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

"Okay, I'll be right there." Shen Yao hung up the phone, her heart pounding involuntarily.

She didn't want anyone else to know what had happened.

After quickly composing himself, he said to Bo Yuxiu, Huangfu Hao and the others, "You should go back and rest early. I'm going home too. You don't need to see me off. My house is so close, I can walk back by myself."

Everyone looked around and agreed that the restaurant wasn't far from Shen Yao's apartment complex, so they all left.

Shen Yao also pretended to walk towards the direction of the residential area.

As she approached her residential area, she turned a corner, walked back to the roadside, and hailed a taxi.

As the taxi drove along the wide seaside boulevard, Shen Yao gazed at the neon lights and towering buildings flashing past the window, lost in thought.

In the rearview mirror, a black car was following at a distance that wasn't too close...

Upon arriving at the hospital, Shen Yao easily found her way to Wang Haiya's ward.

She saw several nurses frantically holding down Wang Haiya's limbs.

At this moment, Wang Haiya was like a madwoman, struggling violently on the bed, shouting and screaming.

"Let me go! Let me go! I don't want treatment! I don't want it!"

Wang Haiya shouted and resisted the treatment from the doctors and nurses.

The attending physician finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Yao arrive.

"Miss Shen, you've finally arrived. May I speak with you in private?"

"can."

"Okay, please come to the office."

The attending physician very politely invited Shen Yao into his office.

Due to privacy concerns, the attending physician asked Shen Yao to close the door.

"Doctor, Ms. Wang Haiya's condition has always been quite stable. Why did it suddenly turn out like this?" Shen Yao asked, puzzled.

The attending physician gave Shen Yao a strange look and sighed.

"Ms. Shen, have you forgotten? You haven't visited your mother in the hospital for over a year." The attending physician's eyes held a cold, judgmental gaze.

"Has it been more than a year since I last came here?" Shen Yao's mind was in complete chaos.

She thought of Gu Tianyou, and of the days she spent working day and night in the experiments that year... She kept busy with work and experiments, filling her schedule to the brim.

Indeed, there was no memory of her visiting Wang Haiya in the complex network of her brain's memories.

Shen Yao's fingers, which were resting on her knees, clenched into fists.

"What happened to her?"

The attending physician opened the medical records on the computer and explained the situation to Shen Yao in detail.

Because in the past year, apart from Lu Jiajia coming to visit when she had time, Shen Yao, as her biological daughter, had not come to visit even once. Wang Haiya felt that Shen Yao did not want to see her anymore.

Therefore, Wang Haiya initially refused medication and later also refused psychological counseling.

She refused anything that would benefit her condition.

By chance, Wang Haiya learned that her monthly treatment costs were as high as 1 to 3 yuan, and then asked to be discharged from the hospital.

The hospital, of course, would not approve her discharge. After all, Wang Haiya was already contemplating suicide at this point.

"No, to be precise, the scars on Ms. Wang Haiya's body may not have been inflicted by others. It is also possible that she inflicted them herself."

"This...how is this possible? It was that man named Shen Dequan who did this to her. Almost all of her injuries were inflicted by Shen Dequan!"

Shen Yao remembered it clearly; she had witnessed Shen Dequan's brutality firsthand. Shen Dequan had even once grabbed her by the neck with one hand, trying to strangle her to death.

"If you don't believe me, I can show you the photos we took." With that, the attending physician clicked the mouse, and a series of bloody and mangled wounds violently assaulted Shen Yao's vision.
