Don't meet me in your next life.

Xiang Yi shook her head. "Shao Yiwen, everything I said is true. No matter how I got to the hotel, I did go to a hotel. I didn't expect you to come. I didn't want you to be angry, and I didn't want my mom and your family to know about us, so I lied to you. Please believe me, okay? I really didn't lie to you!"

Xiang Yi was so anxious she was about to cry.

She truly didn't expect Shao Yiwen to be waiting for her at the hospital entrance.

Shao Yiwen snorted coldly.

"Xiang Yiyi, if you have no money, why would you lie to me?"

Xiang Yi bit her lip. "Because... I want my father to wake up. I hope you can help me..."

"You want my dad to wake up?"

"Yes!" Xiang Yi said hurriedly, "My father has been in a coma. He's still lying in the hospital, his life hanging in the balance. I'm really worried about him, which is why I came to the hospital to find you, hoping you can help me save my father. I didn't mean to lie to you."

"Hmph, Xiang Yiyi, don't take me for a fool!"

Shao Yiwen looked at her, his eyes filled with disappointment and sorrow.

He never expected that Xiang Yi would be willing to sacrifice herself for her father.

"I've never blamed you. I just don't like you using me. You're my wife, and you went to a hotel for my father—what does that mean? I'm not even worth a check!"

After he finished speaking, he tore up the check in his hand and threw it hard on the ground.

Xiang Yi looked at him, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"That's not how it is! Shao Yiwen, listen to me, don't do this..."

Xiang Yi squatted down to pick up the torn check, but he turned and left without a second glance.

She sat on the ground, stunned, watching him leave, and finally, tears welled up in her eyes.

Shao Yiwen, how could you insult me ​​like this?

All I wanted to do was save my father, why are you saying this to me?

Shao Yiwen's footsteps faded into the distance, eventually disappearing from her ears.

Xiang Yi stared blankly at his retreating figure, a feeling of unprecedented despair and desolation welling up inside her.

She didn't mean to lie to him...

She never intended to use him!

But Shao Yiwen, why did you say that to me? I just... I really didn't mean it...

But Shao Yiwen, why do you hate me so much? You hate me so much that you won't even touch me!

Why are you saying that about me?

Xiang Yi's shoulders trembled violently, and tears streamed down her face.

She suddenly felt so lonely and helpless.

In her memory, Shao Yiwen had always doted on and tolerated her. But at this moment, Xiang Yi suddenly felt very pitiful.

He doesn't like her anymore; she's a joke, a joke he hates!

He doesn't want her anymore!

How is she supposed to live from now on?

Xiang Yi cried, wiping away her tears incessantly.

Even though she was just a pawn, she still liked Shao Yiwen and wanted to be with him.

So she tried hard to change herself, to be a good wife, and to make him like her.

But why did her efforts only earn her Shao Yiwen's disdain?

Did she really do something wrong?

Is she really not a good wife?

But... she really wanted to be with him...

The "tick-tock" sound rang out.

Xiang Yi reached out her hand and saw that it was wet.

Her tears had dried up, but a single, glistening tear still clung to the corner of her eye.

She kept wiping away her tears, trying to clean them off her face.

She is such a strong person, but at this moment, she couldn't help but want to cry.

"Waaah..." Xiang Yi lowered her head, covered her mouth, and cried silently.

This was the most helpless day she had ever experienced in all these years.

She was really aggrieved.

All of this made her feel ashamed.

She felt like a child who hadn't grown up.

All she knew was that if Shao Yiwen continued to misunderstand her, she might lose this husband who loved her, cherished her, and gave her warmth forever.

Xiang Yi's vision grew increasingly blurry as she looked around, as if she had returned to those dark days.

She kept wondering what she had done wrong and why God was punishing her.

She did nothing wrong, so why be so cruel to her?

Xiang Yi cried so hard she could barely breathe, and finally fainted on the ground.

She drifted off to sleep in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiang Yi slowly opened her eyes.

She felt very tired and exhausted.

"Yi Yi, you're awake."

A kind voice rang in my ears.

Xiang Yi turned her head and saw a kind-looking woman sitting by her bedside, looking at her with concern.

Who is this? Does she know him?

"Thank you, Auntie." Xiang Yi struggled to get up from the bed.

She remembers being in a car accident on the road, but she has no idea what happened afterward.

She only vaguely remembered being hit by a car on the road.

Where is she now? How did she end up here?

Wasn't she already... dead?

"Oh dear, don't move! The wound has reopened. The doctor said you absolutely mustn't move."

"Oh, by the way, Auntie, could you tell me where this is?" Xiang Yi asked softly.

"Yi Yi, you're in the hospital right now."

"Hospital? What happened to me? How did I end up in a hospital?"

Xiang Yi looked at the woman in surprise.

Her memory is stuck in her office.

But... she's already at the crematorium.

Could it be that......

"Yi Yi, you need to rest first. Your leg is badly injured and you'll need to stay in bed for several months."

"I...I injured my leg?" Xiang Yi asked in surprise. She had no recollection of it at all.

“Yes,” the woman sighed, “it’s all my fault for not taking good care of you.”

"Auntie, please don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. It was my own carelessness. It's not your fault."

"Don't try to be strong. If it weren't for our family's situation, you wouldn't be in this state," the woman said, a pang of sadness in her heart. "Oh, right, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll go buy you some porridge; have some to tide you over."

"No need to trouble your mother, Auntie."

"How could it not be troublesome? I'll go buy it, and I'll bring it to you after you've eaten."

Xiang Yi couldn't refuse her, so she had no choice but to agree.

She thought that since the woman was so kind to her, she must be her friend.

She was alone in the hospital room, feeling a little uneasy.

Xiang Yi glanced out the window; the sky was frighteningly gloomy.

She wasn't sure how long she had been unconscious, nor did she know if Shao Yiwen had found her. He must hate her now, which was why he was ignoring her.

Xiang Yi waited in the ward for a while, and seeing that the woman had not brought back any porridge, she got out of bed and prepared to go outside for some fresh air.

But when she reached the door, she ran into two other nurses.

The two nurses immediately looked at her warily as soon as they saw her come out.

One of the nurses scoffed and said sarcastically, "Oh, so you finally decided to come out?"

Could it be that Shao Yiwen also found her?

"I just came out for some fresh air, sorry to bother you two."
