Chapter 269 I want to call my wife

Sheng Youxia's eyelids remained downcast throughout.

Her hand gripping the doorknob tightened bit by bit, "Mr. Fu, do you believe in this kind of thing?"

"I don't."

Sheng Youxia let out a faint, bitter smile, "Since you don't believe, why bother asking me."

"I'm afraid if you really made a promise, I wouldn't stand a chance."

It must have been unsettling for her heart.

The moment her guard dropped slightly toward him, her guilt toward Guan Mingshu would deepen.

After all, it involved her mother's life.

Sheng Youxia raised her hand to Fu Shilv's wrist, "It's just a promise, after all. If it truly would help my mom settle down, I'd do it."

She pulled away his hand.

Then, she slammed the door shut.

Sheng Youxia's return steps were heavy as she went back to the bedside, intending to pour some water for Guan Mingshu.

"Xiaxia, you don't have to keep hiding like this."

Sheng Youxia stopped beside the hospital bed.
