Mr. Fu was silent for a long time. Suddenly, there was a "snap" sound outside the window, caused by the wind breaking a small branch from the tree.
"I never told anyone," Mr. Fu said.
Wei Ronghua, with tears in her eyes, scrutinized Mr. Fu, trying to discern the truth in his words. Fu Zhengjun was no longer alive, leaving her with no possibility of confirming the truth.
"I hope Father is not lying to me."
Wei Ronghua wiped her tears harshly, uttered a sentence, and stumbled out.
Before she opened the door, Fu Yuling hastily slipped into the nearby bathroom. Once the footsteps faded away, she clutched her chest as she emerged, her face complex as she looked in the direction where Wei Ronghua disappeared.
Her heartbeat was rapid, which was a heavy burden for someone with a heart condition, causing intense discomfort.
Fu Yuling opened her mouth to breathe, aiding in adjustment.
After a good while, she finally felt less discomfort, though the shock in her heart did not cease.
