Gu Yan kept wondering, if only she had left with him back then, would they now be living happily as a family of three in another world.
She wouldn't have gone through everything she did later; she wouldn't be like she is now, enduring so much pain while pretending to be strong for others to see.
Once, she yearned so much for family affection, but now, she would rather spend the rest of her life alone than become what she is now.
People are too greedy, and in the end, they only harm themselves.
She gained the long-desired family affection, but lost the only happiness left in her life.
The person she loves the most, she must stay away from.
Gu Yan sorrowfully placed a hand over her chest, as though she were suffocating.
What she once had with Tang Yuxiu has also left her, never to belong to her again.
Gu Yan gradually curled up, embracing herself, trying to find a bit of comfort.
The pain in her abdomen was obvious, but she seemed to no longer feel it.
