: To Be Estranged in the Same Room (7)magic

As she cried, the scene changed to her lying on a cold, steel operating table. A doctor was conducting surgery on her and taking away her child. At this, Xu Wennuan’s body started trembling violently. Her tears were flowing nonstop, and she was letting out low groans.

Finally, she was jolted awake from her dream by an abrupt sneeze, after which she opened her misty eyes to darkness. Not knowing how long she’d been dreaming, she laid on the bed and took a few deep breaths. Then, she reached for the lamp on the nightstand.Lu Bancheng had deliberately chosen to return home at night, because he hadn’t expected to run into Xu Wennuan that late. His body stiffened when she looked at him, and his movements halted midway through closing the door.

After a while, he cast his gaze at her, but she was no longer looking at him. Her head was lowered as she was looking through the medical kit.

Is she sick?

Her head was so lowered that he couldn’t see her face, but he could see from her frame that she had lost a lot of weight over the past month.

After finding what she was looking for, she left the medical kit on the couch and stood up with a box of medicine in her hands. Then, she walked slowly into the dining room.

As her figure disappeared, Lu Bancheng retracted his gaze and looked at the coffee table again and noticed the remaining instant cup noodles. The strength Lu Bancheng exerted in gripping his suitcase involuntarily increased. He stared at the noodles for a long 30 seconds before forcing himself to stop. He regained his composure, closed the door, and walked toward the entrance.

Lu Bancheng put on his shoes. Just when he was ready to head out, he heard coughing coming from the dining room, followed by the sound of a glass hitting the floor and shattering. His body jerked as he stood frozen for a moment at the door; however, he chose to leave.
