Chapter Forty-Six Jing Xin collected her thoughts and hailed a taxi by the roadside. Around six or seven o’clock was rush hour, and the city’s traffic was nearly paralyzed. Thinking of Uncle Gao’s anxious tone, Jing Xin felt worried and constantly checked her watch, wondering how Gao Ji Xuan was doing. Recalling the shocking sight of him last time, a hint of concern welled up in her heart. She thought the woman who died in the hospital that Uncle Gao mentioned was probably very important to Gao Ji Xuan. What meaning is there in living after losing the most important person? It’s just numbly passing time, like her. Without Jiang Xiangyang, how would she find happiness in the long years ahead? Jing Xin sighed. Life is unpredictable; love and unlove cannot be forced. After a long wait, the car finally moved out of the congested city center, and the road became clear. By the time she reached the Gao family villa, it was already nine o’clock. As Jing Xin stepped out of the taxi, a young girl in a servant’s uniform approached her. “Are you Miss Tian? The master has been waiting for you here.” “Oh!” Jing Xin followed her through the brightly lit garden. “How is Ji Xuan?” she asked nervously.
“Young Master became uncontrollable after hearing that Miss Zhao died in the hospital this afternoon. The master was not home, and none could restrain him. Eventually, the madam knelt and begged him before he calmed down. Now, he refuses to let anyone enter his room, and his wounds have torn severely.” The young girl’s eyes reddened as she wiped her face with the back of her hand.
Jing Xin entered the hall, where Gao Zhanhong sat desolately on the sofa, with Ji Xuan’s mother beside him, her shoulders trembling slightly. Hearing footsteps, Gao Zhanhong looked up and quickly stood to greet her.
“Jing Xin, you’re finally here. Ji Xuan’s situation is very bad. He’s not eating or drinking and refuses the doctor’s treatment, losing his will to survive.”
Mrs. Gao approached, grabbing Jing Xin’s hand. “Jing Xin, I heard from Zhan Peng that you persuaded Ji Xuan to take medicine last time. You must save my son! What am I going to do? Please help us!”
