"Her tears always make me feel a sense of helplessness. It's as if I would be willing to do anything to make her stop crying."
Ling Yiran cried out loud and suddenly leaped into Yi Jinli's embrace, bawling noisily.
She could not explain why she had done such a thing at this time. And yet, when she hugged him with her face pressed to his chest, it was if she did not need to suppress herself and she could release all the hurt in her heart without fear.
Yi Jinli lowered his head and studied the woman sobbing in his embrace. He hugged her gently, letting her cry her heart out.
Ling Yiran didn't know how long she had been crying for and when it ended, it was as if there were no more tears for her to shed.
Yi Jinli used a tissue to gently wipe the tears from her face. "Sister, can you tell me what really happened?"
"It's Grandma," she said as she sniffled.
"Did she come to you to beg for leniency?" he asked, his gaze darkening slightly.
"No, Grandma just asked if I was fine and told me to ignore my relatives, saying that they should be locked up for as long as they deserve," Ling Yiran replied in a nasal tone.
Yi Jinli was rather surprised. "Your grandmother is a good woman."
"Grandma is very good to me," Ling Yiran murmured. "It just never occurred to me that Grandma's treatment of me would be so good. She is willing to be at odds with the entire family in the name of upholding justice for me."
"What about you? Do you want to let your relatives go?" Yi Jinli asked.
"Sister, you don't have to be so nervous. Clenching your hand like this will only make it harder for the wound to heal," he said, noticing that blood had already seeped through the bandage around her palm.
It appeared that her wound had been torn open when she had clenched it into a fist just then.
Yi Jinli pressed the button to call for the nurse.
The nurse arrived shortly and when she heard of the situation, she hurriedly removed the bandages from Ling Yiran's right hand. The wound on Ling Yiran's palm which had been caused by the mirror shard during the previous night's incident was bleeding incessantly.
The nurse applied some medicine on the wound to stop the bleeding.
