He couldn't bring himself to utter the words "traitor," because he never truly believed that Murong would betray his country.

Lin Chuchu shook her head. "I don't know."

At this moment, she felt that other people's opinions were no longer important. She already knew what she needed to know, and she couldn't care less about other people's attitudes.

Liu Rong remained silent for a long time before saying, "I don't believe Mu Chen would betray the country. There must be some misunderstanding. Maybe he's on some mission."

"Isn't that how it's portrayed on TV? Maybe Mu Chen is an undercover agent."

Lin Chuchu shook her head. That was her guess too, but she didn't know the truth.

Liu Jiarui returned quickly, carrying two insulated lunch boxes. Mu's father was still not back, probably notifying relatives and friends.

The two little ones were already asleep, lying in the hospital bed, with Liu Rong watching over them.

Liu Jiarui pushed Lin Chuchu to rest, saying, "Go and get some sleep. I'll wake you up when your aunt and the others wake up."

Lin Chuchu nodded. Actually, she couldn't sleep at all, but she wanted some peace and quiet.

Lying in bed, Lin Chuchu stared at the snow-white ceiling, her thoughts gradually drifting away.

She wasn't thinking about anything; her head was throbbing, but she couldn't sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw her grandfather vomiting blood and Mu Chen's masked eyes.

Before she knew it, her vision became blurry, and she rubbed her eyes.

Has her life been too smooth since her rebirth, and God couldn't bear to see it and gave her such a blow?

Is God going to take everything away from me?

She finally found happiness, why should she lose it?

She tried to curl herself up into a ball, sinking into self-loathing.

After some time, Lin Chuchu calmed down. Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she simply left the empty ward and went to the ward of Mu's mother and grandmother.

There was a chair outside the ward, and Lin Chuchu sat on it.

After a while, a sound suddenly came from the room.

"Auntie, don't move yet, I'll call Chuchu over right away."

Lin Chuchu stood up, ignoring her numb legs, opened the door and rushed inside.

When Mu's mother saw Lin Chuchu, her eyes reddened, she stopped struggling, and burst into tears.

Lin Chuchu hugged the person tightly.

"Mom, I'm here, I'm here."

"Chuchu, I dreamt that your grandpa died. Can you take me to see him?"

Mother Mu was pale, her voice was flustered, and her eyes showed an attempt to escape reality.
