Ruyu woke up in the middle of the night sweating bullets and in tears. She remembered how she ended up and was scared about her parents and brother.
Then she saw a man sleeping next to her, clearly exhausted and sleep-deprived. This was their attorney. Her Uncle Jack, Jackson Yin.
She saw him waking up and looking at her. She teared up seeing the sad face her uncle showed. She thought- no she knew that her family probably is...
"Un...cle...*sniff* Mom? Dad? Little Shen?" she bravely asked thinking of the worst.
"Shh... darling, just rest first and I'll tell you lat-" Jack was sayjng when Ruyi cut him off.
"Please tell me uncle... I want to know now..."Ruyi said as she was trying to sit up but failed.
Jack sighed at the state of his niece. She was courageous but as fragile as her state was in, he knew she wouldn't back down. She was as stubborn as her mother.
"Mm... Your mom and dad.... they... they didn't make it" Jack had to lower his head so that Ruyi wouldn't see his expression.
"How about Little Shen, uncle? How is he?" Ruyi teared up. Even when she was already in a battered state, she still wants to know more of the state the people she cares the most.
"He... he's in a coma..." Ruyi felt her world fall apart from all the news she heard..
"What happened uncle?" Ruyi clenched her fist to stop herself from crying.
"You... were attacked... It was an intentional ambush on you..." Jack was hesistant but seeing her firm eyes, he continued. "By your maternal family... They wanted to engage your fiance and your adopted cousin..."
Ruyi knew that the engagement would fall apart, but not that way. She thought it would be because of mutual concession, not murder.
"Uncle... please help me..." Ruyi's eyes were burning in anger as she swores to herself to avenge her parent's death and their misfortune.
"Ruyi... don't try to take revenge... I know your-"
"My parents wouldn't want it but I do uncle... It's the only way to stop my raging heart from all of this. We never took anything or done wrong to others.. so why..." Ruyi broke down in tears as she clenched her chest. She couldn't forgive them... no she will never forgive them..
"And Ruyi... I have another news for you... The doctor said you were... pregnant and the baby didn't make it... I'm sorry..."
It was as if the world came crashing down on Ruyi... she was pregnant?
"What do you mean uncle?" She couldn't register anything else but the words her uncle just spoke.
"Renember your ra- that incident... You actually got pregnant by the man who took your..."
"No!!!!" Ruyi couldn't believe it... as much as she loves children and hated they died, she couldn't accept the fact that she got pregnant fron the beast who took her everything. Her innocence, her body and her fiance's love.
"I'm so sorry, Ruyi..." Her uncle hugged her tightly, consoling her, comforting her, assuring her that everything will be alright.
"Why... why did I have to go through this..." Ruyi kept crying till she got tired and fell asleep.
