Chapter 414: Sending Her Away

…

Gu Xi spent the entire night quietly in the lounge.

She hardly dared to sleep that night, getting up every so often to peek out the door.

When Mr. Li's illness wasn't flaring up, it was manageable, but once it started, it would cause a headache for a long time. In the past, when he wasn't hospitalized, he would bear it alone or take some pain killers. Now, in the hospital under constant watch, he couldn't endure it.

Several times, Gu Xi heard noises and saw Wang Jing wiping away tears in secret in the corridor.

Her mother, Madam Wang, used to be such a confident and flamboyant person.

Now, she seemed to be almost crushed by misfortune, barely able to hold her head up.

It felt like her heart was being twisted by a knife. Several times, she wanted to rush out and embrace her, to tell her mother she was still alive.

But she lacked the courage.

She didn't have the courage to die, nor the courage to continue living.
