a few days ago.

In a nursing home in northern Myanmar.

It had been a while since Gu Siang left, and Qi Yao looked at the airtight room with despair on his face.

The smell of rot and fishy smell filled his nose, completely destroying his sense of smell.

Rats and cockroaches crawled everywhere, even lying on his wounds to feed on blood and carrion.

The pain could no longer replace any of Qi Yao's fears. The feeling of being eaten bit by bit and the sparse sounds made his scalp numb.

How can one die?

Qi Yao thought desperately.

Why can't you even die a simple death? !

Whenever Qi Yao thought he was finally free, the doctor would appear on time.

They gave him those expensive medicines but didn't cure him.

He only waited for 1/3 of his body to recover before leaving him here to let the newly grown flesh rot again.

Let him drag his lingering body and continue to wait for Gu Siang's next torture.

"Squeak!"

The sound of pushing the door interrupted Qi Yao's thoughts.

A young woman who looked like a nurse walked in carrying a dinner plate.

The light from outside filtered in through the crack in the door, bringing a little light to the dark room.

Qi Yao lay there, his chest with protruding ribs rising and falling slightly.

If it was before, he could knock down this young woman in an instant, grab the door and escape.

But now, he doesn't even have the strength to crush an ant.

The nurse's flat shoes made a sticky "thumping" sound on the rotten and smelly ground.

She held the dinner plate, stood next to Qi Yao, and said, "It's time for you to eat."

Qi Yao said nothing.

In his current state, he doesn't even have the energy to eat.

But must eat.

If he doesn't eat, someone will insert a tube into his stomach through his mouth and force-fed food.

The pain was much more intense than eating by himself.

Qi Yao stretched out his peeled hand, grabbed a handful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth.

He has almost all his teeth lost and cannot eat hard food.

Only the rice can be chewed a little and swallowed.

Of course, his stomach wasn't in good shape either.

Just digesting this small amount of food would be extremely tiring and painful.

Qi Yao gasped and wanted to turn over.

But he found that the female nurse who was supposed to leave was still standing beside him.

She asked him softly, "Are you okay? Qi Yao."

"..."

Qi Yao was in a daze for a moment.

Logically speaking, the people in the nursing home would treat him like the plague and avoid him.

No one would ever take the initiative to say a word to him.

Why is this nurse different from others?

wrong!

Something seems wrong!

Qi Yao struggled to turn his brain.

He remembered!

The figure of the woman in front of me is very familiar.

Her voice is also familiar.

An impossible possibility arises from the bottom of my heart.

Qi Yao was so excited that his weak internal organs even regained a little vitality, and his voice became much louder.

"It's you, is it you?"

Qi Yao kept repeating, "You came to see me, right?"

In fact, there was a fourth person involved in the kidnapping and ransom case that year.

However, this person only contacted Qi Yao alone, so the other two people who died did not know his existence.

Qi Yao, who lives alone, has never revealed this person to Gu Siang despite being tortured for so many years.

And now, she was standing in front of him.

Qi Yao blinked hard and stared at the woman's face.

Several years have passed.

Time has left no trace on a woman's face.

She is still so pretty.

Finally, the woman spoke.

Her voice was soft and shallow, filled with guilt, "It's me. I'm sorry, Qi Yao. My abilities are limited, and it took me so long to have the opportunity to come in and see you."

"It's really you, it's really you..."

Qi Yao's voice trembled.

Even that person's name has been called thousands of times in his heart.

Even when he was in the most difficult time, he spent time silently reciting this name!

But Qi Yao still didn't have the courage to shout those words.

He was afraid that she would be exposed.

Qi Yao felt a hot liquid flowing out of his eyes.

Those are tears.

Qi Yao hadn't shed tears for a long time.

Ever since he was caught by Gu Si'ang and imprisoned here, Qi Yao didn't know what sadness, sorrow, and tears were.

All he had was despair day after day.

He didn't expect that he would be able to see her again today!

"It must be hard for you to be like this, right?"

The woman knelt down, picked up Qi Yao's hand that could not be seen, and said with a choked voice, "I'm sorry, it was all me who hurt you. If it hadn't been me back then..."

"do not talk."

Qi Yao panted and interrupted the woman, "Everything is of my own free will."

The woman cried even harder, "Qi Yao, I can only come and see you, but I don't have the ability to rescue you. I'm so useless. I'm really sad to see you suffering here."

Qi Yao forced a smile, "It doesn't matter, you can't rescue me, but you can help me die."

Even if he is rescued, he will not be able to return to his original state of health. He will even have to spend his whole life in a hospital bed, and at the same time he will have to evade Gu Siang's pursuit in fear.

If this is the case, Qi Yao would rather be freed happily.

The woman's cry stopped abruptly.

She was silent for a while and said, "Okay, I'll help you."

Then, the woman took out a disposable chopstick and put it into Qi Yao's hand.

She didn't say the rest.

Qi Yao should understand.

Qi Yao looked at the disposable chopsticks in his hand and wondered what they felt like.

In this nursing home, Qi Yao is not allowed to come into contact with any sharp objects.

Just to prevent him from committing suicide.

And she had already prepared this thing before she came to see him.

That meant that she originally planned to kill him.

Qi Yao smiled bitterly.

It's ok.

A secret is most reassuring if only the dead know it.

If he can help her in the end, he is willing.

Qi Yao tightened his grip on the disposable chopsticks and took one last look at the woman.

next second.

The sharp wooden chopsticks pierced flesh and blood and broke the tubes used to transport air.

The already weak brain and heart were deprived of oxygen and instantly lost their function.

The woman stood there, watching streams of warm blood flowing out of Qi Yao's neck, her weak body twitching in pain.

Until, there was no movement.

The woman slowly squatted down and used her hands to help Qi Yao close his eyes, which he had not closed until his death.

She murmured, "I'm sorry. I want to appear in front of him again. I want to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Therefore, you, the only one who knows the truth, must die."

Then the woman stood up.

She straightened her clothes and then screamed, "Ah, help, someone is dead! What should I do? Someone come quickly!"

The woman scurried out, panicked and flawless as an inexperienced student nurse.
