Chapter 623: Chapter 623 A Very Good Choice (2)_1

In fact, the problem Situ Xin wanted to solve was not necessarily hard yet not necessarily easy either—it all depended on the individual’s perspective. And, given Situ Xin’s condition at the moment, all she really needed was someone by her side to enlighten her, and the matter would have easily been put to rest.

It certainly wouldn’t have become a hurdle that Situ Xin would need to overcome on her path of cultivation, let alone a Heart Demon in her practice.

But in the grand scheme of things, there is a preordained fate, and in the midst of Situ Xin’s cultivation journey, there just had to be this tribulation that seemed like a test of sentiment but wasn’t a test of sentiment she had to endure.

Baibai in the space looked at Situ Xin, whose Divine Sense was gradually blurring, and he became incredibly agitated, hopping up and down. He could only fret in the space without any way to help Situ Xin. "Master, I’m sorry, Baibai is useless, I can’t help you at all," Baibai’s tiger eyes reddened. "But Baibai believes Master will definitely make it through this ordeal. Master, keep going."

Outside in the space, Situ Xin was frantic, her whole body burning hot, her face scorched to an abnormal redness. The Situ Xin who had been sitting on the bed gradually weakened and then passed out onto the bed.

Situ Xin was completely unaware that she had fallen into a comatose state. She had gone from initial confusion and irritation to self-loathing. She even wondered if her ignorance of love meant she was incomplete as a person.

Situ Xin, who had never thought this way before, was now utterly ensnared in the web she had woven for herself and couldn’t find her way out.

As time ticked by in the midst of Situ Xin’s inner struggle, two little figures in her mind stubbornly argued their respective views, with Situ Xin watching as if she were a bystander. Yet, even though she observed like an outsider, her heart was completely swayed by the words of these two figures.

In the living room, it was already time for dinner, and everyone who was supposed to eat at home had arrived, but Situ Xin’s room door remained firmly closed.

The people who had been leisurely chatting in the living room became restless when they saw that Situ Xin’s room door hadn’t been opened since she returned in the afternoon.

"Old man, what’s wrong with Baby? She hasn’t come out all afternoon, and now it’s dinner time, but there’s no sign of her," Old Madam Situ said, looking worriedly upstairs at Old Master Situ.

An unmistakable concern shone in Old Master Situ’s eyes.

"Dad, Mom, I’ll go up and check on Baby. I’ve felt uneasy since the afternoon, and I’m afraid something may have happened to her," Loo Yaxin said, her anxiety growing strong—she hadn’t associated her uneasiness with Situ Xin until hearing her mother-in-law mentioning Situ Xin, which intensified her feelings of disquiet.

"Go ahead," said Old Master Situ, also deeply worried. He was beginning to regret having listened to Old Lu in the afternoon; he should have gone up to check on her himself.

With her father-in-law’s permission, Loo Yaxin quickened her pace, ascending the stairs and heading to Situ Xin’s room.

At Situ Xin’s room door, Loo Yaxin stifled her impatience and knocked several times. "Baby, open up, it’s Mom," she called out, then listened intently for movement inside. However, despite waiting for a while, she heard nothing.

She grew frantic, knocking repeatedly, "Baby, open the door. Baby." But no matter how much she knocked, there was no response from the door.

Situ Xin had the habit of locking her door from the inside because she usually needed to enter her space, and Loo Yaxin was aware of this habit. So when she called out to Situ Xin repeatedly with no response, Loo Yaxin decided to go get the spare key to Situ Xin’s room.

Just as she turned around, she faced Old Madam Situ coming up from downstairs, having heard the commotion from above and was worried sick, "Yaxin, what happened, did Baby not come to open the door?"

"I’ve been calling for a while, but there’s no response from inside Baby’s room. Mom, could something have happened to her?" Loo Yaxin was on the verge of tears with worry.

"Don’t panic, just go get the spare key for Baby’s room and open the door," Old Madam Situ said, her heart racing, but she grew more composed upon seeing her daughter-in-law’s near tearful distress.

When Old Madam Situ and Loo Yaxin went downstairs to get the key, Old Master Situ had already taken the key and was on his way up.

"I’ve got the key, let’s quickly open Baby’s room," Old Master Situ said, overtaking Old Madam Situ and Loo Yaxin and immediately opened Situ Xin’s room door with the key.

As they entered Situ Xin’s room, they saw her laying unconscious on the bed, her face flush with fever.

Loo Yaxin rushed forward, reaching Situ Xin’s side before Old Master Situ and Old Madam Situ. She touched Situ Xin’s forehead and said, "Baby’s forehead is so hot."

No sooner had Loo Yaxin spoken, Old Madam Situ’s hand also reached Situ Xin’s forehead, startled by the abnormal heat there, hot almost to the point of scalding. "Quick, call for a car, we’ll take Baby to the hospital right now," Old Madam Situ exclaimed urgently, knowing the temperature could not be low despite not having taken a reading.

Old Master Situ, already anxious about Situ Xin being unwell, grew even more agitated and immediately agreed, "I’ll call right now," and rushed out of Situ Xin’s room in a hurry.

As Old Master Situ hurried downstairs to call the driver, Situ Haotian entered. Seeing Old Master Situ madly dialing the wrong numbers, he asked in confusion, "Dad, what’s the matter? Who are you trying to call?"
