Stars In His Eyes

Chapter 1822: Sincerely Treating Each Other 35

The entire night, Ye Zi did not rest. After calming her mother to sleep, she spent the night talking to her father alone, and early the next morning, she stepped out of the house by herself.

He Zhilan and He Teng first received the news that Lin Deng had woken up and headed to the hospital. On the way, they received another message, Ye Zi had gone to the police station to confess.

"Should we go to the hospital or the police station first?" He Teng stopped the car by the roadside and turned to look at He Zhilan beside him. He needed to turn the car around if they were to go to the police station to see Ye Zi.

"Let’s go to the police station." He Zhilan pinched her brow and looked up at He Teng, "Brother, you don’t seem surprised at all."

Indeed, He Zhilan was shocked to hear that Ye Zi had gone to the police station to confess, but He Teng’s expression remained unchanged throughout, almost as if he had already guessed this outcome.

He Teng grunted and said softly, "We’ve known Ye Zi for quite a few years now, haven’t we? Back when Lin Deng was hospitalized with a terrible temper, almost no nurse was willing to care for him. Ye Zi was cursed out of the ward several times by Lin Deng, yet every time she saw Lin Deng in such a sorry state, she was the first to step forward to care for him. Ye Zi is soft-hearted and especially kind-hearted."

He Zhilan sighed after hearing this. Yes, Ye Zi is indeed very kind-hearted, "Yesterday Qi Chengnan called, and Ye Zi overheard. She probably didn’t want to make things difficult for us either."

He Teng didn’t respond, merely turning the car around to take He Zhilan to the police station.

The two met Ye Zi’s parents and Ye Zi at the police station. Seeing He Zhilan arrive, Ye Zi called out to her.

"Sister Zhilan, I don’t know how long I’ll be sentenced. I don’t know many people, nor whom I can talk to." Ye Zi looked down, her eyes slightly red, "Can you help look after my parents occasionally?"

"Ye Zi, you don’t need to worry about your parents. We’ll all help take care of them because you’re in this situation because of Lin Deng, so from now on, your affairs are our affairs. You don’t have to say it; taking care of your parents is on us. We promise to make them well-looked after. As for you, prison might be unavoidable, but we have the means to make it as short as possible." Chen Yun offered Ye Zi some comfort.

"No need, your mom and I are not old enough to need others’ care. You just take good care of yourself, and when you get out, we will pick you up and bring you home." Ye Zi’s father shook his head and patted her on the shoulder. Although he said nothing of reproach, she was his only daughter, and now she had to go to prison. How could he, as a father, not feel heartbroken?

Ye Zi’s mother was already crying inconsolably on the side, hugging Ye Zi tightly and refusing to let go, crying continuously, patting Ye Zi’s back in both anger and heartbreak, filled with grievances but unable to utter a single word.

"Mom, no matter what, regardless of the reason, the fact is that I killed someone. Even if it was unintentional, I made a mistake and I must accept punishment. Besides, with Lin Deng’s friends helping me, I won’t face too much trouble. Just consider I’m off on a tour at the police station; I’ll take good care of myself." Ye Zi choked out trying to comfort her mother, "Moreover, if I don’t confess, Lin Deng’s friends will be in a difficult position. Actually, my confession is the best choice, this way I won’t burden Lin Deng’s friends and it aligns with my conscience."
