When Lin Yingyue entered her room she gently closed the door. She walked towards her bed and lie on it. She raised her right arm and rest it on her forehead while staring at the ceiling. A lot of things happened today, and even though she has already prepared herself mentally she still finds it exhausting. She was no longer surprised that her so-called family would treat her like this but she can't deny that she still feels hurt by their actions and words. They're demons in human flesh. No, this shouldn't be like this.
'I'm not supposed to feel hurt anymore.' She thought.
Lin Yingyue suddenly felt her neck feels wet. She touched her face and realized that tears were falling from her eyes. Her eyes widened in surprise.
'Tears? No, no! This isn't supposed to be. I'm happy. Yes, I'm happy. This might be tears of joy.'
She smiled and tries to reassure herself but her face cracked. She tries to stop her tears from falling down but to no avail, she can't. All of her painful memories are flashing back in her mind one by one. She's remembering everything from the time she got kicked out on her birthday, when she got drugged and raped on the day before her marriage and when she got pushed down the stairs by her step-brother. She remembered. Even the time when she was left out in the doghouse because she 'stole' Lin Ling's dinner because she wasn't given anything to eat that day, she remembered. The pain when she was slapped and caned down by her father for the first time, she remembered. And ultimately, the suffocating pain of learning her mother's death and burying her, she remembered. She remembered everything!
"No! No! No more! Please! Let me go!" She shouted.
She feels suffocated with her hair all messed up. Her hands covering her ears and her body curled up on the bed. Her clothes were also a mess. She was screaming and crying profusely at the same time.
"Please! Let me be with my mom! Let me go!"
"Mom! Mom! Bring me with you, mom!"
The door of her room was banged down and Fu Liuyang and Aunt Zhi Rou entered Lin Yingyue's room.
"Lin Yingyue!"
"Young miss!"
Fu Liuyang hugged Lin Yingyue and Aunt Zhi Rou rummaged her bedside table and retrieved her medicine.
"Lin Yingyue, it's alright. We're here," Fu Liuyang consoled her while hugging her. She was feeling distressed because of her friend. Lin Yingyue doesn't deserve this.
Aunt Zhi Rou injected Lin Yingyue's medicine and she started to calm down. Lin Yingyue then fainted. They both sighed.
"I shouldn't have told her to go into her room," Aunt Zhi Rou said and sighed. She then started fixing Lin Yingyue's bed and Fu Liuyang fixes Lin Yingyue's disheveled clothes and hair.
"Aunt Zhi Rou, don't blame yourself. It's been so long since she suffered from relapse. If there is someone to blame, it's the Lin family. Those filthy animals!"
Aunt Zhi Rou was done making Lin Yingyue's bed and looked at Lin Yingyue.
She saw a little girl in a little white floral dress dancing around a rose garden.
"Mommy, look at me!" She merrily said. A beautiful young woman with black long hair in a green dress watched her dance. It was Lin Ruobai and the little girl was Lin Yingyue. Everything was so peaceful and the atmosphere was full of love and happiness.
"Aunt Zhi Rou!" Fu Liuyang shouted and startled Aunt Zhi Rou waking her up from her imagination.
"I'm sorry, Fu Liuyang. I'm just thinking if life could just be so simple then she wouldn't have to suffer." She sighed. 'Poor child,' she thought. "I'll just go down and continue preparing food. Once she wakes up, I'm sure she'll be hungry and she needs to replenish her energy."
"Alright, Aunt Zhi Rou! I'll watch over her then!" Fu Liuyang merrily said and continued fixing Fu Liuyang's appearance.
