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

Gu Tianyou's pupils contracted slightly.

This woman... it really is her.

If the woman had been sitting in the car just now, he wouldn't have been quite sure if it was a woman.

But now, the woman's face, almost inches away, confirmed Gu Tianyou's identity.

His chest heaved violently, and he managed to utter two words with difficulty, "Shen Yao!"

Hearing someone call her name, Shen Yao stopped and turned to look in the direction of the voice.

On the stretcher, the man's forehead was bleeding, and his dark, deep eyes were fixed on him.

Shen Yao frowned, turned around, and walked step by step to the man on the stretcher, asking calmly, "How do you know my name?"

Looking at the woman's still beautiful and aloof face, Gu Tianyou's chest heaved violently. "Where are you hiding?"

"Yaoyao, it's getting late, you should go back and rest." Huangfuhao walked over and gestured for Xu Yang to take Gu Tianyou away.

Xu Yang is a psychotherapist and can keenly sense the shock and astonishment the man on the stretcher felt when he saw Shen Yao.

It seems there's a story between them...

Thinking of everything that had happened before, Xu Yang looked meaningfully at the man on the stretcher and gently patted Shen Yao's shoulder, "This gentleman has mistaken me for someone else. Let's go."

Shen Yao nodded.

She also found the man on the stretcher's questions utterly nonsensical. They didn't know each other, yet he was talking about hiding and cursing—had he lost his mind?

"Excuse me, could you please make way? We need to get the patient to the hospital right away."

The staff carrying the stretcher gestured for Xu Yang, Huangfu Hao, and the others to move aside.

Gu Tianyou was carried into the ambulance, and Chen Jie followed behind, intending to go to the hospital with him.

As Chen Jie brushed past Shen Yao, he couldn't help but say, "Madam, even if President Gu has made a mistake, how can you, as a doctor, stand by and watch someone die?"

Before Shen Yao could react, Chen Jie was already in the ambulance.

The ambulance sped away, and Shen Yao watched it disappear into the night, lost in thought.

Upon arriving at Xu Yang's studio, Shen Yao sat on a single sofa, with soothing music playing in the room.

Xu Yang asked her what she wanted to drink, and Shen Yao said, "Warm water with lemon slices."

"Shall I add a piece of rock sugar?"

"No, I want something a little bitter today."

Five minutes later, Xu Yang handed Shen Yao a glass of warm water with lemon slices in it.

"What have you been busy with lately? Tell me about it," Xu Yang asked casually.

"I've been busy with scientific research. One of my projects is nearing completion." Shen Yao took a sip of lemonade; it was indeed a bit bitter.

“That means you’ve had a fulfilling life. What about the rest?” Xu Yang said gently.

"Do you mean your love life?" Shen Yao fell silent. After a while, she leaned back in her chair. "I always feel like I've forgotten something, but I can't remember it."

Xu Yang nodded. "Perhaps not being able to remember is a good thing for you."

Shen Yao asked, "Really?"

Xu Yang seemed thoughtful. "Just think of it as restarting your life. After all, you hit your head last time. Although the test results showed that there was nothing seriously wrong with your brain, sometimes the human brain is amazing. It will actively help you filter things out and make you happier."

"My brain helps me filter and makes me happier?" Shen Yao murmured, repeating Xu Yang's words as she gazed at the crescent moon outside the window.

The conversation ended an hour later.

“Actually, we spend our whole lives making peace with ourselves.” Xu Yang smiled as he saw Shen Yao downstairs. “When you are brave enough to face everything you were afraid to face in the past, no one can hurt you anymore.”
