The top star opened his eyes and became cannon fodder, the celebrity's wife was exposed

Chapter 1172 Respect your decision

The doctor took off his mask and sighed, "The patient was in a critical condition when he was brought here. We have tried our best, but..."

"But what?" Jiang Mubai's voice trembled violently. She didn't dare to hear the worst result.

The doctor said solemnly: "The patient is no longer in danger of death, but further observation is needed. The next 24 hours are critical, and the family members must be mentally prepared."

Jiang Mubai slumped on the ground helplessly, tears falling silently. Out of danger, these four words were like a ray of hope from hell to her.

Cheng Yunchuan helped Jiang Mubai up and took her to the ward. Jiang's mother lay quietly on the bed, her face pale and her breathing weak. Jiang Mubai held his mother's hand, feeling her weak pulse, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Sophie's terminal illness, her mother's critical illness, and the successive blows made Jiang Mubai feel exhausted physically and mentally. She didn't know how much she could bear, she just wanted to escape from it all, to a place without pain and sadness.

Suddenly, Jiang Mubai's phone rang again, this time it was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

"Hey?"

"Jiang Mubai, long time no see." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, making Jiang Mubai feel creepy instantly.

"who are you?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I know your secret." The voice was full of malice. "I know about your exposure and your mother's illness. If you don't want more people to know, just listen to me..."

Jiang Mubai's breathing stagnated, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to her head. She held the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white, and forced herself to calm down, "What do you want to do?"

"It's very simple," the voice paused, then said word by word, "I want you to leave Cheng Yunchuan, leave him forever!"

There was a shrill laugh from the other end of the line, and then the call was hung up. Jiang Mubai stood there blankly, the phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a dull sound.

She looked up at her unconscious mother on the hospital bed, and then looked at Cheng Yunchuan who was standing beside her worriedly. Her heart was full of struggle and pain. How should she choose? Should she protect her secret or protect her love and family affection?

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a man in a black suit walked in. He walked straight to Jiang Mubai and handed her a photo.

The photo showed a man lying in a pool of blood with a bruised face and a black eye. This man was the mysterious man who attacked Cheng Yunchuan that night.

"You... who are you?" Jiang Mubai asked in horror.

The man raised his lips and revealed a sinister smile, "I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" Jiang Mubai was even more confused.

"I can help you solve all your troubles," the man approached Jiang Mubai and whispered in her ear, "including... your mother."

Jiang Mubai trembled all over. She felt like a butterfly caught in a spider web, unable to move. Who was this man? Why did he know her secret? What did he want? Fear surged like a tide, almost drowning her.

Cheng Yunchuan noticed something was wrong with Jiang Mubai, walked over to her, and gently held her hand, "Mubai, what's wrong?"

Jiang Mubai forced a smile, "It's okay, just a little tired." She held the photo tightly in her hand, her fingertips almost piercing the photo. She couldn't tell Cheng Yunchuan, and couldn't let him get involved in this dangerous vortex.

The man looked at the two people's clasped hands, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes. "Miss Jiang, what do you think of my proposal?"

Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. "Give me some time, I will give you an answer."

The man smiled and said, "Of course, but I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. After all, time waits for no one." After that, he turned and left the ward. The black figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, like an ominous omen.

Cheng Yunchuan looked at the man's back as he left, frowning, "Mu Bai, who is this person? What did he say to you?"

Jiang Mubai shook his head, "Nothing, just an insignificant person."

Cheng Yunchuan wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Jiang Mubai, "Yunchuan, I want to be quiet for a while."

Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai's pale face and felt distressed. He knew that she must be hiding something from him, but he chose to respect her and give her space. He patted her shoulder gently, "Okay, I'll be outside, call me if you need anything."

After Cheng Yunchuan left, Jiang Mubai leaned against the wall weakly, tears blurring her vision again. She took out her cell phone, looked at the strange number, hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed back.

The phone rang a few times before being connected. That cold voice came again, "Have you figured it out?"

"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Mubai's voice was hoarse and weak.

"Leave Cheng Yunchuan and disappear from his world forever."

"What if I don't agree?"

"Haha, then you can just wait to collect your mother's body."

Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly. She knew that this man was not joking. She bit her lips tightly, her nails dug deep into her palms, almost bleeding.

"Okay, I promise you."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mubai collapsed on the ground, feeling that all the strength in her body had been drained away. She wanted to leave Cheng Yunchuan, the man she loved deeply, and the happiness she had finally found.

The next morning, when Jiang Mubai woke up, she found Cheng Yunchuan sleeping beside the bed. She gently stroked his face, her heart filled with reluctance and guilt.

She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the rising sun outside, feeling lost. She didn't know where to go or what else she could do.

Suddenly, she remembered what the man had said, "I can help you solve all your troubles, including...your mother."

A bold idea emerged in her mind. Perhaps, this was an opportunity, an opportunity to completely get out of the predicament.

She walked to the bedside and gently woke Cheng Yunchuan up, "Yunchuan, I want to take my mother to a foreign country for treatment."

Cheng Yunchuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Going abroad for treatment? That's good. The medical conditions abroad are more advanced."

Jiang Mubai nodded, "Well, I want to arrange it as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll go contact the hospital." Cheng Yunchuan said as he was about to get up.

Jiang Mubai held his hand, "Yunchuan, I want to go alone."

Cheng Yunchuan was stunned for a moment, "Going alone? Why?"

Jiang Mubai lowered his head, not daring to look at him, "I... I want to be alone."

Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai's flickering eyes and felt a little uneasy. He always felt that she was hiding something from him, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and said, "Okay, I respect your decision. But you have to promise me to take good care of yourself and tell me if there is anything."
