Chapter 601 - I Only Have You
She was fearful of him.
Fu Qinglun froze on the spot. He felt as if there was a knife stabbing his heart and he was in tremendous pain.
He thought that the furthest distance between both of them was these two steps now. He would never be able to be able to remain by her side again.
Just at that moment, Mama Lin fainted.
“Mom!”
…
At the hospital.
Their world was filled with pain.
A pain where there was no escape.
Lin Shiyu swiftly wiped her mother’s tears with the hot towel. “Mom, don’t cry. I have already grown up, and I can handle my own life.”
She did not need her mother to handle her life for her anymore, nor did she need her to shoulder the pain and carry all that burden.
Mama Lin’s tears cascaded down. She clenched her fist and knocked on the bed regretfully. “Why… why did it have to be… Fu Qinglun?”
Just then, there was a flurry of steady footsteps. Fu Qinglun had entered.
He looked at the painful faces of both the mother-and-daughter pair. He had not witnessed their darkest and most helpless period nor was he by their sides, but he could already imagine how upset they must have been.
Their worlds were flooded with their heartbroken tears.
Mama Lin saw Fu Qinglun and she got agitated again. “Why are you here? Get out, I don’t want to see you. Scram!
“Shi’shi was so little then. How could you bear to do that to her? You beast!
“You destroyed Shi’shi’s happiness as a child. You destroyed Shi’shi’s childhood!”
Mama Lin stretched her hand and smashed the tub of water forcefully onto Fu Qinglun.
Fu Qinglun did not move. The warm water splashed onto him, wetting his shirt and trousers. The tub hit his forehead and a loud sound ensued. His forehead swiftly sustained a cut.
This man had never been so wretched in his entire life.
“Mom, I’m sorry…”
I’m sorry.
He knew that the words ‘I’m sorry’ were worthless, but besides apologizing, he did not know what else he could say.
“Fu Qinglun, get out. Don’t agitate my Mom anymore. Please, I beg you. Don’t appear in front of us anymore!”
Lin Shiyu immediately pushed Fu Qinglun out.
Fu Qinglun stood outside the door. The door closed before his eyes. As he stretched his hand out, he held onto the door and asked hoarsely. “Shi’shi, don’t you want me anymore?”
Lin Shiyu did not speak a word. She pried his large palm away and closed the door.
Fu Qinglun froze outside the door. His handsome eyes were reddened. This was the first time in his life he was completely consumed by helplessness.
…
At night.
Mama Lin had finally fallen asleep. Lin Shiyu walked out of the ward. At this moment, she heard a hoarse voice. “Shi’shi, have something to eat. You have not eaten for the whole day.”
Lin Shiyu turned around to see Fu Qinglun holding dinner bought from the restaurant outside. He did not change his clothes and his outfit had already dried, but the water stains still remained. He was unkempt and disheveled.
He placed the dinner on the chair and said gently, “These are your favorite dishes. Shi’shi, eat while the food is still hot.”
Lin Shiyu turned around and left.
But she did not manage to leave. A clean, large hand grasped her slender wrist and she was forced to stop in her tracks.
Lin Shiyu could not tolerate his touch and hurled his large hand away instinctively. “Fu Qinglun, let go!”
Fu Qinglun did not release her. He looked down at this ravishing face and his dark red lips curved slightly. “Shi’shi, I’m sorry, I really am sorry. I mistook Lu Qi’er for you.
“I really ought to be dead. Why did I mistake someone else for you? If I had recognized you earlier on, I would have spent all my time accompanying and protect you. This way, your mother and you would not have needed to suffer.
“Initially, we could have had a different story, a different ending, but we wasted time and missed each other because of all of these misunderstandings.
“Shi’shi, could you give me another chance? Back then, I was also a victim. It’s very unfair and cruel to project all your hatred on me. I’m afraid I can’t take it.”
Lin Shiyu’s pretty eyes got increasingly red. She struggled relentlessly and wanted to slap away his large hand, but the man was clutching onto her tightly.
“Fu Qinglun, if you harbor the slightest guilt towards me, then please leave me alone. Do not appear in front of me again.”
“Leave?” Fu Qinglun muttered this word in a low voice and he laughed to himself despondently. “Shi’shi, I will go wherever you want me to go. But I don’t have a home anymore. I don’t have anything now. I only have… you.”
