Achen walked away after he finished speaking.
The men in Black all left, leaving only Gong Yi and Ye Xiaotao at the scene. Gong Yi took a step forward and said softly, “Girl, why did you say those words? Not all men can understand your words. In my opinion, he didn’t understand it.”
Perhaps in Leng Hao’s ears, she was cruel and heartless, but he couldn’t understand that was her confession.
Ye Xiaotao wiped the tears from her face. She turned around and left without saying anything.
Achen chased after Leng Hao. After turning a corner, he saw Leng Hao. Leng Hao leaned against the wall with one hand and bent down to catch his breath.
“President, what’s wrong with you?”
As soon as he said that, Leng Hao’s tall and handsome body softened and slid to the ground directly.
“President!” Achen supported him quickly. “President, which area do you feel uncomfortable in?”
Leng Hao’s lips were pale, and his forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat. He closed his eyes and said hoarsely, “My leg seems to be numb…”
Achen quickly bent down and lifted his pant. A large chunk of flesh on Leng Hao’s leg was corroded by sulfuric acid. The bones inside were very ghastly.
Achen’s expression changed drastically. He said in shock, “President, you…”
In the hospital.
Achen grabbed the doctor’s collar and asked, “Tell me, what happened to my President’s leg?”
The doctor wiped his sweat, “Don’t be agitated. The patient’s right leg and abdomen were corroded by the strong sulfuric acid directly. The surrounding flesh and blood had eroded. I took a radiograph of the patient. Unfortunately, the bone marrow tissue inside was corroded as well, and most of it had been necrotic. To avoid infection, we need to perform the operation immediately and cut off a small section of the patient’s leg and abdomen that necrosed.”
“What are you talking about?” Achen’s eyes were red. “If we cut off his legs and abdomen, how can our President walk in the future? Do you want him to become disabled?”
“Listen to me. The current medical technology is very advanced. We can cut off a small piece of necrotic tissue and suture it. Over time, new flesh and bone will grow out of the sutured area. As long as the patient has a strong will and followed by our rehabilitation treatment, It is still possible for the patient to return to normal.”
“Possible? Does that mean that you don’t have full confidence?”
“This…” the doctor was tongue-tied. “This kind of rehabilitation process is very painful. You have to endure the pain that ordinary people can’t endure. Many people would rather be disabled than suffer this kind of pain.”
“Then you want my president to suffer this kind of pain?”
“What else can we do? Will the patient choose to be disabled?” The doctor was also anxious.
“You!” Achen clenched his fists and wanted to punch the doctor.
At this moment, Leng Hao’s weak voice came from the ward. “Achen.”
Achen immediately put down his fist and entered the ward. “President, don’t listen to that quack’s nonsense. Let’s go to another hospital…”
“Don’t make things difficult for the doctor. Forget it.”
Leng Hao leaned against the headboard of the bed. His face was pale and looked like transparent paper under the sunlight.
“President,” Achen took a deep breath. He thought for a while and blurted out, “Let’s go back to Hong Kong where the medical skills there are more advanced than those in the mainland. And what are we doing here? We will be just a distraction to others!”
Achen couldn’t take it anymore. All these years, no matter where he went with the president, they were always worshipped by others. Why are they be in such an embarrassing state like now?
However, the moment he said those words, he regretted it. He was just sprinkling salt on the President’s bloody wound.
“President, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way.” Achen wished he could slap himself. His mouth was clumsy and he did not know how to speak.
Leng Hao curled the corners of his lips. “It’s okay.”
His heart had died four years ago. It was so painful that it was numb.
He looked out the window. At this moment, the afterglow of the sunset shone through the window, it was beautiful and peaceful.
“Where’s my phone?” He asked.
Achen knew what he wanted to do when he heard it. He refused to comply. “President, don’t call her anymore. She doesn’t even have you in her eyes. She wants you to disappear in front of her!”
“Shut up!” Leng Hao glanced at him, his eyes were cold and fierce. “Whatever she did to me, it’s not your turn to interrupt it!”
“President!”
“Get me my phone!”
Achen compromised for that. Who made him the boss? Achen handed the phone to him obediently.
Leng Hao lowered his eyes. His slender fingers scanned the phone a few times before he made a call.
Back at the Ye family home, Ye Xiaotao shut herself in the room. She hugged her knees and sat on the bed in a daze.
His injured index finger was bandaged by him with gauze. It was tied in a dead knot. There was no beauty in it at all. It was very ugly.
Ye Xiaotao closed her eyes and kissed the dead knot.
At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang. It was a phone call for her.
She took the phone and saw that it was from him.
She pressed the button to answer the call and said, “Hello.”
“Hello.” Leng Hao’s hoarse voice came from the other end.
“Why didn’t you say anything since you are the one calling? Are you calling to remind me of that promise? Don’t worry, since Gong Yi has been rescued by you, I will keep my promise and marry you. I won’t regret it…”
“Xiao Tao,” Leng Hao interrupted her slowly and asked, “Is there any place for me in your heart now, even if it’s just a little bit?”
Ye Xiaotao froze for a moment, then sneered, “What? You got my body now, and you want my heart again? Don’t you think you’re too greedy?”
Yes, he was greedy.
She hated him to the bone. What else did he expect?
Leng Hao smiled, his smile was lonely and desolate. “That child, my son. Believe me, I love him.”
Ye Xiaotao didn’t expect him to bring up Xiao Xiaotao. “Leng Hao, what do you want to say?”
“I want to say that I love him. He’s gone. It’s the biggest regret in my life. I’ve been trying to make up for this regret for the past four years, so I chased after you because I want you to have another child with me.”
Ye Xiaotao’s blood rushed to her brain. “What do you mean by that? You chased after me just because you wanted to make up for your regret?”
“I fell in love with Bai Lingyun for three years, and then she left. I waited for her for seven years. In fact, I didn’t love her very much, but she was my first love. If I let her go, I would have regrets. I think it’s the same for you. You suddenly barged into my life and became my wife. I don’t have much love for you. People have to marry and have children in their lives. It’s the same no matter who it is. How regretful I was when I lost the child. I want to get it back from you.”
Ye Xiaotao’s hands and feet were trembling. She opened her eyes wide and listened to every word he said. He said that he did not love her at all.
He was just putting up with her in their marriage.
The corners of her eyes were wet. She reached out and touched it. It turned out that she was crying.
Her heart was once again trampled by him four years after. She was still hurt by him.
“Leng Hao, do you know that I have never hated you like this before! I will never forgive you!” She screamed hoarsely on the phone.
