In his mind, a series of scenes played like a slideshow—
That time she came to Britain alone to find him. At night, she begged him to stay, but he left her, leaving her alone in the room, heartbroken.
The scene switched to her holding onto him tightly with tears in her eyes, crying and questioning him, why they, as husband and wife, could not share their joys and sorrows?
Then another scene flashed by: the fierce sound of gunshots suddenly ringing out in the study, the shattered window glass falling to the ground, and her, trembling with fear, rushing through the gunfire towards him in the dark.
He remembered that period he least wanted to recall.
To keep her from danger, he heartlessly divorced her, abandoned her without concern, and didn't even glance at the child she gave birth to.
The vivid past pierced Gu Moqian's heart like a thorn, leaving him paralyzed.
