Chapter 488: Her Deeds Weren’t Hidden
The sweet summer birds sang their own chirpy songs early in the morning as they saw the sun. For the humans who hear those songs, they safely assume that the birds are singing happy tunes. But are they really?
As the sky brightened, Chenglei woke up without knowing when he fell asleep. His hands were still holding his wife and she still seemed warm and his lips curved up, immediately. Is it really her warmth though?
"Xing," he called, his voice had no doubts. He believed whatever happened last night didn’t happen. He believed his wife wouldn’t actually leave him alone.
"Xing..., " her motionless state gave him a slight panic as his voice trembled a little.
Wake up, please!
"My love," his voice turned to a whisper as he touched her cheek.
She was pale... Deathly pale and stiff.
"So you did leave me," he fell over her and wept, bitterly. His tears trickled on her forehead and down through her scalp and face.
He felt like he cried only for a second but when he got up, he saw the sun out of the horizon and up in the sky.
Chenglei wiped her, kissed her on the forehead and stood up. He felt his entire body was weak and each step he took felt like he was carrying a ton on his back, yet he pushed himself forward.
He cleaned himself up, wore mourning robes and noticed that there was actually breakfast ready for them on the table. Like usual the maids didn’t disturb them and left thr breakfast on the table and left. There were two bowls, two sets of chopsticks and breakfast enough for two, like always.
But today is not another day, is it?
