313: My Tianxin

My Tianxin

After the kidnapping debacle, Ling Tao fell seriously ill. Even then, he did not forget to draft a divorce agreement and entrusted the new lawyer of the Ling Family to hand it over to Qu Wan, who was waiting for her sentence in the detention center.0

The new family lawyer was personally recruited by Ling Tianya. When Qu Wan saw the divorce papers, she madly tore it up. Later, Ling Tao was forced to go to court and demand a divorce from Qu Wan.

Such a divorce case was not difficult to win. Qu Was was in the wrong and she also violated the law. So, the court would naturally grant the divorce.

When Ling Tao's health recovered a little, he asked Ruan Zeyan if he could see Ling Tianxin. Originally, Ruan Zeyan was worried that Ling Tianya would break down when she saw Ling Tianxin like that, so he didn't allow her to see her sister. Ling Tao had made the request, and Ruan Zeyan had no reason to refuse a father's legitimate request. So, he agreed.

From the moment Ling Tao found out that Ling Tianxin was his real daughter, he had been in a state of self-blame and negativity. All those years he was played by Mr. Bai and Qu Wan. He had lost his sense of family. Of his two daughters, one still held a grudge against him, and the other was barely saved from hell.

He believed that he had been a perfect husband and a perfect son however, as a father, he was unforgivable…

Before going to see Ling Tianxin, Ling Tao fully prepared himself. It was not until the moment when he saw her in the flesh that Ling Tao lost control of his emotions and the tight string in his heart finally snapped.

Ling Tianxin was 14 years old when she disappeared, and she just reached 20 years old that year. She looked like an old woman in her 50s. Her skin was rough and dull; she was covered in horrendous scars from burns.

There was no hair on her head, and the doctor said that she pulled her own hair out when she was sick. Later, the doctor worried that she would hurt herself and decided to just shave the remaining hair.

Ling Tianxin was locked in a special and exclusive room. In order to prevent her emotions from being disturbed, she could not see the outside from the inside. People from the outside could see everything inside clearly.

The doctor said that because of the stimulation of drugs and the long-term violence and mental devastation that she experienced, Ling Tianxin's nervous system was damaged, and it was going to be a long recovery process.

Ling Tao took the doctor's hand in guilt and pleaded with them to cure Ling Tianxin by any means. Without Ling Tao's plead, the doctors would still do their best to treat Ling Tianxin, because that was the order from Ruan Zeyan.

Compared with Ling Tao's complete breakdown, Ling Tianya seemed much calmer. She just quietly looked at Ling Tianxin in the room, her thoughts seemed complicated, yet she was at loss, with tears rolling down her face.

Before they came, Ruan Zeyan was worried that Ling Tianya could not handle seeing her sister and she would break down or cry. He didn't expect her to react like that. It made him even more distressed. Some emotions, if hidden inside one's heart, only would become more unbearable.

Ruan Zeyan gently took Ling Tianya into his arms, leaning her head onto his shoulder and stroking her hair with his big hands to comfort her silently.

"My Tianxin had beautiful eyes. When I looked at her eyes, I could see spring. She had a small dimple on the right side of her face. She was not born with it. She accidentally hit the window sill when she was a kid and a scar was left there."

Ruan Zeyan looked at Ling Tianxin in the room, her eyes were empty, and the place on the right side of her face, a giant burn mark had replaced the dimple.
