100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 135 I Really Want to See You_1

It was only during busy times that his heart felt somewhat full, without the emptiness, his mind not filled with the tiny, adorable shadow.

When he couldn’t bear the longing and took the initiative to call, it was always her grandfather who answered the phone, each time she had all sorts of reasons not to take the call.

He chuckled wryly, seeming to worry too much. She was still childlike at heart, and after a period of sadness, she would naturally forget, even if she had once been so attached.

Until one day, while he was in the library researching for his thesis design, he suddenly received a call from her.

Her voice had changed, no longer as crisp as before but somewhat hoarse, and her first words shook him to the core—

She said, "Hangshen, can I see you one last time? I’m going to die..."

Gong Xiaoqiao’s words stunned Gu Hangshen completely.

It took him a while to regain his composure, thinking that if something had truly happened to her, Grandpa Gong wouldn’t keep it from him, but what if he too was worried about affecting his studies and work and was hiding it from him?

The more Gu Hangshen thought about it, the more alarmed he became, and he hurriedly asked her, "Xiaoqiao, what happened? Take your time and tell me!"

"Hangshen, Xiaoqiao misses you so much..."

"I miss you so much..."

"I know, good girl, Hangshen misses you too."

"No, you don’t understand! Xiaoqiao knows, I can’t be with Hangshen, Hangshen belongs to sister, and once Hangshen and sister go to America, they will never come back!"

Gu Hangshen couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Who told you I’m not coming back? Didn’t I say I would come back?"

"Not true! You’re just lying to a child! I’m not a child anymore! I know everything!" she insisted fervently on the other end.

Gu Hangshen felt helpless, wondering what she really knew.

"Xiaoqiao, first tell me what happened, okay? Why would you suddenly say you’re going to die? You shouldn’t say such things carelessly!" Gu Hangshen’s tone was somewhat stern. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

As soon as Gong Xiaoqiao heard this, she immediately burst into tears, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Hangshen... I didn’t want to bother you!"

"But I don’t have much time left..."

"I miss you so much, I really want to see you..."

"If I die... I won’t ever see you again..."

"Xiaoqiao, are you sick? Is there someplace you don’t feel well?" She always evaded mentioning what exactly had happened, leaving Gu Hangshen anxious and concerned, but he still patiently probed her.

"I..." Gong Xiaoqiao hesitated to speak, "I’m sick... a very serious illness... it hurts so much... I’m sure I’m about to die..."

"How could that be? Where’s Grandpa? Let him take the phone!"

"No, don’t! Grandpa doesn’t know! Don’t tell Grandpa! I don’t want to worry him."

On Gu Hangshen’s end, his colleagues who were collaborating on the thesis design were urging him to hurry, wanting to discuss the details, and Gu Hangshen responded perfunctorily.

Gong Xiaoqiao immediately picked up on his distraction, "Hangshen, are you very busy? I’m sorry..."

"I’m sorry..." After uttering those three words, she hung up the call, leaving him on the other side of the ocean, utterly distraught.

Later, when Gu Hangshen tried calling back, there was no answer.

At that moment, Gu Hangshen became frantic, completely irrational, and without even searching for confirmation of what had happened, he dropped everything and took a flight back home overnight.

Gu Hangshen searched everywhere, Gong Xiaoqiao was not at Grandpa Gong’s house, nor at school.

Finally, Gu Hangshen found her in the neglected backyard of his home where no one had lived for a long time.
