Chapter 64 - His Heart Skipped A Beat (1/2)
”The last time when we came to the temple, I had noticed this area. After searching about this slum locality on my phone, I got to know how underdeveloped this place is. Further research concluded that nearly one hundred and thirty women have died in the past few years because of health issues and hygiene-related problems. I could not do anything for them right now so I distributed all the sanitary napkins amongst them.”
She did not expect the population here to be so high that all those packs fell short. She later used Shi Luo's gold card to buy more packs and distribute amongst all those women and girls who never knew that such things even existed.
As she stepped on the accelerator, she thought back to the expressions of worship that they had in their eyes for such a small thing she did for them.
''I never expected you to do something like this,” He glanced at her side profile with a complicated light in his eyes, ''You have always been disgusted with the servants.”
She glanced at his face from the corner of her eyes, his expressions were unreadable.
An old memory played itself in her mind.
When he came back to Ren Mansion for the second time after their marriage, he encountered her harassing an old servant working in the mansion. The previous owner's extreme disgust towards that old lady was genuine at that time.
”Maybe a near-death experience changed my views. I find myself looking at things more clearly,” She paused for a moment to observe him but he remained expressionless as ever.
”I did not know how to cherish the things and people I had so I lost them,” If she stayed under the protective shield that her brother made for her, or if she had taken some protective measures while going out that day then maybe she would not have died.
Whatever happens, it happens for a reason so she did not regret anything. She just regretted not cherishing the things she had.
Jun Zixuan slightly narrowed his eyes. He could see that sad look on her face again and it somehow made him uncomfortable.
Yu Mei sighed, ”But when I saw those kids struggling for a loaf of bread, I realized life is not that unfair to me after all. The women were using old clothes during their period. They don't have medicines, no comfort of brown sugar, they have to go through all that raw pain. Those men were doing odd works to feed their family… I… might not be able to do anything for them right now, but one day, I will change their fates.”
She kept her gaze on the road, not knowing how his heart skipped a beat because of the determined stubborn intent in her dark eyes.
Suddenly, he found himself looking at a completely different side of her.
….
After going back to the resort, Yu Mei took a shower first and changed into a comfortable loose-fitted dress.
When Jun Zixuan was taking a shower, she left a note for him in the suite before going for a walk on the beach.
