Shi Nuan's chest tightened, her breathing became difficult, and it was as if all the strength had been drained from her body in an instant.
She made an effort to stay clear-headed, her fingertips slowly contracting, digging into the flesh of her palm.
Yet, she couldn't feel the pain in her palm, because the most excruciating pain was in her chest, in her heart.
She looked at the girl in front of her, covering her mouth and sobbing uncontrollably, trembling eyelashes heavy with tears, aching to offer words of comfort.
But it was as if her throat was clogged, unable to utter a single word.
Before this, Shi Nuan had never known she could feel such deep sorrow for a stranger; she didn't understand what was happening, but she suddenly wanted to cry.
The girl wiped away her tears with a hand and continued, "Please leave, all of you just go. My brother and I never want to see any of you from the Shi family again, please just leave quickly!"
