If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Xu Chaomu has Disappeared (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Translator: 549690339

The curtain of rain hung low, and the air in the hospital room was somewhat stuffy and oppressive.

Xu Chaomu stared at the ceiling for quite a while, her large eyes filled with confusion.

She was like a child abandoned in a maze, walking and turning, as one by one the people around her all left, and night fell, yet no one came to take her hand and lead her out of the maze.

She cried alone, searching for an exit in the maze.

But in the vast maze, where no light could be seen, no one would take her out.

Xu Chaomu struggled to get out of bed and pulled out the needle in her hand.

Her head was still a bit muddled, but at that moment, there was a place she really wanted to go.

Really wanted, very much so.

She quietly went down a secluded staircase in the hospital; the hallway was very dark, and since it was getting dark outside, she cautiously went down the stairs, step by step, holding on to the banister.

From time to time, one or two nurses brushed past her, but none of them noticed her.

By the time she went downstairs, it was almost completely dark outside, and a light rain was falling, cool against her face.

She rubbed her eyes; she had sobered up quite a bit and her body didn’t feel as uncomfortable anymore.

Suddenly, she remembered something—did she… force a kiss on Shen Chi?

Slapping her head vigorously, she was filled with regret; surely, alcohol could muddle the senses.

How did she end up kissing him when he was about to get married? Would that count as seduction?

In his eyes, would he look at her with prejudice again? She wasn’t that kind of woman…

But the kiss had happened, and yet, what did it feel like? She couldn’t remember anything at all…

Xu Chaomu slapped her head as she walked outside the hospital. She withdrew a bit of money from her bank card and then hailed a taxi to go home.

Yes, she wanted to go home.

Her home.

Soon, it was completely dark. Streetlights lit up one after another, and the streets bustled with activity.

The taxi moved from the lively city center towards a more remote area as Xu Chaomu watched out the window with wide eyes.

Due to the temperature difference, condensation slowly fogged up the car windows.

Blinking her large eyes, she wrote her own name “Xu Chaomu” with her finger.

After writing it, she drew a heart, and beside it, she wrote Shen Chi’s name.

Xu Chaomu, Shen Chi.

Xu Chaomu, Shen Chi.

She smiled joyfully; although she dared not write it in front of him, now that he wasn’t there, she wrote as she wished.

“Xu Chaomu loves Shen Chi…” she murmured softly, and as she chanted, she began to smile.

She didn’t know how long she had laughed foolishly, but as the writing on the window blurred and became unclear, tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.

She slowly wiped away all the traces with her hand as her shirt collar was already soaked with tears.

An eighteen-year-old girl, with the most ethereal of loves.

“You must always be happy…” Xu Chaomu whispered to herself.

A towering building flashed by outside the window, and Xu Chaomu looked up; it was an excellent location with perfect lighting.

The building was both luxurious and imposing, with the four characters “Shen Group” prominently displayed.

Shen Group, the CEO, Shen Chi.

Xu Chaomu had never been inside the building; she didn’t know what Shen Chi was like when he worked.

She heard from others that he was cold and scheming, with ruthless methods.

Then was he often angry with his subordinates? His subordinates must hate him to death.

Thinking this, Xu Chaomu giggled.

But as the building disappeared from view, a tremendous sense of loneliness enveloped her again..

He was the CEO, rich and powerful, with ability and an aura that commanded respect and fear from everyone.

And she, she couldn’t do anything right.

They were all correct, it was her who was unworthy of him.

His marriage to Bai Man would be just perfect.

Besides, he didn’t like her anyway.

The car drove out of the busiest area and slowly headed toward a quieter neighborhood.

“Young lady, it’s quite late for you to be going to that place, it’s not safe,” the taxi driver said to Xu Chaomu.

“It’s fine, my mother is there,” Xu Chaomu replied calmly.

Indeed, her mother was there, why would she be afraid?

Ever since she was a child, her mother had always cherished her the most.

“Oh, if your mother is there, that’s good. If you were going alone, I’d be worried. That place is about to be demolished, there are barely any households left, and it gets quite eerie at night.”

“Thank you, uncle, but I’m not scared,” she reassured him. “Do you want to get some sleep? It’ll be fifty minutes before we arrive.”

“Okay, you can drive slowly, there’s no rush,” she said.

Xu Chaomu leaned against the window and closed her eyes, her mother’s face gradually coming to mind.

It had been eight years since she last visited her mother. and she felt very unfilial.

Her mother had been so kind to her, keeping everything for her, taking care of her, caring for her, pampering her.

And yet, she hadn’t gone to see her mother even once in eight years.

She really wasn’t a good daughter.

The further away from the city center, the more remote the roads became, and even the streetlights grew dim. It was still raining outside, the drizzle accompanied by the hissing sound when the wind blew.

Xu Chaomu knew, in this world, no one would ever love her like her mother did.

Never again.

The car continued along the highway, however, back at the hospital, Shen Chi had returned and was going mad.

Where had Xu Chaomu gone?

“Somebody! Where’s the patient? Where did she go?” Shen Chi lashed out at the nurses.

His eyes were bloodshot, a chilly aura emitted from him, and the veins on his clenched fists were bulging.

He had only gone down to talk to Li Beiting for a while and smoked a cigarette, and she had disappeared!

“Sir, we didn’t notice the patient leaving, please wait, I’ll go check the restroom!” The nurse’s face was white with fear.

“Is it necessary to pull out the IV for a trip to the restroom?! Are you all fucking useless?!”

After speaking, Shen Chi kicked over a coffee table, and the glassware on it shattered with a crash!

His face tight, the lines of his back rigid, there was a murderous urge in his eyes.

“Sir, please calm down, we’ll check the surveillance right now, please calm down,” the small nurse was nearly in tears, having never seen anything like this before.

One of the nurses had just administered Xu Chaomu’s injection, having previously seen this man soft as water, who had now suddenly turned into a raging lion.

Indeed, at this moment, Shen Chi was a lion ready to devour someone at any minute!

All the nurses had left, and Shen Chi stood there, suddenly feeling an immense emptiness.

Where had she gone, why had she left without saying a word?

Xu Chaomu, do you even consider me, Shen Chi, important anymore?!

The IV was thrown on the ground, the medication leaking from the needle, with a few drops of blood on the floor.

The bed had already grown cold, and there was no sign of her on it.

The wind blew in through the window, causing the window pane to “dong dong” and the curtains to fly about wildly.

Soon, the head of the hospital rushed over.

“Mr. Shen, I’m sorry, such a serious incident has occurred. We’ve just reviewed the surveillance, and Miss Xu left the hospital on her own. I’m sorry, we are really sorry, it’s our…”

“Get out! All of you fucking get out!” Shen Chi exploded, grabbed an ashtray, and hurled it..
