Guan Yi wasted no time after leaving the hospital. He immediately summoned the various factions within the Guan family to fully cooperate in the investigation of the audacious thief who dared to steal national secrets. The incident was kept under wraps from the moment it occurred, but due to the close collaboration between the Shen Lu families and the school, Shen Xi quickly got wind of it.
Facing Shen Xi’s inquiries, Shen Yan and Lu Shan hesitated before saying, “We heard that Guan Lei was stabbed three times, and his condition is critical. He’s still undergoing surgery, and his life hangs in the balance.”
Upon hearing that Guan Lei had been stabbed three times, Shen Xi felt an uncontrollable stabbing pain in her heart. The sensation was identical to every instance when she wanted to care for Guan Lei.
However, this time, the pain intensified, causing Shen Xi!s lips to turn pale, and her eyes were filled with confusion and emptiness.
Seeing this, Lu Shan immediately brought out some medicine and stuffed it into Shen Xi’s mouth.
She said with a pang of heartache, “Alright, alright, let’s not think about this. Let’s change the topic.”
Swallowing the medicine, Shen Xi weakly said, “l want to go see him.”
Lu Shan and Shen Yan exchanged glances, then nodded. “Okay, Mom will take you there.”
As Lu Shan turned away, her eyes reddened. How could her daughter endure such mental torment?
Loving someone should bring joy, yet every time she thought of him, especially in emotionally charged moments, she had to endure this heart-wrenching pain.
Lu Shan genuinely feared that one day Shen Xi might be unable to bear the mental torture and do something irrational.
When Shen Xi arrived at the hospital, Guan Lei was still in critical condition.
Upon seeing Shen Xi approaching, Su Han hurriedly came forward, tears streaming down her face. She held Shen Xi’s hand and choked out, “Xi, you’re here! It’s good that you’re here. With you here, that little rascal Lei wouldn’t bear to leave you. He won’t be willing to leave this world.”
Hearing Su Han’s words, images of the brazen Guan Lei flashed in Shen Xi!s mind. The cheeky, shameless, domineering, vulgar, and playful Guan Lei…
Unexplainably, her eyes turned red.
Her mind was filled with different versions of Guan Lei. Despite having taken painkillers moments ago, it felt as if someone was forcefully clamping her head with a vice. The splitting headache caused Shen Xi to tremble with pain.
In an instant, the memories in Shen Xi’s mind became chaotic. Unfamiliar memories flashed by before Shen Xi could grasp them. The inability to hold onto these memories and the pain drove Shen Xi to the brink of insanity.
Sensing the tremor in Shen Xi’s arm, Su Han anxiously looked up, only to see a face that had lost all color with bloodshot eyes.
“Xi? What’s wrong with you? Are you in pain?” Su Han shouted in panic.
All eyes focused on Shen Xi, and the next moment, they crowded around her.
Xue Chang and Shi Cheng watched helplessly as Shen Xi endured the pain.
They had seen her before, having been rescued by her.
However, they never expected Shen Xi’s relationship with Guan Lei to be so close, to the point where she knew Guan Lei’s life was hanging by a thread. Shen Xi seemed on the verge of collapse.
They had always thought of Shen Xi as a strong and confident woman.
But now, it seemed as if Shen Xi was struck by some invisible force, shattered and fragile to the touch.
Su Han felt utterly devastated. As her son underwent surgery, his fate dangled in uncertainty, and now Shen Xi was experiencing an unexpected situation outside.
Lu Shan and Shen Yan knew that Shen Xi’s condition was the result of a fierce collision between her hypnotized consciousness and her original consciousness. Shen Xi bore the brunt of the suffering in the struggle between two distinctly different awarenesses.
Lu Shan didn’t want to see Shen Xi in such pain. With tearful eyes, she said, “Xi, how about we don’t see Guan Lei anymore? Let’s go home, never come back, and never meet again.”
Lu Shan knew Gu Chen wasn’t a good person, so they wouldn’t allow Shen Xi to be with him according to the memories in her mind.
But if being with Guan Lei meant enduring such pain, it might be better not to see him at all.
They wished for their daughter to live a good life, even if on her own. Perhaps, she could adopt a child later and still lead a fulfilling life.
There was no need to subject her to such suffering. It was heartbreaking for them as parents.
Su Han, wiping away tears, felt the anguish. She had heard about Shen Xi’s condition from Guan Lei before..
