As the ringtone played for the second time, they still didn’t answer, until the third time, finally, Qin Ziyi reached out his hand.
Yet unavoidably, his hand began to tremble, and the tips of his fingers went numb.
His fear escalated.
“Hello...”
He put the phone to his ear, and upon hearing the voice on the line, his already pale face turned utterly ashen.
“Let your father answer the phone.”
The moment he heard the voice, Qin Ziyi knew who it was.
He handed the phone to his father with trembling hands.
...
Father Qin’s hand also shook momentarily before he put the phone to his ear.
“The Tong Family also thought about kidnapping that girl.
They succeeded, but look at what the Tong Family has become now?” The voice on the phone was almost devoid of emotion, simply stating a fact.
Every family has its hidden flaws and falls from grace just like the Tong Family, and now like the Qin Family.
A traditional Chinese medical family with a century of history, Tong Feng, known as the Saintly National Doctor, but now, he’s suffered a stroke.
He cured many people, but now there’s no cure for himself.
His granddaughter, once his pride and the hope of the future of the Tong Family, had her hands broken, legs damaged, and even the family business is falling apart.
“Your Qin Family is merely a third-rate clan and can’t compare to the Tong Family, yet you wish to do the same thing.”
“We are sorry, Elder Wang, we were wrong.”
Father Qin lowered his head, his hand by his side clutching his sleeve tightly.
Sometimes, he would even grasp chunks of flesh on his arm, causing pain not just in the skin but also in the flesh.
“The child is under the care of both our Wang Family and Gu Ning.
Put away your filthy thoughts and don’t disgust others.”
Old Master Wang sipped his wine, smiling although the atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive.
“This old man’s life is not yet at its end.
That old fool in your family did many evils.
If he can’t be cured, he can’t be cured.
Even kidnapping won’t make him better.”
His words were harsh and not only insulted but also hurt people.
But no matter how unpleasant his words were, those on the other end had to listen and bear it.
If you do something wrong, you must be punished; otherwise, where is the justice in this world?
If heaven doesn’t deliver justice, human beings will.
Tang Yuxin got up early to go to work, originally thinking she might still see the Qin family members who occasionally hovered around her.
Were they planning to nest here for a lifetime, or were they trying to outlast her, or did they believe that she would eventually save them one day?
Where did their confidence come from?
She made a round in the hospital.
No big events, no small incidents.
Why was the hospital so unusually calm today?
And until she got off work, she hadn’t seen anyone from the Qin family, which was indeed surprising and scientifically inexplicable.
Could it be that old Mr.
Qin’s Parkinson’s disease had prematurely made him senile?
ƝονǤօ.ƈᴑ
She patted her face, really feeling that she was overthinking.
Or had the Qin family been too persistent in front of her lately, so much so that she felt a bit masochistic for missing them after a single day without their presence?
However, as she was about to leave, a nurse ran over and handed her a letter.
She took out the letter which had nothing written on the envelope except her name, which confirmed to Tang Yuxin that it was indeed intended for her.
What’s inside?
She didn’t accept cash gifts.
She shook the envelope in her hand.
It didn’t feel like money.
It probably contained just a sheet of paper.
She opened the envelope, and indeed there was only one page inside.
By then, she had already left the hospital and went to a mall outside to buy a lollipop, deciding to be girlish once again.
She ate the lollipop while reading the letter.
She read every word and, after finishing, actually didn’t feel much of anything.
She then put the letter back into the envelope, put the lollipop back into her mouth, and tore the letter in half, then into quarters.
In the end, she tore it into small pieces and casually threw them into a trash bin.
She took the partly eaten lollipop out of her mouth and continued to walk and eat.
A sweet, fruity fragrance filled her mouth, and the cool breeze facing her seemed to carry the scent of fruit even through the strands of her hair.
Sweet.
The fragrance of fruit.
“Yuxin, I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you, for the hurt I’ve inflicted.
I’m really sorry and I truly wanted to make amends, but I know it’s impossible between us now.
