Chapter 431 - A Woman With Him
Chapter 431 – A Woman With Him
After she told him that she watched Yu Mei being assassinated without doing anything because she wanted her to die, she did notice the shift in his expression.
Maybe he was now taking some time to digest it or he was disappointed in her, she did not know what it was.
But Mia did not blame Han Jian Yu for it. Whenever she thought about that day, she felt disappointed by her own actions.
Living inside a box as a fox spirit for so long, she forgot that she was a human too. It was as if she had shed off her humanity at that moment when she watched Yu Mei dealing with all those men bare handed, and later after she was shot and pinned to the ground while those men tried to touch her inappropriately, she still continued watching the scene idly, waiting for her to die. Now that she thought back to that day, she felt like she sinned.
Looking at Jun Zixuan's retreating back, Mia walked to the chair in the hall before taking a seat. She looked at the phone in her hand which was unlocked. Her finger hovered above Han Jian Yu's contact number for a few seconds before she called him.
As the rings started, her heart raced and Mia shifted in her seat slightly. When she felt Yu Mei calling her, she never expected that the she was calling her name while sleeping.
And since she wanted to escape the tense atmosphere in the forest, she came to Yu Mei without telling Han Jian Yu about that.
Moreover, she never once thought that Yu Mei would be in any sort of danger given that she was with Jun Zixuan when she left. But her thoughts and assumptions were entirely different from the reality.
Han Jian Yu did not pick up the call the first time and Mia glanced at the phone before calling him again. Although it looked like he left for some urgent matter but he is supposed to know this.
She can only imagine what his reaction will be like if he came to know it later.
The phone rang twice before the call was connected.
''You don't feel sense of shame calling me at this hour? I am busy,'' came the casual voice of the man.
Mia was speechless. So, he thought he is talking to Jun Zixuan but then again, this was his phone. Her hazel eyes narrowed slightly when she heard him panting lightly.
Did something happen to him again? It was the first thought that crossed her mind but then, his tone sounded alright and what happened earlier was possible only because Yu Mewi was used to threaten him. Or else, it would not be easy for anyone to bring a man like Han Jian Yu down.
''No…'' a delicate feminine voice was heard in the background.
Mia who had just opened her mouth to say something, closed it.
He was with a… woman?
She leaned back on the chair and her narrowed eyes closed, her grip on the phone loosened. Now, it made sense.
Everything made sense, about why he was panting, why he was busy.
''If there is nothing, then I am hanging…''
''It's me,'' Mia interrupted him as she gripped the phone in her hand, her tone was indifferent as she spoke to him, ''I took Zixuan's phone from him to inform you about something.''
There was a pause on the other side before Han Jian Yu spoke up, ''Mia.''
''Mei is in hospital,'' Mia said without beating around the bush. It took her a few minutes to detail everything to him.
Han Jian Yu did not say anything for a long time but it was as if she could feel his terrifying aura from this side of the phone.
''I will be there,'' He hung up after he finished speaking.
Mia placed the phone on the chair next to her before she cosed her eyes again covering her eyes with the back of her hand.
In fact, it was not just Yu Mei's condition that she wanted to talk to him about, there was something else too but she believed it was not needed anymore.
There was no need for her to tell him about it.
Mia removed her hand from her eyes before she stood up from the chair.
She glanced at the ceiling and blinked a few times as tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes. She wiped them with the back of her palm.
At this time, a few nurses came and went inside Yu Mei's room.
Mia was about to follow them when she noticed Shi Luo following behind.
''What's going on?" Mia asked.
Shi Luo sighed, ''They are giving Mei some mild sedatives to keep her asleep during the procedure,'' Her eyes turned red.
''During abortion…" Mia glanced at the room in a daze as she watched Yu Mei's bed being pulled out of it.
Mia glanced at Yu Mei who had her beautiful dark eyes closed as she slept on the bed with a pale face.
''Mia, are you alright?" Shi Luo patted her shoulder and Mia snapped out of her daze as she nodded slowly, ''Come, let us go to operation theatre. Zixuan needs you.''
Not knowing about the truth, Shi Luo still believed that Mia was Jun Zixuan's and Jun Boyan's adopted sister but despite being adopted, it was obvious that Jun Zixuan cared a lot for her and vice versa. She believed he would listen to her.
Mia nodded again as she stepped back from Shi Luo, ''Yes, I will be there. I will go to the washroom before coming there.''
Shi Luo nodded before she, ''Come to the floor just below this one, we will be there,'' she said before she turned around to leave.
''Wait..''
Shi Luo paused before she turned around to look at Mia, ''Yes?"
''How much time is left before it starts?"
''In 15 minutes, the doctor is not here yet.''
Mia nodded and Shi Luo left.
She stood rooted to her spot for a few seconds before she grabbed Jun Zixuan's phone from the chair and walked towards the washroom.
