Ye father and Ye mother had come to see the patient along with Shen father and Shen mother. Having lost Wanwan for a whole day and night, they had all stayed up just as long, and now they all looked utterly exhausted.
After confirming that Ye Wanwan was alright, they finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Not wanting to disturb Ye Wanwan, they left the hospital room after their visit.
In the corridor, Shen Yi spoke in a grave voice, "Dad, Mom, you all should go back and rest. I will take care of Wanwan here."
Shen Yun’an nodded and said, "Alright, you stay here and watch over her. Inform us immediately if anything happens."
Ye Zhenhua added, "You stay here with Wanwan. I’ll take care of the police station."
Ye Mingrui had already been arrested, but the situation was far from over; it was too serious for Ye Zhenhua to feel at ease unless he handled it personally.
"Okay," Shen Yi didn’t take on everything alone. With just himself to depend on, the most important thing now was to care for Wanwan; he couldn’t keep up with everything else.
Once the elders had left, Shen Yi then returned to the hospital room.
Shen Yi sat down by the bed and looked at Ye Wanwan, who was sleeping peacefully. Her complexion was pale, as though devoid of any life.
At this thought, Shen Yi felt difficulty breathing. A buzzing noise filled his head for a moment, and he saw the tombstone from his dream again.
On the tombstone was a photo of Ye Wanwan!
Shen Yi closed his eyes tightly, clenching his teeth in an effort to calm himself down.
She’s alright now! Wanwan is fine now! She won’t die!
It took a while before Shen Yi opened his eyes again, but even then, looking at Ye Wanwan on the hospital bed continued to make his heart ache. He really, truly, didn’t want to see Wanwan !
He hoped that Ye Wanwan would always be innocent and spirited.
But he hadn’t protected her.
At the police station.
No matter what the police asked, Ye Mingrui just kept crying, "I didn’t mean it, I just wanted money, they would have killed me if I didn’t get it!"
"I didn’t want to kill anyone! It wasn’t on purpose! It wasn’t intended!"
"Calm down!" a police officer shouted.
"I told you I only wanted money! If Ye Zhenhua had just given me the money easily, it wouldn’t have turned out ! It’s all Ye Zhenhua’s fault!" Ye Mingrui continued rambling as if he hadn’t heard what was said.
Right, it wasn’t his fault, it wasn’t related to him!
He didn’t mean to kill anyone, it was just an accident, just an accident!
"Calm down!" the police officer shouted again.
"I didn’t want to kill anyone, I really didn’t want to kill anyone!" In that moment, Ye Mingrui had none of the dignity that a grown man should have, sobbing and weeping over the small table.
By now, he was terrified out of his wits, completely lost in his own world. He had killed someone, he was now caught by the police, he was going to die too!
His life was over just like that!
In fact, with his words, he had indirectly admitted to being the one behind the corpse found in the villa.
One of the police officers elbowed their colleague, then reasoned with Ye Mingrui, "Since it wasn’t intentional, then you should be all the more willing to clarify what happened."
The police officer paused before continuing, "You should know how big a difference there is between manslaughter and murder."
Ye Mingrui’s cries paused momentarily, and he lifted his head to look at the two detectives sitting across from him.
