However, she realized that she had been so naive these few days. It seemed that she was not as strong as she imagined.
Zuo Weiyi’s tears could no longer be controlled and streamed down as she looked at Shen Lanzhi laying on the bed with eyes still closed.
Her voice trembled as she sobbed, “Mother… my heart hurts so much.”
She lowered her head. The loneliness and pain that had accumulated in her heart for the past few days suddenly erupted like a massive flood, engulfing her and causing her unbearable pain.
She placed her hands on her forehead as tears flowed down without restraint. Her shoulders trembled uncontrollably from the sobs.
The pain, self-blame, and guilt in her heart had been tormenting her these past few days. She thought that she would be able to endure it, but it was all just wishful thinking.
It was merely a one in 100,000 chance that such a miracle would never happen to Shen Lanzhi. But there was no such thing as a miracle in this world.
Tears streamed down her face like a fountain. Her defenses and pretenses fell, revealing the bruises and holes that had long riddled her body.
She sat beside Shen Lanzhi’s bed and wept helplessly. In this quiet morning, only her faint sobs could be heard in the desolate room.
The door of the ward suddenly opened.
Zuo Weiyi was immersed in her own thoughts and did not hear the sound of the door opening. She only lowered her head and continued to cry out in pain.
“Weiyi? ”
A familiar voice suddenly could be heard in the ward. Zuo Weiyi stopped crying and looked up towards the door. She saw Gu Yansheng who had suddenly appeared.
Seeing her tearful face, Gu Yansheng felt his heart ache.
He frowned and strode to the bedside. He crouched down beside her and looked at her face that had been ruined from crying.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Yansheng felt troubled when he saw her crying so sadly.
Zuo Weiyi looked up with tears in her eyes. She was surprised that he had suddenly appeared.
“You… how could you…” She struggled to speak as she was still sobbing.
Gu Yansheng seemed to know what she wanted to ask, so he answered directly, “I just came back from Z Country. I heard from Grandfather Zuo that you come here every morning to take care of Auntie Shen.”
Zuo Weiyi glanced at him and raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face.
“Did he do something to you?”
He had heard roughly from Zuo Yi about what had happened in the Shi family before rushing back.
He knew that she had lost her phone a long time ago, so he had come here directly to look for her. He did not expect to see her crying alone as soon as he entered.
As she looked at and listened to Gu Yansheng, the figures of Shi Yuting and that woman suddenly flashed across Zuo Weiyi’s mind again. Tears once again flowed down like a river, unable to stop.
She did not dare to think about where he had been living since e had not returned home for the past few days.
As she thought about it, her heart became even more uncomfortable, and her tears fell helplessly.
Judging by how much she was crying again, Gu Yansheng already knew the answer to his question. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists!
He reached out and pulled her toward him. Even though he was only crouching, he was only a head shorter than Zuo Weiyi who was sitting.
Gu Yansheng buried her head in his shoulder and hugged her tightly, as if he could not bear to let go.
“I’ll bring you back to Z country.”
The sudden words surprised Zuo Weiyi. Just as she was about to lift her face from his shoulder, the door opened again.
PS: Based on what’s happening so far, many of you may be thinking that the female lead will be leaving with Gu Yansheng. However… no spoilers!
