This was the time of the day when the sun set and hid its glaring rays just as it became a hue of red and orange.
Today, the sunset was exceptionally warm and breathtaking.
Basking in it, Pei Ge felt freezing as coldness seeped in her eyes.
Gradually, her eyes became filled with disbelief.
This was because of the two people not far away…
Her fiancé, whom she was just on the phone, said that he was settling matters at the office.
How could this be… How could it have become like this…
She stared at the pair of man walking together in disbelief and confusion.
Right now, she was dying to rush over to the two and ask her fiancé what he was doing here.
Why isn’t he at the office but with a woman in this hospital?!
However, the reality was that, when she saw the two coming closer, she subconsciously hid behind a big tree.
Hiding herself behind the big tree, she dared not move.
Her eyes did not even blink as she stared fixedly at the tree in front of her without emotion.
“Ziming, go back; I’m fine here alone.”
In the sunset, Qiao Jingyun’s gentle and loving voice was transmitted clearly into her ears.
Without the need to look, she could imagine the bliss on the woman’s face.
That was because the blissful smile had also appeared on her face before.
“…I’d better stay here.”
The two were silent for a brief moment before the man gave this reply to Pei Ge’s surprise.
His words made her feel colder as well.
“You really don’t have to do that. Rest assured; I can handle it myself. You don’t have to think too much, the child will forgive you.”
The child… will forgive you.
Her face turned ashen instantly.
Right now, she felt that she was in hell.
That pittance of hope and wish were totally shattered.
She only knew that Pei Shishi’s words were all true and the latter was not lying to her.
Everything is true…
Immersed in the endless amount of hurt and hopelessness, she did not even realize that, when the pair left, she collapsed powerlessly on the grass.
Her ears and eyes could no longer hear or see anything.
Her mind was filled with just the two’s conversation.
Although they only said a few lines, those few lines banished her to hell without the possibility of rising back up.
Slowly, the sunset disappeared in the horizon and was replaced by pitch-black darkness.
The warm weather had also become chilly.
She did not notice the change in her surroundings, though, as she sat there dazedly, and this went on until…
“This lady here… This lady here…”
A light was shone on her face.
The bright glow of the flashlight caused her to recover from her stupor.
Seeing her black the light with her hand, the security guard heaved a sigh of relief and shone the flashlight elsewhere.
Who knew how… frightening it was when he saw a woman sitting here and not moving during his patrol?
That was right! It was frightening!
Seeing the woman sitting there without moving, he thought that it was a corpse!
“This lady here, are you all right?”
The security guard looked worriedly at her. Other than the fact that her expression looked bad, she still appeared healthy.
However, thinking that she might have fainted as she sat there in a prone position, he thought that something might not be fine with her…
“Miss, although it’s already late, we have doctors on shift here; why don’t you go inside to pay one a visit?”
“It’s all right. I just visited my friend and was feeling tired so I sat here for a while.” She curled up her lips and said this softly to the security guard.
Her reply only made the security guard’s mouth twitch speechlessly.
This was way too preposterous! It was obvious a lie…
“Thank you for your good intentions, but I think I will leave now.”
As she thanked the security guard, she stood up and left the hospital.
Leaving the private hospital, she looked at the dark-blue sky that did not have any stars and her mood became even more despondent.
All of a sudden, she did not know where she should be.
Her fiancé’s, Qiao Jingyun’s, and even her cousin’s words were like a tape playing in her mind.
Furthermore, this tape was stuck playing the same words.
As much as she wanted to ignore those words, she could not do so completely.
Right now, she was only hoping that she had never come here and truly wished that she did not know the incident involving her fiancé and that woman so that she could continue leading a blissful life.
Although they might all be false, she was willing to live under such a blissful illusion.
Nevertheless, reality had always been cruel and she had still learned about the truth in the end…
“Why, Ziming? If the person you like isn’t me, why did you marry me?”
After walking alone for a long time, she squatted by the roadside and hid her head between her arms.
There was only her on that street and the scene was heartbreaking.
After squatting for God knew how long, her phone rang, and she came back to herself.
Looking at the caller ID displayed, she did not wish to answer the call.
Only after the call was missed did she realize the number of calls that had gone unanswered this whole afternoon.
Among them, most were from Ji Ziming.
She stared dazedly at the man’s caller ID. It was something that she had never changed, and little did she know then that he had become her ‘annoying fellow’…
The man called again, most probably because she did not answer his call.
After seeing that he had called her for the umpteenth time, she decided to pick it up this time around…
