144 Disappeared

In fact, although Qu Zhi appeared to be busy for so many days, she was still feeling uncomfortable in her heart.

Ever since Liang Na came, she had been feeling uncomfortable.

It wasn’t that Liang Na wasn’t likable, but Liang Na had changed so much that Qu Zhi suddenly felt like she was a stranger.

And Liang Na’s child, Hu Hai. Qu Zhi could still remember his appearance. He was chubby, short, and had small facial features, just like Hu Dong. This child was introverted and strange. He didn’t like to talk and liked to lose his temper.

Every time he returned home, Chuchu was unwilling to play with him. She even secretly gave this little brother a nickname, Carrot.

Because Hu Hai’s face was always red and he was short, he looked like a Carrot in the ground.

‘Carrot’ didn’t have any objections to this nickname. When Chuchu called him, he agreed as long as Chuchu was willing to play with him.

It was said that ‘Carrot’ was always bullied in school. Everyone thought that he was stupid and ugly, like a country bumpkin, and everyone wanted to kick him.

However, only Qu Zhi knew that the child was innocent. Hu Dong’s domestic violence had also reached his son.

They clearly had the same face, but Hu Dong insisted that Liang Na had an affair and had someone else’s child. When Hu Hai was very young, he was beaten by Hu Dong and had some problems with his head. He even took a lot of medicine, but Hu Dong didn’t think much of it.

Qu Zhi still remembered that this child had called her “Aunt” when she was young, and she had liked him very much back then.

No one in the family was willing to treat Qu Zhi well except for these children. He was still a boy.

Qu Zhi was envious at that time. Why didn’t she have a boy? At that time, she already had two girls. The Liang family didn’t treat her well, and her maternal family didn’t like her either. When she looked at the cute boy, her heart was in turmoil.

Although children were no longer her weakness, the ‘Carrot’ had disappeared from her world.

Qu Zhi’s heart felt empty.

She couldn’t tell what was wrong, but she just felt uncomfortable.

On the morning of their departure, Qu Zhi woke up very early.

She had a strange dream. She dreamed that she was still lying on the bed in the operating room. The doctor was talking in her ear, but she couldn’t hear clearly what he was saying. She only heard one sentence, “The operation was very successful. Then, she was pushed out again.”

Her grown-up children were all gathered outside. She looked around in a daze but didn’t see Liang Wen. He probably went to work or didn’t care at all.

Liang Xiao also came. He held Qu Zhi’s hand for a long time and blamed his Sisters. “Didn’t you say it was a minor surgery? Look at how many hours it took!”

But after a while, Liang Xiao seemed to have received a call and left the ward again, closing the door behind her.

Her two daughters stood beside her and asked her indifferently, “Does it hurt?” The outline of Chuchu’s face was clear, and Qu Zhi didn’t feel like she was dreaming at all.

Of course, it hurt. Qu Zhi’s face was still covered in tears when she woke up. Qu Zhi’s face was pale and her forehead was covered in cold sweat as she panted heavily. Liang Wen was so frightened that he hugged her in his arms. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Qu Zhi shook her head, her tears falling uncontrollably. The illusions in the dream disappeared one by one, leaving only a clear-headed and lonely Qu Zhi.

She didn’t miss the old days at all, but when faced with their disappearance, she still felt that her life didn’t feel real. It was like waking up and still being in a dream.

Although she was living a free and independent life now, her past memories were still like shackles.

She wanted to get rid of all this, but she had nowhere to put her memories. She still could not easily forget those people or things that should have disappeared or forgive her past self.

Liang Wen fell asleep again with her in his arms. He still had many things to do, and rest was precious to him.

Qu Zhi looked at the sky outside. In the distance, at the edge of Jiang City, the blue-gray sky had already begun to turn white.

It was dawn.

After a long day of driving, everyone was exhausted.

They didn’t know the way and even went the wrong way while looking at the map. In the end, they asked along the way and finally reached their destination.
