“Eat some more.”
“I have had enough.” She fell back in bed.
“Lu Zhaoyang! Get up and eat some more! Look at yourself. Do you know how skinny you are now?”
Huo Yunting could not hold back his anger and raised his voice.
“How could I look at myself when I cannot even see?” Lu Zhaoyang sat back up. Her voice was soft but the heaving of her chest gave her emotions away.

Huo Yunting sneered. His exasperation turned into anger and all his suppressed emotions exploded at once.
“Stop playing victim to gain sympathy. You just need to see your current situation as retribution, and it will not be difficult to accept. Is it not?”
“What retribution? What have I done to deserve such retribution?” She was flustered and asked. His words were even chiller than the darkness. “What does this mean?”
“Is it not? After you went to see mom, she killed herself. Is this not retribution now?”
Why did she still want to act innocent when he already learned about it?
“I...” Lu Zhaoyang choked. She turned her head in the direction of his voice. “Do you think that I deliberately killed Aunt Qiu? Am I that kind of woman in your eyes? I just went to see her hoping to repair our relationship. I have never thought of harming her!”
Huo Yunting suddenly got to his feet. His cold expression sent a chill up her spine. “I dare you to tell me that it was not because of you saying something that agitated and threw her out of control. If you dare to say that, I will believe it!”
Lu Zhaoyang could still vividly remember what happened that day. It was indeed her saying something that worsened Aunt Qiu’s condition. She could not deny it.
She choked while Huo Yunting ruthlessly sneered at her.
It was almost inaudible but Lu Zhaoyang’s sharp hearing still captured his snicker.
“Trust me, I really did not mean it!”
Lu Zhaoyang knew that Huo Yunting would not listen in the current situation, let alone believing what she said. But she still could not help wanting to explain herself; she did not wish Huo Yunting to unjustly accuse her.
Her indifference all this time was only because she thought that she was indirectly to blame for hurting Aunt Qiu, little did she expect that Huo Yunting would believe that she did it on purpose.
Seeing her looking back and forth as if she was finding where he was. Huo Yunting suddenly realized that it was not the right time to talk about this.
“Do you still eat or not?” He steered away from the topic abruptly.

Huo Yunting swept everything on the table to the floor and left. “Take it or leave it!”
Lu Zhaoyang was rooted on the spot. Her surroundings went quiet again as the door was slammed shut.
She sat for a long time and only lay down when her back could not hold it anymore.
Her unfocused eyes were slightly open and looking in the direction of the ceiling, her face looking befuddled.
Was she an evil woman in his eyes? She asked herself.
Tears flowed down her cheeks into her hair. No one knew, and no one cared.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open. Lu Zhaoyang thought that Huo Yunting had come back in. She immediately covered herself in the quilt with her back facing the door, not letting him see her tears.
“Miss Lu, I am your nurse. It is Mr. Huo who hired me to take care of you. Are you asleep?” A gentle female voice was heard saying.
It was not Huo Yunting.
