Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Will You Forget Me in the Future?

Zhao Haishuang’s hatred toward Cheng Lie grew stronger every time she saw Cheng Huai’s frail body.

If it were possible, she wished Cheng Lie could die in place of Cheng Huai.

That day, after having taken Cheng Huai to the hospital for treatment, Zhao Haishuang returned home, exhausted, planning to rest for a bit on the bed.

As soon as she opened the door, she suddenly noticed a piece of paper lying on the floor.

She bent down to pick up the paper.

In the dimly lit room, the woman in the drawing seemed to smile at her, her eyes carrying a soul-like intensity, staring straight at her.

In that instant, Zhao Haishuang threw the drawing to the ground as if struck by lightning and shrank into the corner of the wall.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, her heart pounding so violently it felt as though it would leap out of her throat.

Normally, when frightened, Zhao Haishuang would scream, but this time, overcome with terror, she found herself voiceless, unsure of how to let it out.

It’s her!

Zhao Haishuang felt as though she was suffocating.

That woman—isn’t she Cheng Lie’s mother?!

After all these years, Zhao Haishuang hadn’t forgotten her. She was simply too beautiful; anyone who had seen her once would remember her.

While envying the woman’s beauty, Zhao Haishuang also despised her. Even though she had been deceased for so many years, Zhao Haishuang still couldn’t let go of her.

She couldn’t help but place a hand over her heart and turn on the light; the room became bright, and her nerves slowly calmed.

Staring at the painting on the floor for a long time, Zhao Haishuang eventually picked it up.

She looked at the woman in the drawing again.

The artwork was strikingly lifelike—upon first glance, one might mistake it for a black-and-white photograph.

So vivid.

The woman in the painting smiled, her eyes fixed on Zhao Haishuang, as if seeing through everything, even through her very soul.

"Actions have consequences. If you hadn’t seduced my husband, I wouldn’t have retaliated against you!" Zhao Haishuang shouted furiously at the portrait, then started ripping the drawing apart, crumpling it into a ball to throw it in the trash.

But finding it still eerily disquieting, she decided to burn it.
