Chapter 137 A sister who would do anything for love is better off without.
However, at this moment, the anger and disappointment in Su's father's heart had completely overwhelmed his pity for his daughter. His eyes remained unwavering as he quietly waited for the police to arrive.
Su Lin's face was streaked with tears, her eyes were red, and her voice was trembling with sobs as she pleaded with her father, earnestly explaining her predicament and helplessness.
But Su's father was like a cold statue, sitting there motionless, his stern face showing no sign of softening. No matter how softly Su Lin pleaded or how sorrowfully she spoke, it had no effect whatsoever.
However, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Su Lin suddenly clutched her stomach with both hands, her brows furrowed, her face turned ashen, cold sweat instantly poured from her forehead, large beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks, and her body trembled slightly.
Although Su's father still had a cold face, his serious expression was like the frost of winter, but seeing Su Lin's appearance, he still felt sorry for her and hurriedly went to call the doctor without saying a word.
After that, I heard that Zhang Jieshu had run away.
Su's father's already tense expression became even more serious. His brows furrowed into a deep "川" shape, and his eyes were full of worry and anger. He paced back and forth in the ward, muttering something from time to time.
Suddenly, Su Lin's stomach pain stopped. Her eyes lit up with joy, and she insisted on going home, refusing to let the doctor examine her, completely unlike the person who had been in excruciating pain just moments before.
Su's mother stood to the side with an extremely strange expression. Her gaze was fixed on Su Lin like a searchlight, as if she wanted to see something out of her face. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
After a moment, Su's mother closed her eyes, a complex expression flashing across her face, as if she were lost in a long-forgotten memory, those long-buried past events surging into her mind like a tide.
She clenched her fist, her nails digging into her flesh unconsciously, leaving faint traces of blood. However, the atmosphere in the room was tense, and everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, so no one noticed this subtle change in her.
When they got home, Su's mother pulled Su aside, forcing a smile on her face, but the smile looked distant and strange. She said to Su in a soft but unquestionable voice, "You can stay in a hotel by yourself tonight. You can go wherever you want, just don't come home."
After saying that, he turned and left without even looking at Su Su's puzzled face.
Meanwhile, Su's parents sat with Su Lin at the dining table in their home. Under the incandescent light, the room, though decorated with a warm and inviting atmosphere, felt oppressively suffocating.
Su Lin was heavily pregnant and had difficulty moving around, but she still managed to get up and help her mother serve the dishes.
Even though Su's mother refused, she insisted on doing so. Su's mother looked at her coldly and stared at her intently.
Even though Su Lin said she wasn't used to it, her mother said, "You're pregnant, I need to keep a close eye on you. What if something goes wrong?"
Su Lin was annoyed, but she still smiled and urged her parents to eat more.
Before bed, Su Lin, as always, thoughtfully heated up some milk and served a cup to each of her parents.
She had hoped to ease the tense atmosphere, but when her parents took the milk, their increasingly strained expressions made Su Lin's heart feel like it was being suspended high in the throat by an invisible rope, and unease quickly spread through her heart.
"Is this really for us to drink?"
Su's father's voice was low and tinged with suspicion. His gaze was fixed intently on the milk cup in Su Lin's hand, as if trying to see through the cup to find something unusual. His brows furrowed slightly, making the wrinkles on his face appear even deeper.
"Really! Mom and Dad, I'll drink too!" Su Lin quickly put on a smile, trying to dispel the gloom of suspicion that filled the room.
As she spoke, she picked up her glass of milk, tilted her head back, and took a big gulp. White milk stains left a mark on the corner of her mouth, which she casually wiped away with her hand, like a child eager to prove herself.
Looking back on the days I spent with Zhang Jieshu after running away from home, my days and nights were reversed. Let alone milk, I was lucky to even have a hot meal.
She eats instant noodles almost every day or waits for her aunt to cook for her.
At home, her mother would bring her a glass of milk every night before bed without fail. At first, she complained that she was tired of drinking it every day.
But now, as the familiar milky aroma entered her mouth, she devoured it like a starving person, finding the milk sweeter than ever before, the sweetness flowing down her throat and into her heart.
