Not having the time to explain more to Ji Ziming, she left the two children to him and asked him to look after them before rushing to the hospital.
Along the way, she thought of many things in her chaotic mind.
She thought of the pros and cons of the situation, and what should have been and what should not have been, yet she realized eventually that no one had done anything wrong, but at the same time… everyone was in the wrong.
In the end, she reached the hospital with her mind in disarray.
After alighting from the car, she sprinted to Tang Xiaoyu’s ward.
Bang!
Pushing open the door, she spotted many people standing within.
Among them, the Tang couple did not seem well at all as anguish-filled streaks of tears ran down their cheeks.
“Uncle… auntie…”
She quickly walked over and carefully asked in a trembling voice, “Xia-Xiaoyu—”
Is she… all right?
Before she could finish speaking, her best friend’s mother wiped the tears on her face and looked at her with red eyes.
“What’s going on?! Why is her child gone, and why did she commit suicide?!”
Faced with their interrogation, she was lost on how to reply and fell silent.
What could she say?
“Dear, Ge Ge has also just returned. What can she know? Don’t get so agitated…”
Mister Tang hugged his wife and gently consoled her before facing Pei Ge.
“Don’t mind this. Your auntie is just too agitated.”
“I know, uncle.”
He helplessly sighed. “This lass of ours, what made her suddenly take things so hard and…” He trailed off as his voice started shaking as well.
Whenever he recalled the blood gushing out of his daughter’s cut wrist and dying the bed sheet, his heart would be unable to calm down and stop quaking.
He did not describe how his daughter had committed suicide but just tugged on his lips. “Fortunately, the doctor found her just in time and nothing happened to her, but I will have to trouble you to accompany her over the following days…”
“Rest assured, uncle. I’ll properly accompany her…”
She could already guess how horrifying the scene had been without him describing it.
She was Tang Xiaoyu’s best friend, so she of course understood her personality…
However, she had not expected her to reach a point of committing suicide…
Seeing how haggard and fatigue the old couple looked, she had them return to rest for now and promised to take care of her best friend.
She had finally succeeded after a long time, and just as they were about to leave, at this moment when her best friend’s mother reached the door, she complained in a choked voice, “Zhengrong is our daughter’s fiancé, so what’s more important than her in his eyes…”
The voice, which slowly grew softer as they walked away, made her reveal a furious yet self-blaming look.
That guy, he actually hasn’t shown up here even now! Xiaoyu, doing so much for him, is it worth it?
As she thought of this, she laid her eyes on her best friend who was lying on the bed.
“Is it worth it? It’s not worth it at all…”
