Guiying signed on the visitor's register and prepared herself to face her brother. She exuded calmness from the outside but a violent turbulence was shaking her heart from within.
She stood tremblingly on her feet and proceeded to follow the officer when Zixin held her hand back.
"Don't go. You don't have to go…"
His gaze pleaded her to stop in her steps. Guiying had been hurt and wounded a million times by her brother. With a lot of courage and facing her past, she had come this far in her life. With great resolve she tore herself from the bleak and abusive past. Zixin didn't wish for all that strength to shatter in the blink of an eye. He didn't want Cai Lingyun to break her heart once again. He knew he would because that was the only thing he knew to do.
Hurt Guiying over and over again.
"I will be fine, Zixin," Guiying smiled. She had made up her mind. "I really need to do this."
