Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 865 - 864: If You Hurt Yourself (4)

Actually, Ling Chuxia didn’t know where she wanted to go either. The word "relief" floated in her mind, leaving her utterly exhausted, with a heavy mountain pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

She walked aimlessly, feeling as if her whole being was floating. When she finally stopped, she realized she had somehow reached the staircase.

One of her feet was on the step, with more than half of her foot hanging over the edge.

Her dark eyes lifted slightly, staring blankly at the spiral staircase before her, winding its way down. As she looked, the word "relief" became more and more distinct in her mind, causing her to uncontrollably think, if... if she were to tumble down these stairs...

The staircase was so long that if she fell, the child in her belly would definitely be gone.

Without the child, she would be free, and Shi Che wouldn’t be so tired anymore, right?

A seductive voice suddenly appeared by her ear, saying that all she had to do was take one step forward, and with just one wrong step, she would fall down the stairs, and the child would be gone, along with all the troubles, allowing her and Shi Che to return to a peaceful life.

Ling Chuxia was pushed by this seductive voice, her foot rising slowly, bit by bit, stretching out.

But before her foot could step out, an arm suddenly encircled her waist, and in the next second, she was lifted and spun away from the staircase, pressed against the wall by someone.

Shi Che’s dark eyes fixed firmly on her, his handsome face cast in shadows, his hands pressing on Ling Chuxia’s shoulders. Despite his restraint, the force still brought Ling Chuxia pain.

"Ling Chuxia, have you gone mad?" Perhaps out of anger, Shi Che’s breath was a bit labored, and his voice was frighteningly low.

All the changes in Ling Chuxia over this period were etched in his mind. His heart ached unbearably, worry consuming him, yet he could only hold back, believing each time he could help Ling Chuxia out of her nightmare, and this time too, he could, but never did he imagine she would... harm herself.

If he had been a step too late, would she have let herself fall down the stairs like this?

Had she lost her mind?

It seemed so, perhaps driven to madness, constantly entangled in that nightmare, how could she not be losing it?

Ling Chuxia raised her eyes, the depths of her dark eyes were only deep black, curving her lips as if to smile, yet the moment she spoke, it turned into a sob, "Shi Che, I really can’t take it anymore, I’m so tired. If I fell down these stairs, everything could end."

She thought she could be strong, she really wanted to be optimistic like Shi Che, but she just couldn’t do it. The more she wanted to forget, the clearer she remembered.

Shi Che knew that these days had been hard for Ling Chuxia, but he never thought she would start self-destructing.

He endured so much, just hoping she wouldn’t get hurt, and now she was about to hurt herself.

It seemed he couldn’t let her go on like this, gentle companionship wouldn’t pull her from the nightmare, only by being firm as before could he drag her back from it.

Even if the process would be painful for her, long-term pain was better than short-term agony.

"You want to end it, is that right?"

Shi Che suddenly spoke, his voice still deep, seemingly heavier than the night itself, nodding at Ling Chuxia, "Fine!"
