"If I could leave once, I could leave a second time," Yun Lei muttered these words and walked away, never looking back.
If one paid close attention to his expression, one could still see that Yun Lei harbored feelings for Zhao Fang.
But some things had already happened and it was impossible to go back to the way things were before.
Zhao Fang stood motionless for a long time, not knowing how much time had passed before she finally went back home.
But as soon as she returned, because she hadn't made lunch, the man came back and, after his mother mentioned it, Zhao Fang was beaten up by her own husband.
And Zhao Fang's younger daughter timidly watched it all unfold.
"If you have the guts, just kill me. Death would settle it all, and I would be freed from this marriage," she challenged.
Upon hearing this, her husband and mother-in-law beat Zhao Fang even more viciously.
Zhao Fang, half-dead from the beating, dragged her dazed body to the hospital.
