He finally left!
Mi Yao's tense nerves relaxed as she hugged her knees and zoned out for a while before carefully reviewing everything that had happened around her. She was certain—her purity was truly destroyed. She moved slowly off the bed and then entered the shower.
The warm water flowed from her head to her toes. She scrubbed her body hard with a towel twice, but the bluish-purple marks left by the man were still there, and her body was in pain, as if it had been torn.
Sue him? Impossible!
Because she was going to be married in two days, married into the Feng Family.
The Feng Family wouldn't want a woman whose purity had been destroyed. She had to keep this incident a secret.
Her father was in the hospital needing a large amount for medical expenses. Once she married into the Feng Family, she could get two million, and then she could afford her father's treatment.
Trading her lifelong happiness for her father's health and longevity seemed worth it to her.
Yet, her heart was in pain.
Her purity was gone.
Gu Yunsheng...
Gu Yunsheng...
She buried her small face deeply in her knees, whispering his name in agony.
Gu Yunsheng, the boy she had placed at the very top of her heart and loved for a full twelve years.
...
Mi Yao quickly took a shower, then got dressed and left the house. Life had to go on, she couldn't collapse now.
At the hospital.
Mi Yao asked the doctor, "Doctor, how is my father's condition?"
"The examination I just conducted on Mr. Mi shows his condition is still deteriorating, Lady Mi. Have you managed to secure the funds for the surgery? Mr. Mi's heart operation can't be delayed any longer."
"Doctor, don't worry. In two days, I will have the money, and you can prepare for the heart surgery."
"Alright." The doctor left.
...
Mi Yao pushed open the hospital room door and walked in; Mi Zhenglin lay on the hospital bed, his face pale.
Seeing Mi Yao, Mi Zhenglin gave a tender smile, "Yaoyao, you're here?"
"Yes, Daddy, how do you feel?"
Mi Yao walked over and helped Mi Zhenglin sit up, then placed a soft cushion behind him.
"I'm fine, but Yaoyao, Daddy has become a burden to you."
"Daddy, what are you talking about? In this world, you're my only family. Daddy, you must hold on. I'm going to marry into the Feng Family in two days, and then I will have the money for your heart surgery."
"Yaoyao," Mi Zhenglin grasped Mi Yao's delicate, boneless hands, "I don't agree with you marrying Feng Zhengyu. Zhengyu died six months ago. You're marrying a dead man, and the Feng Family won't allow you to remarry in the future. Your life will be ruined!"
"Daddy, marrying a dead man is fine. Besides, apart from Brother Sheng, I couldn't love anyone else."
Thinking of Gu Yunsheng, Mi Yao showed a gentle and radiant smile.
Mi Zhenglin was extremely grieved, "Yaoyao, please be rational. Gu Yunsheng has been dead for two years, why can't you accept the reality?"
"Daddy, why would you say that too? Brother Sheng is not dead; he's just missing. I can feel it—he's still alive!"
Mi Zhenglin knew that no matter what he said, it was useless; his daughter wouldn't believe him. "Yaoyao, are you blaming me for separating you and Gu Yunsheng?"
"Daddy, why would you say that?"
"Yaoyao, ever since you were little, you've loved following Gu Yunsheng around. But two years ago, when you were 18, I made a wrong decision on a government land demolition, which resulted in a family losing a life. The issue escalated quickly. Not only did I have to step down, but I was also going to be imprisoned. At that time, the young master of the Feng Family, Feng Zhengyu, told me that if I married you to him, he could settle the matter, so..."
