However, Anhao was unusually calm as she looked at D.
D seemed to read her eyes. His eyes darkened and he slowly walked to the door of the ward.â Mrs. Zuo, Mr. Zuo used his life to exchange for your life. Please take care of yourself and donât let Mr. Zuo sacrifice himself in vainâ¦â
âDidnât you say that there were no corpses left? That means the body hasnât been found.â Anhao suddenly opened her mouth, and there was a slight smile in her eyes.âWithout a body, it canât be proved that heâs dead. How can it be considered a sacrifice?â
D didnât speak.
âHas the fire at the farm been controlled? Can we search now? I want to go and look for him. At that time, he was buried by something and wasnât injured by the explosion. Perhaps he had already escaped. Perhaps he was waiting for me to find himâ¦â
âThe fire has been put out. The fire within hundreds of miles around the farm burned for two days and two nights before it was put out. That open space has been blown into a wasteland. Moreover, Mrs. Zuo, after you were sent to the hospital, you were unconscious for three days because of a high fever. It has already been three daysâ¦â
âSo what if itâs three days? A person would not die if they did not eat or drink for three days. Zuo Yue had also been on a hunger strike for five days before she fainted and was sent to the hospital. It had only been three days. Zuo Hancheng was so healthy and his stamina was so good. How could he not even last three days? He must still be waiting for me. Iâm going to find him.â
As she spoke, Anhao opened the door of the ward and walked out.
Anyway, it was hot outside and she did not need to find a coat to wear. It did not matter even if she was wearing a hospital gown. She could wear anything as long as she could find Zuo Hancheng.
âMrs. Zuo.â D stood still and looked at the pale woman who was walking unsteadily.âPlease accept realityâ¦We all have to accept realityâ¦â
âAccept what reality? How did it become a reality when the body was not found?âAnhao suddenly turned to look at D, but he was once Zuo Hanchengâs most loyal confidant. She couldnât bear to be angry at him, like how she was angry at the An family and the man who stood up and claimed to be her father. She just glared at D.âZuo Hancheng is not dead! Heâs still alive!â
D stopped talking. He just looked at the woman who was already scarred with the same pain, self-blame, and pity as her. After a long time, he said,âMrs. Zuo, thereâs actually something that I didnât know until now.â
Anhao looked at him with a strangely calm expression. Her voice was also calm,ââWhat is it?â
âI never understood what Mister Zuo had said about that matter. Perhaps I finally have an answer now. Just like when Mr. Zuo inexplicably married you back then, Mr. Zuo was clearly so indifferent that he didnât even have the time to love someone, but he could actually care for you so much that he really fell in love with you and really put you at easeâ¦â
Annelle did not quite understand and stared at him in confusion.âAre you saying that Zuo Coldcheng had other motives when he married me?â
âIf this can make Mrs. Zuoâs longing and sadness for Mr. Zuo disappear a little, you can think of it this way.â
âWhat do you mean?â Anhaoâs expression turned cold.
âTo put it simply, when Mr. Zuo married you back then, perhaps it was really a coincidence, but Mr. Zuo had too many responsibilities on his shoulders. He was really so busy that he didnât have the time to love anyone or the energy to take care of young girls. Iâm not too sure about the beginning of your marriage, but what I can confirm now is that Mr. Zuo paid more and more attention to you, which led to the development of your relationship until now. Actually, it has a lot to do with your background and your father.â
Father?
Anhao thought of the tall man in black just now.
âThe man in the black windbreaker just now claimed to be my father.âAnhao looked at D indifferently.â
âHe is Mr. Arel, the godfather of the American mafia, the number one lord of the American mafia.âD answered honestly. Under Anhaoâs stunned gaze, he said softly,ââ Since J was able to tell from your face that you looked very similar to your mother, and suspected that you and Mr. Arel might be related, Mr. Zuo also knew that Mr. Arel had a woman whom he could not forget before he left America ten years ago. He also coincidentally saw a photo of that womanâ¦â
Anhaoâs gaze suddenly turned a little stiff. She stared at D stiffly. Every word he spat out was like a knife scratching her heart. However, it was only a light touch, and she did not feel much pain.
âSo, Zuo Hancheng already knew about my background a long time ago?âAnhaoâs voice suddenly sounded very faint, so faint that D frowned slightly.
âI think so.â
In Dâs eyes, Anhao might have developed a grudge against Zuo Hancheng because she knew about this, but Anhao did not ask anything about Mr. Arel. She did not even feel anything about her own background and how she had suddenly jumped from an abandoned illegitimate daughter to the biological daughter of the godfather of the American government.
âThank you.â Anhao unexpectedly smiled at him again, then turned around and walked back to the ward without saying a word.
D stood outside the ward and did not move. He sighed in his heart.
He wondered if Mr. Zuo would be unhappy if he told Anhao about this. After all, his feelings for Anhao had nothing to do with this. The so-called trump card was just a perfunctory excuse to Mr. Arel after he found out about Anhaoâs background. He loved Anhao, but this was not even a tenth of the reason.
Everyone had seen how selfless Mr. Zuo was towards Anhao, so how could they use such an excuse to cover it up?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, if she didnât find a way to calm Anhao down, she might really rush into the ruins to search for him. Her body couldnât take it at all.
In the ward-
Anhao stood in front of the window and looked out the window at the noon sun.
She had been uneasy for the past four years and could not get her feet on the ground. At this moment, she finally felt at ease.
She had never known why Zuo Hancheng would keep her by his side. Now that she finally understood, she was happy to know the truth.
At least, if Zuo Hancheng had met another girl, he might not have married her. He definitely would not have married her. He wouldnât put his attention on others!
At least Zuo Hanchengâs gaze was on her the whole time, and it was not like those melodramatic and ridiculous reasons that she had imagined.
At least in her heart and in her world, Zuo Hancheng had finally become a real person. He was becoming more and more real.
