She laughed wildly. She laughed at my weakness, laughed at my sadness. She said she would make my life ten times worse, even a hundred times worse.

I saw my father’s cold body, and my mother, covered in blood and with resentful eyes appear in front of me. What I saw made me cry out in panic and fear.

“Yufei, wake up!” Su Chengzhao’s voice rang through my ears. I tried to open my tired eyes and saw a strange room.

That was just a dream.

“Yufei, why are you keeping this from me?” His choked voice was filled with reluctance and sorrow. The next moment, I was tightly held in Su’s arms, as if I would disappear any time.

The case on the bed came into my sight, and I sighed in my heart. It seemed that he had already found out about it.

Su Chengzhao released me and gently touched my cheek. “I am going to take you away from here, Yufei. I don’t want you to bear any more pain that doesn’t belong to you.”

The man in front of me made my heart break again. I pushed him away and curled myself up as I implored him, “Do I really have the right to leave?”

No, there was nothing.

I closed my eyes, and said icily, “I am tired; please leave me alone.”

Su Chengzhao just looked at me, his eyes full of regret and disappointment.

After a while, he stumbled and said, ”OK, I’ll go now.”

Su Chengzhao left with heavy steps and crushed heart. Just as he opened the door, I begged him, “Chengzhao, please keep it a secret. Don’t tell anyone about my cervical cancer!”

He stood by the door with his hand clenched on the handle. I could feel his pain and helplessness through his back.

He nodded and left.

The cold silence in the ward made me burst into tears.

Yes, I was suffering from cervical cancer. The last abortion had triggered the hidden illness in my body.

I didn’t know how long I would live if I didn’t care about my illness or how much longer I would be punished by Qin Mochen.

The day was just dawning when my phone rang. It was a call from Qin.

I rejected his calls several times until a text message popped up, “Mo Yufei, if you want your parents to be ghosts, so be it.”

My heart trembled and I held my phone tightly.

Why wouldn’t Qin Mochen let me go?

I was ready to pack up and leave. However, Su Chengzhao was worried about me, so he insisted on sending me to Qin Mochen’s villa.

Just as I was about to get off, he took my hand and said firmly, “Yufei, I will not interfere with what you want to do, but you must pay more attention to your health. Promise me. OK?”

He looked at me with pity, just waiting for my answer.

I knew this man was really good to me. Perhaps he was the only one who cared about me in this world.

I nodded and got out of the car.

I stood there motionless, watching his car go away. The cold wind blew on my body, but it was not as cold as my heart.

“What’s the matter? Don’t want to him to leave?” A cold, sarcastic voice came from behind me, and then my whole body was turned around by a force.

I looked at Qin Mochen’s sudden appearance, his face tense and his eyes full of anger, and sneered, “So what? It is none of your business.”

His face darkened and his hand clenched my chin. The pain rolled in at this moment.

He ignored my pain and said coolly near my ear, “Believe it or not, I am gonna make Su Chengzhao disappear from Liang City forever.”
