Chapter 171: Don't be afraid, I'm here
Ever since her grandfather died, she has always been home alone. Every day, as long as it gets dark, she can't help but be nervous and scared.
When she was a child, she turned on the lights in the whole house, and turned on the TV and radio. Even so, I still didn't dare to close my eyes and sleep.
Growing up, the shadow of her childhood still stays with her. Although I am not afraid of the dark and can't sleep, I still can't help but be anxious at night.
Before the prime time of the evening began, there was a lot of noise in the editing room, but the more people there were, the more insecure she became, so she wanted to flee home immediately, but her legs didn't obey and she couldn't stand up.
She suddenly realized that during the time that Owen was around, she was living every day with peace of mind, even forgetting that she had feared the night.
As soon as she thought of this, her symptoms became more and more severe, and the darkness of the night was like a great dome, enveloping her in it.
Her heart was beating faster and faster, and even breathing became difficult. She was lying on the table, her eyes closed, her hands over her ears.
There was a voice calling in the bottom of her heart, and it was so soft, so light that even she couldn't hear it clearly, "Owen, I'm so scared, where are you?"
It seemed as if a century had passed, and her arms were crushed, followed by pinprick pain, and so on for an unknown number of rounds.
"Ivy, Ivy. ”
She heard someone calling her in a trance, and opened her eyes with great difficulty, and saw Fan Jingjing looking at her with a worried expression.
"You're alright, your face is so bad. ”
"Quietly, what time is it? She rubbed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Fan Jingjing glanced at the time, "It's past eleven o'clock." Then he said, "A call came from the communication room and said that there was a handsome guy looking for you at the door of the desk. ”
Ivy's eyes lit up suddenly, and she stood up and ran towards the door.
She ran down the fourth floor in one go, through the long hallway, and across the huge courtyard. In just a few tens of meters, she used all her strength and ran out of breath.
When she came to the gate, she paused. The street lamp illuminated a long figure, but she knew at a glance that it was not him.
Chi Ming walked towards her slowly, with a solemn expression on his face.
"I'm sorry, I broke your agreement, but I didn't mean to, my manuscript was stolen. Ivy unconsciously took a step back and explained tremblingly.
"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. Chi Ming looked at her apologetically.
"I watched the news, and your vaccine was messed up by me. I don't know how to compensate you, and I can't afford it. It's me who is at fault, Wanting is innocent, can you show mercy and give me the evidence?" she pleaded in a low voice.
Chi Ming's heart was clenched, and only then did he truly realize that the so-called principles and justice he adhered to had hurt her again and again.
He put his hands on her shoulders and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I have handed over the evidence to the police, and Wei Xuejian will be brought to justice." ”
Ivy stared at him blankly, his sudden change of attitude in disbelief, "Is what you said true?"
Chi Ming nodded vigorously, his eyes flashing with sincerity.
"Wanting, what the hell is going on?" she muttered, wanting to know the truth, but her heart was filled with fear of the truth.
"She ......" Chi Ming hesitated slightly, although he couldn't bear it, he still told her everything that happened.
Ivy still had a glimmer of hope, and if she didn't find her body for a day, she couldn't be sure that she was dead. But after listening to Chi Ming's narration, his hopes were completely shattered.
She only felt a feeling of nausea, the liquid in her stomach corroded her internal organs hotly, and her mouth was as bitter as eating coptis. Half of my heart has been stripped away, and now my chest is even more empty, and I can't continue.
"What should I do? I, I hurt so much here, it hurts! Woo-" She clutched her chest and cried bitterly, her brows furrowed in pain, and her whole body convulsed.
Chi Ming couldn't suppress the emotion in his heart anymore, took her into his arms, patted her back gently, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
A waning moon hung lonely in the air, and the moon bow was facing downward, as if the night was also weeping for it.
At this moment, there was a sad soul standing in the shadows, gazing deeply at Ivy.
Owen stayed by her side and never left.
Every cry of her was like a hammer, beating him hard at the heart. He could really feel all her pain, and he wanted to rush up to hug her and say to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
His heart was struck by another heart-piercing pain, and he fell to his knees on one leg unsteadily. He still lost after all, and without the maintenance of medicine, this body could not survive even three months.
He smiled bitterly and said to her silently in his heart: I'm sorry, I can't go to the future I promised you.
A cool breeze blew through, bringing down a few leaves that had withered early.
