"Why can't they let me go? I have done everything for them! I sacrificed everything, and I gave them everything, even my own eyes, kidneys, blood, liver, and even bone marrow! I gave them all the inheritance... I betrayed the only person who ever loved me! Why are you doing this to me? Why do they have to do this to me? " Zhou Yuxi, who was blind and crippled, crawled through the floor, she didn't know where to head or where to move to, but she was determined to crawl forward.
She was determined to end this kind of life! She was determined to crawl to the end; she wanted to end all these miseries.
"Just go on as you are going! Your end is just there... Just nearby, go on..." She could hear that voice that she wasn't familiar with and couldn't decipher if it was a female or male! But why was that voice telling her the end was just close by?
Did this mean that she just needed to crawl forward, and she would get to the end?
She struggled but kept moving until she felt she was at the edge of the unknown floor; she didn't stop but crawled forward, only to fall.
"Nooooo! Don't..." She could hear that familiar voice trying to stop her but it was a tad bit too late. She opened her crippled hands, trying to feel the fresh air while she wildly smiled, feeling relief.
She felt a sudden surge of liberation and was ready to embrace the after-life; the only thing she had in mind was regret, regret for not giving her Uncle the same love he had given her, the same loyalty he had given her... She regrets not reciprocating his feelings, she regrets minding about the society, she regrets betraying him, and she regrets she couldn't say goodbye to him.
"I'm sorry Uncle! I can't keep going on like this!" She couldn't hold on! She couldn't live in the shadows. She couldn't drag him down any longer, she had done enough damage that not even her life could redeem her terrible deeds.
She suddenly felt her body engulfed in a warm embrace before a heavy thud echoed in her eardrums. They had taken time to fall, which did seem like she was in a tall building and on the top floor.
"Uncle...." She hoarsely muttered as she spurted out a mouthful of blood. How could she not recognize that familial scent? How could she not identify him from that embrace? He was the only person ready to embrace her!
"I'm sorry that I'm late... I will always accompany you! It doesn't matter if you acknowledge my presence or not, you are the one I would love for eternity... I will love you for eternity, and in the next life, I will still love you unconditionally! Always!" With that heartbreaking confession, the entire place went quiet and they were no longer breathing.
That fall was terrible and they couldn't have survived!
_ _ _ _
"Arrgg..." She loudly groaned, opening her eyes out and gazing around; some close white walls were surrounding her while she seated God knows where and why was she in such a confined place?
Where was she? She felt like she was in a huge dream and everything happened like yesterday, apart from dying with her Uncle, she was reborn as a princess, surviving through that world, she only wanted to come back and repay her Uncle's love! That's the debt she knew she would have to repay for eternity.
"Ahhh!" She loudly groaned, massaging her temples while trying to register her situation, and immediately, some memories flashed through her mind, knowing what kind of a mess she was in. She had gone through this kind of scene in her previous life and it was the same all over again.
For her not to ride with them in that family car, they had instigated other students to lock her up inside that tiny cubicle, and due to suffocation, she could have died and had a rebirth. Recalling what had happened in that long dream, anger boiled in her heavily.
She jerked up from the toilet where she was seated in that confined space.
"Cough cough!" She loudly coughed, trying all the means to open the door, but it was locked from the outside.
She began kicking the door bit by bit, and after struggling, she finally kicked the door open before she sprang onto the floor weakly along with the broken door as she had used force and hadn't managed to control her body in time.
She was stinking, sweating all over, and her skin looked paler than usual! She weakly got up and strode over to the mirrors that were attached to the walls above the sinks.
That face, that hair... She looked so young and adorable, compared to that person she was in her forties.
She was back to being an eighteen-year-old girl; from this day, in her previous life, she had made a series of wrong choices that she never had in reverse gear.
Her body was aching all over as those students had given her a thorough beating before locking her up in that toilet's cubicle.
She staggered, got out of the bathroom, and walked over to the classroom corridors; along the bathroom door entrance door, she could see a yellow notice placed at the corner signaling the bathroom was out of function and had malfunctioned under repair.
She roughly snickered while her eyes teared up nonstop, feeling aggrieved; the corridors were dark as lights had been turned off.
In her previous life, she became unconscious until the following day, her going missing the entire evening and night; they accused her of being promiscuous and a loose woman; since that day, they had ruined her reputation in society.
She couldn't understand why they would treat her like this! She was their biological daughter, why this kind of treatment?
She walked over to the classroom; it was dead quiet, and only the lights were turned on; she could see her school bag torn up, and the books torn up and turned into pieces of paper and strewn on the floor.
