If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 728 - : Baby, Mama Can’t Bear to Leave You
Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Baby, Mama Can’t Bear to Leave You
“Hang in there, Cexian, the doctor will be here,” Zhou Ran patted Shen Cexian’s back, her face full of anxiety.
Xu Chaomu rarely saw such anxiety and panic on Zhou Ran’s face, yet her heart felt calm.
“Xu Chaomu, what are you still doing standing here? If this was your goal, then you’ve achieved it, get out,” Zhou Ran was truly ruthless this time.
She hadn’t quarreled with anyone for many years, and she never thought that in her lifetime she would argue with the little girl she had adopted.
“Aunt Zhou, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”
Pain washed over Xu Chaomu’s face, and despite the scorching pain, she stood in front of Zhou Ran.
...
“Aunt Zhou, I haven’t gathered evidence about you killing my mother thirteen years ago, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to see you in jail. Maybe one day, I will,” she retorted.
Zhou Ran clenched her teeth, the Xu Chaomu in front of her becoming so unfamiliar.
After a long silence, Zhou Ran coldly said, “Since you hate me so much, yet still stay with Achi, don’t you think you are quite a joke?”
Zhou Ran used Xu Chaomu’s own words against her, and this time, Xu Chaomu clenched her lips even tighter.
She had to admit, Zhou Ran was smart. No matter what she said, it was always a stab straight to her heart.
That statement felt like a needle piercing right into her heart, deeply embedded!
Blood boiled throughout her body, every part of her aching…
Xu Chaomu clenched her fists, silently watching Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian.
“Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen, the doctor has arrived!”
At that moment, several bodyguards along with some doctors and nurses arrived in the ward all at once.
Shen Cexian had already begun to vomit blood; he lost control for a moment and spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground!
The sight of the red bloodstain was shocking, spreading before Xu Chaomu’s eyes.
“Take him to the operating room!” one of the doctors said urgently.
Xu Chaomu was pushed to the side, as white figures bustled about the spacious ward.
Shen Cexian was helped up from the bed; he kept coughing and vomiting blood.
He was supported onto a gurney and quickly rushed into the operating room.

Before leaving, Zhou Ran gave Xu Chaomu a cold glare, said nothing, and followed the nurses out of the ward.
The ward suddenly became quiet, so silent that Xu Chaomu could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
It was still raining outside. The rain fell from the sky, making a crisp sound as it hit the balcony.
Xu Chaomu bowed her head and covered her cheeks, still in pain, but eventually, she became numb to it.
“Miss, please leave!” a bodyguard approached Xu Chaomu.
Xu Chaomu looked at him coldly, silent.
She walked out, leaning against the wall, her steps silent.
She walked down the corridor, feeling as if her soul had been extracted, her entire being weak and utterly devoid of the momentum she had before.
Even so, when she touched her belly, her face was tender.
“Baby, did I scare you?”
Her touch was warm, very warm.
She truly loved her baby so much…
However… at that moment, the paternity report flashed before her eyes again.
“Baby, mommy can’t bear to leave you…”
Xu Chaomu cried, she hadn’t shed tears when she was slapped, but at this time, she cried helplessly like a child.
Passersby came and went, many glancing curiously at Xu Chaomu.
Some even approached and asked if she needed any help.
Xu Chaomu didn’t speak up, remaining silent.
She moved to a corner and cried out loud like an abandoned child.
“Shen Chi… Shen Chi…”
She clutched her aching heart, calling out Shen Chi’s name over and over.
However, the response was an endless silence.
Her tears wet her hair, soaking her collar, and tear streaks covered her face.
The pain around her heart was wrenching, as if it could tear her apart, it was unbearable.
She was in C City, while he was far away in Washington.
He couldn’t hear her cries; he couldn’t hear…
Tired of standing, she supported herself on the handrail and walked towards the exit.
The rain outside hadn’t stopped, and it was pouring heavily. Raindrops fell like broken beads, pounding the ground finely.
Everywhere was gloomy, the sky as dark as night, people with colorful umbrellas hurried along the street. Streetlights had already turned on, casting light all around.
Xu Chaomu reached the outside of the hospital without an umbrella; she didn’t want to look for Wen Zhiyuan anymore.
She didn’t know where to go…
To the Shen Family’s house?
The Shen Family’s house belonged to Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran. Isn’t it a joke for her to go back there after Zhou Ran’s words? If she returned to the Shen Family’s house, wouldn’t she be slapping her own face?
To the company?
How could she face her colleagues looking like this…
She looked around aimlessly, not knowing where to go.
She didn’t dare to reach out to friends because she didn’t want to repeat what was on her mind over and over again.
She decided to go to the Waterside Pavilion…
That was the only place she could think of to go.
If one day Shen Chi didn’t want her anymore, she would truly have to leave this city forever and never come back.
In such a vast city, there was no place for her.
At times like these, she missed him particularly.
When he was around, he never allowed anyone to mistreat her. Let alone get slapped.
From a young age, this was the first time she had been hit.
Before she was ten, her mother was there, and no one dared to hit her. After the age of ten, Shen Chi was there, and no one dared to hit her either.
But today, Zhou Ran hit her and did not hold back.
Her cheek still ached faintly, with sharp, burning pains.
She took out a mirror and looked at herself. Half of her face was swollen, bright red. The left and the right sides of her cheeks were distinctly different; the imprint of a hand was still visible.
She smiled bitterly, looking at herself in the mirror.
It was somewhat disgraceful, but she had no regrets.
There were many things she wanted to say for a long time but never had the courage.
Like when she said, “Aunt Zhou, I haven’t pursued the matter of you killing my mother thirteen years ago, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to put you in jail. Perhaps one day, I might” …
Not pursuing didn’t mean she forgot. How could she forget matters of life and death…
She stood outside the corridor, watching the rain.
The rain was too heavy and didn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. She carried her bag, still wearing the clothes Wen Zhiyuan found for her, and walked through the heavy downpour.
When she reached the intersection, fortunately, a taxi happened by, and she waved her hands and hurriedly got in.
The driver stared at her for a few moments. Xu Chaomu knew she looked terrible at that moment.
She bowed her head, silently watching through the window.
The driver said nothing and drove towards the Waterside Pavilion.
All along the way, Xu Chaomu either stared outside the window or at her phone.
When she looked at her phone, she would bring up Shen Chi’s number, quietly looking at it, not saying a word.
