705 A Million Times for You 67 (1/2)

If they hadn't locked her up in the ancestral hall and had allowed her to abort the fetus, Ye Jiani probably would not have met with the mishap.

This was Heaven's way of punishing Mo Li for life.

It was an unforgettable punishment that would mar her for the rest of her life.

Staring at her parents, whose eyes were red and swollen, Mo Li said softly, ”Lie down on the bed and get some rest.”

”I'll accompany you, let your father rest.” Mrs. Mo was afraid that her daughter would do something foolish and thus refused to fall asleep no matter how tired she was.

Mr. Mo lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep despite the fatigue.

However, he tried to force himself to do so.

Mrs. Mo held onto Mo Li's hand and constantly tried to comfort and counsel her.

She did not want Mo Li to give up on life. After all, she was only thirty years old and could not afford to waste her life away.

No way…

——

An Xiaoning heard about the incident from Lin Mingxi only during breakfast the next morning.

However, she was not exactly surprised, although she took pity on Ye Jiani.

Since Gu Beicheng and Ye Xiaotian were close friends, An Xiaoning decided to go with Gu Beicheng to visit Mo Li in the hospital.

Lin Mingxi had to tend to matters at her fitness center and thus did not have the time to make a trip there.

An Xiaoning and Gu Beicheng headed to the hospital on their own.

As soon as they arrived at the VIP wards, they caught sight of Mr. and Mrs. Ye waiting outside the ward while Ye Xiaotian appeared shortly after, seemingly having been chased out.

The last time they met Ye Xiaotian was during the auction in D City.

After just days of not seeing each other, Gu Beicheng was shocked to see how haggard Ye Xiaotian had become. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had clearly just suffered a huge blow.

Gu Beicheng stepped forward and gave him a pat on his shoulder to comfort him while An Xiaoning entered the ward.

Mrs. Mo took the fruit basket from her hands. Upon the sight of An Xiaoning, Mo Li lost control of her emotions and began bawling loudly again.

”Xiaoning…”

”Take good care of your body and health. No one wanted this to happen,” An Xiaoning consoled her softly.

”Ms. An, could you please perform a ritual for Nini? She must be terrified… I'd like her to leave peacefully.”

”Alright, focus on recuperating for now. Once you've almost recovered, I'll perform a ritual for the child together with you.”

Mo Li nodded and said in between sobs, ”Thank you for coming to visit me.”

”One is bound to meet with troubles and obstacles in life. Life has its ups and downs. You've suffered enough hardship, and I wonder, have you started to see everything and thought through it carefully? Do you now know what you want?”

”If I still haven't got it figured out even until today, I would've lived my life in vain. When I first heard that Nini had passed away, I felt such a strong urge to kill myself and die together with her because I felt that I would be better off dead. After thinking through it for an entire night, I realized that I can't do that because I still have my parents with me and I've yet to repay them for raising me. I can't leave before them. No matter what, I must live on well. I must give myself hope even if I've lost all of it,” said Mo Li, keeping her eyes fixed on An Xiaoning.

An Xiaoning bent forward and gave her a tight hug.

The weak woman who could not retaliate against Ye Xiaotian must have seen everything clearly now that she had already brought herself this far.

An Xiaoning was rather heartened.

It was never too late to realize what was best for oneself.

”Hope you'll get better soon,” said Gu Beicheng.

”Thank you.”
