Gu Zheng felt a stinging pain in his eyes and closed them in exhaustion. The terrifying memories of his childhood surfaced in his mind. His lips turned pale, and his breathing became hurried.
Even though more than a decade had passed, his emotions would still fluctuate when he thought about those dark and painful days. At that time, he was locked up in Maple Garden by Huang Lilan and suffered abuse every day.
In the darkness, he gritted his teeth and endured the whipping and cursing. The hatred in his heart grew like vines and corroded his heart.
The accident had brought bad memories back to his mind. He had a bad feeling. Maybe…
Gu Zheng rubbed his eyes, and his eyes swelled up. He forcefully endured this discomfort and opened his eyes as he was deeply afraid of being discovered by Qiao Xi.
However, Qiao Xi could still see the exhaustion in his eyes. She asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
