Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Heartless Departure_1

Qi Cheng kept his face tightly drawn, not saying a word.

Because of the severe cold, he looked very disheveled.

Looking at him like this, Grandpa felt even more heartbroken. "Look at you. Just because of a woman, you don’t even care about your own life!"

His words struck a chord in Qi Cheng’s heart. Qi Cheng also found it quite laughable.

Yes!

A woman; he didn’t know when it started, but it seemed she had become his entire life.

He once didn’t understand the taste of love and wanted to figure it out. Now that he had, he didn’t know if it was fortunate or unfortunate.

Grandpa glared at him. For the second time, both brothers challenged his authority because of women, making him very angry. He started, "Since that woman makes you lose your mind so much, it seems it’s better if she disappears from this world..."

"Young Master Sun!" Before Grandpa finished his words, Qi Cheng had already fainted.

Such a scene neutralized Grandpa’s anger.

The family’s doctor quickly arrived and checked on Qi Cheng. "He fainted due to high fever. It’s already close to 40 degrees. It’s best to send him to the hospital."

Grandpa was furious. "Because of a woman, the men of the Qi family have made themselves look like this. It’s simply a disgrace."

Ji Yunhuan lay in bed for a while before getting up. She didn’t want to be confined here anymore. Discovering the door was open, she walked out.

Qi Cheng had already been taken to the military hospital by Qi Ling. Grandpa sat on the sofa, holding his cane, and his face turned cold when he saw Ji Yunhuan come down.

The servants looked at Ji Yunhuan with complicated expressions.

"Where is Qi Cheng?" Ji Yunhuan asked.

He had been here earlier, so it was impossible he just left her here.

"What, are you worried about him?" Grandpa stared coldly at her. "He’s in the hospital now, satisfied? For you, he got a fever almost to death and even came here to save you. For you, he even wanted to die! Doesn’t he care how much I, his grandfather, care for him? If not for his deep affection for you, I would want to strangle you right now."

Ji Yunhuan lowered her head at Grandpa’s words. "How is he?"

Facing her inquiry, Grandpa told the servant, "Someone, take her to the hospital."

No matter what happened between Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng, Qi Cheng had fallen ill because of her. Until Qi Cheng recovered, she was obliged to stay by his side.

Moreover, they were not divorced yet.

When Ji Yunhuan arrived at the hospital, Qi Ling was there. Seeing Ji Yunhuan, he smirked. "Though you’re pretty, I never thought my brother would be so infatuated with you."

Ignoring the sarcasm in his words, Ji Yunhuan asked, "How is he?"

"He won’t die, rest assured." Qi Ling opened the ward door and led her inside, where Qi Cheng lay.

He had fallen into a coma due to the high fever.

After that, Ji Yunhuan stayed in the hospital with him.

The following morning, Qi Cheng finally woke up. The fever hadn’t subsided yet, and he looked very disheveled. Maybe it was the fever muddling his mind, but seeing her sitting beside him, he reached out and held her hand. "Yunhuan."

His gentle, smiling eyes startled Ji Yunhuan deep inside.

All night, she had worried he would never wake up again. Seeing him wake up at that moment, she almost felt moved by his pathetic state.

Ji Yunhuan gazed at him, and after a moment of hesitation, coldly pulled her hand away.

Qi Cheng looked at her indifferent appearance and seemed to remember something.

He stared at her, sadness filling his eyes again. "Stay, okay?"

She wanted to speak, but he interrupted, "This is my last request. I want you to stay by my side, don’t leave!"

"I’m sorry, I can’t." She had decided and wouldn’t look at his pitiful appearance.

She didn’t want to soften her heart.

She stood up. "Since you are awake, I will go now."

Before Qi Cheng woke, Qi Ling had told her that Grandpa already agreed to the divorce between her and Qi Cheng, but they had to wait until Qi Cheng woke.

After all, Grandpa was afraid Qi Cheng would want to die just to fulfill Grandpa’s statement that there would only be a widowed, not a divorced.

Ji Yunhuan knew it was Qi Cheng who persuaded his grandfather. Without his grandfather’s demands that she wouldn’t be associated with the Qi family afterward and that the child wouldn’t be hers, she still wouldn’t change her decision to leave.

Seeing her so cold, Qi Cheng’s heart felt like it was being fried in oil.

Although it was his decision to let her go, seeing her leave at that moment, he couldn’t help but want to keep her.

He got out of bed, trying to stop her, breaking the IV line. Blood started flowing back into the tube. He didn’t care. After running a fever for a day and just getting up, he hit the chair and fell heavily to the ground.

Ji Yunhuan didn’t look back at his pathetic appearance.

She kept walking out of the ward.

Using his last strength, he crawled on the cold floor, finally getting outside, blood flowing all over, yet he still couldn’t keep her.

In the empty corridor, he could no longer see her figure.

On the whitewashed walls, he seemed to see images of their times together:

...When he got angry, she played the violin specially for him to appease him.

...He took her to the valley, and they walked across the suspension bridge together.

...Back when those times flowed, he didn’t think much of it, but now he resented why time couldn’t stay in that moment.

No matter how beautiful the memories, she would no longer belong to him.

After returning to City A, Ji Yunhuan moved out of the Qi family’s house.

Before leaving, she signed the divorce agreement and left it at the Qi family house. After Qi Cheng signed it, he would send it to Lawyer Liu.

In any case, she never wanted to see him again.

When she left, her second sister-in-law was there too. Seeing that Ji Yunhuan was really leaving, her second sister-in-law didn’t try to keep her. Grandpa had already agreed to their divorce, and there was nothing more to be said. She just asked, "What about the child? Don’t you plan to see the child before you go?"

Ji Yunhuan replied, "I won’t. Please take care of him from now on."

Before Qi Cheng returned, she could only leave the child with her second sister-in-law.

"Yunhuan, you’re really heartless." Her second sister-in-law felt she had never known Ji Yunhuan. "You can even abandon your newborn child. No woman is as heartless as you in this world."

"Since I’ve always been a heartless woman, just tell him he doesn’t have a mother."

What else could she do?

She couldn’t undo the hatred in her heart.

Nor could she take her own flesh and blood with her.

She could only abandon him.

Besides, the child would live better with the Qi family than with her.

A month later, she received the divorce agreement signed by Qi Cheng from Lawyer Liu.

The Qi family also announced Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng’s divorce.
