"Feiyang, I heard that when people die, they become a star in the sky, is that true?"
Yun Feiyang turned his head, looking at her pale, thin face, but didn’t answer.
An Ruo blinked her eyes, pointing to a tiny star on the horizon, and asked him, "Do you think my baby could turn into such a small star?"
"An Ruo..." A trace of deep pain flashed in Yun Feiyang’s eyes, and he asked her with difficulty, "Are you still unwilling to tell me what happened back then?"
Three months earlier, An Ruo had called him, her voice hoarse as she asked if he was willing to help her.
Upon hearing her voice, he felt something was terribly wrong. Fearing something might happen to her, he immediately rushed to the place she mentioned.
At the deserted seashore, he found her.
Her long hair was disheveled, her face as white as paper, utterly bloodless.
She was tightly holding something in her arms, wrapped in clothes, which he couldn’t identify at first. Only later did he find out she had had a difficult delivery, and the child had died.
Realizing it was her recently deceased child, he was immensely shocked, his face also losing all color.
He asked her what exactly had happened, but she just looked at him with a vacant stare and told him she wanted to leave this place, to go somewhere where no one knew her.
She said she could only ask him for help. She mentioned that if he was unwilling to help her, she would have no choice but to end it all.
Her words were serious, not said in jest.
He knew that if he didn’t help her leave, she would indeed die.
So he used all his connections to arrange a fake ID and passport for her, and silently brought her to Country L. There, she fell severely ill, and it took a full month of treatment before her health began to improve.
Once her health improved, she developed psychological issues. She had nightmares every night, trembled and fainted from distress upon seeing children on TV. She became reclusive, always lost in her own thoughts, ignoring everyone.
She was so miserable; she lived in her own world, not wanting to be awake. Only in that way could she ease her suffering.
He found her an excellent psychologist, and after two months of therapy, her condition gradually improved. She began to talk to him and tried interacting with people. However, her discomfort upon seeing children showed little improvement.
He didn’t know what had happened initially, but he knew that Tang Yuchen was searching for her all over the world.
Yet she wanted no contact with anyone, nor did she want to hear any news about Tang Yuchen.
He remembered the first time he mentioned his name, she went crazy throwing things around and then grabbed her hair, screaming in agony.
Her reaction terrified him, and from then on, he never dared to mention Tang Yuchen in front of her, nor would he let her know any news about him.
Even though she said nothing, he understood that her pain was deeply tied to Tang Yuchen.
Did he cause the death of her unborn child?
But why was Tang Yuchen looking everywhere for her? From the information he had received, that man seemed to care deeply about her, to love her.
He seemingly didn’t know about An Ruo’s difficult childbirth, nor did he understand why An Ruo had disappeared.
Yun Feiyang was very confused, he thought, there must be some misunderstanding between them.
He had asked An Ruo several times what had happened back then, but each time she chose silence, refusing to speak.
He wouldn’t press her if she didn’t want to talk, and of course, he wouldn’t ask Tang Yuchen either.
