Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1175: Preparing for Surgery
Ye Qi followed from a distance, but did not catch up.
Watching Wen Xiao’ai’s shaky figure, almost falling several times, Ye Qi’s heart jumped anxiously.
A half-hour journey took Wen Xiao’ai more than an hour to finally return to her palace.
Ye Qi didn’t go inside, nor did he rush to leave.
He just stood outside the hall.
As Wen Xiao’ai stepped into her chamber, she collapsed to the ground as if utterly exhausted.
She sat on the cold floor, her face pale, tears streaming down yet unable to cry.
Voices came, followed by footsteps.
"Little Princess, what’s wrong?"
Several maids hurriedly ran over, placing the things they held on the ground, then reached out to lift Wen Xiao’ai.
"Little Princess, please get up."
However, Wen Xiao’ai was like she had no bones, two maids couldn’t lift her after several tries.
Wen Xiao’ai still sat on the ground, her gaze vacant.
From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of bright red.
She stiffly turned her head to look at the items the two maids had placed on the ground.
The glaring red made her swollen eyes extremely uncomfortable, like needles pricking.
The maid quickly lifted the mahogany tray holding the bright red wedding dress and presented it to Wen Xiao’ai.
"Little Princess, it’s your wedding dress. The Clan Leader ordered us to bring it for you to try on."
Wen Xiao’ai stared blankly at the wedding dress before her, reaching out in a daze.
Just as her hand was about to touch the dress, she paused and then suddenly grabbed it like a madwoman, tearing it fiercely.
"I don’t want it, I don’t want it."
"Little Princess."
"Little Princess, what are you doing?"
"Please stop."
The maids were frightened and reached out to snatch it away.
After a few tugs, Wen Xiao’ai hurled the wedding dress onto the ground.
"Go, all of you go."
"Little Princess..."
"Leave, I don’t want to see you, boo hoo..."
Wen Xiao’ai lay on the ground, wailing loudly.
Ye Qi rushed in upon hearing the commotion. Seeing the torn wedding dress on the floor, his heart ached terribly. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Young Master Ye..."
The maids sought help from Ye Qi.
"You all can go now."
"Yes."
The maids put the wedding dress back into the mahogany tray and left after placing the items.
Ye Qi approached, crouching beside Wen Xiao’ai.
Watching Wen Xiao’ai cry hysterically, his extending hand stiffened.
He gently patted her trembling shoulders, speaking in a hoarse voice:
"...Xiao’ai."
"Go away; all of you go away."
"I don’t want to see you, boo hoo..."
Wen Xiao’ai buried her face in the ground, sobbing intensely, almost losing breath.
"..."
Ye Qi retracted his hand powerlessly, staying by her side.
"Boo hoo..."
Wen Xiao’ai’s heart-rending cries made Ye Qi want to leave, yet he dared not leave her alone.
He appeared calm, but inside he was in turmoil.
As Wen Xiao’ai cried, her sobbing suddenly ceased, her body slackened, and she fell to one side.
Ye Qi was startled.
"Xiao’ai."
He hurriedly turned her over and lifted her, only to find Wen Xiao’ai had passed out...
Human Realm—
Second People’s Hospital
"Mu Han, it’s half an hour until the surgery preparation, get ready."
"..."
The drunkard’s ears buzzed, barely hearing what the nurse said.
He numbly stared at the entrance, clutching his phone, hollow eyes tormented by pain.
