Gu Mian's hands tightly gripped the diary, "So that time when Tingshen came back to my hometown with me and found this diary, he thought the contents were all true."
"He thought you were my first love, thought that I married him because he looked like you, thought of himself as your substitute!"
"He even thought that the reason I lost the child due to falling into the water during winter was because I was saving you..."
Tears streamed down Gu Mian's face, "No wonder he was acting so strange after coming back from my hometown, he always minded your existence. I found it inexplicable, felt his possessiveness was unreasonable, but in his mind, you were my unattainable love, and he was just a substitute..."
Gu Mian remembered all those days' little details.
In the end, her thoughts lingered on the day they lost the child.
It was the darkest day of her more than twenty years of life, but wasn't it also the most torturous day for Li Tingshen?