In an instant, a trace of doubt, like a thin thread, gently wrapped around Su Lin's heart.
Memories of her time with Zhang Jieshu flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, making her wonder if this was really the life she wanted.
But as soon as the thought popped into her head, she quickly suppressed it as if afraid of getting burned, put on a smile again, looked at her parents with expectant eyes, and urged, "Mom and Dad, drink up."
Her eyes remained glued to the milk in the cup the entire time, her Adam's apple bobbing constantly as she unconsciously swallowed, as if the milk possessed a fatal attraction.
Seeing Su Lin's earnest urging, Su's mother felt a mix of emotions. After hesitating for a while, she reached out and handed her glass of milk to Su Lin, saying softly, "Lin'er, you're pregnant, you should drink more of this."
Su Lin seemed to be burned by fire; her body tensed instantly, and panic flashed in her eyes. She hurriedly waved her hands to refuse, her hands waving rapidly like drumsticks. Her voice rose a few decibels and trembled slightly as she said, "Mom, no need, I have some here. Please drink it."
Only after seeing her parents drink the milk did Su Lin feel a weight lifted from her shoulders. Her body relaxed slightly, her tense shoulders slumped, and a relaxed smile returned to her face. She mumbled, "Mom and Dad, get some rest," and then left the room with light steps.
As night deepened, the cool moonlight, like a thin veil, peeked through the cracks in the window into the originally dark and gloomy room. Strands of silver light fell, dispelling some of the thick darkness, and the outline of a human figure raised under the covers on the bed could be barely made out.
Suddenly, a dark figure flashed in, carrying a chilling aura—it was Zhang Jieshu!
He gripped a sharp kitchen knife tightly in his hand, the blade reflecting a chilling light under the gentle moonlight, like the fangs of the night.
His face was contorted with rage, his eyes flashing with ferocity. He lunged at the bed, raised the kitchen knife, and without a second thought, plunged it into the blankets.
Once, twice, three times...
The movements were frantic and resolute; the cotton wadding inside the quilt flew everywhere as the sharp blade pierced through, like a winter blizzard.
Several seconds passed before Zhang Jieshu noticed something was wrong. The expected resistance and screams did not occur. His hand holding the kitchen knife froze in mid-air, his brows furrowed, and the madness on his face faded, replaced by confusion and panic.
Just then, the room lights suddenly turned on, the blinding light causing Zhang Jieshu to instinctively close his eyes. After his eyes adjusted to the light, the scene before him sent a chill down his spine.
The police were in front of him, while Su Lin, who had just opened the door for him, had already covered her mouth with her mother's hand, her face blurred with tears.
Zhang Jieshu was arrested and sentenced to three years for attempted murder.
Su Lin cried and screamed, begging her parents to completely abandon her.
However, Su Lin kept fainting and waking up, then fainting again. She wouldn't eat or drink, but the baby in her belly was still stubbornly alive.
She was even born safely.
However, Su Lin abandoned the girl she gave birth to at her parents' doorstep, and then the Gu worms inside her activated, causing her to die from the stress.
Su's parents were heartbroken and, not wanting to cause trouble for the child, completely ignored Su Su's suggestion to send her to an orphanage.
Su Su felt helpless, but thought that she should go home less often in the future, otherwise there would be trouble.
Anyway, she's already taken the college entrance exam, so she'll rarely go home anymore.
As for Su Lin, she did not find peace even after death. Su Su flipped through the novel in her hand, where the female protagonist was tortured both physically and emotionally by the male protagonist, yet she still loved him unconditionally.
Su Su smiled happily.
Her friend, who was playing with her, thought she had seen something funny and went over to take a look.
It reeks of a melodramatic story about a substitute ex-wife revealing her heart, and the female lead's name is Su Lin.
A friend gave Su Lin a thumbs up, saying, "Ruthless, you're ruthless!"
She even shares the same name as her older sister; what a ruthless person.
Three years passed quickly, but Zhang Jieshu couldn't endure three years in prison. Every day, he repeated the scene of being killed, and while he was screaming, the doctor couldn't find anything wrong with his body.
This caused Zhang Jieshu to become extremely depressed, and he eventually suffered a mental breakdown and committed suicide.
