No pain is greater than a dead heart. Even though Zheng Xinyi understood everything and wanted to be strong, her heart just couldn't be strong. It was as if she was cut into pieces and fried in a pan. The pain was simply beyond words.
Although Xinyi still looked like a walking corpse, without any facial expression and not talking to anyone, at least she knew how to take care of the child and would hold the child in her arms in a daze every day.
"Doctor Zheng, Doctor Zheng, I'm here to apologize to you." In the past few days, Wang Zhi has not dared to show up in public. He has been hiding alone in an empty corner, crying silently. Today, he finally plucked up the courage and appeared in front of Zheng Xinyi.
Zheng Xinyi didn't even raise her eyebrows, and didn't react at all while holding the child.
"Doctor Zheng, I'm sorry to you and to Captain Cheng. Hit me! Scold me!" Wang Zhi knelt down beside Zheng Xinyi's bed with a plop, tears of regret filling his red and swollen eyes once again.
Zheng Xinyi raised her head slightly, frowning slightly: "Did you kill Haoyu?"
"Captain Cheng died trying to save me. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been hit by the bomb and wouldn't have died." Wang Zhi slapped himself hard twice. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I killed Captain Cheng. I really wish I had been the one to die."
"Were you the only one by Haoyu's side when he died?" Zheng Xinyi asked in a choked voice.
Wang Zhi nodded slightly. "Yes, I was the only one with him. Captain Cheng used his own body to protect me, so I survived. Captain Cheng was covered in blood. He held my hand and said that he had finally repaid Wang Yun for losing a leg for him and saving my life."
Zheng Xinyi's pupils dilated and she tightened her grip on the quilt.
Wang Zhi continued crying, "When Captain Cheng knew he was dying, he held my hand tightly and asked me to tell you a few words. He told you not to be sad, to stay strong and live, to give birth to the baby safely, and to raise them himself. He also said he felt sorry for you and promised you that he would protect you in the future, but he didn't keep his promise. He said that if there was an afterlife, he would marry you again, but he would not be a soldier anymore. He would be an ordinary citizen and spend his life with you."
Zheng Xinyi bit her lip, closed her eyes gently, and tears streamed down her face. She cried bitterly in front of Wang Zhi. This was the first time she cried out loud since Cheng Haoyu passed away.
"Doctor Zheng." Wang Zhi also started crying.
Bai Cuiping, who had just returned from getting lunch, pushed the door open, looked at the scene inside, and tightened her grip on the lunch box.
Wang Zhi turned his gaze towards Bai Cuiping and called softly, "Sister-in-law."
"It's okay. It might be a good thing to let her cry her heart out like this." Bai Cuiping knew what he meant and responded.
"Cuiping, I always say that there is telepathy between people. I knew that night was not a dream at all. It was Haoyu's soul who deliberately came to me in the dream to say goodbye to me." Zheng Xinyi was crying so hard that she looked confused. She had snot and tears running down her face and spoke to Bai Cuiping in a slurred voice.
Bai Cuiping put down the lunch box in her hand and hugged her distressedly: "Xinyi, have a good cry. You will feel better after crying."
