Chapter 53: Don't Let Her Down

```

Clang.

A small access door at the bottom of the main gate remained open, through which food was passed in from the outside.

"Mother, let me out. It's so dark in here..." Qiu Shiyin's low plea sounded.

The hand delivering the food suddenly paused.

As if seeing hope, Qiu Shiyin's pleas became even more urgent.

After a long, long time, the hand set down the food, followed by a sigh, and that small access door closed once more.

In the cramped and dark cage, she was once again alone, her suffocating breaths clearly audible.

Having stayed in such a dark place for so many years, she must be... very lonely.

Ji Chuan thought.

....

The scene quickly changed.

Qiu Shiyin's small hand was held by a man with an honest face.

That was her dad.

The bustling market scene dazzled her, filling Qiu Shiyin with happiness.

Suddenly, bizarre colors surged before Qiu Shiyin's eyes.

She felt an excruciating headache and could only crouch down in agony, clutching her head.
