Chapter 630: Chapter 630: Unexplained Fever (6)_1

And it was when Situ Xin’s heart calmed down that her Heart Demon emerged.

In a blink, Situ Xin found herself as if transported back to her previous life, just before she went on her last mission—but this time, she was the bystander. She watched as her former self made the final preparations with companions who had been through gunshot and blade beside her.

Back then, Situ Xin looked at those companions, who she had trusted through life and death, with eyes full of trust. However, the observing Situ Xin saw something different—those same companions looked back at her not with trust, but with eyes full of guilt.

The past Situ Xin never noticed this. She put her whole heart into trusting them, her companions to whom she could entrust her life, yet they looked at her with such eyes.

Seeing the guilt in those companions’ eyes, Situ Xin couldn’t help the pain that pierced her heart.

Then, the scene shifted. It moved to her and her companions on their way back after completing the mission, Situ Xin was filled with joy, believing she could finally leave the organization and live the life she wanted.

But the joyful her could never have expected what awaited was the betrayal of those she trusted, of comrades she would have turned her back to. As bullets lodged in her body, Situ Xin fell into a pool of blood.

Watching herself lying in a pool of blood, seeing the coldness and disappointment in the eyes of those companions, the present Situ Xin felt her heart grow cold too. "Why, why would they do this to her? What did she do wrong to deserve such a fate?" thought Situ Xin, unable to restrain herself from crying out to the heavens.

Just as Situ Xin felt the injustice from God, the unrest in her heart, and even despair, her inner Heart Demon, as if sensing a weakness, swiftly began to invade her spirit.

Reborn Situ Xin was surrounded by the love of her family, a deep affection she had never felt in her past life. On the surface, she seemed to have let go of the past; in reality, she had never let go, and all those events were still buried deep in her heart.

Fortunately, Situ Xin’s willpower was stronger than most, otherwise, the Heart Demon wouldn’t have waited until now to emerge; it might have burst forth as soon as she began her cultivation.

"Master, you must hold on, control your own mind." Baibai in the space, sensing the tumultuous emotions in the depths of Situ Xin’s heart, couldn’t care about anything else and shouted to Situ Xin.

Whether it was Baibai’s words that had an effect, or it was Situ Xin’s strong willpower, just as the Heart Demon nearly began to invade her heart piece by piece, Situ Xin’s heart, once filled with despair and anger, gradually began to settle as she saw the faces of her family, who loved her dearly, in her reborn life.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Grandfather, Grandmother, Dad, Mom..." Situ Xin murmured as if in a dream, calling out the names of all her family members who loved her to the core. As Situ Xin murmured in her dream, the Situ Xin who lay in a coma on the hospital bed mumbled along, barely audible, "Grandpa, Grandma, Grandfather..."

But the attention of everyone focused on Situ Xin meant that the moment she spoke, they all heard her.

"Eh, Grandpa’s precious baby is right here," Old Master Situ replied, his voice choked with emotion.

"My dear treasure, Grandma is here," Old Madam Situ cried out, unable to stop her tears.

For a moment, everyone in the hospital room had tears in their eyes; the women, in particular, were crying so hard that they fell into their husbands’ arms. Situ Xin’s eyes remained closed, and they all didn’t know whether Situ Xin suddenly speaking was a good or bad sign.

When Xiao Muli heard Situ Xin call out the names of all her family members, excluding his, his heart felt particularly heavy. However, the loving gaze in Situ Xin’s eyes did not falter at all.

However, just as Xiao Muli was feeling downcast that Situ Xin hadn’t called his name, her lips moved again, and she uttered four words, "Brother Muli." A single tear slid down from Xiao Muli’s eye.

"Baby, I’m here, Brother Muli is here," Xiao Muli said, lifting Situ Xin’s hand to his lips and gently kissing it. In this special period, no one took Xiao Muli’s action seriously, but typically, if Xiao Muli had kissed Situ Xin’s hand, he would have immediately been driven out by the men of both the Situ and Loo families, and would never be allowed to come near their treasure again.

In front of Situ Xin’s eyes flashed scenes of her being born from her mother’s womb, of how, from infancy, she had been cherished, adored, and pampered in the hearts of her family in this life; all these memories moved Situ Xin immeasurably, causing her tears to flow one by one from her tightly shut eyes.

Situ Xin’s heart, which had been half-occupied by the Heart Demon, began to recede bit by bit as her tears fell.

Apart from her family, Situ Xin’s vision was filled with fleeting glimpses of Xiao Muli. Watching Xiao Muli always by her side, braving through all kinds of storms together. Watching Xiao Muli, for her sake, contend for the position of Patriarch Xiao and take on the weight of the entire Xiao Family.

Situ Xin’s heart suddenly became enlightened. What was she entangled with? Past events were like smoke in the air; why was she still fixated on the affairs of her previous life? In this life, she had so many people who cared about her, loved her, and doted on her; she should treasure them.

She should not trap herself in the things of her past life, causing those who loved her this life to be sad. And for the sake of past life matters, was it worth losing everything in this life? The answer was undeniable; it was not worth it.

Since it was not worth it, why should she still be entangled?

Thinking this way, the little Heart Demon that remained in Situ Xin’s heart vanished into thin air as her mind cleared.

Feeling the gloom in her heart swept away, her body, which had been weak and required her sheer will to sit up, suddenly restored as usual. A smile appeared on the face of Situ Xin, whose eyes were still closed. She knew she had banished her Heart Demon.
