Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Mu Tiantian felt annoyed and said irritably, "Just drive your car, my safety is none of your concern."

She will not let the marriage become a reality.

I'll wait until the 15th to go to Qingyou Temple for a vegetarian meal and ask Master Wukong for help one more time.

His own father trusted Wukong so much that he would never doubt him.

Ling Jieyu wasn't angry. He was equally confident and determined to become a real couple with Mu Tiantian.

He leisurely drove away.

Mu Tiantian stared at Ling Jieyu's back, feeling uneasy because she couldn't figure out his true thoughts.

But she didn't want to scare herself.

She glanced out the car window and suddenly thought of Wen Kerou.

It feels like ages have passed since the last fire at the orphanage.

Recalling the scene, especially the moment when Wen Kerou rushed in to save her, she still felt very moved.

She even prepared for the worst.

If, despite her efforts, she and Fu Zhengting still cannot be together, then she will grant Wen Kerou and Fu Zhengting their wish to be together.

Wen Kerou is so wonderful, and she loves Fu Zhengting so much; no one is more suitable than her.

She was surprised by her own thought and twitched the corner of her mouth.

Seeing Mu Tiantian suddenly grinning foolishly, Jiang Hui asked in confusion, "Tiantian, why are you grinning like that?"

Mu Tiantian replied truthfully, "Mom, I actually miss Wen Kerou a little. It's so relaxing to be with her. She's such a good person. God is so cruel to let such a good person like her be unable to have him."

The time I spent with Wen Kerou at the orphanage and with the children was too short, but thinking about it now feels wonderful and I miss it dearly.

Jiang Hui chuckled softly, "You silly child."

However, she also had a good impression of Wen Kerou. She remarked, "Love is not something that people will like just because they are good. Often, the better a person is, the less they are loved, while those who play with feelings happen to meet people who truly love them."

Mu Tiantian also felt that this phenomenon was cruel.

She joked, "Mom, do you mean I'm not a good person?"

Jiang Huiqian glared at Mu Tiantian, "Of course that's not what Mom meant. It just means that you and Ashen have hit it off."

She glanced warily at Ling Jieyu in the driver's seat, afraid of upsetting him, and didn't say anything more.

Zhong Qiuyi, who usually loves to join in the fun, was unusually quiet. She didn't say anything, but looked out the car window, dreaming about her own love.

When will she meet someone she likes?

Speaking of Wen Kerou, Jiang Hui's question grew deeper and deeper.

She wondered what Wen Kerou wanted to say to Fu Zhengting that night.

*

Unbeknownst to them, Wen Kerou was in a seaside coffee shop at that moment.

Her condition worsened, and the cold weather exacerbated her cough.

Because it was late-stage, the doctor clearly told her that her chances of survival were very small, and dialysis was too painful, so she gave up treatment.

She preferred to spend the last moments of her life quietly and leave with dignity, rather than endure the torment of dialysis, even though she might not recover in the end.

Her mother, Xu Xia, hired a doctor to come to the coffee shop to take care of her.

Xu Xia rushed over after finishing her work, told the doctor to go rest, helped Wen Kerou into a wheelchair, and pushed her out to see the stars.

Wen Kerou looked up at the stars in the sky.

It's getting cold, and it gets dark very quickly. As soon as it gets dark, the stars come out.

Standing by the sea, the cool sea breeze on her face at night was very refreshing, and she liked that feeling very much.

Her dream used to be to open a coffee shop or barbecue restaurant by the sea with the person she loved, enjoying barbecue and coffee while feeling the sea breeze every day. She wondered how happy she would be.

Unfortunately, this dream will never come true.

She used to think she still had a chance, but now she has no chance at all.

The thought of dying filled her with a fear that washed over her like a tidal wave, engulfing her completely.

Even though she was about to die, she still couldn't completely give up on Fu Zhengting.

The flame of love cannot be extinguished.

Looking at the stars in the sky, all I could think about were the memories of the three years I spent married to Fu Zhengting.

Once a person becomes attached to something, they cannot easily let it go.

She longed for Fu Zhengting to love her, even if only for a day, so that she could experience the feeling of being loved by someone she loved before she died.

Xu Xia felt heartbroken seeing the pain in her daughter's eyes.

As a mother, how could she not know what her daughter was thinking?

She felt sorry for her daughter, but she also resented her daughter's passivity.

At this point, she no longer wanted to scold her daughter for not being brave enough to fight for her love back then.

She wanted to fight for her daughter.

Let my daughter die, at least she can die in peace.

"Ke Rou, Mom will go find Fu Zhengting right now and talk to him to clear things up!"

As she spoke, she turned to leave.

Since the daughter couldn't speak, she took the initiative to do so.

Wen Kerou was startled and quickly grabbed Xu Xia, her voice anxious and pleading, "Mom, please, don't go."

Xu Xia looked at her daughter with disappointment and frustration.

"Ke Rou, it's come to this, don't be so timid, okay? Ah Ting is such a good person, he won't refuse."

Wen Kerou shook her head, her eyes moist. "Mom, don't make things difficult for Fu Zhengting. Just let me... leave with the last shred of dignity!"

I closed my eyes, and glistening tears slid down my cheeks.

True love is never about taking, but about fulfilling.

At least she's gone, and Fu Zhengting has Mu Tiantian by his side.

Mu Tiantian can warm Fu Zhengting's heart and soothe his loneliness with love.

Even if she dies, she can rest in peace.

However, the sorrow in her heart caused her too much pain.

She raised her hand to her heart, trying to calm her grief.

"Ke Rou, my silly child, why are you so foolish?" Xu Xia couldn't bear to see this scene; her heart ached terribly.

She bent down and wiped away the tears that had fallen from her daughter's eyes.

I wiped it away, and tears started falling again.

She remained bent over, holding Wen Kerou's head and pulling her into her arms, allowing her tears to flow onto her clothes.

She had thought countless times about going to see Fu Zhengting on her own, but her daughter was a person with a very strong sense of self-respect, and if she did not respect her daughter's wishes, she would be hurting her daughter.

Once she started crying, the tears flowed uncontrollably.

Adding to the problem, the sea breeze was too cold at night, and Wen Kerou coughed very badly.

Xu Xia quickly pushed Wen Kerou back into the coffee shop, poured her warm water and slowly fed her the medicine. She finally managed to recover.

Xu Xia looked at her daughter's increasingly thin face, which was so pale and haggard.

It looks terrifying.

She was so heartbroken that she cried.

The thought of her beloved daughter leaving her soon filled her with fear and an inability to accept this cruel reality.

Wen Kerou felt very guilty. She was most afraid of seeing her mother like this. She hadn't fulfilled her filial duty much before she was about to leave this world.

She was so unwilling.

But what can we do?

Humans are too insignificant to resist fate.

It wasn't until I was about to leave this world that I realized there were still so many things I hadn't had time to do.

There are also some things I want to say to Mu Tiantian.

Before leaving, she hoped to see Mu Tiantian one last time.
