Actually, he didn’t need to do this, she didn’t care anymore.

Shen Chi saw that she ignored him and was somewhat caught between laughter and tears.

“Behave,” he said as he touched her cheek and tucked her in properly before tiptoeing out of the ward.

As soon as he left, Xu Chaomu opened her eyes and reached out to hug the doll beside the pillow.

There were still a few drops of blood on the little dress of the doll. She hugged it, cracking a smile that revealed her pearly white teeth.

“It’s a good thing I still have you with me,” murmured Xu Chaomu, hugging the doll.

Of course, the doll couldn’t speak, and Xu Chaomu busied herself by combing its hair.

“Am I really silly… If I’m not silly, why does everyone like to deceive me…” Xu Chaomu said as she touched the doll’s head, her gaze vacant.

“How about I take you away with me? As long as you’re with me, I won’t be afraid.”

“I can’t bear to leave you alone at the Shen Family; they will bully you, throw you into the trash can.”

“I don’t want to face him anymore. All his kindness toward me is just to atone, and I don’t need it. You saw too, that to him, Miss Bai is the most important, the one he loves the most. He traded her life with such a precious contract.”

“I don’t blame him, I know he’s in a difficult position. Him choosing Miss Bai, I think it’s right. After all, Miss Bai is his wife, and she’s carrying his child in her womb. My life isn’t worth that much.”

“Actually, after that gunshot, I really thought I wouldn’t survive. Ah, had I not survived, I would’ve been free from all worries.”

“Doll, I’m taking you away with me, if you don’t speak, it means you agree.”

Of course, the doll wouldn’t talk, so Xu Chaomu just giggled foolishly.

“Then we’ll leave at night and never come back, never ever again. But following me, you’re going to suffer hardships.”

Xu Chaomu talked to herself for a while, but soon her back began to ache.

Sweat beaded down her forehead as she bit her teeth and held the doll tight without letting go.

After a long time, the pain in her back subsided, and she struggled to sit up.

There were medications on the table; she quickly packed them up and threw them into a carry bag.

It was just past four in the afternoon. She looked around, and everywhere on the walls and outside the window were characters she didn’t recognize.

Blinking her bewildered big eyes, she wondered, what country was this?

But Xu Chaomu knew that as long as she was not in C City, he wouldn’t be able to find her.

Shen Chi might have the power to cover the sky with one hand, but he was not yet powerful enough to cover the earth.

Just as she was rummaging for some daily necessities, suddenly, the doorknob was turned.

“Why are you out of bed? What are you looking for? I’ll help you.” The person who came was Wen Zhiyuan.

Xu Chaomu blinked, finding the doctor in the white coat quite a sight for sore eyes.

These days, hospitals really are upscale, with all doctors looking so handsome.

“Hm? Why aren’t you talking?” Wen Zhiyuan frowned.

“Nothing, just hungry, are you going to help me buy something?”

“I’m not a nanny,” Wen Zhiyuan said with an exasperated shrug, teasing her.

“Then why are you asking, go stay wherever it’s cool,” Xu Chaomu pouted dissatisfiedly.

“Quite a temper there. Do you have this much attitude with Shen Chi too?” Wen Zhiyuan said.

Wen Zhiyuan couldn’t quite believe it because he knew that Shen Chi also had a quick temper. If two stubborn people were together, wouldn’t they turn heaven upside down?

“Mind your own business,” Xu Chaomu snapped back irritably.

She continued to climb back into bed, turning her back to Wen Zhiyuan and pretending to sleep.

Wen Zhiyuan thought he was being nosy as well, so he just shook his head and went ahead to prepare her medicine.

In less than ten minutes, Wen Zhiyuan left.

That day, no matter who visited, Xu Chaomu just pretended to sleep. Shen Chi came several times, waking her up each time to take her medicine.

After taking her medicine, she continued to “sleep.”

By evening, Shen Chi came again to feed her.

“Mumu, get up, it’s time to eat, don’t starve yourself.” Shen Chi sat by the bed, in his hand the stir-fried sausage claypot rice she loved to eat.

“You can leave the food here, I can eat by myself.”

“No, I’ll feed you; your wounds haven’t healed yet.”

“I have hands and feet, I don’t need you to feed me. Aren’t you annoying?” Xu Chaomu’s attitude was not very good.

Shen Chi was taken aback, filled with helplessness, he silently put down the cutlery, “Fine… then eat by yourself, eat more.”

“Leave! If I don’t call you, don’t come back in! I get annoyed just looking at you,” Xu Chaomu said in an unfriendly tone.

Shen Chi stood up, wanting to say more, but Xu Chaomu had already closed her eyes.

He could only helplessly shake his head and tiptoe out of the ward.

Before leaving, he gave her one last look, but all she gave him was a cold back.

His body stiffened; without saying anything more, he closed the door softly and turned the lock gently.

When he left, he never would have thought that this would be the last time he and Xu Chaomu would see each other, and after this last glance, she would leave without a word for a whole five years.

The night was serene, infused with the scent of summer.

In the evening breeze, the fragrance of flowers was delightful, wafting over in waves, refreshing the spirit. In the grass, summer insects hid and sang, their melodies beautiful.

After leaving the ward, Shen Chi went to the rest area to work on papers like he usually did. He sat there working on documents and would sleep when he felt tired.

The next morning, he would go to take care of Xu Chaomu.

It was as if it was a very natural habit.

However, he never considered that Xu Chaomu might disappear!

Like always, he pushed open the door to Xu Chaomu’s ward and called out “Mumu.”

There was no response; the bedding was disheveled on the bed.

“Get up, it’s time for breakfast, if you don’t eat, you won’t have the strength to argue with me,” Shen Chi walked in, his voice low and powerful.

He thought Xu Chaomu was hiding under the covers, ready to lift them off.

Suddenly, he came to a halt, his pupils constricting sharply!

The bedding was spread out messily on the bed, but inside, there was no one at all!

“Xu Chaomu!” he called out in a panic.

His face turned pale in an instant, blood rushing through his body, and he almost instinctively bolted out!

“Xu Chaomu! Where have you run off to?!”

He felt a chill throughout his body; even his hands were trembling.

The bed was already cold; where could she have gone so early?! It only meant one thing; she had left long ago.

“Xu Chaomu!” he called hoarsely a few times.

Nurses rushed out and shouted “Quiet!” in English.

It was still morning, many patients were resting, so doctors quickly came out to stop Shen Chi.

“Sir, please be quiet; this is the ward area; no shouting is allowed.”

“Where is she? I’m asking you, where’s the patient from this ward?!” Shen Chi yelled, his eyes red, fists clenched tight.

A few nurses looked at each other, clearly unaware.

“I’m bloody asking you all! Where did the patient from this ward go?” Shen Chi roared angrily, grabbing the doctor’s shoulder as if he wished to dig his fingers into his bones!
