Qiao Lian's fingers got weak and she almost dropped her mobile.
What has she heard Doctor Zhang say?
That her partner… had brought Xiao Yi home?
He had even shown his marriage certificate…
She clenched her fists and trembled in fury.
Was he trying to make use of her brother to gain control over her?
Her head spun and darkness seemed to be closing in on her. She had been up and out in the freezing cold all night, and she was now even more agitated by this new development. She almost lost her balance.
The great shame that heavily hung in the air was so pervasive that it choked her and entirely shattered her ego.
The cold seeped into her bones.
She felt no warmth in her stiffened body on this wintry morning.
Clenching her jaw and still shaking from the cold, a thousand and one thoughts flashed through her mind all at once. But eventually she hung her head in defeat and let out a bitter and derisive laugh.
Indeed.
