Rebirth: Once Again With You

Chapter 248 Something Is Wrong!



Su Suyin was tired after crying, so Li Caiyi put her to bed before walking out of the room. She sighed deeply when she could finally breathe the air outside. That was very nerve-wracking, but she was glad everything ended up well.

"How is it?"

Li Caiyi jumped a bit at the familiar voice. She looked to her side to find Li Junjie, who had just returned home.

"Brother Jie, since when did you stand there?"

"I just arrived, but I can tell what happened by looking at your expression. Have you talked to Mother yet?"

Li Caiyi let out a small smile before nodding. "Yeah. I have already told her everything."

,m "I see." Li Junjie shifted his weight from left to right awkwardly while rubbing the back of his neck, looking a bit uncomfortable. "How is Mother? Did she cry a lot?"

Li Caiyi sighed helplessly inside, seeing Li Junjie being fidgety. "Yes, she did. But, she agreed to sign the divorce paper."

Upon hearing that confirmation, Li Junjie's tense body gradually relaxed before nodding his head understandingly. "You convince her well. I seriously thought she won't agree that easily."

Li Caiyi made sure no one was around before replying, "It wasn't easy, but it's because Mother is thinking about our well-being. She had a lot of things in her mind, so she fell asleep right after talking. Brother, do you need something from Mother?"

"Actually, I just came back from the Civil Affairs Bureau to get this." Li Junjie showed the paper he had been holding since earlier to Li Caiyi.

It was a divorce agreement form.

Li Caiyi almost couldn't help but snort when she looked at the familiar piece of paper.

In her previous life, this paper was the reason she gave up on everything. Ironically, this paper would become the reason for her new beginning in this life. Life sure had its way of playing with people.

Not just for her but for her family.

"Brother Jie, do we really need to urge Mother to fill this now? I think she is still shocked after finding out about Father's affair." Li Caiyi rubbed her arm unsurely.

"I procure this just in case. Time is the essence now. We have to act quickly and carefully before Father notices anything." Li Junjie replied firmly.

Although Li Caiyi agreed with his reasoning, she felt terrible for rushing things like this after witnessing her mother break down. Li Caiyi was also forced to divorce, so she understood that feeling.

As though he could read her mind, Li Junjie added, "Xiaoyi, the more we hesitate, the more Mother will suffer in Father's hand. It's not too late to comfort Mother after everything has been settled thoroughly."

Cold and decisive reasoning. It was very Li Junjie-like.

Li Caiyi couldn't imagine what scene would transpire if her brother was the one who told her mother everything. She bet Li Junjie would sit robotically while watching Su Suyin cry, not knowing what to do. At least he was aware of his shortcoming.

"Fine. But at least let Mother sleep for a while. Let me put the paper inside Mother's drawer so she could check it later." Li Caiyi took the paper from Li Junjie's hand and headed inside the room without waiting for his approval.

She tip-toed her way around Su Suyin's bed and carefully put the paper inside the bedside drawer. After taking the last look at her mother, she left the room again.

However, Li Junjie was nowhere to be found. This meant her brother had nothing else to talk about with her. Left with nothing to do, she decided to bid goodbye to Li Chunhua so she could return to Shao Jingfei's place.

Li Caiyi went to check on Li Chunhua in her room and was surprised to find her sister had already fallen asleep so early.

Feeling curious, Li Caiyi stepped inside and heard Li Chunhua's soft breathing. It seemed she really was sleeping.

That was when Li Caiyi glimpsed something from the corner of her eyes.

The floor was littered with lots of button-sized things, with a bottle rolled to the leg of the bedside drawer. Li Caiyi frowned, seeing that, before crouching down to check on them. Upon closer look, those weren't buttons but Li Chunhua's medicine.

Li Caiyi suddenly got extremely apprehensive, especially when Li Chunhua was sleeping soundly with this mess beside her bed.

"Xiaohua?!" Li Caiyi cried out in panic while shaking her sister's body, trying to rouse her awake. However, Li Chunhua made no movement. She was eerily still, like a doll.

It made Li Caiyi even more panicked. She shook her sister's body harder while calling out her name desperately. "Xiaohua? Xiaohua, talk to me, please!"

However, no matter how much she tried to shake her sister's body, her eyelids still closed tightly, with no sign of awakening.

[The continuous usage will render the subject permanently 'broken'].

That line from the research report she got from Gu Xue kept replaying in Li Caiyi's head.

No matter how you look at it, this scene wasn't normal, and it frightened Li Caiyi to death. In her previous life, Li Chunhua supposedly took her medicine regularly and had decent health up to 27 years old, or probably more, since Li Caiyi committed suicide and didn't know what happened after that.

However, ever since she returned and changed the past, so many things developed in different ways than what she remembered. It wouldn't be surprising if something 'unexpected' happened again.

Li Caiyi suppressed the urge to cry, and the hand that was holding her sister up lost its strength. Li Chunhua fell limply back to bed, like a marionette whose string had snapped. Even then, Li Chunhua still didn't wake up.

If Li Caiyi felt apprehensive before, she was genuinely terrified now. She wasted no time and barged out of the room before running to Li Junjie's room.

"Brother Jie! Help! Something is weird with Xiaohua's condition!" Li Caiyi didn't have any time or patience to knock on the door, so she barged into the room as soon as her hand touched the doorknob. Thankfully, it wasn't locked, so she could get in easily.

Li Junjie was startled by her sudden intrusion, but his face immediately returned to his neutral expression as he stood up from his chair.

"What happened to Xiaohua?"
