Ye Youyou stood rooted to the spot and called out, "Older Sister!"

"Ahh!" Guan Queye's eyes reddened as she screamed. She reached out both hands violently and collapsed forward. Her whole body tumbled out of the wheelchair and onto the floor.

The scene shocked everyone around to their core. Shen Luo'an's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively crouched down to help Guan Queye up.

At the same time, Ye Youyou dashed over. Before she could get close, she heard Guan Queye wail out loud, "Ye Youyou! Ye Youyou, Ye Youyou! Why did you do that to me? Why?"

Ye Youyou froze mid-step and looked at Guan Queye in disbelief and stupefaction.

When Shen Luo'an heard Guan Queye's screams, his face turned angry. He barked, "Get lost!"

Ye Youyou stood dumbfounded. She watched as Shen Luo'an scooped Guan Queye up. Her heart began to ache.

Guan Queye buried her face in Shen Luo'an's chest and wailed. Her hand gripped his clothes. In between her sobs, she said, "I know you liked Shen Luo'an, but why did you have to destroy my life? My life could have been as perfect as yours. Why? Luo'an…"

Shen Luo'an held on to Guan Queye's hand. His grip tightened as he cajoled her in a low voice. "It's fine now. Don't be afraid. It's all in the past. Don't cry. Be good."

Guan Queye's sobs grew even more intense. She squeezed his clothes in her fists and cried, "Luo'an, Luo'an…"

Shen Luo'an heart ached. He looked at Ye Youyou with abhorrence in his eyes as he shouted at her, "Get lost!"

As Guan Queye was carried back to her room, Ye Youyou remained unmoving and at a loss of what to do. She helped push the wheelchair back into the room and entered it only to see Shen Luo'an gently covering Guan Queye with the blanket.

That expression in his eyes, and those gentle gestures, had once been directed to her. Ever since that incident, they had stopped.

"Luo'an…" Guan Queye's sobs slowly ebbed off. With squinted eyes, as if she didn't know that Ye Youyou had entered, she asked, "Is Youyou gone?"

Shen Luo'an turned around and looked at Ye Youyou. The look in his eyes deepened. He instantly turned his face back and replied, "She's gone."

In a demeanor that was overflowing with grievance, Guan Queye wept and whimpered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I still can't bring myself to forgive her, Luo'an. I'm your good friend, aren't I? You won't leave me, will you?"

Shen Luo'an's heart ached for her. He sat on the bed and gently coaxed, "What are you saying? If you're tired, just rest. I'll be here with you."

Guan Queye began to sob as she closed her eyes, and said, "Actually, I can understand why Ye Youyou pushed me down the cliff years ago. Back then…"

Buzz…

Ye Youyou's mind suddenly buzzed blankly as an unspeakable fury rose up in her and spread through every bone in her body from top to toe. As if from instinct, Ye Youyou bellowed in anger, "Bullsh*t!"

Guan Queye reacted as if she was shocked. Her body jerked back forcefully as her eyes opened. She looked in Ye Youyou's direction and whimpered, "Youyou…"

"Guan Queye!" Ye Youyou marched up and looked Guan Queye in the eye. Her rage was uncontainable as she said, "You clearly fell off on your own that night! Why are you maligning me?"

That explains everything! No wonder for so many years everyone has put the blame on me. Even Shen Luo'an didn't believe me. All along, it was Guan Queye who personally said it!

Ye Youyou's suspicions were suddenly confirmed, yet she couldn't bring herself to accept it.
