Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Unforgiven (7)_1

No wonder—

she just couldn’t forgive her, seeing her reaction so intense.

Thinking of that nightmare, where she once cradled the fake one by the small ditch where her daughter died, her heart tore with excruciating pain. How desperate must her Jiaojiao have been at that time?

Watching her own mother holding a fake, while she lay soaked in the cold water, unnoticed and unrescued...

Shu Jie simply dared not think any further.

Watching Shu Jie’s despondent expression and listening to her questions, Ruan Jiaojiao was completely certain that this mother really knew everything, or could she too be reborn?

Or maybe—was their entire world reborn now?

Ruan Jiaojiao still wanted to ask how she died, but at that moment, hurried footsteps came from outside, so she had to drop the subject.

It was Xiu Xi who arrived.

He had been by the hospital, keeping watch for three days, never leaving her side. Even when his body began to smell, he refused to leave, impervious to anyone’s persuasion.

It wasn’t until today, when Ruan Jiaojiao’s condition finally stabilized, that he listened to Ruan Jianguo’s advice and went home. But he didn’t dare delay; after a shower, he rushed back together with Wu Le.

His footsteps were urgent. Upon entering and seeing Ruan Jiaojiao sitting up in bed, looking well, the anxiety on his face finally eased.

"Xiu brother, it’s Wednesday today, right? Aren’t you going to school?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked.

"I’m not going," Xiu Xi replied, coming over to hold her hand before adding, "Wait until you’re well, then we’ll go together."

Ruan Jiaojiao heard this and didn’t pay much attention.

After all, that first-grade coursework was of no use to them. Staying there for a year or two was just a transitional period, so as not to appear too contrary to the natural order.

"Sister-in-law, I’m here. Why don’t you go back and rest for a while? I’ll watch over her," Wu Le said softly as he laid out the things he’d brought for her on the table.

Shu Jie shook her head, her eyes still red. She glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao, then stood up and walked out.

Wu Le watched her retreating figure with a helpless shrug of his shoulders.

Her sister-in-law had always been lofty and distant. This was the first time he had seen her so heartbroken and forlorn. It really proved the old saying true—children are debts from their parents’ previous lives. Otherwise, who else but Ruan Jiaojiao could cause her sister-in-law to be in such a state?

Wu Le turned back to Ruan Jiaojiao and asked, "Jiaojiao, are you feeling better? Do you want your fourth aunt to wipe you down?"

"No need, I want to eat first," Ruan Jiaojiao said. Before, when she was not fully conscious, she could only lie there and let them wipe her down. Now she was not so shameless.

"How come you haven’t eaten yet? I thought you had already eaten, so I didn’t bring you anything. Just wait a minute; your fourth aunt will go see if the cafeteria still has something to eat."

"There’s some here. Xiu brother, can you help me get it?" Ruan Jiaojiao gestured towards the porridge, which had already cooled down. However, it was the heat of September, so the cooler porridge was not an issue.

"All right then, you eat first; I’ll buy you something tasty in the evening," Wu Le said, before picking up the basin and the towel and going out.

The Ruanlin Family was still unable to move, and the hospital was hot. They needed to be wiped down at least twice a day to prevent heat rashes.

Ruan Jiaojiao acknowledged softly.

Xiu Xi, already by her side, picked up the bowl of porridge. Instead of handing it to her, he began to feed her.

Ruan Jiaojiao, without any pretense, ate spoonful by spoonful.

"Xiu brother, have you eaten anything?" With her and the Ruanlin Family being ill these past few days, home must have been chaotic.
