She was fearful of him.
Fu Qinglun froze on the spot. He felt as if there was a knife stabbing his heart and he was in tremendous pain.
He thought that the furthest distance between both of them was these two steps now. He would never be able to be able to remain by her side again.
Just at that moment, Mama Lin fainted.

Mom!



…
At the hospital.
Mama Lin was wheeled out of the operating theater. Lin Shiyu walked ahead hurriedly.
Doctor, how is my mother?

The doctor took off his mask.
We’ve managed to save the patient, but she’s in critical condition now and doesn’t have much time left.

Lin Shiyu’s pretty eyes narrowed. Her mother did not have much time left now.
Why, why was it that she had worked so hard, and yet she could not stop her mother from leaving?
She knew that her mother’s health had not been good all this time. The doctor said it was a miracle that her mother was able to live for so long, but she knew that her mother just wanted to accompany her for a little while longer.
She and her mother only had each other to depend on in this world.
But now, her mother did not have much time left.
In the future, she would be alone.


Lin Shiyu’s pretty eyes reddened. All these years, she had not allowed herself to be weak. She felt that when she was strong enough, she could protect her mother. But at this moment, she was still that little girl.
That little girl who needed her mother.
Her white teeth bit down hard on her red lips. She turned around and was about to enter the ward.
But when she turned around, she saw a handsome figure. It was Fu Qinglun.
He had been standing behind her watching her.
Now his eyes landed on her red eyes. His handsome features were filled with sympathy and heartache. He must be thinking of hugging her.
Lin Shiyu clenched her fists slowly. Those memories that had been hidden from her consciousness during hypnotherapy had surfaced. She remembered everything now.
The terror, the pain, the blood.
It was exactly like the nightmare yesterday. She was swimming vigorously in the water. When her fair hands encircled his waist, she saw his handsome face.
—-Big Brother, what are you doing?


—-Big Brother, that hurts.

—-Ah!

Little Shiyu was split into two. The good-looking big brother before her eyes had turned into a demon.
Lin Shiyu turned her face away. The relationship between them was an ill-fated one.
She entered the ward.
…
In the hospital ward.
Mama Lin had already woken up. Lin Shiyu filled a tub with warm water.
Mom, I will clean your face for you.

Mama Lin suddenly looked like she had aged a lot. She pulled Lin Shiyu’s hand and teared up.
At this moment, it was as if they had gone back in time to their darkest and most helpless period.


Their world was filled with pain.
A pain where there was no escape.
Lin Shiyu swiftly wiped her mother’s tears with the hot towel.
Mom, don’t cry. I have already grown up, and I can handle my own life.

She did not need her mother to handle her life for her anymore, nor did she need her to shoulder the pain and carry all that burden.
Mama Lin’s tears cascaded down. She clenched her fist and knocked on the bed regretfully.
Why… why did it have to be… Fu Qinglun?

Just then, there was a flurry of steady footsteps. Fu Qinglun had entered.
He looked at the painful faces of both the mother-and-daughter pair. He had not witnessed their darkest and most helpless period nor was he by their sides, but he could already imagine how upset they must have been.
Their worlds were flooded with their heartbroken tears.
Mama Lin saw Fu Qinglun and she got agitated again.
Why are you here? Get out, I don’t want to see you. Scram!

Shi’shi was so little then. How could you bear to do that to her? You beast!



You destroyed Shi’shi’s happiness as a child. You destroyed Shi’shi’s childhood!

Mama Lin stretched her hand and smashed the tub of water forcefully onto Fu Qinglun.
Fu Qinglun did not move. The warm water splashed onto him, wetting his shirt and trousers. The tub hit his forehead and a loud sound ensued. His forehead swiftly sustained a cut.
This man had never been so wretched in his entire life.

Mom, I’m sorry…

I’m sorry.
He knew that the words ‘I’m sorry’ were worthless, but besides apologizing, he did not know what else he could say.

Fu Qinglun, get out. Don’t agitate my Mom anymore. Please, I beg you. Don’t appear in front of us anymore!

Lin Shiyu immediately pushed Fu Qinglun out.
Fu Qinglun stood outside the door. The door closed before his eyes. As he stretched his hand out, he held onto the door and asked hoarsely.
Shi’shi, don’t you want me anymore?

Lin Shiyu did not speak a word. She pried his large palm away and closed the door.
Fu Qinglun froze outside the door. His handsome eyes were reddened. This was the first time in his life he was completely consumed by helplessness.
…
At night.
Mama Lin had finally fallen asleep. Lin Shiyu walked out of the ward. At this moment, she heard a hoarse voice.
Shi’shi, have something to eat. You have not eaten for the whole day.

Lin Shiyu turned around to see Fu Qinglun holding dinner bought from the restaurant outside. He did not change his clothes and his outfit had already dried, but the water stains still remained. He was unkempt and disheveled.
He placed the dinner on the chair and said gently,
These are your favorite dishes. Shi’shi, eat while the food is still hot.

Lin Shiyu turned around and left.
But she did not manage to leave. A clean, large hand grasped her slender wrist and she was forced to stop in her tracks.
Lin Shiyu could not tolerate his touch and hurled his large hand away instinctively.
Fu Qinglun, let go!

Fu Qinglun did not release her. He looked down at this ravishing face and his dark red lips curved slightly.
Shi’shi, I’m sorry, I really am sorry. I mistook Lu Qi’er for you.

I really ought to be dead. Why did I mistake someone else for you? If I had recognized you earlier on, I would have spent all my time accompanying and protect you. This way, your mother and you would not have needed to suffer.

Initially, we could have had a different story, a different ending, but we wasted time and missed each other because of all of these misunderstandings.

Shi’shi, could you give me another chance? Back then, I was also a victim. It’s very unfair and cruel to project all your hatred on me. I’m afraid I can’t take it.

Lin Shiyu’s pretty eyes got increasingly red. She struggled relentlessly and wanted to slap away his large hand, but the man was clutching onto her tightly.

Fu Qinglun, if you harbor the slightest guilt towards me, then please leave me alone. Do not appear in front of me again.


Leave?
Fu Qinglun muttered this word in a low voice and he laughed to himself despondently.
Shi’shi, I will go wherever you want me to go. But I don’t have a home anymore. I don’t have anything now. I only have… you.
