Chapter 293 Upon seeing the photo, Lu Yanzhi learned that the child was gone.

One after another.

From the first one to the last one.

From the argument in the hallway to the specific contents of the critical illness notice being read aloud.

His hand holding the phone was trembling.

For a moment, he couldn't understand or comprehend the content of the photo; his mind went blank.

The physical pain came even faster, and his heart felt as if it were being torn apart at that moment.

It was as if something inside the body had shattered at that moment, crumbling into powder.

The pain was excruciating.

"vomit……"

The next moment, a mouthful of blood was spat onto the phone that Lu Yanzhi was holding, turning it crimson.

Crimson bloodstains floated on the phone screen, which displayed a photo of Shi Nian covered in blood.

The phone screen trembled as his hand moved, and the blood seemed to have seeped into the screen, mixing with Shi Nian in the photo.

Something was constantly crumbling, and a belated pain swept over him.

The scene from that day reappeared in my mind.

In that stairwell, he accidentally pushed her down the stairs.

The motion-sensor lights in the hallway flickered on and off. In the final silence, the green light emanating from the words "Emergency Exit" was dim and eerie.

“Ah Zhi…”

Her voice seemed to travel through time, layer upon layer.

It was like a knife, tearing him to pieces, subjecting him to a thousand cuts.

Why didn't he turn around that day?

Why? He didn't even glance at her.

child.

Their second child...

He had always wanted a second child.

After she really left him, after she told him again and again that she would not come back.

He kept thinking, if they had a child, would she have been less resolute...that child?

"Lu Yanzhi, we can't go back." Her voice rang out again.

It felt as if all the air around him had been sucked out, and Lu Yanzhi felt a suffocating pain.

He couldn't accept any of this.

He felt that everything he saw was unreal.

It's like the world is playing a huge joke on us.

Or perhaps, this was just a nightmare.

When he wakes up, he will find that she is still by his side.

This is a post by user 567. Lu Yanzhi, who clicked on it, can also see user 567's reply.

[Guess why it wasn't signed with Lu Yanzhi's name? It's because he left. I spied on him for a long time; the doctor called Lu Yanzhi many times but no one answered. They only recently had emergency treatment.]

Tears kept falling, mingling with the blood.

My heart was aching uncontrollably.

He remembered.

After leaving that day, Lin Zhihuan called him many times.

But on the way back to Han Wei, he was angry. He thought she and Lin Zhihuan were putting on an act, so he put his phone on silent.

Later, on the eve of receiving their divorce certificate, he finally learned that she had indeed been in a car accident.

It's not acting.

“Heh…” Lu Yanzhi laughed self-deprecatingly.

He finally understood why he hadn't signed her critical condition notice.

He dared not think whether the time he didn't answer the phone or sign the critical condition notice might have delayed her rescue.

"vomit……"

Lu Yanzhi coughed up blood again.

Blood was stained on the phone, the blanket, the bed, and... the combination lock box.

"President Lu!" The assistant Zhou Zhiyu had called had already arrived.

"Mr. Lu, what happened to you?" The assistant looked at the blood and the mess and immediately tried to call an ambulance.

But he waved his hand.

“Take me to Vivian’s Floral Studio,” Lu Yanzhi said.

He knew that, given her personality, she would go there today.

Go and end it all yourself.

"But Mr. Lu, you..." The assistant was really panicked because Lu Yanzhi had vomited a lot of blood, which was all over the bed and his body.

Even the quilt folded up to the side, which Lu Yanzhi insisted on placing next to him every night to fall asleep, was covered in blood.

Is this really okay?

Seeing his assistant still hesitating, Lu Yanzhi roared, "Send me there!"

The assistant then nodded and said, "Yes!"

Lu Yanzhi looked at the blood-stained safe on the side.

He seemed to already know the combination to the box.

Lin Yuchen and Lin Zhihuan both knew, but he didn't know about the child.

He hurt her deeply.

He knew that date.

But would he dare to open it?

Everything he knows now has almost destroyed him. Can he really bear the contents of this safe?

...

On the other side.

Shi Nian, who was in the car, also saw the photos posted by netizen 567.

Even now, she still doesn't know who user 567 is.

Looking back now, it doesn't matter who the other person was; they might have just been a patient or a family member who happened to witness everything at the hospital that day.

These photos are the important ones.

What happened that day...

That day is one she never wants to recall in her lifetime.

She wanted to bury everything in her heart and take it to her grave.

She knew that if Lu Yanzhi knew that secret, he might change his mind.

But she didn't want to bring it up.

I don't want to recall it.

She doesn't need his pity or his love.

She had made her decision a long time ago.

Shi Nian looked out the window at the bustling street and the crowd gathered outside Vivian's floral studio.

What she needs to do now is to end all of this, then take back the Shi family's things, find out the truth about her father's death, restore the Shi family's glory, and then live out the rest of her life well with Sisi and Huo Yanmo.

When her hand was grasped, Shi Nian turned around and saw Huo Yanmo's composed face beside her.

Huo Yanmo's gaze shifted upwards, and he reached out to tidy her hair.

She hid her strands of white hair.

These are her hairs that have turned white these past few days.

She is only 25 years old.

Shi Nian didn't stop her; she simply looked up again and gazed toward Vivian's floral studio.

It's time.

...

The internet was abuzz with excitement, and offline, outside Vivian's floral studio, word spread quickly that what netizen 567 had posted was also being shared.

The crowd erupted in uproar.

The charity sale that morning, along with Han Wei's announcement that her illness was progressing rapidly and that she wouldn't last more than six months, had initially improved her image and garnered sympathy from many. However, what netizen 567 revealed has plunged everything into confusion.

"Han Wei, what exactly happened?" someone immediately asked. "What exactly did you and Lu Yanzhi do that day, according to the picture posted by netizen 567?"

Han Wei immediately looked at the pictures, her face showing innocence while her mind raced.

Then, at a loss, she said, "I don't know..."

Tears streamed down Han Wei's face as she said, "I didn't know she had a miscarriage."

“That day…that day was complicated. I had a fight with Lin Zhihuan over some things. The fight got so bad that we started fighting. Yanzhi and Shi Nian came to pull us apart.”

"Later, in the chaos, Shi Nian fell down."

Han Wei said, "I didn't do it. I didn't know she was pregnant."
