Chapter 702 - Pain (2/2)

Mu Sihan s.n.a.t.c.hed up the ring.

Memories flooded into his mind.

Before going to Yukou border, he had proposed to her and given her this ring.

The style, workmans.h.i.+p and the diamond embedded inside, was clearly the ring he had given her.

That night, she had looked at him brightly with a brilliant smile. “I won’t wear it until you come back and propose to me.”

But when he had come back, too many things had happened.

He had become indifferent to feelings after removing the parasite, and drifted away from her.

But she had still stayed by his side.

Silently bearing with his coldness and indifference.

He knew she felt wronged and upset, but he was so focused on his work he had never thought of taking the time out to be with her.

When he knew that it was the aftereffects of removing the parasite, he wanted to make up for it, but now… all that was left of her was the charred remains of her corpse, burnt so badly he could no longer even recognize her.

A strained hand moved towards what was left of her face. He could no longer see her beautiful eyes filled with so much life, her flawless face as she flushed a deep pink, her soft lips when she smiled, her many expressions…

Mu Sihan dared not look anymore. He covered the cloth back with trembling fingers, as if the body lying there was not Nan Zhi if he did not look.

“When the car rolled down the hill, Miss Nan was stuck under the seat. Princess Lucy was probably in a better position and climbed out from the window, but her legs were injured and the car exploded very quickly. She has also lost her life. But she was not as burnt as Miss Nan, at least her face was still visible.”

Mu Sihan’s hands clenched into fists, his knuckles cracking and his expression was very dark. “Did you find out what caused the accident?”

The officer replied, “The brake of a truck went out of control and the driver also died after falling down the hill.”

…

When Yan Hua received the news and rushed to the mortuary, Mu Sihan was just coming out of the cold chamber.

Seeing the grieving Qiao family and the red-eyed Mu Sihan, Yan Hua was shocked and sucked in a cold breath.

No…

Bo Yan followed behind Yan Hua and when he saw her swaying, he wanted to hold her but she waved his hand away.

Yan Hua did not have the courage to enter the cold chamber. Her gaze landed on the handbag beside An Feng.

It was Zhizhi’s favorite bag.

Yan Hua’s heart wrenched in pain. She went up to An Feng, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and said hoa.r.s.ely, “Auntie, is it true? Zhizhi, she…”

An Feng’s lips trembled and clutched the bag in her arms, heartbroken and inconsolable. “When she was taken to Princess Lucy’s car, Princess Lucy’s bodyguard did not let her take her phone. These were all left in her car.”

The tears swimming in her eyes suddenly rushed out in a stream of unending tears.

She did not understand why this had happened.

Things were finally starting to look up for Zhizhi. Why did such a terrible thing happen?

Why had they taken her daughter away from her so suddenly?

…

It did not take long for Ye Yanfeng to know why Mu Sihan had left in such a hurry.

Nan Zhi and Lucy had both died at the same time.

This was really unbelievable.

The a.s.sistant looked at Ye Yanfeng’s unreadable expression and said cautiously, “Your Highness, I heard that the Fourth Prince has been very depressed because of this incident! Although the Queen confirmed that he will be the Crown Prince during the meeting this morning, it is still not announced to the public yet. I think you still have a chance to…”

Ye Yanfeng waved a dismissive hand to interrupt his a.s.sistant, his eyes looking into the distance gloomily. “I’ve applied to the Queen to go to Yukou border for an inspection for a month.”
