Chapter 1457 - I Only Want You (1/2)

Tang Yucheng would be filled with worry whenever Mu Wansheng headed out to buy some food.

He would also be thrilled and elated to see her coming back in one piece.

It had begun snowing outside. Thus, he repeatedly reminded Mu Wansheng to be careful while she was out to buy food.

Mu Wansheng told him not to worry and assured him that she would be back soon.

She held onto Snowman’s leash and left the ward without the navigation device.

After reconnoitering around the hospital for two days, she knew exactly where to find a jewelry store.

She did not have to rely on the navigation device and only needed Snowman’s guidance.

Upon arriving at the store, she removed the necklace on her neck and handed it to the lady at the counter. “I’d like to pawn this necklace. May I know how much I can receive?”

“I’ll have to check with the store manager. Please give me a moment, Miss.”

“Alright.”

She stood still and waited.

A while later, the store assistant returned and said, “Miss, our store manager would like to verify if you’re really blind. Can he?”

“Sure, but I suffered burns on my face and the scars are grotesque.”

“It’s alright.”

Mu Wansheng proceeded to allow the store manager to take a look at her face. Upon hearing the shrieks of terror from the store manager and assistant, Mu Wansheng frantically covered her face and said in apology, “I’m so sorry to have frightened you guys.”

“It’s… it’s alright,” the store assistant said, still unable to recover from the shock.

After adjusting her apparel, Mu Wansheng asked, “This necklace was bought at a high price and I’ve only worn it for a few months. How much can it be sold for?”

“No matter how much the original price is, it’s still considered a secondhand good. There’ll definitely be a huge depreciation in value. We’re willing to offer you 30 thousand dollars.”

“Regardless of how great the depreciation may be, it should at least retain half of its value. I’m willing to sell it to you for 45 thousand dollars. Take it or leave it,” she said assertively.

“Um… let us consider it for a while.”

“Alright.” She waited patiently for their answer.

At last, the store manager conceded and bought it from her for 45 thousand dollars.

She was paid in cash.

Mu Wansheng stowed the cash away into her bag before leaving.

She felt much more relieved and walked back to the hospital with Snowman.

She no longer had to worry about money and the potential expenses for her child.

On the way back, she bought some takeout and brought it back to the hospital.

She was walking at an exceptionally slow pace, and so was Snowman, who tried to match her pace.

Nonetheless, a child who was running about bumped into her.

Mu Wansheng’s mind went blank the moment she fell to the ground. Fear filled her, and she did not know what the consequences would be. She pressed one hand against the ground and gripped tightly onto Snowman’s leash with the other. Given her current size, she had become much clumsier and, therefore, it was harder for her to get up on her feet.

At this very moment, a pair of arms helped her up. Panting heavily, Mu Wansheng said, “Thank you.”

The person who helped her up was none other than Fan Shixin. He let go of her, placed the food container back into her hand, and said, “Don’t mention it. Be careful.”

Mu Wansheng stood rooted to the ground, at a complete loss for words.

Noticing that she was not speaking, Fan Shixin asked, “Are you alright?”
