“Sister Lin, are you okay?” Mei Shu looked at her with concern, wrapping an arm around her shoulder to support her.
Lin He didn’t know how to describe her current feelings; using phrases like “a disaster has struck” wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Yet, this was a fact she had to face.
Deceived by Zhou Nan for so many years, she shouldn’t continue deceiving herself.
“I’m fine. I want to rest. I’ll sleep on the couch. Can you get me a set of blankets, please?” Lin He’s face had lost its color as she asked, looking drained.
Mei Shu went to her bedroom, fetched a set of blankets and an unused pillow, and handed them to Lin He. “You rest here for now. There are new toiletries in the bathroom. Stay here and don’t go out. Wait for my news tomorrow.”

For some reason, Lin He couldn’t sleep and was tossing and turning in bed. She felt compelled to find something that was crucial to her.
In the quiet hallway of the eleventh floor, you couldn’t hear any noise coming from the rooms.
Lin He took out her keys and tentatively inserted them into the lock. With a soft click, the door slowly opened.
“All!” Lin He screamed in surprise when she saw a pair of gloomy eyes, unprepared for this sudden encounter.
Before she could react, she was pulled into the room by a withered hand.
After a long night, Mei Shu stretched lazily and, wearing slippers, walked out of her room. She was about to call out when she noticed the sofa was empty.
Mei Shu’s heart raced, and she quickly changed into her clothes before heading out.
The hallways of this apartment building were equipped with surveillance cameras, making it easy to locate Lin He. However, what surprised Mei Shu was that Lin He had left the room on her own in the middle of the night and had gone back upstairs.
But Old Wang was currently at home, preparing to settle the score with Lin He!
Mei Shu showing up in front of Old Wang now would only disrupt her plans. But Lin He hadn’t returned the whole night, and Mei Shu didn’t know how much suffering she had endured at the hands of Old Wang.
Mei Shu made a decision. She quickly went back to her room and rapidly altered her appearance to make it difficult for anyone to recognize her.
Upstairs, Lin He was trapped inside a bedroom by Old Wang. She had prepared breakfast by herself and then called the police to request the release of her son once again.
The police, of course, wouldn’t listen to her and warned her not to call them without a valid reason, or else they would detain her on charges of disturbing the peace.
Old Wang’s call was abruptly terminated. Then, with an angry expression, she came out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice porridge. As she passed by the coffee table in the living room, she took out a bottle of sleeping pills from a drawer.
She had hesitated for a long time before making up her mind, crushing over twenty pills into a fine powder and mixing it into the porridge.
She first checked the smell, fearing Lin He might detect something unusual, and added plenty of white sugar.
Once all this was done, she took out the keys and opened the bedroom door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInside the bedroom, Lin He had struggled for several hours and was completely drained of energy, lying on the ground. She could only pat the door, using the last of her strength. Her fingers clung tightly to the engagement ring Zhou Nan had given her, and the pressure left its imprint on her palm.
When the door opened, she suddenly tensed up and lunged toward Old Wang. Without any regard for her own safety, she clutched Old Wang’s thigh, pleading desperately, “Mom, let me go. There’s something 1 must do.”
“What do you want to do? You’ve already sent my son to prison. Do you still think you haven’t done enough?” Old Wang sneered, angrily slamming the porridge bowl on the nearby table. From her superior position, her gaze was full of disdain. “Lin He, you’ve been in our family for so many years, and you haven’t even given birth to a child. If it weren’t for my son Zhou Nan not minding you, you would have become a divorced woman by now. What more do you want?”
“Mom, I need to go out. There’s something I must do!”
Saying that, Lin He took a deep breath, her gaze firm as she looked outside, suddenly mustering the last bit of her strength and charging out.
But Old Wang, quick on the draw, seized her hand, her nails digging deep into Lin He’s flesh.
Lin He cried out in pain, quickly turning back to pry open Old Wangi’s fingers. “Mom, please, let me go. Don’t do this!”
“It’s all your fault for harming my son!” Old Wang said with a vicious tone. “Quickly go to the police station with me and tell the police that yesterday was all a misunderstanding. Say that my son didn’t solicit prostitutes and have them release my son!”
“Mom, what 1 say in this matter doesn’t matter. The evidence against Zhou Nan for soliciting prostitutes is clear-cut. Even if I go and speak, it won’t change anything!” Lin He exerted all her strength to shake off Old Wang’s grip.
But Old Wang lunged at her once more. “I don’t care. If my son doesn’t get out today, 1’11 kill you to avenge my son!”
“Mom, what are you saying?” Lin He never imagined that her mother-in-law, who she had served respectfully for so many years, would contemplate killing her. She felt her entire body turn cold, and she was paralyzed with shock..
