At that moment, I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me, and everything went dark as I lost consciousness.
Before collapsing, I instinctively shoved the jade pendant from my pocket into Gu Jing Shen's hand.
I hoped that this pendant could take him back to the past, to reveal the truth to him.
I hoped he would understand that I never intended to harm anyone.
I hoped he could forgive me, even just a little.
I felt my body growing lighter, as if I were about to float away.
The sounds around me faded further and further until they completely vanished.
I was engulfed in darkness.
I felt like I was falling into an endless abyss, surrounded by pitch-blackness and bone-chilling cold.
I wanted to scream, but no sound escaped my lips.
I wanted to struggle, yet I felt my body bound by an invisible force, unable to move.
Just as I was about to suffocate, suddenly, a beam of light pierced through the darkness.
I saw Gu Jing Shen's anxious face; he held my hand tightly, his eyes filled with worry and fear.
"Lin Wantang, wake up! Don't scare me!" he shouted hoarsely, his voice trembling.
I struggled to open my eyes and found myself lying on a hospital bed, with Gu Jing Shen sitting beside me, gripping my hand tightly.
Am I... back?
Before I could process it, I heard Gu Jing Shen anxiously ask, "Lin Wantang, how do you feel? Is there anywhere that hurts?"
His voice was filled with concern, and his eyes were full of worry.
I stared at him in a daze, unsure of how to respond.
What is happening?
Shouldn't he hate me to the core?
Why does he have such an expression?
I tried to recall what had happened before, but my memories were a jumbled mess.
All I remembered was fainting at the Charity Gala, and then... then I couldn't remember anything else.
"I'm... I'm fine," I said softly, my voice hoarse.
Gu Jing Shen looked at me with a complex expression.
It seemed he had many questions to ask but didn't know where to start.
"Lin Wantang," he hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Why did you faint?"
I lowered my head, unable to meet his gaze.
I didn’t know how to explain or how to face him.
"I... I just..." I stammered, struggling to find the words.
Gu Jing Shen looked at me deeply, but he didn’t press further.
He stood up and walked to the window, turning his back to me, lost in thought.
The room fell into a heavy silence, the atmosphere so oppressive it felt suffocating.
I stole glances at Gu Jing Shen; his silhouette was tall and straight, yet there was a hint of loneliness about him.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden halo around him.
He was still so handsome, so charming.
But I felt as if the distance between us was growing wider.
I didn’t know how much time had passed when Gu Jing Shen suddenly turned around and said to me, "Lin Wantang, I'm taking you somewhere."
His tone was calm, devoid of any emotion.
I was taken aback and asked, "Where... where are we going?"
Gu Jing Shen didn't answer; he simply walked over, took my hand, and led me out of the hospital room.
He remained silent the entire way, and I wisely refrained from asking any more questions.
We arrived at the hospital's archives.
Gu Jing Shen skillfully entered a password and opened the door to the archive room.
I felt a bit puzzled, unsure of why he had brought me here.
He walked over to a computer and opened a folder.
Inside the folder was a video file.
The footage was somewhat blurry, but I recognized it instantly; it was the surveillance video from the fire scene five years ago.
My heart began to race, an ominous premonition washing over me.
Gu Jing Shen clicked on the video.
In the footage, flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.
