Xu Weilai had no idea when Gu Yu would return. But Gu Yu’s recent torment of her had put her in a state of extreme nervousness and anxiety. The slightest sound at home was enough to trigger her panic.

Back when Gu Yu never came back, she had harbored that small string of hope that he would return. But now, his mere shadow was enough to frighten her.

She did still like him, but she could no longer endure his heartless acts of humiliation and degradation.

She did not want to remain in the apartment any longer, for fear that Gu Yu would return at any time and subject her to further intolerable harm.

After Mr. Xu’s surgery, he recuperated in the hospital for a fortnight. He was being discharged on this day, and Xu Weilai headed to the hospital to pick him up. With the excuse that she wanted to spend more time with him, she followed her parents back to the Xu residence.

Mr. Xu’s discharge from the hospital, coupled with Xu Weilai’s recent marriage to Gu Yu, put Mrs. Xu in extremely high spirits. She tended to the kitchen personally and prepared a table full of scrumptious food.

Joyous events frequently elevated the soul. Xu Weilai’s father was cheerful the whole night. If not for the fact that his health did not permit him to drink, he would have happily indulged.

After dinner, Xu Weilai took a walk with her father for a while before sitting down to watch some television. However, he was no longer as energetic as before and retired early to his bedroom to rest.

When Mrs. Xu was done with her ch.o.r.es in the kitchen, she came out and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past nine.

She saw that Xu Weilai had no intention to leave, and pestered, “Weilai, it’s getting late. You should go back soon. Don’t keep Yu waiting!”

Go back…
