There were feathery clouds in the sky, hugging one cluster after another, and her heart was so layered that she couldn't breathe.

She knew that on a certain floor of the building behind her, Lu Meiqin was standing in front of the window looking down, a pretending calm but sinister gaze as if she wanted to pierce her from behind.

The woman who was once gentle and kind, gradually lost her nature in the whirlpool of hatred, and went crazy to the point of distortion and distortion. It turns out that hatred is not only hatred, not only pain, but also poison. Hatred devours people's hearts, extinguishes love, and walks with the devil.

She wondered if she would one day become like Lu Meiqin, who caused harm because she was hurt, and became evil because she encountered evil. However, in between this casual thinking, fate forced her to make a choice......

She received a phone call, which could also be said to be a bolt from the blue.

"Chiba...... ...... whew," Min Yuhua gasped heavily after calling her name, "Where is it?" ”

"In Lucheng, what's wrong Uncle Min, what's wrong?"

"You...... Come back. ”

"What's wrong?" She immediately became nervous and her breathing became short, "What's the condition with Mom?" ”

"Ah, I'm ......," Min Yuhua said hesitantly, and the sound of sweating could be heard over the phone, "I don't know what to say, let's come back first, I'll wait for you." ”

His vague and hesitant expression made the whole world croug the horror and despair, Chiba's heart stopped beating three beats, and he couldn't breathe in or out of his breath. She had a premonition of something, and delayed her encounter with silence.

"Hey, Chiba, are you listening?"

"Well, mom isn't good, right, I'll be back tomorrow."

"No, if you go to the station now, you should still be able to buy a ticket for the last train!"

Min Yuhua's last sentence sealed her worries. She didn't ask what the situation was, and her heart was already full of ice.

Hanging up the phone, she immediately rushed to the station and bought a ticket for the latest train to Lancheng that day.

Nervousness, anxiety, fear, confusion, nightmares over and over again for seventeen years, finally came into reality. It's like a drama that has been starring for a long time, and it can't escape the appearance of the villain near the end.

Along the way, she folded her hands and prayed silently, but the panic in her heart was still not soothed.

The next morning, when I finally set foot on the land of Lancheng, the familiar streets in the mist suddenly became unfamiliar, indicating that there would be a new change in fate.

Min Yuhua understood the shuttle bus schedule, waited at the door of the nursing home early, and the moment he saw her, old tears flowed.

"Chiba...... Ay! ”

Mature and steady, he let out a lament, and even the silver hair on his temples trembled slightly with his excited body.

"What's wrong with Mom?" Chiba asked coldly, as if only with this attitude could he resist the blow of the bad news to him.

Min Yuhua pressed her shoulders with both hands, afraid that she would lose control. But he also stayed up all night, and he really didn't know what tactful words he could use to make the blow more acceptable.

"Don't get excited, control your emotions first, the reason why I'm waiting outside is that I hope you can be mentally prepared. This day will come sooner or later, you and she have been in pain for so long, from now on, perhaps...... Maybe it's really liberating. ”

She understood it at once, but she still didn't give up.

"Is there something wrong with her again, and even the nutrient solution doesn't work? Or is it like last time, the bedsore infection and pus caused inflammation, and the whole person has a high fever? What did Dr. Shum say? If you should add medicine, she can bear it, and her mother is very strong. ”

Min Yuhua clenched her teeth and shook her head helplessly, and the hand on her shoulder slowly collapsed.

Time stood still for about five or six seconds. In these five or six seconds, she couldn't concentrate her consciousness and think rationally no matter what, but could only float in a white expanse, not up to the sky, not down to the ground.

"Chiba, the festival mourns ......"

With a bang, she pushed Min Yuhua away and ran towards the courtyard, and fell to the ground as soon as she entered the door.

Min Yuhua chased after her, and before she could help, she got up on her own and limped towards the ward.

The bed by the window in the ward, which had been her home for seventeen years, was now empty, except for the snow-white and clean sheets spread on it, without wrinkles, as if there was no past life and no present life.

The old man in the other two beds looked at her with cold and lonely eyes, and he did not seem surprised without sympathy.

"On the first floor of the annex building." Min Yuhua whispered while leaning on the door frame.

On the first floor of the annex building was the morgue of the sanatorium, which she had accidentally broken into at the age of sixteen, leaving a lingering shadow. Due to the limited conditions, the mortuary of the nursing home is not as good as the hospital, there is no freezer, only a refrigerator, and the indoor temperature is controlled at a low temperature. She felt like she had broken into a butcher's warehouse, and she didn't understand the meaning of a morgue until she saw a pair of stiff, dark feet peeking out from the front of an iron plate covered with a white cloth, and a name tag hanging from her toes that read a name that no longer belonged to this world.

"Ahh She fell to her knees, wailing on her back, and her heart-rending roar resounded throughout the building, leading Dr. Shum over.

