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

From the moment Gao Yunyan arrogantly slapped Shen Yao upon entering the room, to the moment she stepped on Shen Yao's hearing aid.

Gu Tianyou remained indifferent throughout.

At least, that's how Shen Yao sees it.

She hadn't held out much hope for this man anyway.

But when she heard the man say that she should apologize to Gao Yunyan, who had slapped her, Shen Yao's anger surged from her chest. "Apologize? Ha, impossible."

Her indifferent gaze swept across Gu Tianyou's handsome dark face, finally landing on the elderly patient.

She walked over and said gently, "Uncle, I have to go now. Take good care of yourself. Thank you."

The elderly patient was quite old and had a weak heart. He was somewhat frightened by Gao Yunyan's domineering demeanor and didn't dare to utter a sound.

Seeing that Shen Yao was thanking him, the old man felt a little ashamed and said that he hadn't been of much help.

Shen Yao shook her head and told him that taking good care of his health was the most important thing.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Shen Yao walked towards the door of the ward, not giving Gu Tianyou a single glance the entire time.

Gu Tianyou watched as the woman completely ignored him, and he felt incredibly angry and inexplicably disappointed.

"Shen Yao, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

Shen Yao, who had already walked out the door, heard Gu Tianyou's words, but this time she didn't turn back. Instead, she took out her phone and made a call.

"Grandpa, Tianyou was discharged from the hospital today. I have to go now. I'll visit you another day."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Yao Yao."

"Grandpa, this is what I should do. Otherwise, with your poor health, it would be too hard for you to take care of Tianyou."

"Oh, my Yaoyao knows how to care for me. Come over to my house another day, and I'll have Uncle Wang cook something delicious for you."

"okay!"

After ending her call with Grandpa Gu, Shen Yao quickly walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi.

The car gradually left the bustling city and entered a rough and uneven country road.

A hospital with peeling walls sits beside the road.

After paying, Shen Yao got out of the car and walked heavily into the hospital.

Led by the nurse, Shen Yao walked to the door of ward 206 and opened the door.

Wang Haiya lay quietly on the hospital bed with a bandage on her head. Every step Shen Yao took toward her felt like carrying a thousand-pound stone.

To allow patients to rest, the hospital curtains were drawn.

Dark clouds outside blocked out the sun, making the ward even darker.

Even in such dim light, Shen Yao could still clearly see Wang Haiya's swollen face and her left hand covered in ointment.

Shen Yao's eyes stung, and she felt a tightness in her chest. She had to turn around to compose herself.

"Yaoyao, you're here! Oh, how come you're here?"

A hoarse, choked voice came from behind.

Shen Yao tilted her head back and quickly wiped away her tears.

When she turned around again, all that remained on her face was a calm indifference.

“If you divorce Shen Dequan, I will rent an apartment for you in the city center and I can also find you a job.”

Upon hearing Shen Yao's words, Wang Haiya immediately shook her head, tears streaming down her face, staining the bloody wound.

"No, I can't get a divorce! That madman will kill you! Yao Yao, I'm so sorry. Don't worry about me, I won't blame you. Just go!"

"He won't have a chance to kill me, and I can call the police and have him arrested and jailed!"

"No, he will. He's gone mad now. He'll do anything for money! Yao Yao, you finally married into a good family. Don't ruin your life because of him."

Wang Haiya shuddered at the thought of every punch Shen Dequan threw at her.

She couldn't let her daughter get involved in this mess again, and she couldn't let Shen Dequan ruin her daughter's life.

"I'm divorced from Gu Tianyou." Shen Yao's calm voice, like a thunderclap, rang out in the hospital room.

Wang Haiya turned her head with difficulty, her eyes widened, and her tears stopped abruptly.

"Did he find out about our family affairs, which is why he divorced you? Did I drag you down with me?"

Seeing Wang Haiya's devastated expression, Shen Yao's heart clenched. She took a deep breath and explained, word by word, "No, you didn't drag me down. I was the one who initiated the divorce."

"Hmph, you're just like your mother!" The door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Shen Dequan, reeking of alcohol, staggered in. He pointed at Shen Yao's face and gritted his teeth, saying, "You go back and remarry Gu Tianyou right now!"
