“I never believed that my mother would not love any of her children. Most mothers in the world are like that.”
The pain surged through her wound again, but Mei Shu gritted her teeth and continued, “Whether you believe it or not, I’m going to finish what 1 have to say. I’m not going to settle accounts with you, but I will investigate the debts between you, Lu Si, and his mother until 1 uncover the truth.”
Su Ling stared at her resentfully, wishing she could bore a hole through her with her eyes. “Mind your own business.”
Mei Shu ignored her, her body trembling slightly from the intense pain.
Lu Si hurriedly lifted her up and began walking towards the ship.
His face remained tense all the way, only when they were alone in the room did he speak in a low voice, “Do you know something again, something hidden from others, like you knew about my grandfather’s past?”
Mei Shu pursed her lips, sitting up on the bed, calmly nodding. “Yes, but what I know is not comprehensive, so it’s not wise to reveal everything and startle the snake.”
Lu Si lowered his gaze, concealing a layer of gloom inside, “Can you tell me if my mother’s death years ago had anything to do with Su Ling?”
Mei Shu didn’t expect him to ask directly.
Just now, in front of Su Ling, she deliberately avoided mentioning it, fearing that Lu Si would lose his composure.
The long silence in the room seemed like confirmation.
Lu Si’s hand on his knee suddenly clenched, his voice filled with imminent anger, “Many years ago, my parents took Su Ling and another man to a small island abroad. In the end, my parents perished in the sea, leaving only Su Ling and her male companion to return. She said it was indeed an accident, and even claimed that my mother died trying to save her!”
“Ahsi, I don’t know about this. Don’t get agitated for now. We can investigate the details of the man who was with Su Ling back then when we return.” Mei Shu tried to calm his emotions.
Seeing her concern, Lu Si smiled helplessly, “You’re still worried about me. You’ll need a long time to recover from this injury. After we return this time, you must stay in the hospital for treatment obediently, no more running around like last time.”
Mei Shu obediently nestled back into the blanket, holding his hand. “Has Jianghai been found?”
“The doctors are treating him; there shouldn’t be any life-threatening danger.” Lu Si gently tucked her in. “Right now, you only need to worry about your own injuries.”
Hearing his words, Mei Shu finally felt a little better. “Let’s go back now. 1 don’t want to stay here anymore. Moreover, it’s not appropriate to put Feng Wei’s body here for too long. I have to give Ms. Feng an explanation.”
Lu Si softly “hmmed,” reluctantly agreeing, helping her adjust the blanket before sighing softly. “Go to sleep.”
Mei Shu didn’t say anything more, quietly closing her eyes.
Lu Si watched her breathing gradually steady in silence, then leaned down, tenderly kissing her lips, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”
This gentle apology dissipated into the sound of the ship’s horn.
Mei Shu slept in the hospital for a full three days.
In just a few days of disappearance, she experienced countless life-threatening moments. Her body was too exhausted, which was why she remained unconscious.
To outsiders, she was just sleeping soundly in her hospital bed.
But only she knew that for the past three days, she had been trapped in an inescapable dream, unable to find a way out.
In the dream, she seemed to have arrived at Hacker F’s villa, where dazzling electronic screens flashed everywhere.
Curious, Mei Shu went to look, only to realize that the screens were displaying her past life.
The first screen was playing the happiest moments of her childhood in her previous life.
Mei Shu’s breath caught, hurriedly leaning closer to the screen. After seeing the clear face on the screen, her gaze softened with affection.
After so many years, she never thought she could still see her mother alive on screen.
In the picture, Bai Ling was sitting elegantly at the piano, playing her favorite melody.
And little Mei Shu was sitting on a small chair beside, idly playing with the cat by her feet.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded outside the window. Little Mei Shu’s eyes brightened, excitedly sitting up, but after a glance from Bai Ling, she slumped back down despondently.
“Mom.” Mei Shu touched her mother’s cheek through the screen, longing evident in her eyes. However, the next second, the screen flickered with snowflakes.
Mei Shu was shocked and anxious, tapping the computer screen repeatedly, trying to replay the previous scene. She wanted to see her mother’s face again.
But after waiting for a long time, the snowflakes on the screen remained unchanged. Disappointed, she reluctantly withdrew her hand and continued to walk silently towards the next screen.
There, it was showing her time in the countryside, once when she was teased by village kids, left alone in the deep mountains unable to find her way out, until Chu Rui found her and brought her back home, even giving her a warm bath..
