Wen Xinya secretly left the ward after coaxing the disobedient Old Mr. Mo.
Just as she was about to look for Si Yiyan, she caught sight of him speaking to a foreign man who seemed to be tall and healthy with defined features that made him look suave and handsome.
Although she was standing at a distance away, Wen Xinya could tell that the man treated Si Yiyan with due respect and it was likely that he worked for him.
Wen Xinya was dumbfounded!
Deep down, she was filled with a complicated mix of emotions and thoughts which distracted her!
She was too familiar with this man!
Henry!
In her previous lifetime, Henry was the one who appeared out of the blue when she was at the most helpless and hopeless point of her life. He was the one who accompanied her throughout the worst seven years of her life!
He was different from Xu Zhenyu, who guarded her and stayed by her side. This man… was bent on saving her.
In her previous lifetime, she was grief-stricken after Old Mr. Mo’s death and subsequently chose to give up on herself out of guilt, regret, agony, misery, and hopelessness. That was also when she began to develop a drug addiction and Henry showed up beside her when she was at her most hopeless point. He claimed that he wanted to save her and help her.
However, she was left with nothing then because of Old Mr. Mo’s death and the cruelty of the Wen Family and Chu Jingnan, who abandoned her. She did not need any rescuing and she just wanted to continue living a pathetic and ruined life.
However, Henry did not choose to give up on her and instead stayed by her side and helped her kick her drug addiction.
However, her addiction was far too severe and her willpower was too weak. Hence, she could not push through it at all. Besides, Xu Zhenyu had been giving in to her and even racked his brains to try and get some drugs for her, thus ruining her willpower.
Henry was absolutely disappointed in her, but he chose to stay by her side.
Four years later, Xu Zhenyu was put behind bars for possessing and consuming drugs. It was only then that she decided to kick her addiction.
For three consecutive years, Henry stayed by her side, counseled her, supported her and encouraged her, thus helping her control her drug addiction and giving her a new lease on life. She was thrilled, euphoric and overjoyed for she felt that she had found redemption. It was as if life had become better too.
Henry said, “You’re the most beautiful and determined girl I’ve ever met!”
Henry said, “You’ll definitely attain happiness!”
Henry said, “May God watch over you and make you beautiful and healthy!”
However, she accidentally fell into Ning Shuqian’s and Xia Ruya’s trap and allowed them to film an unsightly video of her, which caused her reputation to be ruined. She was even forcefully injected with concentrated drugs which caused her to suffer a fatal cardiac arrest!
She reckoned that she had still let Henry down in the end, for she failed to kick her addiction for good.
Xu Zhenyu was the one whom she felt guilty towards, while Henry was the one whom she was most grateful for in her previous lifetime. For seven whole years, Henry had done just as much for her as Xu Zhenyu did.
After her rebirth, she did consider looking for Henry. However, she realized that she knew nothing about him apart from his name.
At this moment, Wen Xinya was puzzled and perturbed to see Henry and Si Yiyan together.
She remembered that she was not too determined yet during the second year of Henry’s stint in her life. She once heard Henry calling someone and reporting to him about something when she was suffering a relapse.
Due to the fact that she had overcome the relapse and symptoms, she was beyond fatigued, both mentally and physically. She also knew then that Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya were out to harm her and she realized that she did not manage to kick her addiction even with Henry around. In fact, her addiction even got worse and she began to suspect that Henry had been sent by Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya to harm her further.
During then, she had a heated argument with Henry.
Later on, Henry said that Old Mr. Mo was the one who had sent him to help her and she began trusting him then.
“Xinya… Xinya…”
A clear and refined voice sounded in her ear.
Wen Xinya blinked as her blurry vision began to clear. Si Yiyan stood in front of her and tried to call her name. She subconsciously smiled at him and said, “I was just thinking about something and got distracted.”
Si Yiyan’s eyes turned a little gloomy as he stared at her peculiar smile that was bright like the sun and radiant like flowers. He even suspected that he had hallucinated the morose look on her face earlier on.
Wen Xinya subconsciously looked in the direction that Henry left in, before asking, “Who was that man? Do you guys know each other?”
Wen Xinya had already made some guesses when she saw Henry and Si Yiyan together just now. In fact, she was already certain.
Si Yiyan glanced at Henry and said with an austere smile, “His name is Henry. He’s a famous drug rehab expert. I’ve been supporting his researches about kicking drug addictions.”
The mention of Henry made an icy cold gaze form in Si Yiyan’s eyes.
He did not forget the complicated look of morose in Wen Xinya’s eyes when she was staring at Henry just now. There were far too many emotions in her gaze, but they seemed to have been deliberately locked away from him.
He realized that that gaze in her eyes made him feel an immense heartache and jealousy.
Wen Xinya expressed assent calmly, though she was filled with too many complicated emotions.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with Henry?” asked Si Yiyan, who did not miss the complicated look in her eyes which made it seem like she had understood something.
Wen Xinya subconsciously shook her head and said, “Nothing much. I just suddenly thought about something.”
Indeed, her guess was correct.
Henry was sent by Si Yiyan in her previous lifetime.
I should have realized this sooner. Si Yiyan is so respectful towards Grampy, who took him under his wing when he was at his most helpless point in life. After Grampy died, Si Yiyan would obviously take care of me since I’m Grampy’s granddaughter.
However, Si Yiyan must have been disappointed with the way I lived my life.
After giving it some thought, she realized that there were numerous clues to prove that Si Yiyan was the reason she survived in her previous lifetime. After Old Mr. Mo’s death, Ning Shuqian treated her like she was dead and she reckoned that Ning Shuqian must have already planned to kill her then.
However, she did not die and instead lived for seven more years.
