The 99th Divorce

Chapter 2128: She Was Still Alive

Her whole world spun and everything near and dear to her suddenly seemed out of reach.

Everything suddenly felt foreign as she collapsed to the ground as all her strength left her body.

–

Shen Luo’an closed the door behind him but he did not leave.

Leaning against the door, he began to feel anxious for some unknown reason.

A voice in his head vehemently told him, “She’s about to wake up.”

He had experienced that feeling before.

But had never felt it this strongly.

His heart began to thump in his chest.

His heartbeat started to beat quickly as he panicked, his guilty conscience became even stronger.

Shen Luo’an hesitated for a while before opening the door again.

As he entered, he heard the violent panting coming from the cloakroom.

His heart clenched, and he hurriedly strode over.

Shen Manting had fallen to the ground, her eyes were half-closed and she looked over at him with great difficulty.

In her eyes were various emotions.

To Shen Luo’an, every emotion present carried a weight that was deadly and devastating.

Subconsciously holding his breath, Shen Luo’an felt as if something were flying away from him.

Shen Manting gazed at him and pursed her lips together.

At the same time, a teardrop fell from the corner of her eye.

The next instant, Shen Manting crumbled to the ground lifelessly with her eyes closed.

“Manting!” Shen Luo’an felt an indescribable sense of fear, and quickly caught her in his arms.

At that moment, Shen Manting’s complexion was as pale as paper; she was leaning into him, already unconscious.

Shen Luo’an stared at her and his heart quivered.

He felt panicked and at a loss.

–

The smell of disinfectant is very unpleasant.

When Shen Manting opened her eyes, her abdomen throbbed with pain.

In a daze, she stared at the white ceiling above her head for a long time before finally looking away.

She sat up and found that her surroundings were quiet.

The lights in the hospital room weren’t turned on, and the windows were open.

The winds were strong, and they even caused the curtains to flap around violently.

At the same time, a faint scent of tobacco wafted over.

Shen Manting turned her head to the side to figure out where the smell was coming from and saw a figure standing by the window with both elbows leaning on the window rail and the glow of a cigarette flickering between his fingers.

It was him.

Shen Manting laughed silently. She raised her hand and placed it on her fifth left rib.

Right there, her heart continued to beat.

That was the feeling of being alive.

She was still alive.

Still alive…

Shen Luo’an extinguished his cigarette and turned around to look at her.

At that very moment, Shen Manting’s eyes were clear and it was evident that she now remembers all of her memories.

She looked at him calmly with a pair of indifferent eyes, the corners of her pale lips raised slightly. When she spoke, her tone sounded like one of mockery but was also reminiscent of someone meeting an old friend after a long time. “Shen Luo’an,” she said.

Shen Luo’an felt a lump in his throat, as we as an indescribable feeling of suffocation, sorrow burst from his heart and began to overtake his whole body.

With his tense body, he slowly stepped forward.

Shen Manting stared at him, feeling very calm.

She watched as Shen Luo’an made his way over with a smile directed at her.

His smile carried a gentleness that she had never seen or experienced before.

It was as if he were smiling at someone else altogether.

Or perhaps he was smiling at another Shen Manting.

“You’ve awakened?” Shen Luo’an’s voice was soft and gentle as he reached his hand out in an attempt to touch her forehead.

Shen Manting narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to smack his away.

Shen Luo’an froze for a moment before calmly retracting his hand.

The smile on his face stayed the same as he walked over to the bedside table and said, “Mom just prepared some soup. It was simmered for a long time. Finish it and you can be discharged. Our son is still waiting for his parents to return home.”

However, Shen Manting glared at him without any expression on her face.

Seeing the gentle smile on his face, she knew that he was trying to gain her favor, Shen Manting felt ridiculed in her heart.

With a cold smile, Shen Manting slowly asked, “What’s the point?”

Shen Luo’an’s loosened his grip, and the thermos flask fell to the ground with a dull thud.
