Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce

Chapter 414: Chapter 413: I’m Willing to Play Along with You (9)

Shi Che saw Mrs. Shi’s complexion change drastically, her breathing became labored, and a chill flashed in her eyes. She reached out to press the service bell, but Mrs. Shi persisted, gasping for air as she spoke, "If you don’t agree to my request, then you don’t need to care about me, your mother!"

Shi Che’s hand paused slightly, but the next second, he still pressed the service bell.

The doctor arrived quickly to give Mrs. Shi emergency treatment, but Mrs. Shi was unwilling to cooperate. Shi Che’s expression grew darker, and a trace of anger began to appear between his brows. Seeing this, Ling Yunshu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Madam, please cooperate with the doctor. Don’t wear yourself out. As for the young master..."

She glanced subconsciously at Shi Che and then continued, "I’ll have a good talk with the young master, you just rest assured."

Mrs. Shi didn’t speak, only stubbornly fixing her gaze on Shi Che. He stood there expressionless, his dark brown eyes so deep that not a sliver of light could penetrate.

Ling Yunshu, seeing no response from Shi Che, felt a surge of urgency and couldn’t help but walk to his side, deliberately lowering her voice, "Young master, just nod your head for now. With Madam’s temperament, she won’t cooperate with the doctor. You wouldn’t want anything to happen to her, right?"

Shi Che’s lips tightened further. He looked at Mrs. Shi, whose complexion was extremely pallid and pain tinged her brows, yet she stubbornly endured. His lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing, only turning to leave the hospital room directly.

Ling Yunshu watched him leave and then turned back to Mrs. Shi, speaking softly, "Madam, you saw it, didn’t you? The young master has agreed to talk to me. I will surely persuade him well, just be at ease."

After she spoke, she gave a signal to the doctor with her eyes. The doctor understood and approached again. This time, Mrs. Shi didn’t stubbornly resist and let herself be treated.

When Ling Yunshu left the hospital room, Shi Che was standing by the window in the corridor, staring at the murky sky outside. His tall and upright figure seemed somewhat frail at that moment. He stood silently, the dim yellow light of the hallway casting his long, slanted shadow, giving off a sense of loneliness.

Ling Yunshu’s heart trembled slightly with a touch of heartache, but more than that was relief.

Yes, relief, and even joy!

Earlier today, Mrs. Shi demanded that Shi Che divorce Ling Chuxia, and he was resolute, unwilling to relent. Although he hadn’t admitted that he still loved Ling Chuxia, how could she not know?

He was deeply in love with Ling Chuxia, so deeply that, even though they had reached this point, he still wasn’t willing to let go.

She had always known that Shi Che’s feelings for Ling Chuxia were the biggest obstacle to her. That’s why she was so eager to let Mrs. Shi know everything, to completely sever any possibility between them.

She really thought just now that she had no hope left, but never expected that the opportunity would come so unexpectedly.

Mrs. Shi’s illness was her best chance, and she would seize it and use it well!

Thinking about it, Ling Yunshu couldn’t help but lift the corners of her lips, her eyes brightening with a dazzling light as she looked at Shi Che’s retreating figure.

However, she quickly concealed all her emotions, assuming her usual gentle and tender demeanor, lifted her foot, and slowly walked toward Shi Che.noveldrama
