With all her might, she lifted her mother up. Dragging her tired body, she walked toward the hospital step-by-step.

The road was congested due to the accident.

However, it was after only a few steps when a pair of delicate leather shoes appeared right in front of her.

She looked up and saw that perfect handsome face as if it was carved by God!

The man’s face was cold without even a bit of warmth and he stood there looking at the woman in front of him.

The sudden sight of Shi Yuting made Zuo Weiyi stop. Her face was drenched with tears.

There was an inner voice within her as if urging her. She looked at the man in front of her and with a choking voice, she pleaded, “Please help me…”

Looking at the tears on her face, Shi Yuting remained stoic but within the next second, he called out in his deep and magnetic voice, “Xiangyi.”

“Yes, Mr. Shi?”

“Send them to the hospital in three minutes.”

Xiangyi was slightly stunned. “Yes!” he answered.

Xiangyi took Zuo Qing from Zuo Weiyi’s back and carried her into the Rolls-Royce. Zuo Weiyi quickly followed.

In three minutes, not a minute early and not a minute late, Zuo Qing was sent into the emergency room!

At the door, Zuo Weiyi was like a body without a soul. Standing in the corridor, her eyes were empty.

After an hour of rescue, the emergency room door opened.

Zuo Weiyi and Bei Xingchen went up to the doctor and before they could ask about her mother’s conditions, they saw Zuo Qing being wheeled out of the emergency room.

Her body was covered with a piece of white cloth!

Boom! Her mind exploded like a bolt out of the blue!

Stunned, she looked at her mother and understood clearly what the white cloth covering meant!

“I’m sorry, we tried our best,” the doctor said apologetically as he removed his mask. He then left.

Zuo Weiyi was terrified. She stood right where she was. Suddenly, she was short of breath and the world went black. She swayed and fell.

“Weiyi!”

Bei Xingchen, who was by her side, caught hold of her.

The night was dim and it was dark outside the window. Zuo Weiyi’s heart was swallowed by the darkness, throwing her into a bottomless abyss bit by bit, just like the darkness outside.

On the bed in the VIP ward, Zuo Weiyi slowly opened her eyes and was welcomed by the sight of a white ceiling.

She looked sluggish, just like a walking corpse.

The memory of her childhood swarmed into her mind.

For twenty-one years, she had no father. The only person who had loved her and accompanied her was her mother, Zuo Qing.

Three days had passed but Zuo Weiyi refused to drink even a drop of water. The doctor in charge had no choice but to put her on an intravenous drip.

However, on the fourth day, when the nurse entered the ward during breakfast, she discovered that Zuo Weiyi had disappeared!

***

After returning from the hospital, Zuo Weiyi brought her mother’s body home and arranged her funeral.

Then, she locked herself in the condominium and did not go out for the entire three days and two nights.

When night came, Zuo Weiyi curled herself up. She did not want to get up to switch the lights on but instead, she stared at the floor blankly.

“Weiyi, I know you’re inside. Could you please open the door?” Her good friend, Bei Xingchen, kept knocking on the door. It had been three days and she was unsure if Zuo Weiyi was still alive.

It was getting dark outside and the house remained dark.

In the house, Zuo Weiyi couldn’t hear the sound of the knocking on the door and did not respond to the knocking.
