She was about to call again when a maid noticed that she was still around and ushered her out of the bedroom to get her away from Qiu Ran.
Lu Zhaoyang did not want to leave before things were settled. She continued reaching out to Huo Yunting outside the bedroom.
She would never forgive herself if her visit caused Qiu Ran to relapse.
She paced up and down outside the bedroom, feeling anxious but also helpless.
After a while, the door opened and the psychiatrist came out.



Miss, I have calmed her down. She needs rest and cannot undergo any more stress. Please go home.

Lu Zhaoyang shook her head.
I’m staying here, but I will make sure she does not see me.


You can’t do anything by staying here. Your presence will only make things worse for her!


Let me stay a while more until I can reach Mr Huo.

The doctor could see that she was stubborn and did not insist further. He returned to his own place.
Lu Zhaoyang continued calling Huo Yunting, but he did not respond.
She stared at the bedroom and finally put down her phone. It was then that she noticed the pain on her elbow again. She scored a wound on her elbow and it was bleeding.
It was a long time before it became quiet in the bedroom. She finally felt relieved and took her leave.
It took her almost half an hour to reach her car as she hesitated on her decision to leave.
On the way back, she silently blamed herself for telling Qiu Ran the truth, for revealing so much…


Three hours later, the maid in the bedroom watched Qiu Ran sitting up in bed, lying against the headboard. Her face was pale and her eyes stared blankly into space. Nevertheless, the maid felt relieved to see her calm.

Ma’am, let me get you dinner downstairs.

Qiu Ran did not reply. She looked down at her palms with quiet detachment.
The maid left the room and went to ask her colleague to take her place beside Qiu Ran.
The room became dead silent. Memories of the past came back to Qiu Ran in flashes.
Her happiness in marrying Huo Zhenning…
The joy she felt when she had Huo Yunting…
Years of blissful family life that almost felt like a dream…
Lies! They were all lies!!
Xue Yuming had destroyed everything that was hers. Her world crumbled and her life became filled with darkness and despair.


That woman’s daughter had even won over her son’s heart. He even allowed her to come and show off her success.
She, Qiu Ran, had lost in every way!
Suddenly, she heard footsteps from downstairs. Someone was coming. She was going to be monitored again.
Each day was a torture to her.
Qiu Ran slowly took out something underneath her bedsheets. It was something that she always took out and pondered upon after waking up from nightmares, but never had the courage to use.
Perhaps it was now time to free herself from this pain…
…
The lengthy and tedious grand meeting and signing ceremony was finally over. Huo Yunting stepped out of the meeting room in the national trade center.
He took out his phone and saw that Lu Zhaoyang had called him more than a dozen times. He also had a few missed calls from the Sierra Villa landline.
His eyes glowed joyfully as he tapped on his phone. He would return all these calls as soon as possible.


However, before he could press the call button, his phone rang.
The caller’s number was not in his phone book.
He took the call with suspicion and the caller spoke through the phone with an almost mechanical voice.

Mr Huo, this is the city hospital. Your mother, Qiu Ran, was sent here half an hour ago. She attempted suicide by slicing her own neck with a blade. We were unable to save her and she had just passed away. We need you to visit the hospital to sign her death certificate.
