Chapter Five Her Predicament
That gentle voice was what she yearned for, when the pain swept in, Cheng Huanlei wanted to struggle but her body couldn't move at all. Tears rolled around in her eye sockets, feeling like needles piercing into her bones, that kind of pain made eight-year-old Cheng Huanlei's hands and feet tremble non-stop, curled up.
Chills made her cold sweat soak through her hair, and the clothes on her body were instantly drenched. Tears welled up in her eyes, Cheng Huan shrunk back and sobbed...
"Daddy, it hurts... don't... I hurt so much..."
Faint whispers echoed in the operating room, but were ignored like air.
After that, Cheng Hanlei knew that even if she shouted in pain, she couldn't evoke a hint of sympathy.
That year when she was eight years old, she finally understood why she had been left at the Lei's house, and why everyone who clearly disliked her still kept her at the Lei's house... it wasn't because of the promise her mother made with her life...
"Uh..."
Gasping, Cheng Huanrui felt the familiar pain gnawing at every cell in her body. Although she was clearly in agony and drenched in cold sweat, Cheng Huanrui stubbornly bit her lower lip, forcing back the tears that had welled up in her eyes. Her lips were bitten so tightly, trying to suppress the heart-wrenching pain.
When the needle finally left the body, when oneself was pushed out again. The immobile body listened to the concerned voices behind, everyone fawned over and comforted the crying little princess of the Lei family who was weeping with tears like rain.
The gurney was pushed out, and Cheng Huanlei's eyes, filled with tears from pain or heartache, met a pair of deep, incomprehensible eyes, just like every time before when she was pushed out of the operating room, she would always meet those eyes.
Lei Chenyi's eyes...
His gaze was like a needle, stopping on her face, as if studying her expression. When he saw her hiding tears, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up, revealing a mocking arc.
In that mocking arc, Cheng Huanlei slowly closed her eyes.
The rain was pouring down, and Cheng Huanlei stood at the hospital entrance, looking at the weather that had changed unknowingly.
The Lei family's car was still parked at the hospital entrance, Cheng Huanlei's gaze swept over it lightly, and then she walked directly into the rain, heading towards the nearby bus station.
There, apart from bringing her to the hospital to save Lei Xiwen, there will be no more place for her.
The icy rain almost instantly soaked through Cheng Huanle's clothes as soon as she stepped into the rain, and the chill brought by the cold wind invaded her already cold body. The cold made Cheng Huanle involuntarily shiver.
The ponytail was messy because it had been lying on the operating table, and now under the rain, it made Cheng Huanlei look even more disheveled...
A car sped by, stirring up muddy water that splashed all over Cheng Huanre's body as it passed by her side, sending a huge wave of water spraying entirely onto her.
Cheng Huanlei dodged to one side, but was too late, not only getting her clothes and hair dirty, but also losing her footing, and tumbling down into the accumulated rainwater...
Through the rain curtain, I watch the car gradually moving away...
It's Leichenyi's car, and it seems that he can still feel his upturned lips, he seems to enjoy seeing her in a sorry state...
Drenched from head to toe, she returned to her small room, which felt chilly without heating. Cheng Huanlei closed the door, took off her soaked clothes, and stumbled back home as if all her energy had been drained. She put on that two-year-old nightgown, crawled onto bed with blurry eyes, and fell asleep in a daze.
