Chapter 12 — My Late Light

It turned out that the ferocious scream that he heard outside the door that day was not because Hua Nam Am was acting, but because she was in great pain. It turned out that in that dark forbidden room, what she had to endure was an unimaginable torture. Just hearing people tell it in their own words, Chu Nghien Thu found it difficult to accept, let alone Hua Nam Am, who went through it all herself? How much pain she had to endure! Chu Nghien Thu's eye sockets were hot, her vision gradually blurred. He remembers that day. And he, right at a place just a few meters away from her, heard So So's light-hearted words "she's acting" and actually turned around and left. There was a severe pain in my heart, as if a living person had touched and torn a piece out of me. Chu Nghien Thu hugged his chest, gasping for breath, regret and self-blame almost engulfing him. Chu Chu Chu had never seen Chu Nghien Thu like that, a Chu Nghien Thu full of tears and despair. "Brother Nghien Thu, listen to my explanation..." Chu Chu So Chu's face turned pale, tears were coming, she tried an old trick, rushing to hug Chu Nghien Thu's waist: "I just wanted to scare her, I was just joking with her! I don't really want to hurt her. It's because her body is not good, it's because she's too weak." "Are you kidding?" Chu Nghien Thu suddenly bowed her head, her eyes filled with unprecedented strangeness and disgust, and pushed her away with one hand: "Using an electric baton to attack someone, feeding someone rotten rice... This is your so-called joke?" Chu Nghien Thu's voice was trembling, which was a sign of extreme anger. He looked at Chu So Chu in front of him, the person he once held in his palm was afraid of melting, now in his eyes he looked like a strange monster: "So So, I always thought you were just arbitrary, just a little childish." "But I didn't expect that you could actually go to such extremes." "It was me who was wrong, it was me spoiling you to the point of being lawless, making you turn into the cold-blooded look you are now!" Chu Chu So was caught in the glare of his eyes. His voice was scared, his lips trembled, still trying to explain: "Brother Nghien Thu, I really don't have any malicious intentions. Who knew her body was so bad, she couldn't stand even a little joke..." "Enough!" Chu Nghien Thu interrupted her with a stern voice, his eyes as cold as iron: "This time, I won't cover for you anymore. If you made a mistake, you will bear the consequences yourself!" "No!" Chu Nghien Thu had just taken a few steps when the corner of her shirt was grabbed tightly by a pair of hands. Chu So So didn't care about his image, struggling to crawl on the ground, his face streaked with tears, but his eyes revealed a cruel and desperate look as if he was betting everything: "Brother Nghien Thu! Do you really want to be so heartless? Have you forgotten who saved you that year? Now because of an outsider, do you want to personally send your life-saving benefactor to prison?" The four words "life-saving benefactor" were like a heavy shackle, immediately squeezing Chu Nghien Thu's throat. His steps suddenly stopped, his back stiffened. Memories rush back like a tide. In that dark, damp basement, when he was scared, Chu So Chu stood up. Instead he was beaten and punished, leaving him sick. Chu Nghien Thu closed her eyes, her heart felt like it was being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand. He turned around and looked at Chu So Chu's tear-stained face like a pear flower in the rain. The tears in his eyes finally dissipated a bit, replaced by a deep fatigue and helplessness: "This is the last time." "This time, I will help you think of a way." "But Chu So Chu, remember, there will be no next time." "If you let me know that you have this kind of twisted mind, no one can protect you." When Chu Chu So heard that, his tense body immediately softened. He fell limp, a glint of joy in his eyes

to achieve the goal: "Thank you, Nghien Thu, I know you love me the most." Chu Nghien Thu said no more and drove to the hospital. He needs Hua Nam Am to withdraw the lawsuit. As long as she is willing to let go, things still have a way to turn around. Because of Chu So Chu's "life-saving grace", he was willing to owe Hua Nam Am one more time. Pushing open the hospital room door, Hua Nam Am was leaning on the head of the bed, Co Tinh Da was holding a glass of water for her to drink. Seeing Chu Nghien Thu enter, both of their movements stopped. "What are you doing here? I told you, Nam Am will not forgive you." Co Tinh Da looked like he was facing a great enemy. Chu Nghien Thu looked at Hua Nam Am, thought of the purpose of his visit today, then averted his eyes in guilt: "Nam Am, withdraw the lawsuit." Chu Nghien Thu did not chatter, spoke straight to the point, his tone carrying a hint of pleading that was hard to detect: "I know you feel resentful, but after all, So So is still young and doesn't understand things. If he has a criminal record, his whole life will be ruined." Hua Nam Am put down the glass of water and looked at him coldly. Me: "Chu Nghien Thu, are you crazy? She almost killed me, you told me to forgive her? You still want me to withdraw the lawsuit?" "I know, I know it's wrong." Chu Nghien Thu took a step forward and tried to pull Hua Nam Am's hand, but she avoided it. He awkwardly retracted his hand, took a deep breath, and said helplessly: "Nam Am, out of respect for me, let it go this time."
