In the hospital room, Zhuang Xiyue accompanied Zhuang Fanxing. It wasn’t long before Zhuang Fanxing got tired and lay down, asking, "Where is Xi’er?"

Zhuang Xiyue smiled and said, "There’s something at the company, she’ll be here soon."

The phone had been ringing all morning without a trace of her kid. Where had she gone?

Despite the anxiety in her heart, it didn’t show on her face.

Zhuang Fanxing was somewhat disappointed, not knowing why she now urgently wanted to see Xi’er.

She raised her hand to her chest, an uneasy feeling spreading in her heart.

"Sister, get some rest. When you wake up, Xi’er will come to see you."

Zhuang Fanxing held Zhuang Xiyue’s hand and gently said, "Yueyue, you’re a blessed person. I’ve spent my life in a daze, troubling our parents and you. In the future, please look after our parents."

"Sister, what are you saying? I don’t know if I’m blessed, but as the saying goes, ’having survived a great disaster, there must be blessings in the future.’ Sister, you’re more blessed than I am. Please don’t say such things again. I was afraid our parents couldn’t bear the news of your illness, so I never told them. Once you recover, we’ll go home together. They’re always hoping you can come back."

Zhuang Fanxing’s eyes were slightly wet, nodding with a smile, "Alright, if I can get better, I’ll go home and stay with our parents. I won’t go anywhere else."

Zhuang Xiyue frowned slightly, feeling something was amiss. Before she could think further, she heard Zhuang Fanxing look out the window and suddenly say, "Yueyue, I’ve been dreaming lately, dreaming that he’s come to find me. He’s blaming me..."

Zhuang Xiyue’s heart skipped a beat. That "he" could only be that person.

The one her sister longed for, regretted, and resented for a lifetime.

Even though her sister seemed calm and composed, and her independent feminist thoughts influenced a generation of women in Country Hua, deep down, she had never let go.

If you’ve ever loved someone deeply, you’ll know how hard it is to let go.

Her sister was just human, but she was more resilient than most, never easily revealing her wounds.

"Sister, it’s all in the past. Don’t think about it anymore." Zhuang Xiyue looked at the pale woman in front of her with heartache.

Zhuang Fanxing’s mouth curved into a gentle smile, making her look so beautiful, "He told me to wait for him, but in the end, I still didn’t wait for him. Was it he who betrayed me, or I who betrayed him?"

Zhuang Xiyue shook her head, eyes red, and said, "Sister, please stop talking...."

"Heh heh...." Crystal tears slid from the corners of her eyes, "It was he who betrayed me, and I also betrayed him. We broke our vows to each other...."

Zhuang Xiyue only felt heartache.

Back then, her sister went abroad to study and met a Chinese man, a talented, elegant gentleman of great beauty. They bonded over a book, two lonely souls finding warmth in each other, believing that the other was their one true soulmate in life. Such feelings couldn’t be described with impoverished words of mutual understanding and beauty.

They deeply loved each other, their souls becoming one. She still remembered that time when her sister, across the ocean, told her over the phone with a girlish, coquettish voice that she had found him, the man who could accompany her all her life.

Maybe because she lost her parents young, her sister was more mature and sensible than others. For the first time, she heard irrepressible joy in her sister’s voice, and she sincerely wished her sister happiness.

Those years of studying abroad must have been the most beautiful days of her sister’s life.

Later, her sister returned to the country after graduation. She always planned her life carefully, never making impulsive decisions based on emotions. That man also intended to expand his career, but his focus did not include Country Hua. So, they made an agreement to focus on their careers for three years, after which they could be together without any worries.

She was too confident in their relationship, so in those three years, they only exchanged a few phone calls, met briefly a few times, then hurriedly parted to focus on their careers. She firmly believed that that person was like her, even if they were separated by an ocean, their hearts would always be together.

Three years later, she became the highest-paid bestselling author in Country Hua, her works sold worldwide, her name and thoughts thoroughly influencing a generation of women. Her career had reached unparalleled success.

When the agreed day arrived, she dressed in the most beautiful clothes, applied the most exquisite makeup, and stood in her most beautiful stance to greet his arrival.
