Chapter 929

"That year, her eyes were red almost every day, and at night, she would always cry by herself .

"That was also the year she grew up . In the past, when she dirtied her clothes, she would always get scolded by her mother, but her mother would still always be there to wash them for her . Once she left, there were several times I caught my girl washing her own clothes in the public tap nearby secretly . . . She was probably afraid to cause me trouble . . .

"Even though I admired her maturity, it made my heart ache .

"This is the photo she took after her high school exams for the university in Beijing . I personally sent her over there, look, there's a photo of both of us at Tiananmen Square . . . "

Father Song sighed deeply . "This was the year I fell ill and needed a huge sum for surgery . At that time, I had some savings that I wanted to leave for Sisi, but in the end, she managed to get enough money for the surgery .

"At that time, we were very poor . Sisi quit school to become a sales attendant at a mall . Every month, she would earn three thousand dollars which she would spend on my medicines . "

Xu Jiamu frowned .

At that time, he was already with her, but after he had given her the fifty thousand dollars, she never asked him for another cent .

She was attending A college and sometimes, when she received calls from him, she would head over for the night, but would often leave early in the morning for lessons . Many times when he had scheduled a meeting with her, he would fetch her at the entrance of A college, hence he always assumed she was still attending A college, not knowing that she had quit school .

"Afterwards, she became an actress . There was once I visited her at set . The conditions were harsh, and it was winter at that time . She caught a cold and was running a high fever, but she still persisted on continuing with filming . It really broke my heart . . . There was also once when she seemed to have angered someone, enduring two slaps, her face was swollen and her clothes were tattered . She ran home and when she saw me, she just broke down . . . "

Father Song started to tear up . "At that time, she must have been devastated and helpless . She must have not been able to find anyone, so she came back, but I wasn't capable enough to help her . She stayed at home for about half a month before returning back to set . Afterwards, she seemed to realize that coming back would worry me so she never complained about anything anymore, but I knew that she must have struggled during those few years . On hindsight, I was really a useless father . . "

Xu Jiamu suddenly remembered how at the door of City Hospital he had asked her why she continued to film even when her feet was swollen . At that time, she had said that she had endured the pain all the time . . .

When he heard that, his heart broke, and now it hurt even more . It was as if someone had stabbed a dagger deep into his heart, sending a sharp piercing pain throughout him .

They had been together for eight years… She had been lying beside him for eight years . . . That was about three thousand nights, but he’d had no idea that she was in pain, had been beaten, that she was sick, upset, happy, or had quit school . . .
