Chapter 360: He Brought It for Her Specifically

"Big Brother's assistant."

Fu Yanci kept his words concise.

Ye Li paused for a moment. "So, she was supposed to be with him..."

"No."

Fu Yanci shook his head. "She was originally supposed to go, but she felt unwell before departure, so someone else from the President's Office was sent in her place."

Ye Li quietly looked at him, as if silently asking why then she was buried here, and why her name as the one who erected the gravestone was not even present.

Fu Yanci said softly, "When word of Big Brother's accident came back to the country, she felt half the blame was hers. Her condition worsened, and later... she couldn't be saved. She passed away on the same day as Big Brother's one-year anniversary of death."

Ye Li's sadness deepened.

She had always known that life was fragile, but seeing a young, beautiful girl appear as a grayscale photo on a tombstone still left her with a feeling of being unable to accept it.

The phone dinged with an alert.
