CHAPTER 761: CHAPTER 760: LET’S HAVE A CHILD (10)

Chuxia, I want your child, our child...

Such touching words, when heard by Ling Chuxia, felt like a mountain bearing down directly on her heart. It was so heavy that she didn’t know how to respond.

Shi Che was looking forward to having a child, and Mrs. Shi was, too, but what if she couldn’t give birth?

Shi Che hadn’t yet heard an answer from Ling Chuxia, so he unconsciously turned to glance at her. Ling Chuxia was sitting there in a daze, her expression blank and her eyes revealing a touch of confusion, unaware of what she was thinking.

Shi Che’s brows slightly furrowed, and in a low and gentle voice he called out, "Chuxia? Chuxia?"

Hearing Shi Che’s voice, Ling Chuxia hurriedly snapped back to reality and instinctively looked up, "What’s wrong?"

"I should be the one asking you that. What are you daydreaming about? What’s on your mind?"

Shi Che’s dark pupils looked at her calmly, as gentle as ever. Yet Ling Chuxia felt somewhat guilty and involuntarily lowered her eyes, avoiding Shi Che’s gaze as she responded with a muffled voice, "Nothing." Then, she quickly added, "I might just be a bit sleepy."

As she spoke, she even stretched her hand to rub her eyes, indicating that she was indeed tired.

Tired?

He was talking to her about such a wonderful thing, and she was actually tired? For a moment, Shi Che did not know whether to be angry or to laugh.

However, he didn’t continue the topic, simply saying, "If you’re tired, just rest against the chair and sleep for a bit. I’ll wake you when we get home."

Ling Chuxia, not wanting to continue the topic, followed his suggestion and nodded, leaning against the chair and closing her eyes.

Shi Che glanced at her and raised the car’s air conditioning. He slightly reduced the speed, driving extremely smoothly.

Although Ling Chuxia’s eyes were closed, she didn’t feel the slightest urge to sleep. Shi Che’s and Mrs. Shi’s words kept echoing in her mind, growing more and more distressing.

If she were to marry Shi Che again, they would definitely need to have a child because the Shi Family couldn’t be left without an heir. But her...

No, she shouldn’t scare herself with such random assumptions. She ought to go to the hospital first and get a thorough check-up. Perhaps the situation wasn’t as serious as she imagined.

Yes, before visiting the hospital for a check-up, she shouldn’t worry unnecessarily. Having managed to get pregnant under such difficult circumstances before, perhaps God might still favor her once more.

-

The next day.

After seeing Shi Che off, Ling Chuxia also grabbed her bag and followed him out. She hailed a taxi outside the villa and directed the driver to the hospital.

-

In these past few days, Ling Yunshu had not been discharged from the hospital because she believed Xiao Chen wouldn’t dare to refuse to help her. He might just be angry for a few days before seeking out Ling Chuxia for her. Therefore, she had to stay in the hospital, waiting for Ling Chuxia. Unexpectedly, more than a week had passed, Xiao Chen had given no sign, and her calls and messages went unanswered. It made her chest tight with anger, her rage and resentment accumulating in her body, leaving her looking extremely terrible every day.

Today, she took her phone and dialed Xiao Chen’s number once again. Yet again, it was the same cold automated message: "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable..."

Ling Yunshu’s anger surged, and she flung her phone away. The phone slammed heavily to the ground with a loud thud.

Could Xiao Chen really dare... really dare to ignore her?

Ling Yunshu’s hands clenched tightly, her teeth biting her lower lip fiercely, and she glanced out the window absentmindedly.
