I closed my eyes, exerting all my strength as I swung the steel rod down. Blood splattered all over me. Li Ran didn't even make a sound before losing his breath. I was stunned. Was it really that simple? I opened my eyes and looked at Li Ran's corpse, suddenly feeling a sense of release. I let out a gentle breath and silently thought, "Yun Yun, from now on, no one will compete with you anymore."
Suddenly, a scream pierced my ears. "Mom!" I was startled and opened my eyes, only to find myself lying on the sofa. My back was already soaked with cold sweat. It turned out that everything just now was a dream. But the scenes in the dream felt so real; I could even clearly feel the sensation of release.
I sat there in a daze for a long time before realizing that my daughter Yun Yun was curled up beside me. I held my face in my hands and cried out in anguish. What should I do? What would happen to my daughter if I were gone?
The next morning, I secretly packed my identification and bank cards, taking my daughter and leaving home. My mother-in-law saw me dragging a small suitcase with Yun Yun and assumed I was just taking her out for some sunshine, so she didn't pay much attention. But I was escaping.
I returned my daughter to my family home. After three hours of long-distance travel, we finally arrived. Looking at my daughter sleeping peacefully in the car, I sighed deeply.
Goodbye, Yun Yun.
Mom can no longer protect you.
You will be happier with Grandma than with me.
What I owe you, I will repay in the next life.
I wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes and got out of the car.
I knocked on the door.
Mom opened the door and paused when she saw me.
"How did you get so thin?"
Her words made me burst into tears.
"Mom..."
She pulled me inside and closed the door.
"What happened? Did you argue with Haoran? Why are you carrying a suitcase?"
"Mom, I have Breast Cancer."
Mom froze.
"Don't be afraid, Mom. I can get better. I've already thought it through. I want to leave Yun Yun with you first, then I'll go back and talk to Li Haoran about divorce. I rushed back overnight because I was afraid Li Haoran would come home early and find out I took Yun Yun out."
Mom looked at me, her lips trembling.
"You... you..."
She reached out to touch my face, suddenly pulling me into a tight embrace and crying loudly.
"My poor daughter..."
I held Mom just like when I was a child.
"Mom, don't cry. I'm fine; I'll get better."
Mom released me and wiped her tears.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll make you your favorite steamed egg."
Mom went to the kitchen.
I watched her back, feeling a pang in my nose.
The last time I saw Mom busy for me was a few years ago.
At that time, I had just found out I was pregnant, and Mom came to take care of me, making all my favorite dishes every day.
Unfortunately, during that time, I was tormented by my mother-in-law and Li Haoran, feeling depressed and unable to eat anything.
Mom always looked at me with worry but didn't dare to advise me.
Until one time, she made a bowl of Seaweed Soup that I loved and brought it to me.
"Xuan Xuan, please eat a little."
I frowned and shook my head.
"I don't want to eat."
Mom's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly, and her face looked a bit pale.
"Then don't eat."
My mother-in-law scoffed sarcastically.
Mom's face turned white as she silently drank the bowl of Seaweed Soup.
At that moment, I didn't pay much attention.
Now, I suddenly feel how cruel I was back then.
I hurt Mom's feelings.
"Mom!"
I called out.
Mom turned around, looking at me with concern.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Mom was taken aback, her eyes turning red.
