Chapter 242 Pain
A barely perceptible trace of anger and heartache flashed across Murong Ling'er's eyes. The anger was a condemnation of Huo Shuixian's past evil deeds, and the heartache was a regret for the life that was lost.
Huo Shuixian's pupils dilated rapidly, her eyes filled with panic, as if she had seen the most horrifying scene in the world. Her lips kept trembling, and she wanted to say something, but something seemed to be choking her throat, and she couldn't utter a word.
Her face turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead, and her body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
"You..." Huo Shuixian finally squeezed out a word with difficulty, her voice full of fear and despair.
Murong Ling'er straightened up, and there was no longer any ripple in her eyes, as if the words she had just said had exhausted all her emotions.
She ignored Huo Shuixian, who was kneeling on the ground with an expression of disbelief, and turned around and slowly left.
Her steps were heavy, and every step seemed to be stepping on Huo Shuixian's heart, making Huo Shuixian feel even more miserable.
At this moment, Huo Shuixian's mind seemed to be buzzing with millions of bees. Murong Ling'er's words just now were like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard, making her dizzy and dazed.
She slumped on the ground, staring blankly in the direction Murong Ling'er had left, her heart overwhelmed by a tide of regret.
Huo Shuixian's mind suddenly flashed with all of Murong Ling'er's abnormal behavior, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Her sister had passed away? Then who was this Murong Ling'er before her? Could she be... a wandering ghost?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Huo Shuixian's eyes widened instantly. Looking at Murong Ling'er's departing back, she felt dizzy and tears burst out uncontrollably. In an instant, pain and regret completely drowned her like a surging tide. She seemed to have fallen into an endless dark abyss, and life was worse than death.
When Huo Zihao heard these shocking words, he stood up from his seat with his eyes wide open, his face full of shock and anxiety.
His lips trembled slightly, but he didn't say a word. He just flicked his sleeves and rushed in the direction where Murong Ling'er left.
The speed was so fast that it created a gust of wind, and the papers on the table were rustling.
"I'll go take a look too!" After Murong Chen reacted, he immediately followed closely behind. His brows were furrowed, his eyes revealed worry and uneasiness, and his feet walked quickly, not daring to delay at all.
For a moment, there was a panic in the house. Several people walked hurriedly, and then a group of people ran out in a mighty manner. The sounds of footsteps and shouts intertwined together.
Murong Ling'er did not go with the others. She walked to the window with an indifferent expression, and her eyes inadvertently swept to the corner, and she saw Huo Shuixian hiding there at a glance.
Huo Shuixian was trembling, covering her face with her hands, and crying with her shoulders shaking.
Murong Ling'er was about to look away when she caught a glimpse of Sun Ying standing not far away from the corner of her eye.
Sun Ying had come out to get some fresh air and enjoy a moment of peace. She was wearing a light blue silk dress that fluttered gently in the breeze. But when she saw Huo Shuixian crying so hard that she could hardly breathe, her originally relaxed expression instantly became hesitant. She subconsciously bit her lip and thought to herself that she had been humiliated and beaten by Huo Shuixian that night, with her body covered in bruises and looking miserable.
If she rushed over at this moment, others would definitely think that she was there to laugh at her and take advantage of her misfortune. Thinking of this, Sun Ying's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move forward or backward.
Murong Ling'er scoffed at Huo Shuixian's confession. In her mind, Huo Shuixian had already killed the person, so what was the point of this belated apology? The reason she told the truth without hiding anything was to completely shatter Huo Shuixian's illusions.
In the days to come, let Huo Shuixian struggle in the nightmare of killing her own sister! No one can save her. Murong Linger's eyes were cold. She turned away from the window and walked towards her room.
When I returned to the room, Murong Chen and Huo Zihao were already waiting inside. In addition, several friends including Lin Dong were also there.
As soon as Murong Linger opened the door, everyone in the room immediately looked at her.
"Mom, how is grandpa?" Murong Chen's face was full of anxiety. He asked hurriedly without waiting for Murong Ling'er to stand firmly.
His eyes were filled with concern, and his hands unconsciously clasped together.
Under the worried and anxious gazes of everyone, Murong Ling'er slowly nodded and said softly, "He's awake and recovering very well." Although her voice was soft, it seemed to carry a reassuring power.
"Sister, Dad is awake, I have to go check on him."
When Huo Zihao heard that his father had woken up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He simply said goodbye to Murong Ling'er, turned around and walked out of the room quickly, his steps hurried, as if he couldn't wait to fly to his father's side.
……
The wind in deep winter cuts people's cheeks like a knife. In the garden of Marquis Jing'an's Mansion, the withered flowers and fallen leaves shiver in the wind.
Sun Ying strolled through the garden, hoping to use the quietness of the garden to calm her inner boredom, but when she passed by a rockery, she suddenly heard a faint crying sound.
She was slightly startled, then felt pity and followed the sound.
Turning around the rockery, I saw Huo Shuixian squatting in the corner, hugging her knees and crying bitterly. Her eyes were red and swollen, like two ripe peaches that had been crushed.
Sun Ying's heart softened and she slowly walked towards her.
Huo Shuixian was immersed in her own pain, her heart filled with regret, self-blame and guilt. She remembered that her momentary negligence almost put Huo Jianjie into an irretrievable situation. The terrible scene kept replaying in her mind, and she didn't know how to redeem her mistake except crying.
Just when she was crying her heart out and almost fainting, suddenly a pair of milky white embroidered shoes slowly came into her sight.
When she finally saw clearly that the person standing in front of her was Sun Ying, a flash of undisguised disgust flashed across her already red and swollen eyes like a meteor across the sky.
The disgust was so strong and direct that even Sun Ying could see it clearly.
Sun Ying felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand. The pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe. She lowered her head involuntarily, her eyes dimmed, and she began to ponder endlessly in her mind.
Ever since that night, she has been very cautious, fearing that she might do something wrong and anger Huo Shuixian. However, no matter how she thought about it, she really couldn't figure out why Huo Shuixian had such deep hostility towards her.
After all, before this, the two of them were just strangers with no connection at all!
Sun Ying looked at Huo Shuixian's face, which was as cold as an iceberg, and the look that showed that she had no intention of paying any attention to her, and she couldn't help feeling conflicted and hesitant.
