After the divorce, the CEO knelt down every night begging for remarriage.

After driving Wen Rongbin and Sun Meng away, Lin Zhi went to visit Lin Wanxin in the special care ward.

Lin Wanxin remains unconscious.

With tears welling in her eyes, she choked out as she asked the doctor standing beside her, "Dr. Song, is there no hope for my mother to wake up again?"

She was unwilling to let Lin Wanxin die like this.

They hadn't even had a proper goodbye.

The doctor hesitated for a long time before saying, "Mrs. Li, I know you must be very sad, but this is the best outcome for now. Perhaps in a few years, medical technology will improve and there may be a turning point."

Lin Zhi felt a pang of heartache.

She asked softly, "Even if a heart donor is found and a transplant is performed, is there still no possibility of waking up?"

The doctor gently shook his head.

Although reality is cruel, he cannot give Lin Zhi false hope in order not to hurt her feelings.

After receiving the doctor's instructions, Lin Zhi, holding Lin Wanxin's hand tightly, began to tremble uncontrollably.

She experienced the heart-wrenching pain of having her loved ones right in front of her, yet being powerless to help them.

The doctor didn't disturb her much, leaving Lin Zhi alone in the ward.

The moment the door closed, Lin Zhi could no longer hold back her emotions and burst into tears.

She cried in despair, her voice hoarse.

Every time I called out "Mom," I received a response.

Upon hearing the news, Shen Mubai rushed to the hospital immediately. He stopped knocking on the door and looked at Lin Zhi, who was crying bitterly, through the door.

He didn't go in to disturb them, but instead stood guard outside the door.

He wanted to give Lin Zhi space to have a good cry and release all her sadness.

It's always better to cry than to bottle it up and get sick.

Time flew by and it was already evening.

Lin Zhicai cried until she was exhausted, then got up and left the ward.

Her phone beeped as soon as she stepped out of the ward.

A message from an unknown number was sent to her phone. She tapped it casually, and when she saw the photo the sender had sent, her bloodless face instantly turned purple.

My fingers were trembling so much that I couldn't hold the phone.

Shen Mubai caught the phone in mid-air. He supported the swaying Lin Zhi, glanced at the photo on the screen, and frowned.

Shen Mubai said calmly, "Perhaps it's a misunderstanding."

Misunderstand?

Lin Zhi laughed in exasperation.

In the photo, Su Nianqing is being protected in Li Tingze's arms, and he looks worried. She can't see where the misunderstanding is.

The floor was covered in candlelight, the room was filled with pink balloons, and there was a three-tiered pink birthday cake.

Anyone with a brain can see that this is a birthday party that Li Tingze specially prepared for Su Nianqing.

Her mother was so provoked by Su's mother's words that she became a vegetable.

But he flew to a neighboring city to prepare a birthday surprise for Su Nianqing.

Looking at Su Nianqing's shy face in the picture, Lin Zhi felt as if her heart had been stabbed.

She recalled Lin Wanxin's faint smile when she specifically asked her to buy a gift for Li Tingze, and her heart ached so much that tears streamed down her face...

She lowered her head and cried again.

Seeing this, Shen Mubai gently patted her back and said in a low voice, "Zhi'er, there's something I've always wanted to say, but I'm afraid that saying it will damage our relationship."

Lin Zhi guessed what Shen Mubai wanted to say.

This time, Shen Mubai didn't hold back, but said bluntly: "When you're alive, you have to learn to cut your losses in time and stay away from people who bring you misfortune. If you want to but can't get rid of them, I will do everything I can to help you stay away."

Lin Zhi also longed to stay away.

only……

She couldn't bring herself to drag Shen Mubai, who was completely innocent, into this mess.

Shen Mubai is so good, she can't bear to hurt him.

Shen Mubai used a tissue to wipe away her tears: "Don't cry, okay?"

Lin Zhi tried to compose herself, but when she thought of Lin Wanxin's expectations for her and Li Tingze, her eyes stung and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Shen Mubai felt heartbroken and, with a surge of courage, placed her head against his chest, silently keeping her company and allowing her to cry in peace.

Just then, Li Tingze appeared.

Upon seeing this, Li Tingze rushed forward without saying a word, grabbed Shen Mubai by the collar, and swung his fist, striking Shen Mubai's face with great speed and force, causing Shen Mubai to vomit blood.

Shen Mubai didn't tolerate Li Tingze's behavior. He casually wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and punched Li Tingze back.

The two men wrestled together, neither holding back, their punches landing squarely.

Shen Mubai, with his fair and tender flesh, was no match for Li Tingze. He was soon beaten to the ground. Li Tingze did not let him go and grabbed him by the collar, ready to strike him hard.

Lin Zhi ran forward and grabbed Li Tingze's arm tightly, shouting in a hoarse voice, "Li Tingze, stop it! Stop going crazy!"

Li Tingze was stunned for a moment.

He stared intently at Lin Zhi with deep eyes and sneered, "Lin Zhi, you need to get this straight, I am your husband!"

Lin Zhi didn't answer, but stared at Li Tingze's eyes with resentment, her tone very firm: "Li Tingze, I'm telling you to let go!"

Li Tingze frowned slightly. He looked down at Lin Zhi's hand, which had turned blue from gripping him so tightly, and finally let go of Shen Mubai's collar.

Lin Zhi hurriedly checked Shen Mubai's wound and said with concern, "Come on, let me help you to find a doctor to treat your wound."

Shen Mubai was surprised, but also felt that he could understand it.

She knew that Lin Zhi didn't want to face Li Tingze right now, so she went along with Lin Zhi's wishes and let her help her walk towards the doctor's office.

Lin Zhi had only taken a couple of steps when Li Tingze grabbed her wrist.

He spoke softly, "Wife... let's talk..."

Lin Zhi shook off his hand, her eyes red-rimmed: "Li Tingze, what kind of relationship do you intend to have with me? You should know who is responsible for my mother's current state. Are you planning to talk to me about compensation or divorce? Do you know that my mother has always been grateful to you, and even tried to persuade me to live a good life with you, saying that you are a good person? But your white moonlight has driven her into a vegetative state!"

Li Tingze felt a chill run down his spine.

On his way there, he learned from his assistant that Lin Wanxin had fallen ill and been hospitalized.

However, the assistant did not say that Lin Wanxin had become a vegetable.

Even the Su mother and daughter were not mentioned.

Looking at Lin Zhi's red eyes, he couldn't imagine how heartbroken she must have been by such a blow.

His heart ached especially when he looked down at the watch on his wrist.

Li Tingze said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I really didn't know this would happen..."

Lin Zhi looked at him with hatred in her eyes: "Li Tingze, I don't have a mother anymore. While you were preparing a birthday surprise for your beloved white moonlight, I lost the person who loved me the most in this world."

No matter how many sweet words you say, I will never be foolish enough to believe a single one of your words again!

"No, I won't do it again!"

After saying that, Lin Zhi shoved Li Tingze hard in the chest.

Li Tingze's heart sank instantly. He hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Lin Zhi, saying, "Lin Zhi, calm down and let me explain."

Lin Zhi's emotions were overwhelmed by his tight embrace.

She struggled violently with both hands, wildly waving her arms at Li Tingze.

While hitting him, she cried and said, "No, I will never listen to your lies again, Li Tingze, please let me go."
