Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Tragedy strikes

The sun is difficult to penetrate the thin clouds, stingy sprinkle a few strands of light, but can only be outlined in the city streets mottled light and shadow, can not penetrate the heart of Xiao Xue that is as thick as the ink-like haze. This day, the atmosphere in Xiao Xue's home is like a storm before the dull and depressing, suffocating. Husband early in the morning on the gloomy face out to work, leaving Xiao Xue alone at home to take care of the two young children. She is like a soulless puppet, mechanically busy with household chores, her eyes are empty and lifeless, like a pool of stagnant water, and her thoughts are like a tangled mess, tangled and entangled in her mind. Last night's heated and stormy argument with her husband was like a horror movie playing on a loop, replaying cruelly in her mind. Every harsh, angry and disappointing word was like a sharp, incomparably sharp blade, piercing into her heart, making her nearly numb with pain and almost losing her ability to concentrate on anything.

The two children were like little angels who had come down to earth, innocent and unaware of the abyssal pain in their mother's heart. The younger brother was like a lively and mischievous monkey, unleashing his boundless innocence and energy in the not-so-spacious living room. His chubby little face was as red as a ripe apple, and one couldn't help but want to squeeze it. At the moment, he was lying on the ground, concentrating on the pile of colorful and differently shaped blocks. His small, fleshy hands gripped the blocks tightly, as if they were his most precious treasures, his little mouth slightly puckered, and his eyes revealed incomparable concentration and persistence. He tried to stack the blocks carefully, one by one, and every time he succeeded in placing a block, he would dance with excitement, his eyes squinted into a curved slit, and his mouth mumbled cheerfully, "Look, mom, my castle is almost finished! I'm going to put princesses and princes in it." However, the blocks occasionally collapse mischievously, but he was not discouraged at all, immediately like a brave little warrior, without hesitation to start building again, that little face is full of perseverance and indomitable.

Sister is like an elegant and charming little princess, sitting quietly on the soft carpet, concentrating on her group of beloved dolls to dress up. Her long, slender fingers skillfully and gently combed the dolls' long, silky hair, her eyes full of love and tenderness, as if she were treating the world's most precious treasures. Afterwards, she would carefully select the most beautiful hair clips from the small box filled with all kinds of exquisite hair clips, and then carefully clip them onto the doll's hair, each action full of care and pampering. Sometimes she would tilt her head and scrutinize her masterpiece like a professional artist, and sometimes she would gently hold the dolls in her arms, close to her ear, and gently whisper to them: "Baby, you're so beautiful today, just like a real princess in a fairy tale. Let's go to the ball together later, okay?" Her voice was soft and sweet, as if it could melt all the ice in the world.

Sister and brother's crisp and pleasant, like silver bells of laughter intertwined together, like a wonderful music, can dispel all the world's haze, in the silence of the room is a little scary echoed happily. Their world is so pure and beautiful, no worries erode, no disputes bother, only the endless joy and strong curiosity about everything around them like the warm spring sun. Xiao Xue quietly looked at the children, his heart mixed feelings, as if he had overturned a bottle of five flavors. Guilt as a raging tide, wave after wave of violent impact on her heart; and that deep and strong motherly love, like a burning flame, in the bottom of her heart burning. She knows that her recent series of absurd and irresponsible behavior, has given this once warm and beautiful family has brought great harm almost destructive, but she is deeply involved in the complexity of the labyrinth with Xiong Yufang, twisted and against the ethical and moral entanglements in the emotions, can not pull themselves out of it, like a trapped beast in the quagmire, the more struggle, the deeper the trap.

Xiong Yufang learned that Xiao Xue alone at home and mood as low as the bottom of the valley, her evil heart suddenly surged a burst of joy, think this is simply God gave her the implementation of that heartless poisonous plan of the perfect time. So, she carefully dressed up, disguised herself as a kind and harmless angel, with evil intentions came to Xiao Xue's home. Her face hung that seemingly sincere, actually hypocritical smile, but hidden in the eyes of the hard to hide the tension and ferocity, every subtle expression is like a carefully disguised mask, trying to cover up her innermost depths of the evil conspiracy. Xiao Xue opened the door and saw Xiong Yufang, a complexity flashed in her eyes.

Xiong Yufang watched the children defenselessly drink the poisoned water, the remaining trace of conscience in her heart seemed to be touched, for a moment, she wanted to rush over to stop the children, wanted to confess everything. But greed and fear were like two big invisible hands, strangling her throat, making her unable to move, and she could only watch the tragedy unfolding in front of her eyes.

It wasn't long before her brother first felt physically ill. His originally flushed face instantly turned white, bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear and pain. His small hands tightly covered his stomach, and a faint moan came out of his mouth, "Mom, my stomach hurts ..." Xiao Xue heard the sound and violently turned her head, and when she saw her brother's painful appearance, she rushed over to hug him in panic. "Baby, what's wrong? Where is it uncomfortable?" Her voice trembled and her eyes were filled with fear.

Sister also noticed her brother's strange appearance, she put down the rag doll in her hands and ran to his side, asking anxiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" However, as soon as her words fell, she herself suddenly felt a sharp pain hit her. Her little face twisted and distorted, her legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground. Xiao Xue's heart instantly sank to the bottom when she saw this, and her hands began to tremble so violently that she could barely hold her brother. "What's going on here? Why is this happening?" Her voice was close to despair as tears came out of her eyes.

Xiong Yufang stood by the side, her face as white as paper, her body involuntarily trembling violently. Her lips trembled slightly, wanting to say something but fearing that Xiao Xue would discover the truth, she could only watch in horror as the children struggled in pain. Her heart was filled with fear and guilt, and every second was as long as a century to her. She knew that she had committed an unforgivable crime, and what awaited her would be an endless abyss.

Xiao Xue panicked, picked up her cell phone and dialed the emergency number. With a sobbing voice, she spoke incoherently to the operator about the children's situation. While waiting for the ambulance, she held her two children tightly and kept comforting them, even though she didn't know what to do herself. "Babies, hang in there, the ambulance will be here soon, you'll be fine." Her tears kept dripping down the children's faces, mixing with their sweat.

Finally, the ambulance sirens broke through the silent sky. The paramedics quickly rushed into the house and lifted the children onto stretchers. Xiao Xue followed into the ambulance, her eyes never left the children's painful little face. Xiong Yufang quietly hid in the corner, watching the ambulance far away, her legs softened, paralyzed on the ground. She knew that from this moment on, her fate had completely gone to the dark abyss, and this family, because of her evil behavior, was plunged into irreparable grief.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to have lost its color, leaving only endless pain and despair spreading in the air. Xiao Xue's heart was dripping blood, she did not know what fate the children would face, and did not know how she should face this sudden disaster. Xiong Yufang, the originator of this evil, can only taste the evil fruit of their own sowing alone in a dark corner, waiting for the judgment of fate.