The morgue door was in front, but she had lead in her legs and couldn't stand at all.

Min Yuhua wanted to step forward to persuade him, but was stopped by Dr. Cen and shook his head helplessly.

She crawled into the morgue on her knees. It was so cold inside, she couldn't help but shiver. She looked at the ceiling and the four corners with a visitor-like look, and thought it was so big. Mo Lianzhi's body was lying on the bed in the middle, the same as the one he saw when he was sixteen years old, with his feet exposed on a white cloth and a name tag.

She didn't know how long her mother had been here. An hour? Two hours? Or a day, or a day and a night? She only felt that it was the loneliest place in the world, and that it was cruel to leave her mother alone.

She walked towards Mo Lianzhi step by step with her knees, making a dull and desperate sound every time she touched the ground.

The white cloth was like a piece of wood, there was no movement at all, and she wished that there would be a trace of snort underneath, so that the white cloth could tremble slightly, so that there would be hope for life.

However, Mo Lianzhi's face froze forever, and he didn't look hideous, but calm and natural. After years of lying in bed, this beautiful woman has lost her brilliance, and there has been no pain or pleasure on her face. And at this moment, a faint smile appeared on her stiff face.

This imperceptible smile resisted the overwhelming pain, and Chiba thought that he would cry out for the sky and grab the ground, hit the wall and harm himself, but his heart was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

She hasn't come to her senses yet, and it can even be said that she hasn't entered the "state" yet. She didn't understand why the terrifying scene she had feared for seventeen years was really in front of her, and why it didn't crush her to pieces and trread it to pieces.

This is a sign of pain lag, and all the great sorrows and sufferings of life will only attack the person concerned after a period of time has passed.

"Mom, I'm back, are you tired from sleeping so soundly?" She stroked her mother's thinning and inelastic hair, and kissed the cold and rough forehead, "I'm sorry, I'm late, it's me who is not ......"

The pool of sorrow in my heart was suddenly chiseled through, and a flood poured into my chest and nose, thinking it was tears, but I didn't expect it to leak out through the tear ducts, but into the digestive system. There was a burning in her stomach, and she spat out a pool of blood.

"I'm fine, I'm fine......" She smiled awkwardly, turned her head and quietly wiped the corners of her mouth, "When I was a child, you often told me that if you fall, you have to get up by yourself, be brave, as long as you are a brave person, you can hold your fate tightly in your hands." At this point she paused for a long time, then shook her head like a rattle, as if arguing, "but it seems that this is not the case." You are kind and you are brave, why are you killed like this? I have always tried hard to learn from you as a person, and even if I am afraid, I still ask myself to be brave...... But I can't move her, I can't move that person. I took a step forward, she could escape a hundred miles, and if she moved her fingers, she could break me to pieces. Mom, what should I do, don't sleep yet, help me come up with an idea...... Mom! ”

Finally, she burst into tears, and Dr. Cen and Min Yuhua, who were separated from the door, heard that she had completely collapsed, but they were no longer as worried as before.

"Do you want to tell him?" Dr. Cen looked at Min Yuhua, who was also sad and tearful.

"Didn't you say it was just suspicion?" Min Yuhua asked rhetorically.

"Hey, it would be nice to have surveillance." Dr. Cen scratched the back of his neck and paced anxiously, "Someone must be making trouble, how can a good person suffocate, she has the ability to breathe on her own." ”

Min Yuhua calmly raised his hand to stop his conjecture.

"Curiosity kills the cat, Chiba is pitiful enough to tell her this."

"Then if it's really someone sneaking in to do something bad, we don't know about it, and our conscience is safe?"

"For her sake, let your conscience be tortured a little. I know Hasuyuki, and I saw her smile when I closed her eyes for her. She may have wanted to end it all, and she didn't want to see her daughter tormented by hatred indefinitely. ”

Min Yuhua leaned on the door and listened carefully, Chiba was still crying inside, and then continued: "If it is really man-made, then it is the one who is bent on taking the life of the lotus, the purpose is achieved, and this nightmare is over." I know it's cruel to say something like that, but it's a relief for Chiba. I watched her grow up since I was a child, how can she suffer beyond ordinary people, this child is not easy, let her live. No matter how big the hatred is, it will slowly subside over time, and when Lianyi leaves, she should have her own life. Maybe when you get married and have children, you will let it go. And the 300,000 yuan that her friend saved here is also a burden for her, and now she is returning it to her, so that she can use it on herself, I think it is more valuable than flowers on the lotus. Believe me, Ren Yi must think so too. ”

"You have a point. Hey, why do the wicked always get away with it, and it is always these good people who suffer...... Well, I'll give her a report on the loss of respiratory function, and as for the conjecture, you and I are rotten in our stomachs, and no one can say anything. ”

"Yes, don't say anything, what revenge can she take as a girl, it's distressing to delay her whole life."

"Hmm!" Dr. Shum sighed heavily.
