"If you're so keen on dying, why not stab yourself instead of pulling this jumping off buildings stunt!" The man hissed coldly.
"I thought of stabbing ... "
Suddenly, Qiao Shinian felt something off with Huo Yanci's words.
When did she jump off a building?
"Madam, you're finally awake."
At this moment, housemaid Auntie Wang entered the room carrying a cup of water and some medication.
"Does your head hurt a lot? The doctor said you've shown symptoms of a mild concussion. He has prescribed these pills, would you take them now?"
Qiao Shinian did not answer Auntie Wang, for she noticed that she was lying in a large, spacious bedroom.
Judging by the interior decorations, it seemed to be the old Huo residence.
She had been admitted to a mental health facility for more than two years and hadn't visited here since.
Could it be that she was taken back to the house by Huo Yanci?
Wait a minute!
She had stabbed herself in the heart, even if she didn't die, she would have definitely ended up in surgery.
Anxiously, Qiao Shinian quickly checked her chest, it was surprisingly unscathed!
And her head and wrists were wrapped with a layer of medical gauze!
Hu Yan Ci frowned at Qiao Shi Nian's alternating painful and shocked expressions, growing increasingly impatient.
"Next time you decide to jump from a building, pick a higher one. A fall from the second floor won’t kill you!"
With that cold remark, he took long strides and headed out of the room.
Qiao Shi Nian, unconcerned with Hu Yan Ci, continued examining her body.
Her two years in the mental institution had made her pale and emaciated, but now her skin was fair, smooth, plump, and elastic! There were no scars or bruises on her arms from caregivers or fellow patients!
"Madam, the Master was just saying that out of anger,”
Aunt Wang, assuming she was upset, tried to soothe her, “There's no grudge between a husband and wife. You should talk to him later..."
"Aunt Wang, what day is it today?!"
Qiao Shi Nian was too shocked and eagerly interrupted Aunt Wang's words.
Aunt Wang looked puzzled, "Today is Miss Bai's birthday. You called the Master to return home because you heard that he was celebrating her birthday..."
Realizing Aunt Wang misunderstood her question, and without the time to explain, Qiao Shi Nian quickly glanced around her surroundings and grabbed the phone on her bedside table -
The date displayed was actually three years ago!
Suddenly, Qiao Shi Nian thought of something. She threw off her cover and jumped off the bed, dashing towards the flower room.
As she suspected, the flower room was a complete mess, with only the stems of various expensive flowers remaining—
Three years ago, when she heard that Huo Yanci was going to celebrate Bai Yiyi's birthday and even bought flowers for her, she furiously destroyed them all.
The shattered fragments cut her wrist. Ignoring the pain, she impulsively jumped off the second-floor balcony.
Although landing in a garden deflected any broken arms or legs, she hit her head on the edge of a flower bed, passing out on the spot...
--So, had she returned to three years ago?!
"Madam, why are you in the flower room again? The floor is all covered in ceramic fragments, you mustn't do anything foolish!"
Aunt Wang worried she would create more havoc and chased after her to implore, "The master cares for you. As soon as he heard that you were injured, he immediately hurried back......Master Huo!"
Hearing Aunt Wang's nervous tone, Qiao Shinian raised her head.
Not only the tall and handsome Huo Yanci was approaching, but also the elegantly dressed, gentle and dignified Bai Yiyi.
They stood side by side, forming a pair, like a wall standing right in front of her.
