She had been waiting for an explanation from Shen Liangchuan ever since the pill issue had come to light.

But she hadn’t expected that after such a long wait, all it would amount to were these words.

“I am sorry...”

The large amount of birth control pills that she had taken had wrecked her body, and all it took was an apology to fix it?

In the darkness, her tears flowed silently. She bit her lip hard, not allowing herself to cry aloud.

It was late.

She turned away, refusing to look in his direction.

However, her defiance froze his heart.

He felt like he didn’t know himself anymore. He had apologized in the hope that she would leave the matter of the pills behind her and start anew with him.

But now she even refused to look at him. He could only smile bitterly.

He had known she wouldn’t forgive him easily.

Still, he had hoped that it would alleviate the strain on their relationship.

Now that she had so outrightly rejected him, he was at the end of the rope.

He looked at Qiao Lian, who had buried herself under the blanket. Under the moonlight, he could somewhat notice the glistening tears on her cheeks. Those tears caused him to step back.

He clenched and unclenched his fists. Then, clasping his hands together, he stood up.

Remaining in the room would only serve to cause more awkwardness and ill feelings between them.

He strode to the door, and then turned around and said, “I’ll be discussing a script with Song Cheng the next couple of days. I won’t be back.”

She heard his words but stayed hidden under the blanket, immobile and refusing to respond.

Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened as he strode away.

The atmosphere in the villa was suffocating him. He stumbled down the stairs, changed his shoes and left, forgetting to even put on his jacket.

The sound of engine starting up could be heard, after which it faded as the car drove into the distance.

Thanks to this, Qiao Lian could tell for sure that Shen Liangchuan had left.

She relaxed her grip on the blanket. By now her face was wet with tears.

She sat up hugging the blanket. She felt like the huge villa was closing in on her, knocking the breath out of her.

She tried to suppress this sense of heaviness by taking a few deep breaths. She got up to wash her face and then got back into bed. Even though she tried, she could not get to sleep.

The next day, Qiao Lian stepped out of the house with dark circles under her eyes.

When Qiao Yi had noticed that, he had looked at her for a long time with pursed lips before saying, “Sister, you need to rest well. Nothing is more important than one’s health, isn’t that right?”

Qiao Lian felt a stinging sensation in her nose when she heard these words. She nodded.

She was accompanying him to his medical consultations today. He was to undergo various examinations so that the specialists could prepare a rehab programme for him.

It wouldn’t have been convenient for Shen Liangchuan to take them to the hospital, but when she took Qiao Yi out of the house, she saw that Song Cheng was already waiting for them by the car. “Mr Shen instructed me to drive you there and back.

His thoughtfulness and careful planning surprised her. She pursed her lips, but remained silent.

It was noon by the time they returned from the hospital.

After taking them back to the villa, Song Cheng spoke, “Ms Qiao, please, would you ask Mr Shen to return my call when he comes home.”

Qiao Lian froze when she heard this.

What did Song Cheng mean by this? Had Shen Liangchuan not been with him last night?

So... where was he then?

Her thoughts were interrupted by Song Cheng’s agitated response as he picked up a phone call, “What? Which hospital is Mr Shen in?!”
