Sun Yuhan tightly grabbed the ring in her hands and clenched her teeth with all her might. She exerted so much strength that blood-red veins started appearing in her eyes.
Although her eyes were bloodshot, she tried not to cry.
Tell me, Lu Yi. What am I to you, what am I to you exactly?
As she screamed shrilly in her head, she was asking herself, and at the same time asking no one at all. However, who could answer her? Was it her, others, or Lu Yi?
When she released her fist, the sapphire ring was still lying in her palm. She wore the ring on her finger, which seemed to be too big for her. She was aware that Yan Huan was wearing the exact same ring as well.
She heard that this was their wedding ring. So what? Ultimately, the ring was now on her finger.
When Lu Yi came home, he seemed to be looking for something.
“Xiao Meng, is there a parcel for me today?” Lu Yi asked his housekeeper.
“There is.” The housemaid was still busy preparing food for them in the kitchen.
“It’s a rather small and light parcel. Miss Sun brought it into your room already.”
“Did she?” Lu Yi frowned when he heard it. As he felt dizzy, he lightly massaged his temple. Then, he started making his way into his room.
However, when he stepped into his room, he sensed that something was missing.
He scanned around the room, but the parcel was not there. Something else was missing too…
He swiftly walked toward the front of his desk and discovered that the photo frame on his desk was gone. The photo frame had been there for a very long time, untouched by anyone. No one would ever touch the things in his room, even if was just a single string. Even if they touched it, they would have informed him afterward.
Where is the photo frame now? Why did it disappear?
Just as he was about to ask his housekeeper, he saw something that was thrown into the rubbish bin.
It was the photo frame. The frame was still there, but the glass was shattered and the photograph had disappeared.
He ambled over and squatted down to pick up the glass shards, one by one. Under the pieces of glass, he found that the photograph had been torn into countless pieces.
At that moment, the sight upon him made him realize something. The photograph was not the only thing that was torn apart, but his heart that had been silent for a long time was also shredded.
Although he had no memory of it, his feelings remained unfaltering and his spirit was unchanged.
His heart had not swayed as well.
He carefully picked up every piece of the photograph. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his fingertip as a drop of blood fell onto the picture. It also dyed his vision, painting his world in red.
Then, it shattered into a million pieces and became irreparably broken.
He did not feel any pain. Perhaps his heart was empty now, so he even lost his ability to feel pain.
He carefully wrapped up the pieces and put them into his drawer. He did not intend to reassemble them. After all, it could not return to its original state as the shred marks would remain.
When it was time to eat, Lu Yi took a long time to come out of his room.
Sun Yuhan picked up her chopsticks but she put them back down as she did not have any appetite. Then, she started spinning the sapphire ring on her finger as she smirked smugly with her red lips.
When Lu Yi came out, she was still sitting there, not eating anything. The food on the table had already turned cold.
Lu Yi sat down but when he looked up, a ray of light struck his eyes. Then, he stared fixedly at Sun Yuhan’s finger.
“Lu Yi, look!” Sun Yuhan shook her finger, trying to attract Lu Yi’s attention onto the ring on her finger. “How did you know I like this? Look, it fits perfectly on my finger, there’s no need to alter it.”
Lu Yi pursed his lips, lowered his head, and grabbed his chopsticks to eat. The food had turned cold, but he kept on eating slowly in a robotic manner. He was simply filling his hunger and fulfill his physiological needs. Truth be told, he could even taste the food he was eating.
Sun Yuhan had achieved her goals, so she was very ecstatic. Of course, her appetite returned slightly. Since Lu Yi was not complaining about the cold food, it would not be right for her to do so. So, she ate the food happily even though it was cold.
Next weekend, Lu Yi accompanied Sun Yuhan to the hospital to perform her routine check-up. If there were no other problems this time, she would be able to remove the cast on her leg. It was supposed to be removed last month, yet it was purposely delayed for another month.
He Yibin held Sun Yuhan’s X-ray film and observed it for some time. He then lowered his head and stared at Sun Yuhan. Her bones had recovered but they had signs of being hit before.
He then abruptly edged closer to Sun Yuhan, startling her. However, she remained silent and grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly.
“Miss Sun, even if you intended to self-harm, there’s no need to go this far, isn’t it?”
He Yibin smiled coldly and added, “I can understand if you decided to smash something for no reason. After all, sometimes our hands just itch to do something abnormal. You could have smashed the wall instead, why ruin your own leg?”
Sun Yuhan’s face darkened but it also became burningly hot.
Yes, it was true that she did not want her leg to recover so quickly. So what? It’s my leg. It’s no one else’s business. Even if she became crippled, it was her problem too.
“Don’t worry.” He Yibin stood up straight and put the film aside, saying, “I have no interest in other people’s business. The moment you walk out of this room, it’s not my concern even if you chopped off a leg.”
“However, if you decide to come again next time, please don’t look for me.”
When Lu Yi entered the room, He Yibin held up the film again. Meanwhile, Sun Yuhan tugged at her sleeves anxiously as her heartbeat started to increase rapidly.
“How is it? Can the cast be removed today?” Lu Yi asked He Yibin.
“Yes, it can.” He Yibin turned around and put down the film again. “We should remove it. If we keep it on, I’m afraid that her leg would eventually become useless.”
“What do you mean?” Lu Yi could tell that He Yibin’s words had another meaning to it.
“Nothing. If you keep the cast on for too long, it would damage the leg.” He Yibin glanced at Sun Yuhan but he could not see her face. Nevertheless, he could see that she was about to tear off her clothes with her hands. Even though he was a surgeon, it would be wise to remember that all doctors had a certain amount of psychological knowledge as well.
When a woman felt guilty, she would unconsciously grab onto something. Perhaps she wanted to feel secure or maybe, she simply wanted to calm herself down.
