Shen Qianshu was in a deep sleep for a whole two days. When she woke up, she was in a state of loss. It seemed like she had forgotten about what had happened, but when she saw Zhong Ran’s haggard face, she suddenly remembered everything.
Ye Ling was dead.
He was burnt to death alive.
He became a charred corpse.
Tong Hua was keeping a lookout by her side. He held her hand slightly and said softly, “Mommy, don’t scare me. I only have you, mommy.”
Shen Qianshu’s gaze was pained as she hugged Tong Hua tightly. She could not control her eyes from becoming red. “Darling, Mommy is fine. You don’t have to worry. Mommy also only has you.”
Tong Hua loosened his hold on her, trotted to the side, and brought over a flask of brown-colored water. It was still warm as if someone had been making it warm, waiting for her to wake up so she could drink it. Shen Qianshu took a sip. There was the taste of pears and peppermint. It was light and was very good for the throat. She suddenly recalled that she had seemed to cough out blood before she lost consciousness. Now, her throat was also a little uncomfortable. After she drank a few mouthfuls, she felt better. Shen Qianshu’s gaze was warm. Zhong Ran, who was at the side, was particularly haggard. His eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed like he did not sleep well. He looked like he had a lot on his mind. Ah Da was also at the side. Their hearts were very heavy.
“Has the corpse been identified? Is the DNA confirmed?”
Zhong Ran said, “Confirmed. It is Young Master!”
There was dead silence.
Nobody spoke in the ward. It was quiet as if any sound made would disturb something. Shen Qianshu’s face was ghastly pale. She felt that she was like someone who was going against the water, and she believed that she had prepared to capsize at any moment. She tried her best to live happily every day and hoped that she could bring happiness to Tong Hua and Ye Ling. This was because she knew that Ye Ling had a split personality. He was mentally anguished and definitely would not have a long life. Since she adopted Tong Hua, she had also prepared for Tong Hua to pass away anytime. The heart transplant could cause problems anytime. The doctor had also ascertained that Tong Hua would not live beyond 10 years of age. He could not become an adult.
The two most important men in her lifetime were fated not to keep her company for a long time.
But what could she do?
Except for bringing them happiness every day, what could she do?
She could accept Ye Ling and Tong Hua dying in her arms peacefully and leaving without regrets, but she just could not accept Ye Ling suddenly leaving like that. He did not even say farewell.
Master, I don’t believe this!
You didn’t say a word of farewell and left like that. I don’t believe this!
I don’t believe this at all!
Zhong Ran said, “Miss Shen, if you want to cry, just cry.”
“I am not crying!” Shen Qianshu’s gaze was crystal clear. “I will not cry.”
Shen Qianshu was overly depressed at that moment, but her body did not feel uncomfortable anywhere. She looked at Zhong Ran calmly. “Who killed him?”
“… ” Zhong Ran did not know how to reply to her at that moment.
“Miss Shen, what do you want to do?”
“Take revenge!” Shen Qianshu’s words were resonating. “If I were killed, Master would exhaust his life and seek justice for me. He had been killed. I will also exhaust my life to seek justice for him.”
She wanted to exchange a life for a life!
She wanted the life of the person who killed him.
Zhong Ran shook his head lightly. “Miss Shen, if Master were alive, he definitely would not hope that you seek revenge. He hoped the most that Little Master and you would stay far away from all these disputes and live safely.”
“It’s too late.” Shen Qianshu’s gaze was indifferent, and she had an unwavering calmness. “After the reunion, I can never retreat again. Zhong Ran, tell me who killed him. If you don’t tell me, I will go and look for people in Ghost City.”
