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

The moment Xu Xia saw Fu Zhengting, she stopped crying.

She suddenly felt ashamed of her behavior of complaining behind someone's back.

Ah Shen must be wondering why he didn't explain things to him face-to-face, but instead spoke ill of him behind his back after Ah Shen had promised his daughter and fulfilled his promise.

She was also in pain and conflicted.

She knew she shouldn't blame Fu Zhengting, but she just couldn't help complaining.

She opened her mouth, wanting to explain to Fu Zhengting.

She just wanted to vent to make herself feel better.

Otherwise, it would be too uncomfortable to have that lump in my throat.

But when I open my mouth, I don't know how to organize my thoughts.

Fu Zhengting felt a tightness in his chest, but he didn't blame Xu Xia.

He blamed himself.

He felt that Xu Xia was right.

If we really want to trace the source, then he is the biggest source.

If he had discovered Wen Kerou's feelings earlier and used his wisdom to make her give up on him, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

He didn't have the courage to go in and face Xu Xia, his former mother-in-law.

Turned around and left.

Looking at Fu Zhengting's lonely figure, Xu Xia felt so sad that tears fell again.

She is a sinner.

It's truly despicable to say something like that.

Ah Shen happened to arrive at that moment and overheard it.

Ah Shen must be feeling incredibly guilty right now.

Fu Zhenlong followed Xu Xia's gaze and saw Fu Zhengting.

I don't know when my son arrived, or if he heard what he just said to explain things to him.

He wanted to rush out to comfort his son, but felt that nothing he said would make a difference at this moment.

It will only make your son feel worse.

It would be better to let my son have some peace and quiet.

He noticed that Mu Tiantian had also arrived.

Now that Mu Tiantian is by his side, his son no longer needs his comfort.

I used to hate Mu Tiantian, but now I'm glad my son has Mu Tiantian by his side.

Otherwise, my son will be too lonely.

Xu Xia also noticed Mu Tiantian.

She didn't know how to face her daughter, her rival in love.

Mu Tiantian was worried about Fu Zhengting. She glanced at him and noticed that Xu Xia and Fu Zhenlong were watching her, so she had to look away and look at the two people inside.

She gave Anan a look.

Anan understood and went after Fu Zhengting.

Mu Tiantian pushed open the ward door and went in. Standing by the bedside, she sincerely said to Xu Xia, "Aunt Xu, please accept my condolences!"

Xu Xia met Mu Tiantian's sincere gaze and suddenly realized that her earlier complaints had seemed very harsh.

Even Mu Tiantian can come to see her, the mother of her rival in love, so what else does she have to complain about?

She saw sadness in Mu Tiantian's eyes.

It was a sadness that came from the bottom of one's heart.

It's clear that Mu Tiantian is truly heartbroken over her daughter's passing.

She nodded slightly in response.

Mu Tiantian didn't dislike Xu Xia at all because of Xu Xia's complaints about Fu Zhengting.

Although Wen Kerou doesn't get Fu Zhengting's love, she has a mother who loves her very much.

She confessed, "Ah Shen and I went to the coffee shop, and I saw Ke Rou's notebook on the table. I know she left it for me to see before she left!"

Xu Xia recalled that when her daughter used to be home, every time she knocked on the door to bring fruit, she would see her daughter sitting at the table writing something.

Upon hearing footsteps, I immediately closed the notebook.

She asked curiously, "What did that silly girl write on it?"

Fu Zhenlong stared intently at Mu Tiantian; he wanted to know too.

Mu Tiantian took a deep breath, trying not to choke up, "She said if there is a heaven, she will be there to watch over me and Fu Zhengting. Her biggest wish is that Fu Zhengting will be happy..."

Xu Xia's tears started falling again. "That silly girl, how could she be so foolish!"

I've cried until my tears are all gone, my voice is hoarse, and the world seems dark.

She was too exhausted to speak, and turned her head away, unwilling to see anyone.

Fu Zhenlong knew he couldn't say anything to upset Xu Xia at this point, so he continued to stay by her bedside.

Mu Tiantian couldn't bear to see such a scene; it reminded her of when Jiang Hui was sick.

She whispered to Fu Zhenlong, "I'm going to check on Ashen."

Then he turned and left, considerately closing the ward door behind him.

A rare quiet returned to the ward. Xu Xia squeezed her eyes shut, unable to cry anymore.

Mu Tiantian first searched along the aisle in the middle of the ward.

Finally, after searching to the very back, I saw Fu Zhengting.

He stood by the window, gazing down.

That figure looked lonely.

A surge of intense pity welled up within her, and she slowly walked over.

Anan, who had been silently accompanying Fu Zhengting, tactfully gave his seat to Mu Tiantian.

His steps were light and slow, as if he were afraid of disturbing Fu Zhengting.

Mu Tiantian stood where Anan had been standing, without saying a word.

All she could do was stay by his side.

She stood beside Fu Zhengting, looking into the distance with him.

In the hospital, she witnessed too much suffering and the pain of separation and death.

This is unavoidable.

Everyone has to go through this.

"Ah Shen, do you know? When Jiang Hui was first hospitalized, there was an uncle in her ward who jumped off the hospital building because he couldn't afford treatment and didn't want to burden his family..."

She told Fu Zhengting what she had seen and heard.

Then she grabbed Fu Zhengting's hand, her two small hands holding his large palm.

His arms were strong and powerful; holding his hand like this, you could feel how strong it was.

Fu Zhengting finally came to his senses and turned to look at her.

"Do you know how cruel that scene was? It's a cruelty that rich people can never understand. At that moment, I thought, 'If only I were a rich person, I could help that old man, and he wouldn't have to die!'"

As she recounted the events of that time, Mu Tiantian unconsciously tightened her grip on Fu Zhengting's hand, holding it firmly.

If she had run a little faster, she might have been able to catch the old man.

But what good is it if you manage to hold on?

At that time, she herself was already in such a difficult situation, so she couldn't help the uncle at all.

She had compassion, but no ability to help others.

"I just watched the man jump off the building and die. At that moment, I was so afraid that Jiang Hui would die too!"

She didn't want to relive that fear.

Fu Zhengting sensed Mu Tiantian's fear and pulled her into his arms, pressing her head down. "Tiantian, don't be afraid. You've met me. Jiang Hui has come back to life."

Mu Tiantian's fear vanished instantly, and she nestled affectionately against Fu Zhengting's chest, saying, "Yes, it's so fortunate that I met you."

Fu Zhengting held Mu Tiantian tightly, his hand constantly stroking her hair, afraid that she might still be scared.
