After speaking, Mrs. Li went upstairs. She had to stop the police outside.
Lin Qingtian took Lin Xiaomi who was in a coma into a ward near him.
All people in the corridor were panicked and did what Mrs. Li instructed them to,
leaving Xue Haolin alone. He just stood stock-still there, tightly holding the bloodstained goldfish.
Lin Xiaomi’s eyes full of hatred kept flashing in his mind.
He felt that something important to him was fading away.
But he even had no chance to retrieve it.
When Lin Xiaomi woke up, it was three days later.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the dazzling white in the room.
Her mind was also blank.
Tang Fengmo saw her wake up and asked joyfully, “Xiaomi, you awake? How are you feeling now? Anywhere uncomfortable?”
Lin Xiaomi slowly looked at him, and she blinked before she recognized who it was in front of her.
At the same time, her memories gradually came back.
“Grandma, where’s my grandma? I’m going to find my grandma.” Lin Xiaomi suddenly sat up and threw back the quilt to get out of bed.
Tang Fengmo felt pity for her but he reached out and stopped her, “Xiaomi, don’t do this. The doctor said that you were over-stimulated and you must have a good rest now. Your grandma had passed away. You have been in a trance for three days and she was interred.”
Lin Xiaomi looked at him in disbelief. She stared at him with hatred, and grabbed his neckline, “Cut the crap! My grandma is not dead. If you curse her one more time, I’ll kill you!”
She kept hitting Tang Fengmo with her fist.
He looked at her with sadness, bearing it silently, and suddenly reached out to embrace her into his arms.
Lin Xiaomi screamed with all her strength, “Why did they do this to me! Why! I didn’t even see my grandma for the last time. Why! Grandma did nothing wrong. She was innocent.”
For nearly thirty years, Tang Fengmo had been emotionless. In his eyes, women had always been the spice of life. He would leave them when he felt the novelty of them was worn off.
He wouldn’t have affection in any woman.
This was the first time that he had felt so distressed, even if he had got nothing from her and perhaps she hadn’t even looked him in the eyes.
He knew it well that he loved dearly the little woman in front of him.
Feeling the sudden weight on his arm, he bowed his head in a panic. Lin Xiaomi had fainted in his arms, with tears on her face.
He quickly called the doctor.
The doctor scolded in displeasure, “I said it. Don’t let the patient be stimulated anymore! Why did she faint as soon as waking up? The patient needs peace and quietness.”
After the doctor left, Tang Fengmo sat by the bed and continued to care for her.
In the ward, there were only he and Xiaomi. Only at this time did Tang Fengmo dare to get close to her and wipe her tears with his fingertips.
He really did not expect that such a crazy thing would happen to her.
The word “family” was more horrifying to her than the devil.
When Lin Xiaomi woke up again, it was already night. Tang Fengmo leaned on the sofa with an uncomfortable posture.
Waking up again, Lin Xiaomi had calmed down a lot. She looked at Tang Fengmo, who was obviously not asleep.
She couldn’t help bursting into tears again.
Tang Fengmo didn’t fall asleep, and the slight sound woke him up. When he saw Lin Xiaomi woke up, he stepped forward and asked quietly, “Are you thirsty? Would you like to drink some water?”
Lin Xiaomi saw several scratches on his face, especially on his chin.
She thought that she must have scratched him when she woke up during the day and went mad.
“Why are you here?”
Tang Fengmo found she had calmed down and secretly sighed with relief, “Ah? Have you lost your memory? We just saw each other during the day. Should I call the doctor?”
Lin Xiaomi knew he was pleasing her intentionally, but at this time, she really was not in the mood to laugh.
“I didn’t lose my memory. I just want to ask why I’m in the hospital and why you’re here.” She had thought she would die, but it was clear that she hadn’t changed her heart with Lin Xin’er.
Tang Fengmo pulled a chair and sat by the bed, and told her softly, “It was Lin Hai who told me before that you were in danger and let me bring the police there. When I arrived, you were found unconscious in that institute. Then, people in the Lin family said that you fainted because of your grandma’s accident. They sent you to the hospital and left, and I stayed.”
“They were lying! They were murderers. They were the greatest devils!” Lin Xiaomi now couldn’t help trembling at the thought of the Lin family.
“Lin Hai, is he…” Lin Xiaomi bit her lips and her voice choked.
Tang Fengmo opened his mouth, but just shook his head.
Lin Xiaomi couldn’t bear it, covered her head in the quilt, and cried out loudly.
After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice in the quilt, “Tomorrow, can you take me to see my grandma?”
Tang Fengmo quickly answered, “Okay.”

In Xue Haolin’s apartment.
Mrs. Xue knew from his assistant that Xue Haolin had such an apartment near Sheng Shi Company.
Mrs. Xue had been out of contact with Xue Haolin for three days. He didn’t return home or go to the company. Mrs. Xue had no other way but to find and go to this place.
The assistant opened the door of the apartment. It was dark inside. The smell of alcohol fulfilled the whole room and the pungent smell made Mrs. Xue step backward.
The assistant turned on the light, and the room suddenly became bright.
Mrs. Xue walked in. There were all messy wine bottles and broken glass. Mrs. Xue finally found Xue Haolin at the back of the sofa, who looked very haggard with beard on his face.
She didn’t know if he was asleep or had drunk to death. At this moment, he was lying on the ground, with a bottle of vodka grasped in his hand.
Mrs. Xue was frightened and took a deep breath. She quickly came forward and gently pushed him, “Haolin? Haolin!”
After her calling for a while, Xue Haolin had the response and slowly opened his eyes. The light was so dazzling that he immediately raised his hand to block it. He glanced at Mrs. Xue in front of him, struggling to get up from the ground. He then leaned against the back of the sofa, grabbed the bottle, and raised his head to drink, but the bottle was empty.
He impatiently fumbled around, one bottle after another. As soon as he found a bottle with wine, he opened it and poured the wine into his mouth.
“Haolin!” Mrs. Xue snatched the bottle in his hand with disbelief. This drunk and scruffy man in front of her shouldn’t be her proud son.
She gently supported Xue Haolin, as if she was afraid of scaring him, and asked distressed, “Son, what happened? Tell me what happened. Why did you treat yourself like this!”
Xue Haolin laughed bitterly in a low voice, and his eyes were scarlet, as if blood would drip from within.
He said nothing, grabbed a bottle of wine randomly, and continued pouring wine into his mouth.
After speaking, Mrs. Li went upstairs. She had to stop the police outside.
Lin Qingtian took Lin Xiaomi who was in a coma into a ward near him.
