370 In Front of Her Once Again (2/2)

Stretching out her tiny hands to feel the clock on the coffee table, she ran her fingers over the clock hand. It was already seven o'clock at night, why hadn't Chenyi returned yet? Did something happen to him?

Tang Mo'er got up and she reached her arms out to feel the space in front of her, in case there were objects in front of her. She really didn't want to trip and fall again. However, she did all of it in vain as she still ended up falling on the carpet, right beside Gu Mohan.

Gu Mohan lowered his eyes to look at the girl who had fallen down beside him. The bottom of her dress had hitched up and revealed her knees and his eyes widened in shock.

Her fair knees were grazed and red all over, he could see that there were a number of injuries and the new flesh had pushed the scabs off. Still, it was… scary to look at. How had she gotten so injured?

Since she had tripped again, her clear eyes teared up in pain and she pouted her red lips pitifully. At this moment, she seemed so fragile, so helpless.

She supported herself with her hands on the carpet and struggled to get up.

”Chenyi.” She stumbled around and made her way outside.

Where was Chenyi?

Gu Mohan followed her from behind and the cold night breeze blew her loose dress with an easy grace that took his breath away. After parting for only two days, she had lost even more weight and her frail body was like a kite, it was like it would fly away when the wind blew.

The cold breeze entered the living room and blew the papers on the coffee table beside his feet. She had doodled a human portrait on the papers and it was too ugly and indistinguishable, she had labeled it, Mr Gu.

Mr Gu.

Her Mr Gu.

Gu Mohan's tall figure instantly stiffened and his long eyelashes drooped down. His thin lips had formed an indifferent arc.

Had she done all of that just because she lost her sight and could no longer see?

She had said that the reason for their breakup was simple, she was too tired, too exhausted to handle his family anymore. He had believed her words, believing her to be selfish and fickle, furious at her for abandoning him.

When in fact, she was afraid of becoming his burden.

Why hadn't he trusted in her?

The love pea poison had acted up in a faster and more insidious way than he had imagined, he slowly opened his eyes and they were completely reddened.

It was as though someone had torn his heart into two halves, it hurt so much. She had lost her vision, and she was here by herself, suffering alone. Hadn't her fears consumed her?
