Chapter Thirty-Four: Could it be that she was raped?
Boundless darkness and fear enveloped and surrounded her layer upon layer.
My heart has already hurt so much that I can’t add anything to it.
Lin Ruoxi leaned her head against the car window, gritted her teeth and covered her chest, feeling waves of twitching there.
In her 20 years of life, the relaxation and joy she had had were really too little. But no matter how hard she was, no matter how stressful life was, she would tell herself that just be patient, just grit your teeth, whatever.
It will all pass. She thought that no matter how terrible or terrifying the dream was, there would be a moment of clarity. But why, what she thought would end did not end, but the next nightmare swept over so quickly.
Her body, pride, and dignity were torn to pieces by the man in that endless dark night. But now, even the remaining warmth and concern were destroyed.
In just ten days, everything turned upside down.
Her uncle's cold and angry attitude frightened her, but she was also aggrieved. Apart from scolding and scolding, he had almost no other words. He even learned the address of her mother's hospitalization only after Lin Ruoxi begged to find out. And the whole thing happened,
Lin Ruoxi also deduced this from the words of her uncle... When her mother committed suicide and was hospitalized, she went to City C, and Xiao Shuai's family took this opportunity to find her mother.
She didn't know what the Xiao family said or did to her mother. She couldn't figure out what else they could say or do. She had already given in so far, so why did everyone still want to drive her away and kill her!
…………
On the narrow and bumpy roads of the town, black cars roared past.
Outside the glass window, the hospital door flashed past and fell behind in the blink of an eye.
The car had barely stopped when the petite woman opened the car door, rushed out regardless, and ran up the steps.
The faint smell of disinfectant in the hospital lingered on her nose, stimulating her sense of smell.
In the dim corridor, Lin Ruoxi stumbled and ran as hard as she could. But the road in front of her suddenly became twisted, as if there was no end.
But when her mother's ward finally appeared in front of her, she paused again.
"Ruoxi, your dad died early, how did your mom drag you to such a big size!"
"Pat your conscience, are you worthy of her? Are you worthy of your father?"
"Young people at a young age want to get something for nothing, climbing high branches to make others smaller!"
"Get out! Why are you going to the hospital?! Do you still want to piss your mother off so that you can feel at ease!?"
With a sound of "Uh-", Lin Ruoxi covered her face, stood at the door of the ward, and cried muffledly.
"Miss Lin." Aken's deep voice sounded softly. From the moment Lin Ruoxi ran into the hospital, he followed her closely.
"Do you think she will forgive me?" Lin Ruoxi choked, "She will definitely not forgive me, definitely not... I let her down so much..." The thin voice was accompanied by low sobs, as if
Asking, but more like venting to himself.
In this situation, Aken really couldn't say anything, so he could only stand aside and remain silent.
After Lin Ruoxi sobbed for a while, she finally calmed down a little.
She raised her hand to touch the remaining tears on her face, steeled herself, took a deep breath, and gently pushed open the door to the ward.
We should face it, we still have to face it...
In the quadruple room ward, the remaining three beds are empty.
When she entered, Mrs. Lin was sleeping with a hanging bottle hanging on her.
The person on the hospital bed was described as old and haggard, with a gray and blue complexion. He was still less than 50 years old, and most of his hair was already gray. In his sleep, his brows were still furrowed, with the word "Chuan" raised in his face.
Lin Ruoxi stepped closer and looked at her mother on the bed, tears filling her eyes again.
Maybe he was in pain and couldn't sleep well, or maybe the mother and daughter were connected and had telepathy.
The sleeping person began to breathe unevenly and moved restlessly.
Then, just when Lin Ruoxi walked to the bedside, Mother Lin slowly woke up.
Chaos eyes were still a little hazy, and he was stunned when he saw Lin Ruoxi. Then his eyes flickered, and the emotions inside him flashed several times.
"Mom..." Lin Ruoxi shouted, then choked up.
Mother Lin's chest rose and fell, and her breathing gradually became rapid and heavy.
"Mom, don't worry, take care of yourself!" She hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother, but Mother Lin raised her hand and pushed her arm aside.
Lin Ruoxi felt a stab in her heart. She stretched out her hand, and her tear-stained face looked sad and aggrieved. She sobbed, "Mom, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"No, you're right!" Mother Lin closed her eyes, her calm tone filled with infinite fatigue, "I was wrong, I'm sorry for your deceased father." As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Mother……"
"Ruoruo, I don't believe that my daughter is a vain and shameless girl!" Mother Lin interrupted her, "I don't believe a word of what Xiao said. What you told mom... is all true.
Really? Mom wants to hear the truth from your own mouth!"
"Mom, I don't, I really don't..." She covered her lips and shook her head, tears falling down as she shook her head, "I stopped interacting with Xiao Shuai a long time ago. Even before, we were just ordinary alumni and classmates. I didn't win any
Xiao Shuai has no benefit, and he has never thought of clinging to the Xiao family, let alone betrayed himself for money! Mom, you believe me!"
"Okay, I believe you have not taken advantage of the Xiao family." Mother Lin opened the quilt and sat up with difficulty. She raised her head and looked at her daughter, with a cold light in her eyes, "Then tell me, they
What's the matter with saying that you fell in love with a rich man and was taken care of by someone?"
"I didn't!" Lin Ruoxi denied in a sharp voice, almost reflexively.
"Haha..." Mother Lin's expression seemed to have a kind of sadness and despair. She smiled softly, which made Lin Ruoxi panic and tremble.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't be like this. Don't scare me!"
"Don't call me mom, I'm not your mom!" Mother Lin's voice was in vain, "If my child wasn't the most perfect child in the world, she would make mistakes, but she would correct them if she knew them. But she would never be right.
I lied! The one who is telling lies now is not my daughter!"
"I don't. I have never coveted the benefits of the Xiao family, let alone being someone else's mistress!"
"No, I believe my daughter is not. People at your school said you were sick. I went to the hospital to see you. What could I see?" Speaking of excitement, Mother Lin's mood was a little unstable, and her breathing seemed to become difficult.
She paused, regained her composure, and then continued: "I saw you being carried into the hospital by a man. Then tell me, what happened to the black car that took you to the hospital and that man?
Such a pomp and circumstance...surrounding yourself with such people, you are really promising!"
Lin Ruoxi felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She thought it was just Xiao Shuai's business, and she even thought that the so-called support was just a rumor her mother heard from school. But...
She spent almost every day in Dongshan recovering from her injuries, never taking a step out.
Only once, her heartbeat suddenly became abnormal that day, and the man tyrannically pushed her to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. But how could she survive and be seen by her mother? If her mother hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would still be fine.
She continues to find reasons, but now, what should she do?!
After a while, she found her voice and said intermittently: "That man, and I...we..." In the end, she couldn't finish her sentence.
What was she going to say? She said that she had nothing to do with that man, not even the slightest. But... who would believe it?! She admitted that she had a relationship with him, but it was Tang Hongxuan who took her forcibly.
Is she going to say that she was raped by a man?!
I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for my mother to accept it.
However, her unspeakable hesitation became a kind of acquiescence in Mother Lin's eyes. Feeling sad, her breathing suddenly became suffocated. Then, a cramping pain spread from her chest to her shoulders and back.
Before she could scream, with her eyes blurred by tears, Lin Ruoxi saw her thin mother clutching her chest with a face full of pain and falling on the bed.
