After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

"Even if you don't love her, she's been with you for so many years. Even without love, she's become part of our family. You're asking me to persuade her to donate blood to a mistress who broke up her family? You're stabbing her already wounded heart in another wound! How can you be so heartless?"

Grandpa Gu spoke at length.

As he spoke, he became so angry that he coughed repeatedly and even choked up.

The reason for adopting Shen Yao was simply to give Gu Tianyou, who lost his parents at a young age, someone to accompany him.

His plan was that Shen Yao was younger than Gu Tianyou, which might inspire Gu Tianyou's sense of responsibility and make him a responsible and dependable man.

But as things have now turned out, his wishful thinking has been completely shattered.

"Grandpa, call Shen Yao and tell her that Yingying is in critical condition and desperately needs a blood transfusion. Tell her to get to the hospital within twenty minutes..."

When Grandpa Gu heard that Gu Tianyou still wanted Shen Yao to donate blood, he immediately refused, "Grandpa can't do that!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Gu Tianyou's response.

Shortly after Shen Yao woke up again, she saw Chu Yao's worried face.

As soon as he saw her wake up, a bright, sunny smile returned to his face.

"Sister, you're finally awake!"

Chu Yao reached out and gently stroked Shen Yao's soft hair, as if he were stroking a child.

Shen Yao instinctively tried to dodge, but she didn't have the strength.

The doctor came in, checked her limb reflexes and pupil reflexes, and ordered a brain CT scan.

Just as she was about to sit in her wheelchair to queue for the check-up, Gu Tianyou called.

Upon seeing those three words, her heart suddenly began to pound.

His hands trembled uncontrollably.

Chu Yao frowned, looking at the flashing name "Gu Tianyou" on the screen, and snatched the phone away. "Sister, if seeing this name makes you uncomfortable, then don't look at it."

With that, Chu Yao hung up the phone.

But less than three seconds later, the phone rang again.

Shen Yao knew that if she didn't answer the man's calls, he would still come knocking on her door.

She asked Chu Yao to hand her the phone.

Chu Yao initially refused, but seeing Shen Yao's face turn deathly pale, he had no choice but to hand her the phone.

"Hello, what's up?" A woman's weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

Gu Tianyou's anger subsided slowly upon hearing the woman's familiar voice.

"Yingying's heart condition relapsed because of you, and she's in the operating room again. You need to come over within ten minutes for a blood transfusion."

Shen Yao's hand holding the phone grew colder and colder with each passing inch.

She is feeling very unwell and weak. She is afraid to look at things because she feels like everything is spinning in front of her.

She could only close her eyes.

Her silence led Gu Tianyou to believe that she was unwilling.

“You’ve wronged Yingying. Give yourself a chance to atone. Come over here right now for a blood transfusion!” Gu Tianyou tried his best to suppress his anger and communicate with the woman.

As the man kept mentioning Ye Yingying, many unpleasant memories from the past flooded Shen Yao's mind.

These memories, like vines, slowly wrapped around her neck, giving her a deep, suffocating sense of despair.

Cold tears slowly slid down my face.

Shen Yao said with almost all her might, "Gu Tianyou, are you only satisfied when you've tortured me to death? No, it should be, are you and Ye Yingying only happy when you've tortured me to death?"
