Chapter 644: Pride and Low Self-Esteem
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Tang Yuwei heard Su Jin’s question, she closed her eyes and grabbed the covers so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Tang Yuwei didn’t tell Su Jin and she dared not tell Su Jin.
But since the truth was out, she loosened her grip on the covers and said timidly, “It’s my pride and low self-esteem that stopped me from telling you. I endured the withdrawal symptoms on my own every day because I was afraid that you’d look down on me. I want to live too but it’s just too painful when the withdrawal symptoms hit. I couldn’t take it anymore!”
Tears streamed down Tang Yuwei’s face as she spoke. She wanted to bear everything alone, but in the end, she made everyone worried and afraid. Tang Yuwei knew that she was wrong. If she had told them earlier, they wouldn’t be here now as they’d probably figured out a solution together.
Tang Yuwei said with a troubled expression, “I thought that I could make it on my own but I’ve overestimated myself!”
Hou Wan’er’s heart ached for Tang Yuwei. She could have told them, and they would think of a solution together. But instead, Tang Yuwei chose to face things alone for fear of inconveniencing others. How much courage did it take?!!
Hou Wan’er took out a tissue and gently wiped away Tang Yuwei’s tears as she said, “Tang Yuwei, how can you be so stupid? You are a victim. You didn’t do anything wrong. If you told us, we would have helped you!”
Tang Yuting almost cried as he stood and listened to his sister. Tang Yuwei, who’s a good girl since young, had actually hidden so much from everyone to suffer alone. Tang Yuting’s eyes were red as he walked up to the hospital bed and held Tang Yuwei’s hand. All this was his fault. He was useless. If he was a better brother, his sister would not be like this.
Tang Yuting said, “Sister, I’m so sorry. This is all my fault!”
“You’re my only sister. You’re our parents’ only daughter. You’re our pride and joy. If something really happened to you, what should we do? Promise me that you won’t be so stupid anymore, okay?”
Tang Yuwei looked at Tang Yuting with tears in her eyes. Her brother was right. She still had family, her mom and dad… If something really happened to her, her mom and dad would be in so much pain. Tang Yuwei realized her mistake now and vowed to never be like this in future. She must live on and be with her family.
Tang Yuwei replied remorsefully, “Brother, I know my mistake now. Where’s mom and dad?”
When Tang Yuting heard this, he remembered the scene when he rushed home earlier. Tang Yuwei was lying in a bloody bathtub while his dad was on the floor. Tang Yuting almost died of shock then. If something happened to his dad, his family would be finished.
Fortunately, both of them were okay. Tang Yuting replied with a worried expression, “Well, when dad saw you like that, he fainted from shock. Mom is taking care of dad now. They are in the next room!”
Tang Yuwei felt even more guilty when she heard this. If she hadn’t attempted suicide, her dad wouldn’t have fainted. Her father hadn’t been in good shape, and she had made things worse. Tang Yuwei’s face was filled with guilt as she removed the covers to get out of bed to check on her dad.
However, Su Jin held her shoulders before she could get up. Tang Yuwei said anxiously, “Sister Su, I want to go and see my dad. I won’t be at ease otherwise!”
Although Hou Wan’er felt sorry for Tang Yuwei, she couldn’t take it anymore. Tang Yuwei was already in such a state, and she wanted to get out of bed? Didn’t she know that all this was caused by her? It wasn’t easy to save her. If this continued, who knew what would happen?
Hou Wan’er also walked up to help Tang Yuwei back to bed. She said angrily, “Yuwei, don’t cause any more trouble. It wasn’t easy to save you. Can you please cherish your life from now on?”
“You know very well that your dad fainted because of you. Do you want your father to faint again when something happens to you now?”
Tang Yuwei, who was struggling to get up, immediately laid back down when she heard this. The only thing she could do now was to live well and not cause any more trouble for these people. She also had to think of a way to get rid of her drug addiction and get her life back on track. Otherwise, her family would also suffer.
Tang Yuwei’s eyes were full of tears as she said guiltily to everyone, “I’m sorry, I was wrong. I’ll take good care of myself. Don’t worry!”
