Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!
Chapter 235: Rupture

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Rupture

Zhao Ying, Shen Xun, and Su Zhe stood by without speaking; they all could sense the change in Su Lu’s emotions and tone.

Shen Xun couldn’t help but glance at his mother again. If it weren’t for the inappropriate timing, he would have insisted on asking her what exactly was going on.

The doctor’s embarrassment never left his face.

Su Lu asked, "I wonder if it’s convenient for you to pass on a message for me?"

The doctor opened his mouth but made no sound. Having already lied, he naturally had to keep up the act. The doctor shook his head, "Sorry, he has been transferred to another hospital, and I have no way to contact him."

After hearing this, Su Lu did not insist, but remained silent for a few seconds before slightly nodding her head, "All right then. Anyway, thank you."

It was then that the doctor finally left the ward, and after leaving, he let out a long sigh of relief. He had to admit, although the young lady had maintained a restrained manner throughout the entire conversation—her voice even being soft—the calm tone she used was surprisingly oppressive.

In this regard, Su Lu might resemble Zhao Ying. Though Zhao Ying’s voice was not as gentle as hers, it was a mild voice nonetheless—yet at times, it could still feel commanding.

"Lulu," Su Zhe called her, and although he did not like that guy from the Bo family, he couldn’t bear to see Su Lu upset, so he said, "Don’t worry, I’ll help you find out."

"No need," Su Lu shook her head, "I’m not in a hurry anymore, I... won’t be anxious again. As for finding out..."

She hesitated for a moment, then stepped out of the ward.

Shen Xun, Zhao Ying, and Su Zhe exchanged glances and followed her out.

Su Lu walked directly across the corridor and headed to another ward since it was late and visiting hours had passed.

The lights in this ward were out, leaving only the dim glow of a night light.

Su Lu knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open it—a nurse’s aide, who was startled to see Su Lu there at such a late hour.

Su Lu stepped inside and saw a figure lying by the bed.

He hadn’t fallen deeply asleep, so he woke up at the sound by the door and sat up straight away. The dim light of the night light shone on him, and seeing the silhouette, he wasn’t entirely sure who it was.

"You... Su Lu?" Jiang Li was surprised, "What brings you here? So late..."

While speaking, he glanced at his watch. The glowing hands on the dial were pointing at a time that widened his eyes in shock, "It’s so late already!"

Jiang Li wasn’t foolish. He immediately sensed that something was wrong and carefully asked, "Are you alright?" Then something came to mind, and his complexion turned pale in an instant, "Jingshen... Brother Shen?"

Jiang Li’s voice trembled, clearly fearing that something terrible had happened to Bo Jingshen.

Su Lu watched him calmly, with his convincingly genuine expression, "It seems you also don’t know where he is."

Jiang Li’s face was stunned, "What do you mean ’where he is’... Where else could he be?"

Jiang Li had been staying vigilantly by Ying Xi’s side, exhausted and worried, as Ying Xi had been in constant pain. Although there was a nurse’s aide present, Jiang Li never left, unable to sleep soundly while keeping watch.

Su Lu’s words only confused him further, already muddled from fatigue.

But he did not want to disturb Ying Xi’s rest, as it was hard for Ying Xi to find sleep in his current condition.

Jiang Li stood up, "Let’s talk outside."

He closed the door to the inner room and stepped into the small living area attached to the hospital room.

Only then did he turn on the lights, the bright illumination casting on Su Lu’s face, and Jiang Li noticed her complexion seemed rather pale and cold.

"Su Lu, are you... okay?" Jiang Li asked.

Su Zhe and Shen Xun, along with Zhao Ying and her son, hadn’t followed them into the room, waiting in the hallway outside instead.

Su Lu lifted her gaze to Jiang Li, her voice still without much fluctuation, as she spoke lightly of the matter.

It was truly light.

Even Jiang Li felt a sinking feeling in his heart upon hearing issues that should have been heavy, yet coming from Su Lu’s unusually calm and waveless voice, they inexplicably seemed somewhat trivialized.

After listening, Jiang Li’s heart skipped a beat, thinking, what on earth is Brother Shen up to now! But considering the peculiarities of the current situation, and how Bao Jing valued Su Lu, it seemed unlikely that he would intentionally create such a situation and keep his distance from Su Lu without good reason.

Therefore, after listening, Jiang Li was silent for a moment, the first thing he did could only be to try and soothe Su Lu’s emotions, "Su Lu, don’t be angry, Brother Shen must have his difficulties, you..."

"I know," Su Lu nodded, "I’m aware he definitely has his difficulties."

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That’s good, then..."

Su Lu interrupted him, "But I don’t want to wait anymore."

"Ah... what?" Jiang Li was stunned, his heart thudding erratically.

"I’m tired, I don’t want to wait any longer," Su Lu said earnestly to Jiang Li, "Ah Li, I came to bother you so late just hoping you could help me pass on a message. I’m already exhausted, I don’t even want to look for any other way to communicate, so just help me pass on this message."

Jiang Li was completely dumbfounded, feeling like this troublesome matter had unfairly fallen onto his shoulders... What kind of unpleasant task was this?

He was inwardly bitter but couldn’t express it.

All he could do was force himself to ask, "What... what message?"

"Perhaps, he’s been concealing things from me time and again under the guise of it being for my own good. Perhaps everyone in the know, they all might understand his difficulties, even including myself, if I were to hear about his struggles, might be willing to forgive him. But I’m tired, I don’t want to wait for him to tell me about his difficulties anymore," Su Lu said in a very calm voice.

This calmness, honestly, even made Jiang Li feel anxious.

Such calmness could make one feel that she didn’t take it to heart at all, as if she didn’t care at all.

Compared to being emotional, making a fuss, having joy or anger, it was this expressionless calm and indifference that were far more unsettling.

"Ah Li, please relay this to him for me," Su Lu looked at Jiang Li, her tone as calm as if she were talking about today’s weather.

"Today, he chose to exclude me from matters, regardless of whether the situation was dangerous, troublesome, or whatever. He chose to deceive me, not saying a word before leaving me out, which is essentially him pushing me away. So from now on, please ask him to keep his troubles to himself, and never let me know. I don’t want to know, nor do I want to forgive him."

As Jiang Li listened to these words, his heart kept lurching, and it was at this point that he finally detected the emotion in Su Lu’s words—a firm resolve that made him even more unnerved.

"I will never forgive," Su Lu said through clenched teeth, "Once, I, Su Lu, was not even afraid of death for his sake. And now, I’m not even worthy to be kept informed, he says get engaged and we get engaged, tells me to wait and I wait, and now even more so... forget it."
