Chapter 549: People can do anything when they are dying

After three weeks of silence, all sorts of notification sounds pop up when I go online, the most common of which are text messages and phone calls.

Shen Zhichu's heartbeat slowed down and her eyelashes trembled. She tried to muster up the courage to open the text message. After hesitating for a long time, she put down the phone, looked at the cloudy sky outside, and let out a long breath.

After a while, she calmed down and opened the text message.

There were more than 500 text messages, some long and some short, some from the company and some from her mother Bai Wanwan. The most text messages, and the one that ranked first, was from Bai Qiujing. He asked her where she was every day.

My throat was choked and trembling, and even my breathing became unclear.

Tens of thousands of words, all of them are about missing her. Bai Qiujing is waiting for her to come back. He did not sign the divorce agreement. He has been waiting for her to come back.

Bai Qiujing, who had always been in good health, was admitted to the hospital due to acute gastroenteritis. He ignored the doctor's advice and insisted on being discharged from the hospital to look for her, and even vomited blood.

Shen Zhichu covered her mouth and burst into tears halfway through reading. Her eyes were moist and red, her chest was extremely stuffy, and her heart felt like it was being hung by a stone and falling down.

Shen Zhichu held her phone tightly. During the ten days since she left Bai Qiujing, she had remained calm and restrained her emotions. But now, after seeing Bai Qiujing sick, she could no longer bear the pain in her heart, and she put the phone against her chest and cried.

Chengdu, Quanshui Bay.

Bai Qiujing was locked in the bedroom, his limbs chained to the bed, and an IV tube connected to his arm.

He kept struggling on the bed, his upper body was rubbed red, and his feet were aching as he struggled, trying to prop himself up, but each time he was brought back to the bed by the restraints.

The consequence of his hard struggle was that he was injected with a sedative. He had no strength left and could only stare with his hollow eyes and tears falling.

"Mom, let me out, I want to find her..." He choked with sobs, and as he spoke, his already red eyes became even redder, filled with creepy red bloodshot.

"You can't even take care of your own body, how can you go to find her? What's the point of finding her? She came here voluntarily, and the only way to come back is to wait for her to come back voluntarily." Bai's mother looked at him with heartache.

"Qiu Jing, listen to your mother. The first thing you need to do now is to keep yourself healthy. Believe me, Zhichu will come back safely. Li Jingshen will not hurt her..."

"Believe?" Bai Qiujing roared, "Why should I believe Li Jingshen?"

Bai Qiujing, who was roaring angrily the moment before, spoke in a gentle tone the next second, which seemed to overflow from the corner of his mouth.

"Mom, I have to go find her. She's so afraid of the cold, what if she gets cold outside? What if she gets bullied by Li Jingshen? Who will protect her? She's so afraid of Li Jingshen, how can she survive? She's so afraid of suffering, what if her tears get into her mouth and no one wipes them away or gives her candy?"

"We were already married, and all that was missing was the wedding. Why did she leave?"

"Mom, I want to find her. Please."

This was the first time Bai Qiujing asked for help. He was stretched on the bed and injected with a sedative. His limbs were weak and he couldn't even speak clearly.

Seeing him like this, Bai's mother turned her head away and wiped the tears from her face.

No matter how much she said, Bai Qiujing didn't believe her, or rather, he didn't believe that Li Jingshen would really send Shen Zhichu back.

"How are you going to find her in this state? How many times have you fainted? How many times have you vomited blood? How many times have the doctors advised you against it? Don't you know that your condition is so serious that it could be life-threatening. Do you really want to die?"

"Without her, I would be living a life worse than death."

To Bai Qiujing, Chen Zhichu is like a glass of wine, once drunk he sinks into it. There are thousands of sufferings in this world, but love is the most difficult.

The four words "life is worse than death" were uttered by Bai's mother. The scene was devastated and she could hardly breathe. She looked at Bai Qiujing, opened her mouth, but could not utter a word.

"Zhichu left for your safety and for the Bai family. Do you believe your mother? Our family will not abandon her. Even if you don't go out to look for her, I will always look for her. As long as you take good care of yourself in the next few days, I will let you go to find her on the 24th, and you will definitely see her."

There are still ten days until December 24th. Ten days may seem short, but to Bai Qiujing it feels like a year.

…….

From the text message, Shen Zhichu learned that Bai Qiujing was in the hospital, and also learned that Bai's enterprise was back on track, the stock price was rising, and everything was moving in the right direction.

During the days that Shen Zhichu was with Li Jingshen, she had thoughts of killing him, but every time she took out a knife, she put it back.

She once stabbed Li Jingshen in the palm of his hand and pierced his neck with a steel needle for infusion. She hated him so much that she was not afraid of taking out a knife.

But she also knew that Li Jingshen was sick and dying, and that if she killed him, it would be exactly what he wanted.

He only has a short time, and if she kills him for the sake of momentary pleasure, she will have to pay for it with ten or eight years, which is not worth it.

Shen Zhichu had cancer before. When he knew someone was dying and was filled with hatred and wanted to take revenge, he would really do anything.
