Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was nighttime. Across the sky were a few twinkling stars.
Because it was already late at night, the couple left Pei Ge’s ward.
Tang Xiaoyu wanted to stay, but she went with her boyfriend due to her best friend’s refusal for her to stay.
Therefore, only the woman was left in the spacious ward.
Looking at the starry sky above, she let her thoughts wander.
Her face was expressionless, as if she had tuned out everything else.
Leaving was not as simple as she had thought it to be.
Even though she seemed carefree when she was talking about leaving, in reality, she was the opposite of that.
After all, it was leaving the country and not just taking a road trip.
She, who grew up in Beijing, had never considered studying and living overseas one day.
Looking at the bright stars dotting the night sky, she pursed her lips.
Suddenly, she felt that, just like the few bright stars in the sky, her future was rather dark and bleak.
She did not know if her decision was right, but she knew that she was definitely leaving the country.
Just as she was imagining things, stuck in her world, her phone started ringing.
The unfamiliar ringing broke her chain of thoughts.
Returning to her senses, she looked confusedly at the brand-new phone placed on the headboard.
This was the phone her best friend had gotten for her earlier today.
The only people who knew her new phone number were... Gu Zhengrong, Tang Xiaoyu, and Officer Wu.
Since the two had just left... the person calling should be...
At this thought, her expression became more urgent.
After she grabbed her phone from the headboard, she indeed saw the police officer’s name.
“Hello, officer.”
She picked it up without delay.
She had texted the officer behind her best friend’s back earlier today.
In the message, she told him to call if there was an update regarding her mother’s case, and now...
For some reason, she got more nervous.
“Is this Miss Pei?” asked the officer with some uncertainty. This perhaps because she had changed her phone number.
“Yes! My mother’s case...” she asked softly, “how’s the investigation going?”
At her question, the police officer remained silent for a while. He was not as straightforward with her as before. as if not knowing how to explain it to her.
“Ma’am, it’s like this... cough!”
At this point, he went silent again as he truly did not know what to say to her.
The woman held her breath at his hesitation to speak.
An ominous feeling rose in her.
“Sir, if there’s anything, just say it out,” she said gently, taking a deep breath thereafter.
“Ma’am, it’s like this... I regret to say that your mother’s case...” The police officer spoke at once, as if having made a decision. “It’s on hold for now. I’m so sorry. My promise to you to catch the perpetrator, it’s unfortunately not going to happen.”
Once he was done speaking, the woman was not shocked or surprised.
She had already guessed what the officer was going to say when he had gone silent.
“On hold...” she muttered coldly. “Heh... Did someone pressure you...”
“That...”
The officer was at a loss for words when, instead of feeling surprised, she made some snide remarks.
“Miss, I’m really sorry. I...”
“Who is that person...” she asked coldly.
Even though she did not want to ask and knew the kind of reply the officer would give her, she wanted to take one last gamble.
Maybe she was wrong...
“I... don’t know.”
“Sir, my mom’s been through so much. Even now, she may never wake up, but you can’t even tell me who’s aiding the person who harmed my mother?”
She stated without hesitation as she stared quietly at the dark sky outside. It was as if she had lost her soul.
“I really don’t know who he is, but his surname seems to be Ji...”
Despite remaining expressionless, her hand trembled a little when she heard the officer’s response.
“I understand...”
With that, she hung up the phone and cared not for what else the police officer would say.
“Surname is Ji...” She muttered softly to herself after she had hung up and put the phone back on the headboard.
In the end, it really was the man...
Ha ha... How could she have been so good at guessing?
A smile blossomed on her expressionless face, but it looked worse than crying.
Ji Ziming, what exactly do you mean by doing this...
Don’t we have any feelings to speak of between the two of us?
You can treat me this way for Qiao Jingyun...
What do I make of our feelings all this while then?
In an instant, she felt herself suffocating, as if someone were smothering her.
She only returned from the depths of her despair when she felt the soreness coming from her abdomen.
“Pei Ge... calm down; you still have the child with you...”
Your baby will never betray you...
Alas, no matter how she comforted herself, tears still leaked uncontrollably from her soulless eyes.
“Baby... mommy will stay strong and well for you...”
I’ll never forget those who hurt us...
Baby, mommy only has you left...
