He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

After taking a deep breath, Fu Lu slowly opened his mouth again and said, "I will never let any of those who hurt you off easily. You don't need to think about anything now, just focus on healing your injuries."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yinuo, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them and looked directly at Fu Lu.

"Uncle, where is my mother?"

Wei Yinuo spoke weakly.

“Your mother is in the hallway,” Fu Lu quickly replied.

"Did I scare her with my current appearance, which is why she's afraid to come see me?"

Wei Yinuo frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment and unease showing in her eyes.

Hearing Wei Yinuo say this, Song Zhi, who was standing to the side, felt a pang of sadness.

She hurriedly stepped forward, gently took Wei Yinuo's hand, and explained tenderly, "No, Nuonuo, please don't overthink it. Your mother didn't stay away because she was afraid of seeing you like this."

"Then why?"

Wei Yinuo blinked her clear, big eyes and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "She just doesn't know how to face you yet."

"Actually, I'm fine, I just want to see her."

Song Zhi smiled and nodded, replying, "Okay."

After saying that, she stood up, turned around, and walked quickly toward the door of the ward.

When Song Zhi reached the door, Fu Ya, who had been anxiously waiting outside, immediately came to greet her.

Her expression was tense, her hands clenched tightly together, and she couldn't wait to ask Song Zhi, "How is she? Is Nuonuo... alright?"

Song Zhi quickly comforted her, "Big sister, don't worry too much, Nuonuo wants to see you."

Fu Ya was stunned upon hearing this, and then she couldn't help but sniffle, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to spill from her eyes.

She nodded heavily, then gently pushed open the door to the ward.

As soon as the door opened, Wei Yinuo, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw her mother walking in.

She forced a smile and said softly, "Mom."

Fu Ya originally wanted to hold back her tears, but when she heard Wei Yinuo call her "Mom," her tears instantly burst forth.

She quickly went over, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to hold Wei Yinuo's hand.

"Nono, Mommy's here, Mommy's here."

Looking at her mother who was crying so sadly, Wei Yinuo gently comforted her, "Mom, don't cry, I'm fine."

"Mom didn't cry, she just got sand in her eyes."

Wei Yinuo forced a smile.

"Mom, am I ugly now?"

Fu Ya shook her head: "Not ugly, not ugly at all, you are beautiful."

"Really? But that cut was really long, I think it was at least ten centimeters long."

Wei Yinuo spoke softly, as if she were talking about something insignificant.

"It's okay, Mom will use the best scar removal cream for you, it won't leave a scar."

"Yes, I believe it. My mother is amazing and very strong."

As she spoke, Wei Yinuo looked at Fu Lu and said softly, "Uncle, don't blame yourself. I don't blame any of you. This is my fate."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu turned his head away and remained silent.

But Song Zhi, who was standing to the side, saw that Fu Lu's eyes were red.

She walked forward silently and gently took Fu Lu's hand.

Fingers intertwined.

Song Zhi felt Fu Lu's hand, which was tightly gripping hers, trembling.

Fu Lu was also very sad, and Song Zhi knew this very well.

Wei Yinuo continued, "Also, don't tell Grandpa. He's getting old, and I don't want him to worry about me."

Fu Ya replied, "He didn't say, Grandpa doesn't know."

"That's good."

Fu Ya stared at the ceiling for a while, then suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Mom, can you do something for me?"

"what?"

"I want to change my surname. I'd like to use the surname Fu. Is that okay?"

Fu Ya felt a lump in her throat. She wanted to hug Wei Yinuo, but seeing that her body was wrapped in bandages, she didn't dare to touch her.

She was afraid that she would hurt Wei Yinuo again, so she could only suppress the urge to hug him.

"Okay, once you're better, Mom will take you to get it fixed."

"Can we do it tomorrow?"

"You cannot be discharged from the hospital yet."

"Then the day after tomorrow?"

Fu Ya wanted to refuse, but Fu Lu stopped her.

"Big sister, the day after tomorrow is fine. Take Nuonuo to get it changed the day after tomorrow."

Fu Ya was still a little worried: "But I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Lu quickly interrupted, saying, "Don't worry, we'll just be careful."

Hearing him say this, Fu Ya was still somewhat uneasy, but she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The two stayed quietly in the hospital, keeping each other company, as time passed by, minute by minute.

It wasn't until the nurse came quickly, her face stern, that they were urged to leave immediately, saying that the patient needed to rest.

At this moment, Fu Lu slowly stood up, gently patted Song Zhi's shoulder, and then left the ward with her.

After watching the two leave, Wei Yinuo whispered to Fu Ya, "Mom, you can go back now. I'm really fine. I can manage on my own."

Hearing her sensible words, Fu Ya felt a pang of sadness, and tears welled up in her eyes.

But she forced back her grief and responded with a loving smile, "Silly child, how could Mommy bear to leave you alone? Mommy will always be here with you."

"I can manage on my own, don't worry. Weren't they all arrested?"

Hearing her daughter bring up the matter herself made Fu Ya feel even more distressed.

"Nono, it's Mommy's fault for letting you down."

"I'm fine, Mom, it's not your fault."

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

Fu Ya sat quietly by the hospital bed, staring intently at her sleeping face.

After a while, once she was sure that Wei Yinuo had fallen into a deep sleep, Fu Ya quietly stood up.

She tiptoed to the door and carefully turned off the ward light. Then, she quietly returned to the bedside and lay down on the narrow cot next to her, afraid of waking Wei Yinuo.

The ward fell silent for a moment.

The light from the corridor outside refracted through the glass of the ward door, and you could occasionally hear people walking around outside.

Wei Yinuo listened to the sounds from the cot next to her and made sure Fu Ya was in bed before slowly opening her eyes.

She couldn't sleep; every time she closed her eyes, all she could see in her mind were the hideous faces of those kidnappers.

She was terrified, but dared not make a sound, and could only tremble under the covers.

As she forced herself to sleep again, a shadow suddenly appeared on the ground.

Wei Yinuo thought it was a nurse, so she looked out the small window.

It wasn't a nurse, it was Zhou Yan who hadn't shown up all along.

Wei Yinuo didn't know why he would come so late, or why he didn't come to see her.

Then she thought about it again and realized that perhaps her situation was too bad, and Zhou Yan disliked her.

At that moment, Wei Yinuo suddenly felt that God was unfair.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always done her best to help those in need and has never done anything immoral or unethical. So why is she being treated this way?

She also wanted Zhou Yan to see her most vulnerable side.

He probably doesn't want to see himself right now, and feels like he's dirty.

In fact, Wei Yinuo herself thinks so too.

The moment Wei Yinuo opened her eyes in the hospital, she felt no joy at being alive, but rather a deep sense of loss.

Why didn't I die?

It would be better if I were dead.

Just like now.

She doesn't want to live anymore.
