No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Lin’s mother could see her daughter’s feelings for Xiao Ou and was also aware of her hatred towards Leng Yixiu. Her daughter had always been clear about love and hate. She once loved Leng Yixiu with all she had, only to be completely shattered by him. Now, she was completely heartbroken and would never voluntarily return to him. However, in the end, she broke up with Xiao Ou and returned to that man, even taking on the most disgraceful role. There was only one answer. It was because of her, because of her illness! Lin’s mother lowered her eyes in pain. It was her fault, all because of her. If it weren’t for her, her daughter wouldn’t have endured so much suffering all these years, nor would she have had to be humiliated by Leng Yixiu! She lived in this world wanting to make her daughter’s life better, but instead, she became a burden to her. So, what was the use of holding on to this life?! Lin Yixun planned to get up early to handle her mother’s discharge procedures, but she ended up waking up late, all because of Leng Yixiu! Last night, for some unknown reason, Leng Yixiu seemed to have gone mad, tormenting her endlessly. She thought she could just lie still and endure, but he didn’t stop until nearly dawn. As she left the house, to prevent her mother from noticing anything amiss, Lin Yixun wrapped a scarf around her neck, covering the marks completely before feeling safe to leave. The marks on her body were hidden under her clothes, but the soreness constantly reminded her of everything that had happened last night. She sighed helplessly, wondering when this damaged body of hers would finally make Leng Yixiu grow tired of her. Sitting in the back seat of the car, Lin Yixun rolled down the window and looked out at the clear blue sky, taking a deep breath and trying to shake off her negative emotions. Today was her mother’s discharge day. Soon, her father would also be out of prison. No matter how difficult life became, as long as they were by her side, things would slowly get better. Once Leng Yixiu grew tired of her, her life would get back on track. Even if she couldn’t live as comfortably as before and had no love, she could still go on. But when Lin Yixun arrived at Shengde, she found her world torn apart. Since Shengde was a private hospital with high fees, it wasn’t as crowded as a typical public hospital. As she approached the entrance of Shengde Hospital, she saw a crowd gathered outside the inpatient building from afar. Lin Yixun was puzzled. What were all these people doing early in the morning at the inpatient building? As she walked closer, she found the crowd tightly packed, as if they were watching something exciting. She was busy with her mother’s discharge and wasn’t planning to find out what was happening. Besides, she wasn’t the type to watch the commotion. But just when she was about to turn away, she overheard a conversation between two strangers. "Hey, what could have driven her to jump off the building?" "Yeah, I heard it was a patient on the 12th floor. She just had a kidney transplant and was recovering well, almost ready to be discharged. Who would have thought she’d suddenly end her life?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yixun’s footsteps halted abruptly. Her mother was on that floor! She turned and grabbed a stranger’s arm. "You’re saying the person who jumped was a patient from the 12th floor?" "Yes, it’s terrible. Brain matter everywhere. I heard she had a young daughter. If her daughter saw her like that, I wonder if she could handle it." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel⦿fire.net Hearing this, an ominous feeling filled Lin Yixun’s heart. She slowly let go and walked briskly towards the densest part of the crowd. "Excuse me, please let me through!" "Please, let me through!" "I’m sorry, please allow me to pass!" Weaving through the crowd, she finally reached the innermost circle. From a few meters away, she saw a woman in a hospital gown lying lifelessly on the ground, with a large pool of bright red blood beneath her. The woman’s face wasn’t facing her, so she couldn’t see her features clearly, but the hair and body shape were strikingly similar to her mother’s. Lin Yixun’s fingers trembled, and her legs felt heavy as lead, unable to move. Thousands of voices screamed in her head. No, it couldn’t be her! After what felt like an eternity, she finally mustered the courage to step forward, slowly moving towards the woman. But in the next moment, she stopped as if struck by lightning. She stared fixedly at the exposed neck of the woman. On that fair neck, there was a brown mole. She recognized that mole; she saw it every time she washed her mother’s hair. Her mother had once joked, saying that a fortune teller claimed the mole was a sign of prosperity. Stumbling forward, Lin Yixun kept reassuring herself in her heart that there were plenty of women with such moles. The woman on the ground might not be her mother. Yes, how could it be? When she came to Shengde yesterday, her mother was still smiling and talking. How could she have jumped off a building? The woman in front of her couldn’t be her mother! Gathering her courage, she approached the woman, but the moment she saw the woman’s face, her last glimmer of hope was shattered. She staggered back a few steps, tears streaming down her face. How could this happen?! How could it be?! Why did things turn out this way?! Yesterday, her mother was fine, even worrying that she was too thin and needed to gain weight. She planned to cook lots of good food for her once she was discharged. Who would have thought that everything would change overnight?! When the hospital called, Leng Yixiu was in the middle of discussing a new city development project with an important client. Upon hearing of Lin’s mother’s suicide, the normally composed Leng Yixiu sprang up from the sofa. Ending the call, he abruptly halted the meeting and rushed to Shengde. When he arrived, the scene was already cordoned off. Through the police tape, he saw Lin Yixun’s thin figure. She sat in the pool of blood in despair, tightly holding her deceased mother. Leng Yixiu quickly approached and saw Old He waiting anxiously by the police lines. Seeing Leng Yixiu, Old He hurried over, glancing helplessly at Lin Yixun nearby. "Sir, no matter how we tried to persuade her, Miss Lin wouldn’t leave. She’s been for an hour. Sir, would you please try to talk to her?"
