Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying’s back stiffened. She clutched her handbag tightly, her fingers bulging with veins from exertion, but she dared not turn around, afraid that if she did, Leng Yixiu would tell her his cruel decision. But some things can’t be avoided no matter how hard you try to escape. It seemed like an eternity had passed when a man’s voice suddenly came from behind, "Ying’er, let’s cancel the engagement." The moment she heard the words "cancel the engagement," the string in Cheng Ying’s heart that had been tightly strung finally snapped. When she turned around, Cheng Ying’s face was already covered in tears. She wiped the tears from her face forcefully, stiffly pulled at the corners of her lips, and asked in a trembling whisper, "Xiu, you didn’t mean what you just said, did you? Is it because I did something wrong and made you unhappy, so you said that? Tell me what I did to upset you, and I will change, I will definitely change! Oh, I know, is it because you despise me for being sick?" Cheng Ying suddenly grasped Leng Yixiu’s arm tightly. "But I’ve been taking medicine all these years, and my condition has been well controlled. It won’t be long before I’m completely cured..." The man suddenly interrupted her, "Ying’er, my decision has nothing to do with your illness. None of this is your fault; it’s my own problem." "Your problem?" Tears rolled down Cheng Ying’s face. The man had already said so much, and she could no longer deceive herself. Suddenly, she gave a bitter smile. "Is it because of Lin Yixun? It’s because of Lin Yixun, isn’t it?" "It has nothing to do with her." "How can it have nothing to do with her? Xiu, you weren’t before. When you answered the phone, you didn’t brush me off, and you weren’t so inattentive when we were together. But ever since Lin Yixun appeared, everything has changed! What is it about her that you like? Is it because her figure is slimmer, or her face more to your liking? Xiu, with the advancements in cosmetic surgery nowadays, if you really like, I can become like Lin Yixun, even the scar on her face can be replicated by a plastic surgeon! By then, would you like me as much as you like her?" As Cheng Ying spoke, she smiled, but the tears kept falling. Seeing Cheng Ying getting more and more unreasonable and progressively losing control, Leng Yixiu naturally realized something was wrong with her. She couldn’t bear any more stress in her current state. "Ying’er, calm down, don’t get agitated!" "Am I agitated?" Cheng Ying’s body suddenly shook, as if struck by a heavy hammer, trembling and retreating a few steps, but she saw her frenzied reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window. In the mirror, her once delicate makeup was completely ruined. Her fair face resembled a palette, chaotic with greens, reds, and blacks. She looked like a specter dressed in luxurious clothes, truly terrifying. Cheng Ying stared in horror at her reflection in the window and suddenly screamed, "No, I don’t want to be , I don’t, I don’t want to!" She staggered back a few steps, as if remembering something, opening her handbag with trembling hands, desperately searching inside. As she searched, she muttered nervously, "Medicine, take the medicine, and everything will be fine! Yes, take the medicine!" But after searching through her bag for a long time, Cheng Ying couldn’t find her medicine box. "Where’s the medicine, where’s my medicine?" Seeing Cheng Ying’s deteriorating state, the man couldn’t help but step forward to restrain her, speaking in a deep voice, "Ying’er, should I take you to the hospital?" "Hospital?" Cheng Ying jerked her head up, like a frightened rabbit, shaking her head violently. "No, I won’t go to the hospital. I’m not sick, why go to the hospital!" Suddenly, as if she remembered something, her eyes turned venomous. "Xiu, you want to lock me up in the hospital so you can be with Lin Yixun, right?" "It’s not what you think." "Not what I think? Then why?" Cheng Ying’s voice suddenly became sharp. Seeing Cheng Ying’s worsening condition, Leng Yixiu had no choice but to pull out his phone and call the head of Shengde Hospital. With the boss personally giving the order, the head of Shengde Hospital did not dare delay for even a moment and immediately sent people over. As she saw several people in white coats approaching, Cheng Ying stepped back in terror, "No, no! I’m not sick, I’m not going to the hospital! Xiu, tell them to leave!" "Ying’er, they’re just here to help you." She didn’t want to be sent to the cold hospital again, to be treated like a lab rat. More than anything, she didn’t want anyone to know she had this illness. "Xiu, I beg you, make them go! I’ll be obedient from now on, I’ll take my medicine on time, okay?" But no matter how Cheng Ying begged, the man remained "indifferent." Seeing the doctors and nurses approaching step by step, Cheng Ying completely despaired. The moment the doctor and nurse touched her arm, she suddenly pushed them away and began to struggle desperately, "Let go of me! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!" She was so strong that the doctors and nurses couldn’t handle her at first, and in the end, they had no choice but to give her a sedative shot. Thɪs chapter is updated by novelFirｅ.net After being given the sedative, Cheng Ying finally quieted down, but her consciousness remained clear. She stared at Leng Yixiu, reaching out into the air as if trying to grasp something, only to find tragically that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t catch anything. After Cheng Ying was taken away, Leng Yixiu sat alone at the dining table for a long while. He couldn’t help but think of the past. Cheng Ying was right, their lives’ trajectories were broken the moment Lin Yixun appeared. If it weren’t for Lin Yixun, his father wouldn’t have fallen into other’s traps, Leng’s wouldn’t have plunged into a debt crisis, his father wouldn’t have committed suicide, and he wouldn’t have been forced to break up with Cheng Ying and marry Lin Yixun. If he hadn’t broken up with Cheng Ying back then, their child wouldn’t have died, and Cheng Ying wouldn’t have become what she was today. Thinking of the dead child, a wave of pain flashed in Leng Yixiu’s eyes. Although he hadn’t known of the child’s existence from birth until death, ultimately, he had failed the child and Cheng Ying. Regardless of his intentions, he bore the responsibility for Cheng Ying’s downfall. So the most pressing issue now was how to handle Cheng Ying’s situation? At that moment, Assistant Chen walked into the western restaurant from outside. "Boss, I’ve taken care of everything you asked. The doctors and nurses from Shengde Hospital selected by the dean are trustworthy and won’t leak Miss Cheng’s hospitalization. I’ve also dealt with the café staff to ensure they won’t spread rumors." "Mm, thank you." The man nodded, feeling utterly exhausted. He picked up his suit from the sofa and walked out of the restaurant.
