'I am letting you go.'
The words rang in Tian Yuan's ears for a long time. For those few moments, he couldn't believe that Liu Ji Fan really said these words.
It was difficult to believe but not when he saw Liu Ji Fan's red eyes. They were filled with tears.
It was only for a second that Tian Yuan could look into them because soon Liu Ji Fan turned his head away.
He was crying.
Tian Yuan couldn't remember the last time he had seen Liu Ji Fan crying like this. His own eyes started to fill with tears and his chin trembled slightly …especially when he heard Liu Ji Fan's next words.
"You can leave with Auntie in my helicopter. It will take me two days but I will arrange everything."
As if afraid that Tian Yuan would refuse, he continued a little firmly this time.
"You will have to leave according to my arrangements only. Rest assure… I will… never show you my face again."
After finishing his words, Liu Ji Fan didn't wait for Tian Yuan to say anything. He suddenly stood up from the hospital bed and left the room.
Lying on the hospital bed, Tian Yuan stared at the ceiling blankly.
It was a good thing that Liu Ji Fan was ready to let him go. However, he didn't feel happy at all. He didn't have the right to feel wronged at this moment because he was the first person to give up on them.
So now when Liu Ji Fan had also given up, he didn't have any right to feel unhappy too.
He told himself.
However, the crazy heart inside his chest still hurt a lot as the painful words kept buzzing in his ears.
For some reason, he didn't want to leave yet but he had to.
Tear after tear rolled down from his eyes but he forced a smile on his lips and whispered
"I am happy that you will be free of me, Ji Fan."
He wished that Liu Ji Fan would find someone else to start a new life …someone who will not suffer whatever he had suffered.
And if he had to, then he wished for that person to be strong …strong enough to love Liu Ji Fan …not weak like him.

"No, Mom, where is Jiejie? I won't eat anything until I see Jiejie."
Inside the hospital room, Mo Chen was currently sitting on the hospital bed. His face was turned sideways as he avoided the spoon filled with porridge that his mother was trying to make him eat.
Lin Qianru sighed and put down the spoon in the bowl of the porridge.
Her face was strict as she told her son.
"Roulan is sleeping. I dare you to disturb her rest and I still have not taken your class for lying to me and making me sign that permission note for the forest trip."
Mo Chen immediately went silent at these words.
He saw how cold his mother looked and he immediately opened his mouth not before he said innocently.
"Mom, Chenchen is hungry."
Lin Qianru eyes narrowed as she could clearly see that her son was trying to sell cuteness. However, no matter how much she tried to resist, she still couldn't go hard on her son seeing his pale face that was slightly swollen.
As she forwarded the spoon to her son's lips and he ate the simple porridge with relish, Lin Qianru's eyes started to fill with tears.
'Those bastards didn't even give a bread to her son to eat. How cruel Zhu family must be to do this to her son.'
Lin Qianru has never cursed anyone in her life but she did it today because she was feeling very angry and sad.
Xun Weilan has woken up and she was now suffering from a huge trauma when she came to know that Zhu Jidong has died.
Lin Qianru didn't go to meet her. It was the police inspector who had come to talk to Mo Chen who told her everything.
The inspector told her that Xun Weiilan had wanted to see Zhu Jidong for one last time. By using this desperate wish of hers, they made her reveal everything she had planned with her husband.
He even let her hear the tape where Xun Weilan accepted how they had made three different plans to take away Mo Chen.
The first plan was to get close with Mo family and then one day take Mo Chen out with their family with Mo family's permission. They would have taken away Mo Chen with them but made it look like in front of Mo family as if Mo Chen was lost.
The second plan was the temptation of money …however Mo Roulan's refusal to accept money put a full stop to their second plan.
The third plan was to kidnap Mo Chen and after taking his heart … running away to some foreign country.
Lin Qianru blinked her eyes vigorously as she remembered everything but a tear slipped down from her eyes.
Mo Chen pretended as if he saw nothing when he saw that his mother was trying to hide. His fists were however clenched under the blanket.
A moment later, he heard a sniff from his mother's side and his own nose started to itch badly making his eyes fill with tears.
He didn't want to cry when his mother was already crying.
One thing that he had learned from all this, was that he was too weak. Mo Chen wanted to become like his sister now.
So strong and sensible. He had always tried to become like her however today he learned that his efforts were still less.
Because if he was sensible then he would not have lied to his mother and all of this would not have happened.
"I am sorry, Mom. I will face whatever punishment you will give me and I also promise that I will never lie to you, Mom."
Mo Chen said firmly.
When he saw that his mother's shoulders were still shaking slightly, a tear slid down from Mo Chen's tear-filled eyes and he whispered in a choking voice.
"Mom, please don't c…cry."
This was the scene Mo Roulan saw when she opened the door of the room.
