Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 399: What did she do wrong? She didn’t even know herself.

Su Wanxin came back this time, and Fu Shihan indeed noticed that she was different from before.

Her personality was not as good as before, and she was not as cheerful. Even when she smiled sometimes, there was always a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

She no longer jogged every morning, only hating the sickly pallor on her face, so she would always put on makeup before going out.

She became timid, restless. She became prone to gain and loss, became...

Different from before.

Fu Shihan saw all these changes, but he truly never thought that she would be associated with the word "depression."

Fu Shihan closed his eyes, his head pounding with a splitting headache.

It was his fault.

He was such a fool.

"When she stayed over at your place before, she didn’t take her medication, but she could still sleep. I thought you could make her better, because she was even willing to see a psychologist, which is really good."

Mu Suyu told him softly about some things he didn’t know.

"She really hates psychologists, because... because she was once sent to a psychiatric hospital by one."

Fu Shihan’s breath hitched, and he turned his head to look at her.

"Yes, the place that in our eyes, only lunatics should be admitted to, she was locked up there."

Later when Mu Suyu found her, she was hugging herself and crying like a child, trembling with fear. Since then, she never brought up seeing a doctor again.

"I asked her why she wouldn’t tell you the truth. You should be able to feel that her return this time... was not to reconcile with you.

She said she didn’t know how long she could live, and didn’t want you to be as anxious as she was. I thought about it and felt it was right, because I also didn’t know how long she could live."

Life is revered because it is unpredictable.

Those people who passed away due to car accidents, plane crashes, drowning, and other accidental causes, may have been laughing and talking with family and friends one moment, but in the next, they could be separated by life and death.

No one is fearless in the face of fate, and Su Wanxin is no exception.

After all, she was just a girl in her early twenties.

At the age of 21, she was forced to leave due to a car accident, and when she opened her eyes again, she wasn’t even sure what had happened, yet she had to bear infamy and pain.

Everyone said she was wrong, called her ungrateful, labeled her a white-eyed wolf, said she had lost all conscience.

But what did she do wrong?

She didn’t know herself.

All she knew was that she had just slept a bit longer. When she woke up, she had lost the whole world.

For the decade or so she lived with the Fu Family, she was very happy, but since waking up from the car accident, she lived very repressed.

During those countless sleepless nights, she would cry and hug herself, endlessly searching for news about the Fu Family on the internet.

She knew that Li Mo’s leg was broken and irreparable.

She knew that everyone was waiting for her explanation, but... she couldn’t give one.

She didn’t dare to live; she didn’t dare to die.

She wanted to return home, but she couldn’t.

She was isolated, standing against those who once were closest to her.

She was really tired, tired to the point where she barely had the strength to keep going.

If not for Fu Shihan’s persistence and belief, perhaps, she wouldn’t have made it to today.

The incident with the sleeping pills wasn’t the first time it happened, just like Zhong Xian had said, long-term, high-dose use of antidepressants and sleeping pills was bound to lead to a mishap.

She began to hallucinate, her mind became hazy, restlessness and anxiety ensued. She was becoming more and more like a mental patient.

So when others said she was not a good match for Fu Shihan, she felt they were right.
