Chapter 1024: You lied again!
Listening to the familiar ringtone and looking at her phone… her heart was again in her mouth .

Ji Ziming had set pure instrumental music as his ringtone .
His ringtone was hard to forget because it was too special .
Therefore, even the woman recuperating in bed could not deceive herself that the man outside was not her fiancé .
The pleasant music kept ringing as the owner of the phone seemed to be hesitating if he should pick up .
At last, the person had made up his mind and picked up the call .
“Pei Ge…”
When the clear and deep voice came through, Tang Xiaoyu widened her eyes and covered her mouth in shock .
She looked outside the ward in disbelief even though she could not see the man in the corridor, from the voice alone, her best friend’s fiancé was undeniably the one outside .
“Ziming… where are you…” The woman in bed felt even weaker when she asked this .
“I…”
The man hesitated before responding softly, “I’m in the office . ”
Lies! You’re lying again! How am I supposed to believe you and to face our baby!
She pressed her palm against her stomach as her heart ached .
“Is it… You’re in the office…”

“I’ll accompany you tonight . Once today ends, everything will be done . I can be with you every day next time and won’t leave your side . ”
The man failed to detect the sorrow in her voice as he gently comforted her .
“Anyway, rest assured; I already had people deal with that post online . Don’t worry—”
She could no longer bear listening to him and honestly did not want to hear his lies so she said, “Alright . Go ahead, then . I’m tired, too . ”
“Alright . Rest well . ”
“Mhm . ”
She hung up the call and looked outside the ward .
Although, from her angle, she was unable to see outside the ward’s door, but as if capable of seeing through walls, she could somehow detect the person standing in the corridor .
“Sir, Miss Qiao’s present condition is pretty good . ”
“Mhm . ”
Listening to the receding footsteps, her face gradually turned ashen .
“Ge Ge, are you okay?”
Tang Xiaoyu was heartbroken at the sight of her looking pale, but the latter did not say anything in response and just struggled out of bed .
“What are you doing?!”

She minded not the look of fear in her best friend’s eyes, as well as the latter’s attempt to stop her, and removed the drip needle in her hand!
“What are you doing?”
As she removed the needle from the back of her hand, blood spilled .
At the sight of fresh blood trickling, Tang Xiaoyu quickly got some tissue paper from her bag and pressed it on the back of the other’s hand .
“What are you doing?!”
She tightly gripped her best friend’s hand, and after she stopped the bleeding, tears filled her eyes .
“You heard it, too . He’s lying to me…”
Seeing her gaze full of ache, Pei Ge only seemed to lose spirit even more .
“He said he’s at the office, yet he’s actually here to visit Qiao Jingyun again…”
“There should be a misunderstanding here! I saw the way he spoke to you; it’s very gentle…”
With her looking as if she had lost something important, the other was full of pity for her .
Unfortunately, she did not know how to comfort her and could only share what she saw and thought .
“Misunderstanding… How could there still be a misunderstanding in this?”
As she asked this, Pei Ge poked her and walked outside, disoriented .

“Ge Ge, Ge Ge, where are you going? You’re still very weak; stop torturing yourself! If you want to look for him, I’ll help you!”
The other easily caught up with her as she was moving so slowly and supported her weight by the shoulders .
“No, I want to see with my two eyes; I want to see whether I misunderstood him regarding that woman or not . ”
She resolutely went to the door .
Although she was pale and sickly, those black eyes of hers were filled with determination .
Seeing her like this, Tang Xiaoyu could not discourage her anymore and just decided to carefully support her along the way .
Once they left the ward, the temperature became colder .
Having gotten used to the warmth of the room, she had goosebumps from the chilly wind .
She ducked her head and was about to ask Pei Ge if she was cold when she saw the latter looking expressionless; she knew at once that the latter would not answer her .
That was because, compared to the cold that her body was feeling, her heart should be feeling colder .
She really could not understand why, when things were starting to get better, the man just had to appear here .
He even said those things .
This time around, even if the emperor were here, he could not make her change her mind, let alone help put good words for the man .
Sigh…
Pei Ge was unaware of what her best friend was thinking as all her thoughts were focused on the man and Qiao Jingyun .
She could not bear to abort the child, but she also did not want it to be born to a family without a father figure .
Although she told that woman that she would still marry him even if he did not love her, they were just words spoken in a fit of pique .
She was never the kind of woman who could still be with a man even when she knew that he was using her and had been lying to her .
Being lied to and made use of was not her idea of love .
Even more so, she would not give in just because of her love .
That was because it would make her feel cheap!
That’s why… That’s why…
She’ll …in the end… abort…
However, the thought of losing the child made her very uncomfortable .
It felt as if she were being cut by countless knives, and the pain was so intolerable that one could die from it…
