing compared to the shock one sees with their own eyes.
Chu Ningyi could not describe what he was feeling but, subconsciously, he knew that he had to go home now. He needed to appear in front of Shui Anluo right now.
“Cruel woman,” Chu Ningyi spat hatefully.
