“I took some jobs while I was at home taking care of our kid. One time I was meeting with a client, he and his mom rushed up and scolded me for cheating with other men out there. They even hit my client. I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I filed for divorce.”

“I was still breastfeeding my baby at that time, and I thought that the court would support me as long as I filed for divorce. I didn’t expect them to bribe the mental hospital into diagnosing me with a mental illness to make me leave the child. When we were in court, they explained that I was unfit to raise the child because I didn’t have a regular income and a fixed residence. It was obvious that it would be better for the child to be with the family…”

Upon hearing that, Ye Tianxin asked, “Didn’t you get anything when you divorced?”

“No, I didn’t. He owned too many demolition houses. His parents thought that I married him for money, so they asked me to sign a prenuptial agreement. Although he made some money after we got married, it was not much. I only had 50,000 yuan after the divorce, which I used to rent a house in the suburbs and set up my studio. Gradually, my life was on the right track…”

Ye Tianxin asked again, “Didn’t you see your child during this time?”

The woman shook her head and said, “No, I didn’t. They didn’t let me see him. When the child was older and went to school, I could secretly go to the school to see him later. Not long ago, I applied to the court for a change of custody and told him that I would put up a basketball hoop for him in the yard of the new house, but…”

“I understand how you feel.”

Only those who had lost a child would understand the pain of losing their beloved child.

Ye Tianxin knew this woman’s pain.

She understood the feeling of powerlessness.

It was as if she was the only one in the whole world.

She was alone on an isolated island with no help at all.

“No, you won’t understand. My son died. His father didn’t want to find out what had happened to his son, he just wanted compensation. I don’t want money. I only want my son back. I only want my son to wake up…”

“People cannot be resurrected from the dead. I’m sorry for your loss.”

The woman nodded and said, “I know that, but… who can bring people back from the dead?”

After being silent for a while, the woman said to Ye Tianxin, “Will you have a drink with me?”

“Yes.” Ye Tianxin felt sorry for the woman in front of her. She saw herself in her. “Do you mind if I buy you a drink at my hotel bar?

“Okay.”

The two went to the hotel bar.

“Two, please.”

The bartender made two cocktails for Ye Tianxin and the woman.

The cocktail was sweet and sour, and the taste was particularly refreshing.

Ye Tianxin felt something was wrong after taking a few sips…

She looked at the wine glass strangely and said to the woman, “Sorry, I’m not feeling so good. Is it okay if I leave first?”

“Do you need me to help you upstairs?”

“No, thank you.”

Seeing that there was still a bit of wine in the cup, Ye Tianxin said to the bartender, “I’m staying in the room upstairs. I’ll bring the glass down tomorrow.”

Ye Tianxin forced her way into the elevator.

She called Guan Chenxi as soon as she entered the elevator.

“Sister Chenxi, wait for me at the elevator door.”

When the elevator arrived, Ye Tianxin handed Guan Chenxi the cocktail glass in her hand as soon as she saw her.

“There seems to be something wrong with the wine in the glass. You go to Shangguan Ling and check it for me.”
