The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities

Chapter 906: 0892 Kindhearted and virtuous_3

The assistant was feeling quite stressed under the intense gaze and lowered his head, saying:

"Miss Duan got injured, so President Chi..."

Upon hearing the words "Miss Duan," Ye Zhichen’s eyes flickered slightly.

"Injured?"

The assistant quickly nodded, "Yes, she accidentally fell down the stairs. When President Chi heard, he came to the hospital to visit her out of courtesy..."

Ye Zhichen raised her head upon hearing this, looking at the assistant in front of her with a sarcastic smile.

"What an... act of courtesy..."

What courtesy? What reason?

Whose courtesy? Whose reason?

Busy?

Indeed, quite busy!

An invisible crack opened in Ye Zhichen’s heart, and even a slight breath accelerated the spread of that fissure.

After a long while, she let out a cold laugh and shifted her gaze from the assistant’s face to the pack of medicine on the ground.

She bent down again, picked up the pack of medicine, and stuffed it into the assistant’s arms, looking at him coldly and sarcastically.

"Your President Chi is really compassionate."

The assistant’s face slightly changed, "Madam..."

Ye Zhichen gave him a cold glance and walked towards the hospital entrance.

Her steps were hurried, her pace brisk, and her upright silhouette inexplicably made others feel heartache.

Su Ran also chased to the entrance before catching her wrist.

Ye Zhichen lightly tugged her lips, raising her eyes slightly, "What is it?"

Su Ran’s brow seemed to move, fixedly looking at her. Her delicate face turned slightly pale, and her lips drew a faint smile that seemed forced no matter how you looked at it.

Laughter is even more painful than tears.

Su Ran would rather see her cry before him.

But she knew that Ye Zhichen wouldn’t cry; she was never one to shed tears easily.

She had her dignity and pride, and hence never allowed herself to show weakness.

Yet, everyone has moments when they are struck down by life.

Su Ran felt an unbearable sourness in her heart, holding onto Ye Zhichen’s hand tighter and tighter.

Ye Zhichen sensed it and gently laughed, placing her other hand on Su Ran’s hand with no visible change on her face.

"I’m fine."

Su Ran still looked at her, the grip on her hand loosened slightly but did not release her.

"I haven’t eaten since morning, now lunchtime is almost over, I’m starving. Let’s find a place to eat first!"

Su Ran’s eyes flickered, and the grip on Ye Zhichen’s wrist softened again. Ye Zhichen chuckled, flipped her hand to hold Su Ran’s and led her towards the parking lot.

-

Considering Ye Zhichen’s situation and the doctor’s advice, they chose a Chinese restaurant, focusing on dishes with high nutritional value.

Once the food was served, Ye Zhichen filled her bowl with rice, then raised her eyes to look at Su Ran.

"All the dishes are here, eat up, I’m about to starve!"

She said with a smile, starting to eat first, as if nothing had happened.

Yet, there was no one who understood Ye Zhichen more than her.

She was beautiful, confident, always carefree and spirited, but somehow faltered when it came to Chi Mu!

Though she kept saying the marriage between the Ye Family and Chi Family was a mere family union, if she didn’t truly love him, how could she willingly accept this marriage?

A hidden marriage, without a ceremony, no arguments, no interference, for Chi Mu, she had already conceded so much.

Now pregnant, she was accompanied only by her friend for a prenatal check-up at the hospital.

How ruthless must Chi Mu be to ignore his wife and child so completely?

Even stabbing wounds after wounds into Zhichen.

The most fatal wounds often come from the ones dearest to the heart.

Ye Zhichen quickly finished her bowl of rice, and as she was adding a second, Su Ran grabbed her hand.

"If you don’t want to eat, don’t force yourself."

Ye Zhichen’s expression froze for a moment, then pulled out a smile.

"No, it’s just..."

"Zhichen, at least before me, don’t push yourself."

The smile that was barely pulled out fell apart, and the repressed sourness in her throat surged instantly, Ye Zhichen’s face changed slightly, quickly standing up and rushing to the washroom in the compartment, followed by the sound of retching.

Su Ran’s response was swift, quickly following her as she dashed to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Ye Zhichen was leaning over the sink, clutching her chest, retching continuously, all that she had just eaten long gone.

Su Ran silently soothed her back, her face full of worry.

After vomiting almost completely, Ye Zhichen trembled to catch some water and rinsed her mouth, hands braced against the sink, breathing gently with her head lowered.

Su Ran watched her trembling body and pale face with a heart full of ache. noveldrama

She said nothing, continuing to gently stroke her back.

A few minutes later, Ye Zhichen finally breathed deeply.

"I’m fine."

Su Ran looked at her gaunt, pale face in the mirror and didn’t say much, just supported her to return to their seats.
