C40 Madness

Her heart suddenly stopped. Xia Jing held the phone in her hand and her face turned as white as it had ever been.

On the other side, Li Nan gave the address of the hospital and quickly hung up the phone. Before he hung up, he seemed to be discussing with Xie Yan about Shen Ruo Bai's funeral arrangements.

Xia Jing only felt that everything in front of her was pitch black, but she knew that she couldn't fall down just yet.

The staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau was urging them, but Lin Xiu was very calm at this moment. He looked at her quietly and waited for her to decide.

In the end, what waited for them was Xia Jing turning around and running out without saying a word.

He watched her leave quietly without saying a word. He just sat quietly in the wheelchair with a smile on his face. The couples around them all looked at him with sympathy. The handsome young man in white lowered his head to look at his crippled legs. Finally, he smiled and laughed until tears streamed down his face.

In the ICU, Shen Ruo Bai was already on the verge of death.

Li Nan and Xie Yan were standing in front of the bed. Seeing that she had arrived, they silently stood up and gave her the best seat.

"How could this be?"

Shen Ruo Bai was already unconscious. Her face was terrifyingly pale, and she seemed to still be wearing the same clothes as the other day, but she had lost more than half of her weight. Xia Jing looked at her and turned her head to ask Li Nan.

"He suddenly went crazy. Since a month ago, he never ate, drank, slept, and worked 24 hours a day. Xie Yan and I tried everything we could, but we couldn't stop him. We just knocked him out a few times and gave him some water. When he was dragged into the hospital, the doctor said it was already a miracle that he could last that long. However, he didn't cooperate with the treatment at all. I don't think he can survive today."

"Big brother won't let you know. Just take a last look at him and leave so that he won't come back to settle the score with me when he goes there."

Xia Jing didn't say anything the entire time. Li Nan gave Xie Yan a meaningful glance and the two of them walked out in silence.

The room suddenly became very quiet. Shen Ruo Bai was still sleeping soundly, and his breathing was weak. There was a tube stuck in his body, which should be the nutritional fluid. Xia Jing knew that Li Nan's words were a little exaggerated. It was impossible for Shen Ruo Bai not to survive today. Even if he didn't cooperate with the treatment, the doctor would still have a way to save his life.

But she couldn't figure out why he was torturing her.

More than a month ago, when she had just broken up with him.

At that time, he had let go of her so easily, and he had also said that it was very tiring to be with her. Why did he have to torture her like this afterward?

His relationship with Qiao Le Yan was unclear, and she had helped them, so what reason did he have to torture himself?

"Shen Ruo Bai, get up and explain yourself!"

"Shen Ruo Bai, you are not allowed to lie down for me, get up ..."

When Xie Yan, who was guarding the door, heard the commotion, he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat, "Tell me, did we make a mistake in finding her?"

Li Nan glanced at him sideways, "Could it be that we can only watch as big brother dies on the bed? Don't worry, she won't kill big brother."

Shen Ruo Bai was still sleeping soundly until Xia Jing said, "Shen Ruo Bai, if you don't wake up soon, I'll leave." He finally reacted and moved his finger.

"Am I really leaving?" Xia Jing stood up as if she was about to leave. She kept her eyes on his reaction.

His lips seemed to move a little. Perhaps it was because he hadn't spoken for too long, but his voice was hoarse and unpleasant to hear. "Damn it."

"You still have the strength to scold me. It seems that you won't die." Xia Jing sat back down and laughed until her eyes turned red.

Shen Ruo Bai finally opened her eyes. His eyes were even redder than hers, and they were bloodshot. "I'm already like this, yet you still want to threaten me?"

He looked at her with difficulty, and it was difficult for him to utter a single word.

He heard her voice, heard her call him, but he didn't have any strength left in his body and it was difficult for him to open his eyes. Yet this woman was still threatening him at this time.

"You don't have anything to do with me. You deserve it for tormenting yourself like this!" Xia Jing's eyes were filled with tears.

It had been a long time since Shen Ruo Bai had seen her. When she opened her eyes, she had been staring at her face, not even willing to blink.

Xia Jing also looked at him without blinking. It was as if they had never seen enough of each other.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Ruo Bai broke the silence. He had thought that he would never see her again in his life. What was the point of him living like this?

"Li Nan said that you were going to die soon, so he asked me to come and take a last look at you." After a moment of silence, Xia Jing suddenly lowered her eyes. "Originally, I registered and got married at the Civil Affairs Bureau today."

Shen Ruo Bai's fingers suddenly curled into a ball as his red eyes stared at her fiercely, and his thin lips were pursed until they were white.

After a long while, he coldly spat out four words, "Xia Jing, how dare you!" Although he still didn't have much strength, he was exceptionally domineering.

"Why not?" She glanced at him indifferently and reminded him, "We've already broken up."

Shen Ruo Bai's eyes seemed to want to eat her up. However, he didn't have any strength left in his body, so he could only glare at her. "Even if we break up, you can't marry anyone else!" He could vaguely guess who was going to register with her, but he couldn't help but regret not beating that person to death.

"There doesn't seem to be a law in the country that allows ex-boyfriends to restrict ex-girlfriends from getting married?"

Shen Ruo Bai snorted and suddenly turned her face away, not looking at her. So what if there wasn't such a rule? He was sure that this woman belonged to her. If any other man dared to touch her, he would take his life.

Xia Jing suddenly sighed. "Lin Xiu can't walk anymore."

Shen Ruo Bai's expression froze for a moment before she snorted in disdain. "So what?"

Xia Jing frowned. Seeing how weak he was, she tried her best to suppress her anger and asked as calmly as she could. "You did it, didn't you?"

"He kidnapped my wife first." After a pause, he added, "He can't beat me."

Xia Jing did not say a word for a long time. Only then did he look at her again, and his eyes flashed. He asked with a gloomy face, "You want to make it up to him?"

In fact, he did not expect that the kid would be so weak. Even though he had been injured a hundred times more heavily than him, he did not become crippled.

"I owe him too much." Xia Jing lowered her head. Even if she married him, what could she make up for? In the end, she had another person in her heart.

"What do I owe him!" It was rare for Shen Ruo Bai to curse. "Five years ago, he was the one who was willing to save you. What does it have to do with you?" He only hated the fact that he was a step slower than that person five years ago. Otherwise, he would have been the one to carry this woman out of the fire.

Xia Jing opened her mouth to say something, but Shen Ruo Bai snorted coldly and said, "It has nothing to do with you. It's me who did it. If he wants to settle the score with me, I'll be there anytime. He really is capable of bullying women."

"Alright, stop talking. Your body is still very weak. You need to rest more. I'll go and bring you some food." Xia Jing got up and was about to leave, but Shen Ruo Bai's expression suddenly changed. She pulled out the tube from her body and struggled to get off the bed. Xia Jing was shocked and held him down. "Shen Ruo Bai, what are you doing?"
