Dark clouds pressed down layer by layer, and the light became dimmer and dimmer. Thunder rumbled in the sky. It was summer, and it looked like a heavy rain was coming.
Su Hanyi stood outside the iron gate and looked at everything inside with hatred. She had no intention of leaving." Doughty, you're despicable. I, Su Hanyi, swear that as long as I'm alive, I won't let you off!"”Her pale hands grabbed the iron door. There was no blood in them. She held the iron door so tightly that Lesley could even hear the cracking of her knuckles.
" It's going to rain. You should go back first…" Lesley walked over and said to Su Hanyi through the iron door.
"Don't even think about it! If I can't take Wheatley away, I definitely won't leave!”Su Hanyi stared at Lesley. She saw her as one of Doughty's accomplices and wanted to cut Lesley into pieces.
She had only seen the hatred in her eyes five years ago. Back then, when she mistakenly thought that Su Ran was seducing Chen Linhao, she had also been so resentful. Su Hanyi used to care about Chen Linhao the most, but now she cared about her four-year-old son the most. In the past five years, he had changed, and so had Su Hanyi.
The rain poured down, and in the blink of an eye, the world was covered in a vast expanse of rain and fog. The sound of the rain covered all the sounds around them.
Su Hanyi's silk dress was soaked in the rain and stuck to her body. Her wine-red curly hair had also dimmed in the rain. She stood outside the iron gate and looked at the white building of the orphanage. She thought of Doughty's pride and felt indignant.
"Su Hanyi, you should go back. There are still many days ahead. You will find a chance to take Wheatley away…"
Lesley looked at the drenched and battered woman outside the iron gate. She even suspected that she was having a dream because of her hatred for Su Hanyi. Su Hanyi was the daughter of the LM board of directors, and she had been able to do whatever she wanted since she was young. How could someone as proud as her end up like this? She couldn't bear to watch any longer. She couldn't bear to see a person who had once been glorious in such a sorry state. Lesley couldn't help but laugh at herself. She was indeed soft-hearted. Facing Su Hanyi's pain, she didn't feel happy. Instead, she felt sad for her. Perhaps it was because they used to be sisters, even though that relationship only made her feel inferior and humiliated.
" Don't stay here in the rain. Go back. I promise you that I'll do my best to take care of Wheatley before you find a chance to take her away..." Lesley stood in the heavy rain, drenched from head to toe.
"You?" Su Hanyi glanced at Lesley with suspicion and surprise.
Lesley nodded." Don't worry, I'll protect that child. When I have the chance, I'll definitely take him away from here and let you and your son reunite…" Her eyes were as clear as the rain falling from the sky.
"Why are you helping me? Why should I believe you?" Su Hanyi found it hard to believe that Lesley, who was not related to her, would say such a thing. Raindrops gathered on her forehead and trickled down her cheeks. Her face was filled with shock and doubt.
" It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. If you insist on telling me the reason why I helped you, just take it as pity…" Lesley smiled faintly and slowly turned around.
Just take it as pity-just take it as pity…
She didn't know why, but when she said this, all the hatred in her heart disappeared. Just treat it as pity. Perhaps, pity was better than revenge for those who had hated her.
"I, Su Han, don't need anyone's pity!”Su Hanyi felt a lump in her throat, and tears rolled out of her eyes. She couldn't tell the difference between tears and rain in the heavy rain. Su Hanyi had never shed tears, but when someone said that they would pity her, she suddenly felt that something had shattered all her pride. The scene of her private club being violated, the scene of her drinking and laughing in the demon cave, all the images flew like snowflakes, spinning and turning into surging waves...
" I don't need anyone's pity…" She leaned against the rusty iron door and slowly squatted on the ground. A mocking smile appeared on her face. It was a smile that was so pale that it almost broke down with tears…
"Mommy-I want mommy..."
In the room of the orphanage, Wheatley was crying in Jinzi's arms. Tears gathered on his round cheeks and formed a stream.
Jinzi tried her best to coax him, but Wheatley had no intention of resting. His two small hands kept hitting Jinzi, trying to break free from her embrace.
There were two figures in the corridor outside the room. They were watching everything that was happening in the room through the window.
" I think you should give the child back to that woman..." Sunflower, who was wearing a rabbit cartoon mask, said to Doughty beside her.
