nThe doctor had said that her health was not good and her progesterone level was low. But she had been eating well the whole time. It was just that every time she ate something, she would puke it back out.

nSo how could she retain any nutrition?

nAlthough she knew this, she still looked back with stubbornness.

n“Are you using the child to threaten me? Are you afraid that I won’t eat properly and that I won’t be able to atone for my sins? Or are you afraid that I’ll starve to death and not be able to take care of your mother?”

nShi Yuting’s heart ached again as he looked at her.

nAfter a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, “You think what you like.”

nIndeed, he didn’t want to lose this child again. He only hoped that she and the child would be fine.

nHis words once again stung her heart.

nShe looked up and tears instantly filled her eyes. Her heart was in extreme pain.

nHer gaze fell on the food in his hand. Without thinking, she reached out and forcefully grabbed the rice bowl before throwing it onto the ground.

nBang!

nThe rice bowl instantly shattered into pieces and food spilled all over the ground.

nShi Yuting looked down at the mess. It took him a moment to look back at her.

n“The woman you saw is the heir to the royal family of A Country. She came to C Country just to discuss about the cooperation between the two countries,” he said calmly after a long while.

nZuo Weiyi was taken aback by his sudden words. But she did not respond.

nShe was not interested in his national affairs.

nThat woman? The heir to a royal family?

nWhat did he mean?

n“You saw me riding in the same car with her because she went to the hospital to visit Mom out of courtesy. As for the kiss you saw at the entrance of the restaurant…that was just the way the people of her country bid farewell. ”

nHe had heard a little about the way A Country say their goodbyes.

nHowever, she should not have done such a thing to the opposite sex as a person of such a noble status.

nSince she had already returned to her country, he did not bother to probe further as to why Miss Manli had done such a thing to him.

nHearing this, Zuo Weiyi was stunned again.

nJust a way to say goodbye?

nHer expression turned cold as she turned her head away. “You don’t have to explain this to me anymore.”

nShi Yuting looked at her stubborn and cold face.

n“You can leave. I want to be alone.” She lay down and turned her back to him.

nAfter staring at her back for a while, Shi Yuting turned around and left the room.

nHearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Zuo Weiyi’s heart became exceptionally calm.

nNot long after, a maid came in and cleaned up the mess on the ground.

nIt was late at night.

nOn the stairs, Shi Nuannuan looked at her brother who was smoking calmly on the sofa in the living room.

nHe rarely smoked. She had only seen him once or twice when he was young.

nThe lights in the living room were only from a small lamp. In the dim light, Shi Yuting sat on the sofa deep in thought, smoking cigarette after cigarette.

nShi Nuannuan knew very well that the pain in her brother’s heart was no less than that of her sister-in-law.

nShe really wanted to comfort her brother, but in the end, she returned to her own room and prepared to go to the hospital to accompany her mother. She also knew very well that no matter how she comforted him, it would not solve the pain and trouble in his heart.

nIt was 11:10 p.m.

nIn the bedroom, Zuo Weiyi sat up from the bed, Shi Yuting’s words ringing in her ears.
