Chapter 2 Blood Drawing
After going upstairs exhausted, Shen Zhichu took out the key, turned it half a circle to the left, and the back door opened. His confused mind instantly woke up after sensing the different atmosphere in the room.
I listened through the door and heard the sound of a phone call coming from inside.
Li Jingshen is back.
Should she tell him that she has stomach cancer? Will he care about himself after she tells him?
Shen Zhichu asked herself repeatedly, and while she was still thinking, the door had been pushed open, and then she saw Li Jingshen coming towards her and looking at her with a sullen face.
"Where have you been fooling around? Look carefully at how many times I called you!"
If going to the hospital for a blood test and a gastroscopy is called fooling around, then it is indeed fooling around. After all, she is now on the verge of death.
As he thought about it, his eyes felt sore again. Li Jingshen did not notice that Shen Zhichu's eyes were already red, but just kept blaming her with his eyes for not answering his call.
Shen Zhichu took out his phone from his bag, shook the black screen, and said, "It's out of battery."
She had two mobile phones in total, one for work and the other for waiting for Li Jingshen's contact. Her stomach had been tormented these past two days and she forgot to charge it for a while, which resulted in her not receiving his call on the way back.
"What's the urgent matter?" Li Jingshen was so anxious that he called her many times. There was no need to think about who it was for.
Just as she finished her thought, Li Jingshen grabbed her hand and pulled her out, "Mingyue is injured and has lost too much blood. Come with me to the hospital."
Sure enough, his nervousness was all because of Xia Mingyue.
My heart is completely filled with bitterness.
Xia Mingyue suffers from severe coagulation disorder and has a rare blood type, and the only one who can match her blood type is Shen Zhichu.
Shen Zhichu was soaked from head to toe by the rain, her long seaweed-like hair stuck to her back, her lips were lotus-green, and her hands were as cold as ice. Li Jingshen didn't notice any of this. The hospital where Xia Mingyue was staying was nearby, only a ten-minute walk away. However, Li Jingshen was anxious and pulled Shen Zhichu and forcibly threw her into the back seat of the car.
Li Jingshen, who was driving, stared at the front and glanced at the rearview mirror inadvertently. When he saw Shen Zhichu's pale and bloodless face.
He couldn't help but frown: "Why is your face as white as a ghost?"
...I just discovered it.
Chen Zhichu raised the corners of her lips in sarcasm, as if a piece of coptis was stuck in her throat. She opened the car window and looked at the rain outside which was getting heavier and heavier. Her body was frozen into a ball, and the breath she exhaled turned into a ball of icy mist. Her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Li Jingshen glanced at her coldly. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he felt annoyed for no reason.
He felt that something was wrong with Shen Zhichu today.
But after thinking about it, he thought, what does what happened to Shen Zhichu have to do with him? What he should pay most attention to now is Xia Mingyue's health. With this thought, he lightly stepped on the accelerator with his right foot and the car sped up.
When they arrived at the hospital, Li Jingshen grabbed Shen Zhichu's hand and dragged him out of the car. Before Shen Zhichu could even stand firmly on his feet, Li Jingshen pulled him and made him stagger and follow him in a panic.
Li Jingshen took Shen Zhichu directly into the blood collection room, and said to a nurse with cold eyes: "Draw her blood, no need to check, hurry up."
A bitter taste appeared on the corner of Shen Zhichu's mouth. Li Jingshen trusted his blood more than she herself. He even found it troublesome to check. Wasn't he afraid that the cancer cells in her body would enter Xia Mingyue's body?
Shen Zhichu struggled for a while and said, “Depth of Field, I’m not feeling well. Can I not…”
Li Jingshen's eyes half-closed, emitting a dangerous glint. He leaned forward and clamped Shen Zhichu's chin with one hand, saying coldly, "What qualifications do you have to say no? We signed the contract four years ago. It's clearly written in black and white. Shen Zhichu, please fulfill your responsibilities well."
Yes... It was a contract signed four years ago. When Xia Mingyue lost too much blood, she donated blood for free. It was clearly written in the contract.
This was the deal she signed. Even if Shen Zhichu was about to die, she had to donate blood for Xia Mingyue.
This is what she owes Li Jingshen.
That year, Xia Mingyue was in a car accident in City A. Because she was not sent to the hospital in time, she lost too much blood from the wound and urgently needed Rh-negative blood.
After learning that Xia Mingyue was in trouble, Li Jingshen anxiously asked her for help.
Shen Zhichu then proposed a trade: "You become my man, we get married, and I will save Xia Mingyue."
She still remembered the astonishment in Li Jingshen's eyes at that time, and the disgust for her that slowly rose from the bottom of his eyes.
From that moment on, Shen Zhichu knew that the two of them could no longer coexist peacefully.
She took advantage of Li Jingshen's misfortune when he was in the most difficult time and needed her the most, forcing him to submit.
Li Jingshen was born into the prominent Li family. He was born superior and had the corresponding capital for his bad temper. He enjoyed the best of everything and everyone around him looked up to him. People who had never heard a harsh word before were forced and threatened for the first time.
Shen Zhichu knew that what Li Jingshen hated most was being forced to do something he didn't want to do, so when she saw Li Jingshen sign the "indenture" without hesitation, she knew she had lost.
Seeing that he could do this for Xia Mingyue, her heart ached. But later she comforted herself by saying that love grows over time after marriage, and it is possible that Li Jingshen will treat her as well as he treats Xia Mingyue in the future.
Unfortunately, God has its own way and retribution comes with time. Shen Zhichu never expected that his retribution would come so quickly.
You got a terminal illness by accident, you deserve it!
Watching the needle sink into the skin and the crimson blood plasma slowly drawn out, Shen Zhichu's face turned even paler in pain. It was so painful, even more so than during a gastroscopy.
The nurse drawing the blood had never seen such a thin and frail woman. She stared at the white wrist and asked in a low voice, "Can you still hold on?"
Shen Zhichu shook his head dizzily and said in a hoarse voice: "Go ahead, I'm fine."
The nurse took 60 samples in total and then did not dare to continue. The woman's hands were too cold and no longer at a normal body temperature.
The last words Shen Zhichu heard before he fell into a coma were from Li Jingshen, who asked the nurse, "Is it enough? If not, you can continue pumping."
How did Li Jingshen become so cruel over the years?