" You're too soft-hearted…" Doughty looked at Sunflower with tenderness and pity in his eyes." You're too kind, that's why you're in this state…"
" Don't mention the past again…" Sunflower turned her head away. The mask covered her ruined face, making it impossible to see her expression. However, the only pair of eyes that were exposed were filled with pain. She did not want to mention what had happened to her in the past, nor did she want to think about it. She took a few steps forward and prepared to leave.
Seeing her sad back, Doughty knew that he had said something wrong just now. He wanted to make up for it, so he said anxiously," I'm sorry, I…" He stopped halfway because he didn't know how to comfort the person in front of him. He loved her, but all these years, he had never understood her. He had always been praised as an extremely intelligent and unpredictable person, but in front of her, he always seemed clumsy and stupid. He didn't even know where to start with simple words.
" You didn't do anything wrong to me..." Sunflower stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Doolittle. Her eyes were as clear as water." If it weren't for your care and shelter all these years, I'm afraid I would have died without even a corpse left..."
There seemed to be nothing wrong with her words, but the sadness and sadness in her tone could not escape Doughty's ears.
" Although you're alive, everyone can see that you're not happy..." Doughty's eyes were filled with pity and even some unwillingness." It's fine that I didn't get your heart, but I couldn't even make you happy. I only feel that I'm a failure..."
" No matter what, I still have to thank you…" The face under the mask seemed to be smiling, and the corners of his lips curved into a desolate arc. She silently turned around again, and her lonely figure slowly left the corridor.
Thank you-thank you…
Doughty's heart suddenly ached. Such polite words were always the last thing he wanted to hear. The thank you coming from her mouth was like an invisible wall between the two of them, an insurmountable wall. Even though he had tried his best to treat her sincerely, he still couldn't get close to her. No matter how much time had passed, no matter how things in the world changed, her actions always reminded him that it was impossible between them. He really missed that carefree girl. He swore that he would use all means to cure her face and win her heart!
What else is there for a woman like me to be worthy of your love? I have nothing, and even this face is so terrible that it can't be seen in the light---Why do you, the dignified heir of the Qin Tianhua, have to spend so much effort on me? I'm just someone who can't see hope and is hiding in this orphanage waiting for death.
Kui walked step by step, listening to the sound of the rain outside. Her eyes stared at the ground in a daze. What had supported her to survive for so long? She really wanted to know why she was still living in this world with this broken body. Was it because Doolittle didn't want her to die, or was it because she still had that faint and impossible hope to return to that person's side?
That person was smiling brightly in her mind, but in the blink of an eye, it was dark. She saw herself, that ugly and unsightly face that had been destroyed, smiling at her in horror!
Why did the heavens treat her like this? She clearly loved someone deeply, but she did not dare to face him anymore…
She was overwhelmed with despair and closed her eyes tightly.
"Kui…"
Lesley's voice pulled her back from her nightmarish thoughts.
Sunflower looked up and saw that Lesley had already come up from downstairs.
" Sunflower, there's something I hope you can promise me…" Lesley put her hands on Sunflower's shoulders, her eyes full of desire.
"What is it?" She hid the cold sweat that had just appeared on her palms and tried to calm herself down.
"Wheatley, can you let me take care of you in the future?”Lesley stared at Sunflower, hoping that she would agree immediately. Looking at the situation today, although she still did not understand the grudge between the Su family and Doughty, she was still very worried that Doughty would hurt that innocent child.
" Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that…" Sunflower hesitated.
"But what?" Lesley stared at Sunflower's expression and was a little anxious.
" Mr. Dao has already stipulated that only Jinzi can take care of the child now..." Kui replied.
"Why? Aren't you the principal of this orphanage? Don't tell me your words don't count?" Lesley was a little surprised. Why did the people in the orphanage always have to listen to Crowe's orders?
Sunflower sighed and felt helpless." I know you sympathize with the mother and son, but Mr. Dao is the owner of this orphanage. He's in charge of everything here…"
Lesley's expression froze in shock. Doughty was actually the owner of Mirror Creek Lake Orphanage. Apart from being the chief designer of LK, he actually had such an identity. This person seemed to be related to everything around her. She suddenly felt a sense of destiny between her and Doughty. Although they didn't seem to have any relationship or important interactions, she couldn't explain why her strong sixth sense told her that Doughty and Han Shaoyuan were destined to be together.
" Although I can't let you take care of Wheatley, you can rest assured that Jinzi is a good person. I believe she will take good care of the child..." Sunflower patted Lesley's shoulder and walked around her.
