"What happened, why are you so flustered?"

"Yang Qiao, let’s go check on Yang Zi. Ning Mo... didn’t wake up."

Yang Qiao’s nose stung sharply, "What do you mean she didn’t wake up?"

"She’s gone."

"She... is gone?"

Xiao Anze nodded worriedly, staring at Yang Qiao without blinking, afraid she might faint from the shock.

However, at this moment, Yang Qiao was completely stunned.

That sentence was like a curse, repeating endlessly in Yang Qiao’s mind, telling her again and again that the woman who had saved her was dead...

After who knows how long, Yang Qiao finally came to her senses and asked, "Where is Yang Zi?"

"In the ward. Come on, I’ll take you there."

Ning Mo had been taken away, and only Yang Zi was left alone in the ward.

He sat beside the empty bed, staring blankly at it, his eyes hollow and lifeless.

The moment Yang Qiao saw him, her eyes began to well up with tears.

She and Yang Zi had grown up together, and no matter how big the problem was, she had never seen such an expression on Yang Zi’s face.

Xiao Anze stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her as they walked in.

Hearing a noise behind him, Yang Zi lightly lifted his eyelids before dropping them again, speaking in a low voice, "Please, let me just sit here for an hour. Just one hour..."

The crew had already returned to City B, but because Ning Mo never woke up, he chose to stay and wait for her. Little did he know she wouldn’t wake up; she was gone.

Seemingly recalling something painful, Yang Zi wiped his face with his hand, taking a deep breath.

"Ah Zi~"

Startled by the voice behind him, Yang Zi’s body stiffened slightly, but he didn’t turn around. "Hmm," he responded.

"Ah Zi, let’s... go home~" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"You go ahead, I want to wait until she’s cremated and then go back with her."

Yang Qiao’s tears fell as she looked at Yang Zi’s back, discovering for the first time that her usually proper brother could also have such a lonely figure.

Xiao Anze held her in his arms, letting her cry.

The day Yang Qiao was discharged, the baby was also taken out of the incubator.

That night, Xiao Anze contacted Xiao Qing, asking his wife to send someone to take them back to City B. He also called Yang Zi, but couldn’t get through.

When they returned to City B, they learned that Yang Zi had returned a day earlier, and had taken the initiative to terminate his contract with New City Entertainment. After that, there was no more news of him.

Yang Qiao was very worried, and seeing her about to cry again because of Yang Zi, Xiao Anze immediately stopped her.

"Qiaoqiao, you just had a baby, you can’t cry. It won’t be good for your eyes when you get old, understand?"

Yang Qiao knew this well, but thinking about Ning Mo’s death and her own responsibility, and then thinking about Yang Zi, she couldn’t help but want to cry.

Ning Mo and Yang Zi had once been together. It wasn’t until they broke up that Yang Qiao found out. Afterwards, she tried to introduce girlfriends to Yang Zi, but he politely declined. She would say he had high standards, too picky.

But now she realized, it wasn’t that his standards were too high, but that there was always someone in his heart...

Later, Yang Zi seemed to vanish into thin air, and in the Empire, no one knew where he went or what kind of life he was living. Whenever Yang Qiao thought of these things, she would lock herself up and cry silently.

After Yang Qiao returned, Xiao Qing finally found the chance to visit her. Before leaving, Lu Jincheng and Lu Xinyun insisted on tagging along, so she had no choice but to bring both children with her.
