When Shen Shuyuan saw him start to change color and convulse, she was so frightened that she immediately picked up Ruixi and ran out of the room.

"Ruixi, hang in there, Mommy's going to the hospital, Mommy's taking you to the hospital..."

Shen Shuyuan held the little one in her arms and ran all the way.

He no longer cared whether she was wanted by the authorities.

The factory had no elevator, only stairs, so Shen Shuyuan rushed down the stairs, taking three steps at a time.

Because she ran too fast, and because she had been bedridden for a year after giving birth, her physical functions had not fully recovered.

Muscle weakness and leg weakness.

When we got down to the first floor.

Shen Shuyuan stumbled and fell down the stairs.

He rolled down five or six steps with Ruixi in his arms, finally falling into a corner on the first floor.

His face was bruised and swollen from being hit.

Mizuki in her arms didn't utter a sound.

"Son, son, did Mommy hurt you? Wake up, don't scare me." Shen Shuyuan ignored her own pain.

He bent down and patted Mizuki's cheek.

He can no longer cry or laugh.

My whole body became cold and stiff.

"Son!" Shen Shuyuan cried out hoarsely, calling out Ruixi repeatedly.

Mizuki grew weaker and weaker in her arms.

The little guy seemed to want to speak, but his lips wouldn't move, and he couldn't open his mouth no matter what he tried.

"What do you want to say? Mommy's listening, listening." Shen Shuyuan leaned closer, trying to hear what Ruixi wanted to say.

Mizuki remained silent throughout.

Only a pair of small hands slightly raised, gesturing a sentence in front of her eyes.

This is sign language.

Shen Shuyuan could understand it.

He said, "I... want to leave this world. In the next life, Mizuki, I don't want to be your son again."

Born from Shen Shuyuan's womb.

It was the most helpless yet most hated thing in his life.

He wants a gentle and kind mother.

He wanted his genes to be free of any negative traits.

He wanted to grow up happily.

Shen Shuyuan was deeply hurt by Ruixi's words.

"I won't let you die, and don't even think about being someone else's son. You can only be my son, Shen Shuyuan's son." Shen Shuyuan chose to ignore Ruixi's words, struggled to get up from the ground, and continued walking forward to find a car to leave.

They had only walked a few steps.

But she noticed that Mizuki's hand had fallen limply from her embrace.

Shen Shuyuan stopped in her tracks and lowered her eyes to look at Ruixi in her arms.

He closed his eyes.

It was as if fate had ripped out their soul.

Shen Shuyuan slowly raised her trembling hand and gradually placed it near his nose.

There was no breath!

"No, no!" The terrible news choked her, and her hoarse voice was on the verge of collapse.

Tears streamed down her face.

It dripped onto Ruixi's cold little hands.

Shen Shuyuan couldn't believe it was true, and immediately reached out to touch Ruixi's carotid artery to feel the pulse.

What a pity! It's gone.

The beating stopped.

Mizuki is dead, her son is dead.

They had just recognized each other.

Shen Shuyuan collapsed to the ground, clutching Ruixi's body, like a tattered rag doll devoid of its soul.

A few minutes later, he felt that Mizuki in his arms could no longer warm up.

His death became a fait accompli.

"Ah!!!!" Heartbreaking cries echoed throughout the park.

Why did she lose everything she wanted?

She finally escaped her predicament and was able to embrace happiness again.

Reality, however, dealt her another blow.

The most ridiculous thing is...

Ruixi's death was neither due to Lu Zhiwei nor an accident.

It was created by the artist-led puzzle game she designed herself.

If she hadn't designed this game, she wouldn't have been able to help Steven commit evil.

If she hadn't insisted on acknowledging him at this critical juncture, causing him so much distress!

Will Mizuki be able to survive?

Regret and self-blame entangled her heart like wildly growing vines.

The overwhelming grief prevented her from expressing her emotions for a time.

With vacant, lifeless eyes, and standing there dumbfounded for a long time, Shen Shuyuan suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Hahaha!"

Wild laughter echoed throughout the park.

The cold moon hung high, casting a layer of desolate frost over her.

She seemed to have gone mad, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

When Steven chased after her downstairs, he never expected that Mizuki would be dead.

He just said something extra.

Little did they know that his words would directly cost the child his life.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Shuyuan stood up, holding the lifeless Ruixi in her arms. Like a soulless lone traveler, she walked past Steven and headed back.

Mizuki is dead.

There's no need for her to go out and take risks.

Let's end it all right here!

Steven watched her disappear into the basement, while his bodyguard, Rod, tried to follow.

"Boss, this woman has gone mad. Something bad is going to happen. I'm going to go and bring her back."

Steven stopped Rhodes, a sinister smile spreading across his face: "To stir up a stagnant pool, you need a madwoman like her. For the sake of her dead son, let her be for now."

"But won't she ruin your plans?" Rod asked, his face showing concern.

"This is my territory. What waves can she, a wanted criminal who is wanted everywhere, make? The old master of the Luo family means to make Lu Zhiwei and Shen Jinmo suffer a terrible death. I want to make money from these two on the surface."

"Since I can't offend Old Master Luo, let her play the bad guy. Wouldn't that way I avoid offending either side?"
