Gu Xinzhou's serene face finally changed.
With a hint of mockery, she looked over at Song Zhen, "Sorry!
Your sugar-coated bullets have no effect on me!
If they did, I would have taken your check and obediently let you have your way with me five years ago!"
At this point, an image surfaced in both Gu Xinzhou's and Song Zhen's minds—the birth control pills!
Song Zhen's lips were tightly pursed, and his gaze at Gu Xinzhou was filled with pain tinged with a touch of regret!
But Gu Xinzhou felt even worse!
Because... she was grateful to Heaven for giving her McDull, such a lovely baby, yet she hated herself for being so useless, not even able to protect McDull's older brother!
Gu Xinzhou's eyes reddened, and in an instant, they brimmed with tears.
Song Zhen, sensing the shift in her emotions, was so frightened that he dared not move or speak, fearing she might become too agitated and overwhelmed!
His eyes involuntarily glanced at the world clock on the wall.
Two seconds later.
Gu Xinzhou closed her eyes, her body limp as she leaned on the sofa, as though she had fallen asleep.
Seeing this, Song Zhen calmly picked up the milk cup she had drunk from, his expression somber and weighty, "Dr. Li, we can start."
The door to the resting room attached to Song Zhen's office suddenly opened.
A young man in a suit came out. Although not comparable to Song Zhen, he nonetheless exuded a distinguished air.
He nodded slightly at Song Zhen and then moved straight to Gu Xinzhou's side.
Ten minutes later.
Lying on the sofa in a comfortable position, Gu Xinzhou spoke in a timid and helpless voice, "Grandma wouldn't let me tattle. She said I could only bear with it, only endure, only by growing up could there be hope in life.
She didn't allow me to have conflicts with Zhuang Xiuya and my sister.
So I had no choice but to endure.
My arm hurts so much...
She shocked me with electricity, there are no wounds..."
Gu Xinzhou's voice trembled into tears as she spoke.
She looked just like when she was abused as a child.
Song Zhen stood opposite her, also standing behind Dr. Li, listening to every word.
His body was stiff.
He hated that he couldn't rush to the Gu Family right away and chop Zhuang Xiuya to pieces!
Dr. Li then asked, "You're in so much pain, you're so scared, you're so helpless, haven't you found someone to talk to?
You have a beloved, right?"
"Beloved..." Gu Xinzhou murmured through tears, then said, "I can't say, I can't tell..."
Dr. Li, "Why not tell him?"
Gu Xinzhou thought of Song Zhen back then, "He was so perfect, yet I lived in darkness.
He was high above, while I was as insignificant as dust.
His father looked down on me, his whole family looked down on me, no one respected me...
He liked my sister, he didn't like me, he wouldn't like me."
Dr. Li glanced at Song Zhen and whispered a reminder, "Mr. Song, you can only ask one more question at most, or she'll collapse emotionally."
Song Zhen suppressed the sourness in his throat, his voice hoarse, "Ask her, what would it take for her to forgive me, to stay by my side, to love me again."
Dr. Li, "..."
That was clearly three questions, okay!
Bracing himself, he looked at Gu Xinzhou, "Yes, he was wrong, he didn't know how to cherish you at the time, so now, how can you forgive him?"
Song Zhen stared intently at Gu Xinzhou!
Every cell in his body was tense!
It seemed as if what she was about to say was not just anything, but his Life-Extending Pill!
Gu Xinzhou twisted her brow in pain and cried out, "I will never, ever forgive him, no matter what!"
