Her days in prison were hard.
Yet, the days in the mental institution were even harder.
Each day felt longer and more unbearable than the last.
How had she endured it?
Night and day, she thought and hoped that once she got out, she would be able to find He Linze.
She was also willing to sacrifice herself for Ah Ning.
She did so much.
She gave so much.
She had no more reason to feel guilty.
With that mindset, she survived those days that were worse than death.
Finally, she made it through.
Finally, she left that hellish place.
She thought she could start over.
She could find Ah Ning, maybe even He Linze, and perhaps they could start over too.
But after she got out, the news was that He Linze had gone abroad without a trace.
Ah Ning had disappeared without a trace as well.
It was as if her world had reverted to the time in the mental institution, leaving her alone once again.
How could this be?
She had given so much!
How could they treat her like this?
