Shen Yi was startled, his heart quickly sinking, his expression subtly changing. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he spoke in a raspy voice, "What did you say?"
"I asked you before, how you and Zhouzhou were getting along afterward, but you didn’t tell me the truth," Ye Wanwan sniffled, her voice tinged with sobs.
Shen Yi didn’t speak, holding Ye Wanwan, but his movements had become somewhat stiff. What did she mean by her words?
Ye Wanwan pushed Shen Yi away, her eyes red as she looked at Zhouzhou and said word by word, "I know how Zhouzhou died in his past life."
After she finished this sentence, tears once again welled up in Ye Wanwan’s eyes.
Ever since she fell unconscious that New Year’s Eve, when she woke up again, she had remembered everything.
She knew how much Zhouzhou had suffered in his past life, and she knew how Zhouzhou had died in the end!
At that moment, her guilt towards Zhouzhou had peaked, and she felt she could never make up for the harm she had once caused Zhouzhou in this lifetime.
Shen Yi was unsettled, knowing the guilt Ye Wanwan felt towards Zhouzhou, which was why he had not told her the truth in the first place.
Anyway, everything had already started anew, let the past life stay in the past.
But he had not expected that Ye Wanwan would come to know, that she would find out how Zhouzhou died!
With this thought, Shen Yi felt as if all the inexplicable matters were suddenly making sense at this very moment.
Zhouzhou had died by suicide in his past life!
Thinking of this, Shen Yi was seized by an infinite panic. He reached out to embrace Ye Wanwan, then said soothingly in a soft voice, "Wanwan, what happened in our past life is over, we have already started a new life."
"Look at us now, our family of three is together and well, mom and dad are alive and well, and we will only get better from here on."
"Wanwan, please don’t let what happened in our past life affect you anymore, okay?" Shen Yi knew that everything from their past life was not easily forgotten for himself and Ye Wanwan.
But it was all in the past, they had a new beginning, they should not always be affected by the past life!
Ye Wanwan didn’t know how to answer this question. She knew she shouldn’t be affected by the past life, but knowing that was one thing, and not being influenced by it was another matter entirely.
Especially after learning that Zhouzhou had committed suicide due to an emotional breakdown, she really couldn’t help but be affected!
As soon as Zhouzhou was born, she left him in the care of a nanny, as if she had never had a child.
When Zhouzhou got a bit older, he was still left in the care of household staff, and although they lived under the same roof, it was as if she had barely spoken a few words to Zhouzhou.
Later, when Zhouzhou grew up, she began to control everything about him under the banner of "love," wanting Zhouzhou to be her puppet.
By the time she finally came to her senses, it was already too late. She thought her quiet departure would be a relief for everyone.
Yet she hadn’t expected it to set Zhouzhou on a path of no return.
Zhouzhou was her child. In her past life, she had never truly loved Zhouzhou, yet Zhouzhou died because of her—how could Ye Wanwan let that go?
Ye Wanwan had stopped crying at this moment, and after a long, long time, she asked Shen Yi in a hoarse voice, "Shen Yi, do you think I’m sick again?"
