In her heart, she was actually still waiting for Ning Shu to apologize. A person who had been good to her for almost twenty years had suddenly started treating her poorly; it was a bit too much for Shi Sinan to take in all at once.

  On the other hand was a person who always mistreated her. But when he showed a little tenderness, she instantly compromised. It was the typical late stages of Stockholm Syndrome.

  Ning Shu stood up, intending to leave. There were many things waiting for her, so she wouldn’t waste her time on Shi Sinan.

  “I……” Ning Shu hadn’t finished her sentence when the phone on the table not far from the hospital bed rang.

  Shi Sinan looked a bit excited when she heard her phone ring.

  She even sat up from her hospital bed.

  But soon, she lay back down, feeling dizzy and wanting to vomit from moving around so much. The wound on her nose was also bursting with pain.

  Shi Sinan felt her nose leaking a wet, sticky, warm liquid.

  The phone on the table was still ringing and vibrating.

  Shi Sinan looked at Ning Shu. “Mom.”


  Her eyes swiveled around as she switched between the phone and Ning Shu.

  However, it was obvious that she wasn’t in a good state now that her lips were as pale as paper.

  The power of love was indeed remarkable.

  Ning Shu picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID; it was her so-called younger brother.

  She directly hung up and said to Shi Sinan, “Your current condition isn’t suitable for a phone call. Focus on recovering.”


  “Mom.” Shi Sinan hissed at Ning Shu. Her gaze darkened when Ning Shu took her mobile, and her gauze turned red from the blood flowing out of her nose.

  Ning Shu pressed the alarm button on the bedside table to notify the doctor.

  Shi Sinan looked at Ning Shu stubbornly. “Why did you hang up?”


  Ning Shu said indifferently, “I confiscated your phone and your credit card. Where did you get the money to buy the phone?”


  She did not need to ponder too deeply to know that this cell phone was bought by Xi Mucheng.

  Ning Shu flipped through the contacts. There was only Xi Mucheng’s number, as well as some text messages with ambiguous and provocative words.

  Ning Shu didn’t know why but she got goosebumps all over her body. She was disgusted.

  By now, Shi Sinan should understand that Xi Mucheng was her uncle. Even though they weren’t related by blood, they were legally kin.

  No matter what, it was incest.

  Despite knowing that it was wrong, Shi Sinan’s mouth kept calling out Uncle as she moaned under her uncle’s body.

  Ning Shu felt like this three views shockwave was about to destroy her view of the world.

  Shi Sinan looked at Ning Shu in shock. She was stunned that her mother had gone through her phone with such disregard for her wishes and privacy.

  “Mom, how could you do that?” Shi Sinan’s brain ached. When did her mother become like this?

  In a few moments, a doctor came over and pressed Shi Sinan down to treat her wound.

  Ning Shu placed the phone on the table, turned, and left.

  She wouldn’t come to the hospital anymore.

  What happened to Shi Sinan was none of her business.

  The whole Shi family didn’t hold as much weight in Shi Sinan’s heart as Xi Mucheng.

  Sometimes, women were an existence that could kill their parents for men.

  Women in this life only cared about men. The one they talked the most about, missed the most, and blamed the most was men.

  Men, men, all just men……
