Shi Qian choked on a large mouthful of water. She was drenched and slumped to the ground.

Dong Zi was about to speak when he suddenly heard Shi Qian cough.

He quickly knelt down. “Young Madam, are you okay?”

Shi Qian shook her head. “Dong Zi, why are you here?” Without waiting for Dong Zi to answer, Shi Qian’s voice sounded again. “I understand. Fu Sinian must not have told you yet. You don’t have to follow me in the future.”

With that, Shi Qian slowly stood up and walked forward.

Dong Zi was extremely anxious and immediately chased after her.

“Young Madam, you’re wet and it’s dark. Why don’t you get in the car with me and find a place to settle down?”

“Stop calling me Young Madam. Stop following me.”

“Shi Qian! Miss Shi!” Dong Zi stood in front of Shi Qian. “I’m your chauffeur and I’m paid.”

Suddenly, there was a blinding light in the distance. A car was quickly coming this way.

The car stopped. Someone got out and hurried over.

“Sister Yan!” Dong Zi looked at Xiao Yan as if she was his savior.

Xiao Yan had a coat in her hand. She ran to Shi Qian and immediately draped the coat over her shoulders.

“What’s going on? Qian Qian, what are you doing?” Xiao Yan questioned with heartache and anger.

“I wanted to sit on the reef for a while. My foot slipped,” Shi Qian explained softly.

Dong Zi opened his mouth but held back.

In that situation, her feet had not slipped. She had already walked so far. She clearly wanted to…

Xiao Yan didn’t say anything else. She hugged Shi Qian and got into her car.

“Dong Zi, we’re at the nearby Dongyu Hotel. Go straight there.”

“Okay, Sister Yan.”

After Xiao Yan and Shi Qian left, Dong Zi was about to get into the car when he suddenly realized that a figure was standing in the dark.

“Young Master Fu!” he called out in surprise.

No wonder he felt that the car Sister Yan had just driven looked familiar. That car seemed to belong to Young Master Fu!

However, he did not understand why Young Master Fu did not appear when he was clearly here.

Fu Sinian didn’t say anything. Instead, he opened the car door and sat in the backseat.

Dong Zi did not dare to ask anything. He started the car and drove in the direction of the Dongyu Hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel, Xiao Yan immediately took a bathrobe for Shi Qian.

“Qian Qian, go take a hot shower first.”

Shi Qian took the bathrobe and headed for the bathroom.

She turned on the shower and water gushed out. She tilted her head back and let the water hit her face.

“Qian Qian, everyone dies, sooner or later. When you were young, Mom was especially afraid of death because Mom still had something to worry about. However, Mom is not afraid now. You’re already old enough to take care of yourself. If one day, Mom really leaves, you have to be strong and brave and walk down the road alone.”

“Qian Qian, Mom feels that a person’s death doesn’t mean it’s over. It’s being forgotten. As long as you keep thinking about Mom, Mom will be by your side and always be with you.”

What her mother had once said to her appeared in Shi Qian’s mind.

Ever since her mother had been diagnosed with that illness, she had often said these things to her.

She just hoped that she would be able to face it calmly and accept it.

But how could she accept such an outcome?

She hadn’t even seen her mother for the last time!

The moment she fell into the sea, the feeling of suffocation made her body feel an instinctive fear. However, that fear lasted only a few seconds. If Dong Zi hadn’t pulled her back, she would have let herself be swept into the sea..
