Chapter 173: Chapter 172 The Medicine Box is Missing (4)

Sister Hua looked at Ling Chuxia’s downcast, gentle brows and eyes, and felt happy for her in her heart. Ling Chuxia, too, had been someone she’d watched grow up since childhood. As a little girl, she was a mischievous troublemaker who had given her no small amount of worry. At that time, compared to Yun Shu’s obedient and sweet nature, most people naturally didn’t like a wild child.

So in her childhood, Ling Chuxia wasn’t really popular. The smarter and more well-behaved Yun Shu became, the more Chuxia seemed foolish and a headache by comparison.

Yet over these three years, she also watched her transformation from a fiery character into this submissive, somewhat humble figure. When she didn’t speak, she looked exactly like her elder sister Yun Shu. But it was unknown whether it was because her husband disliked her, or her mother-in-law suppressed her, she seemed too restrained. Compared to Yun Shu, she lacked that pride and confidence, completely changing into a different person.

Sometimes, Sister Hua watched her and felt her heart ache, and she couldn’t help but think, how good was her childhood self, how lively, how adorable!

Sometimes people are a very strange thing. Back then, they disliked Ling Chuxia’s bratty behavior so much, but now reminiscing about the past, those troublesome things Chuxia did seem so trivial. What she could remember were Ling Chuxia’s lovely smiles, like the brilliant sunshine, warming one’s heart. On the other hand, Yun Shu was too quiet, too obedient. Now when she thinks back, her memory feels somewhat blurry, unable to recall any specific detail.

Sister Hua’s eyes were tinged with a touch of gentleness, as if watching her own child, and she said softly, "Young Madam, are you hungry? I’ve prepared breakfast and will go warm it up now."

Ling Chuxia’s drifting thoughts were brought back by Sister Hua’s words. She pursed her lips and then nodded gently, "Thank you for the trouble."

Sister Hua turned and walked into the kitchen.

Ling Chuxia still stood there in a daze, her mind replaying the few sentences Sister Hua had just spoken to her. It still felt like a dream. Shi Che clearly detested her, yet now he had such words with Sister Hua. Was that a sign of his concern for her?

Could Shi Che actually care for her?

Ling Chuxia’s limbs felt weak involuntarily, her feet unsteady as if she were stepping on marshmallows.

If it weren’t for Sister Hua’s certain tone just now, she would have thought she was hearing things!

Maybe... it was because she had taken the initiative to ask for medicine yesterday, that pleased Shi Che? So that’s why Shi Che would say something that sounded like he cared for her? Or perhaps it was just an offhand remark of his without any deeper meaning?

Ling Chuxia thought about it for a while but couldn’t figure it out. In the end, she just shook her head, chuckled lightly, and then, her smile slightly faded.

Just how poorly did Shi Che treat her on a regular basis, that such a simple sentence had sent her mind wandering?

Ling Chuxia shook her head vigorously again, dispelling all the wild thoughts in her mind. Then, thinking that Sister Hua would probably take a while with the breakfast, she decided to go to the courtyard to water the plants first.

But just as she was about to take a step, her gaze inadvertently swept towards the sofa, and she suddenly remembered something, halting her footsteps.

The vitamin box! She had actually forgotten about it!

Because she had been with Shi Che the whole day yesterday, all her attention was on him, and she had forgotten about the medicine box. Hopefully, there was no problem with the medicine box!

Ling Chuxia’s heart skipped a beat, and her feet, now out of her control, quickly moved toward the sofa.
