“Do you think I’ll still believe your words? You better confess everything, and maybe I can still spare your life,” Huo Yunshen said as he looked at her coldly.

At this moment, his promise to Tang Shiguang to take care of Tang Shixue back then had been cleanly voided by her actions.

“It really wasn’t me, Brother Yunshen. I chose to back out long ago. I only wanted to live peacefully with my son. I also didn’t expect that Mike needed a bone marrow transplant for his illness, and it just happened that he needed Jing Xi’s bone marrow…”

Tang Shixue tried hard to explain, but it only made Huo Yunshen even angrier. “Shut up! I’ve ordered someone to investigate the truth. Your son’s and Jing Xi’s bone marrows are completely incompatible. It was you who colluded with the doctor to forge a fake bone marrow compatibility report. Do you still deny it?”

“No, I didn’t. I really don’t know what was going on…”

Tang Shixue no longer had the energy to defend herself. In the end, she looked at the couple and said, “What do you want me to do so you would believe in my innocence?”

Huo Yunshen was silent, but Xu Xiyan picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table and tossed it in front of Tang Shixue. “If you want to prove your innocence, then commit suicide!”

Xu Xiyan had said that in order to test Tang Shixue, and Tang Shixue believed that she was serious. At this moment, she had nothing more to say.

She fell to the ground on her knees, reached out with a trembling hand and picked up the fruit knife from the ground. Her eyes were filled with even more tears.

Only when she was dead could she prove her innocence.

It didn’t matter if she was dead, but what about her son, Mike?

If she thought about it, Mike would not live anyways since he could not get a bone marrow transplant. If her son died, she could not live anymore either. That settled it then!

She would use her death to bring this to an end.

She had owed Huo Yunshen a great debt for so many years. It was time to repay him.

She had decided. Tang Shixue lifted her tearful eyes. They were full of grief. “I’m sorry. If I can dispel your hatred with my death, I will die. But I only have one last request: please take care of Mike till the last of his days. When the time comes, please bury him with me.”

After Tang Shixue said this, she held the handle of the fruit knife with both of her hands and lifted it up in the air. Then she swung it down toward her heart.

However…

There was a clatter as the knife in her hands had been kicked away by Xu Xiyan and was sent tumbling across the floor. Tang Shixue snapped her tear-filled eyes open and looked at her in astonishment.

Didn’t she want her to die?

“It’s okay, Sister Shixue. We believe you. Get up!”

“You don’t want me to die?” Tang Shixue asked incredulously.

“What is the use of your death? What we want to do is catch the real behind-the-scenes mastermind. You were innocently exploited and you’re excused.”

Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen had not yet reached the point where they were so blind that they could not tell the difference between right and wrong. Before this, the couple had discussed among themselves and had agreed to do it just to test whether Tang Shixue was being used by someone else.

After clearing their suspicions, Tang Shixue naturally didn’t have to commit suicide anymore.

Tears flowed from Tang Shixue’s eyes as she said to both of them, “Thank you… thank you for believing me…”

As Xu Xiyan helped Tang Shixue up, Yi Xiao brought two children into the room.

Mike ran in and plunged into Tang Shixue’s arms. Tang Shixue felt as though she had been to hell and back, and it was really fortunate to be able to see her son again now.

She had gotten back her life. She hugged her son and kissed him over and over again, cherishing their precious reunion.
