Chapter 27.17 (2/2)
He He look into her wallet and look for her ident.i.ty card. “I will go today. Please send me back to the airport.”
An hour later, He He is on the train bound for the Y City.
They went to the airport. The news is true. In Y City there is a blizzard so cannot guarantee whether there will be flight as usual.
Then they called the railway station and bus station. Now it is still the peak of Spring Festival, therefore tickets are hard to find. Because it is snowing in Y City, the highway is closed. And long-distance car trips had been reduced as well.
Cen s.h.i.+ took He He’s idea and went looking for a private car to send her. But failed. Finally, they managed to persuade a pa.s.senger in a crowded waiting room to sell them the train ticket triple of the original fare price.
He He had calm down by then. Cen s.h.i.+ listened to her calling her mother with a straight face while giving a very smooth lie. But her body was trembling slightly.
When the train slowly start, he saw He He sitting against the window took out the tissue and began rubbing her eyes.
Because of the bad weather, the train was delayed nearly an hour. It finally arrived at the station at 7 pm. Sure enough, when He He got off the train, the snow were falling heavily. Nearly could not see the road. The falling snow into the face is painful.
He He found a taxi and gave the hospital address. As a result, what would be a twenty minutes ride took a full forty minutes.
Zheng Xie was staying in the intensive care unit. She went through a lot of twists and turned before finding out that Zheng Xie had been discharged.
“Didn’t he just did surgery? How come he can so quickly be discharged?” He He asked in surprised.
“The patient insisted. So we had no way to force him to stay.” The doctor said.
He even refused to stay in the hospital. Is it not serious or he gave up treatment? He He had her hearts and b.u.t.terflies in her stomach.
She thanked the doctor and went to find a taxi before heading to Zheng Xie’s home.
The snow were thick on the ground. The cars on the road are slowly creeping forward. He He have been dialing Zheng Xie phone while she was sitting in the car. Over and over again. It always show that it failed to connect. Her soul slides away. Even her intended destination no longer hold any expectations.
Zheng Xie was not at home. From downstairs, the house is pitch dark. She pressed the doorbell asking someone to help her open the door. Then she saw the door of Zheng Xie’s home is stuffed with newspapers. The guard on duty reported that he helped to collect the newspaper daily and stuffed it into the newspaper box. And mentioned that Zheng Xie had not come back to live for a long time.
