Chapter 635 - Escape (1/2)
She placed her hand on the keyboard, and after much hesitation, she still typed it out. Actually, she thought that even if she said it, nothing would go wrong. Anyway, they were just strangers who happened to meet coincidentally.
Summer's Not Over, ”There's someone who got addicted to drugs at home. He's kicking it currently.”
A Sunny Day will Come, ”Drug addiction? How did he get it?”
Summer's Not Over, ”It wasn't his idea. Something happened. The drugs were specially made so it's not easy to kick in. Now, he had just fallen asleep.”
A Sunny Day will Come, ”Could you say who it is?”
”Who is it?” Xia Ruoxin's fingers paused for a while before she slowly typed out two words.
”A friend.”
Summer's Not Over,” Thank you for your understanding.”
A Sunny Day will Come, ”It's nothing. If you have any trouble, you can always tell me.”
Xia Ruoxin laughed. She had not laughed in a long time; it was as if a gust of wind blew over and had dissipated the mist in front of her for a while. Actually, that sentence was enough. She really did not have anything else she could bother other people with.
After turning the computer off, she walked to the front of Gao Yi's room, opened the door, and walked in. Then, she took out a mattress from the cupboard and lay it on the floor. Recently, this was how she had been looking after him. As long as he made a slight move, she would wake up immediately.
Wei Lan was old, and she did not dare let her overly tire herself. Lately, their health and mental state had been affected enough. They really could not afford to have someone else fall sick.
Once she lay down and the moment her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep. She was tired to the point she could not even think of anything.
At the other end of the world, Chu Lui whipped out his phone and gave Du Jingtang a call.
”Du Jingtang, help me book a ticket to England. I want to go there immediately. Help me look after the company matters first.”
”Oh…” Du Jingtang did not have much reaction. ”Then, when are you coming back?”
”I don't know.” Chu Lui threw that sentence as he immediately picked up his suit and walked towards the door.
The slow Du Jingtang then began reacting.
He was panicking in an instant.
”Don't know, don't know. You don't know? Are you just going to throw the whole company at me?”
No matter how much he had to complain, Chu Lui still sat on the plane that same day and left the country. Meanwhile, all the work he left undone or done halfway was thrown at Du Jingtang; and Du Jingtang started his life as a slave; he scolded as he worked his butt off.
…
Pa! Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes in shock, sat up straight immediately, and looked towards the bed.
”I'm okay. I just woke up to use the washroom.” Gao Yi pulled open his blanket and came down to squat by her side, seeing the obvious eye bags below her eyes.
”Rest for a while, I'll be back real soon.”
He helped Xia Ruoxin put her blanket, and there was really a moment that he felt like dying.
His situation was worse than he thought. He was really scared that even if he did not die, he would torment the two important women by his side until they died.
He splashed water on his face from time to time and stared at the fruit knife at the side. He walked over and took the knife in a scoop. This was the knife Xia Ruoxin usually used to cut apples: it was very sharp.
