My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 576 He Saved Your Life Twice (10)

Dong Xin Yan returned to the apartment, collapsing onto the sofa. Her small home was still as cozy and comfortable as ever, with all the arrangements and decorations thought up by her and Cheng Ziyang together.

During this period, too many things had happened one after another. Even though she had decided to part ways with Cheng Ziyang, she hadn’t yet had time to properly pack up his things, leaving his shadow everywhere in this apartment.

She had moved here after graduating from university, nearly over two years ago now. Over two years of memories filled the entire small space.

Everywhere she looked, she saw traces of him.

When they moved in and arranged the place, when his personal belongings appeared here one by one, she never imagined that one day they would part ways.

Yet feelings are ultimately beyond control, and her emotional balance shifted; she fell for the initial heartbeat she once had.

Originally, in the world of emotions, there is no right or wrong. Perhaps she was selfish, but she was true to her feelings and had done nothing wrong. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Only, she never imagined that this relationship would bring such immense harm to an innocent person.

Why... wasn’t she the one hit by the car?

She truly wished that she were the one now lying in the hospital, unable to walk, rather than having Ziyang suffer because of her. From the very beginning and till the end, he was the innocent one who deeply loved her.

Heaven shouldn’t hurt the innocent like this.

Dong Xin Yan blinked, tears unknowingly filling her eyes again. She rested the back of her hand on her forehead, closing her eyes, tears slowly seeping from the corners, slipping down.

The sky gradually turned dark.

Gu Ningyi’s tall figure leaned against the car, hands in pockets, lifting his eyes slightly to gaze at the floor of the apartment where Dong Xin Yan was. It was still dark, with no light at all.

Gu Ningyi lowered his dark eyes, his handsome face clouded and unreadable.

Suddenly, the phone rang. He slowly fished it out of his pocket, glanced at it, then pressed to answer, "Hello."

From the other end came the composed voice of Secretary Lin, "Mr. Gu, Dr. Zhan just called, saying he agreed to come to China for Cheng Ziyang’s consultation. However, he still has some personal matters to deal with on his end and can only set off the day after tomorrow."

"Alright, coordinate with his timing. Notify me the day after tomorrow and arrange a helicopter to pick him up directly. I want him to arrive in China in the shortest possible time," Gu Ningyi instructed concisely.

Secretary Lin was slightly surprised, paused for half a second, and immediately replied, "Understood, I will handle it right away."

Dong Xin Yan stayed in a stupor in the apartment, almost always lying on the sofa, unable to sense time, unable to feel hunger, unable to feel anything, drowsy—sleeping when tired, waking up to stare blankly at the ceiling.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when she was startled awake by the piercing ringtone of her phone. She dazedly reached out her hand, fumbling here and there, and after a while, finally found her phone.

Without even looking at the screen, she connected the call directly, placing it to her ear, her voice extremely hoarse and weak, "Hello...?"

The voice on the other end hadn’t spoken yet when an anguished cry came through first.

Dong Xin Yan recognized it as Mrs. Cheng’s voice, and she shivered all over, her consciousness quickly snapping back. She couldn’t help but grip the phone tightly, her expression solemn, "Auntie, what happened?"
