Chapter 2 The Cries of the Morgue

  "I want to go find my dad." Lu Chengfeng didn't say anything more. Drunk driving, whoever that person is will definitely be dead for sure.

  "Alright, follow me." With that, a passerby led the way.

  Xue Er didn't know how she got here, nor did she understand what the doctor and police said. Her mind was buzzing, as if she were a walking corpse. When she walked into that cold place, looking at the white cloth covering the body, Xue Er went over, trying to calm herself down, her mouth constantly saying: "It can't be Dad and Mom's, it won't be, absolutely not. Today is my birthday, I want to make a wish, let all of this be a dream, all a dream. Grant me this wish, grant me this wish."

  Xue Er's hand slowly lifted the white cloth, and when she saw her father's pale face appear in front of her, at that moment she knew that all birthday wishes were false, all medical skills were false, and all resurrection was false.

  "Dad, Mom, how can you sleep here? Don't mess around, get up quickly, or you'll get sick. Hurry up, if you don't get up soon, Xue Er will be angry." Xue Er said with a smile, but Dad and Mom didn't move at all. At that moment, Xue Er heard the sound of her own heart breaking.

  " Wake up, don't scare me. I have nothing left except for you two. Daddy, Mommy, please... I don't want a birthday cake anymore, I don't want anything. I only want you, I only want you."

  After finishing speaking, Xue Er grabbed the doctor's hand again and loudly begged: "Please, save my daddy and mommy. I have nothing left except for Daddy's password. Can you please save them? I have money, I have money."

  After saying that, she took out a few 100-yuan bills from her clothes, but when the red banknotes fell to the ground, Xue Er seemed to lose all her strength and sat down, crying hysterically. The doctor and police looked on with heartache.

  Xue Er felt that this was a nightmare, and such a thing would happen, it could take her own life at any time. The pain in her heart, the fear in her heart, she couldn't speak out. Just as Xue Er was immersed in the sorrow of losing her father, she didn't feel a pair of hateful eyes staring at her.

  As Lu Chengfeng walked into the dimly lit mourning hall, the heart-wrenching wails made him feel short of breath again. In front of his father's body, he gently lifted the white cloth covering his face with his long hands, and saw that his father's complexion was deathly pale. He clenched his fists and held back his tears, but his heart was already bleeding.

  Xue Er's crying made Lu Chengfeng feel extremely annoyed. Noticing Lu Chengfeng's annoyance, the police officer said in a low voice: "It was her father who ran a red light after drinking."

  When the police officer said this, Lu Chengfeng, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly grabbed Xiao Xue and pinned her against the wall, growling: "Shut up! The murderer is your father and mother, the victim is my father and mother. Because of your mistakes, my father is lying here, my mother is in the emergency room. You deserve to die, you whole family!"

  "No, no, it's not like that. My dad didn't do it on purpose. Today is my birthday and he was in a hurry to come back early, that's why... My grandparents have passed away, they were victims too. Don't say such things about my dad and mom." Xue'er covered her ears, not wanting to hear about the car accident, not wanting to hear about her dad and mom, not wanting to hear about her dad's mistake. She didn't want to hear any of it because her dad had run a red light all because of herself, because of her own birthday, which had led to her grandparents' death and ruined another family. She really felt guilty."
