Chapter 25 (2/2)

Stunned, she looked at her mother and understood clearly what the white cloth covering meant!

“I’m sorry, we tried our best,” the doctor said apologetically as he removed his mask. He then left.

Zuo Weiyi was terrified. She stood right where she was. Suddenly, she was short of breath and the world went black. She swayed and fell.

“Weiyi!”

Bei Xingchen, who was by her side, caught hold of her.

The night was dim and it was dark outside the window. Zuo Weiyi’s heart was swallowed by the darkness, throwing her into a bottomless abyss bit by bit, just like the darkness outside.

On the bed in the VIP ward, Zuo Weiyi slowly opened her eyes and was welcomed by the sight of a white ceiling.

She looked sluggish, just like a walking corpse.

The memory of her childhood swarmed into her mind.

For twenty-one years, she had no father. The only person who had loved her and accompanied her was her mother, Zuo Qing.

Three days had passed but Zuo Weiyi refused to drink even a drop of water. The doctor in charge had no choice but to put her on an intravenous drip.

However, on the fourth day, when the nurse entered the ward during breakfast, she discovered that Zuo Weiyi had disappeared!

***

After returning from the hospital, Zuo Weiyi brought her mother’s body home and arranged her funeral.

Then, she locked herself in the condominium and did not go out for the entire three days and two nights.

When night came, Zuo Weiyi curled herself up. She did not want to get up to switch the lights on but instead, she stared at the floor blankly.

“Weiyi, I know you’re inside. Could you please open the door?” Her good friend, Bei Xingchen, kept knocking on the door. It had been three days and she was unsure if Zuo Weiyi was still alive.

It was getting dark outside and the house remained dark.

In the house, Zuo Weiyi couldn’t hear the sound of the knocking on the door and did not respond to the knocking.
