Chapter 18 The Countdown
The day the police moved to arrest Auntie Hua felt like my execution date drawing closer.
I swallowed every pill I’d hoarded, trying to numb everything.
Zhou Ke was happy for me. His voice stayed gentle.
“Nanfang, you can finally be reunited with your sister.”
I stared at him coldly, wishing I could see straight into his soul.
Did Zhou Ke really know nothing? That day in the cinema, did he truly hear nothing?
Had he stayed by my side all these years with no ulterior motive at all?
The saddest part was I had no proof. I could only keep pretending.
If I tore everything open, I would be the one left with nowhere to run.
I drifted through the days in a daze, waiting for the police update, waiting for judgment.
What fate gave me back instead was a Mu Weiyi who remembered nothing.
