<h4>Chapter 525: A Pain so Excruciating, Like Death by a Thousand Cuts</h4>


    Then, he continued to ask, “Then what were you doing at that time?”


    What was she doing?


    She was arguing with that woman, that she hadn’t bumped into the little girl. Wasn;t that why she wasn’t able to save unconscious her mother-inw in the passenger seat?


    Her heart was once again pierced by a sharp pain.


    The police officer’s questions were like a sharp ice-cold de—the pain she felt in heart was so excruciating, as if she is dying by a thousand cuts!


    “At that time, the little girl’s mother came over and said that I knocked down her daughter...” Holding back her sobs, guilt and self-me that tormented her, she continued, “She wanted me to prove that I didn’t knock down her daughter, so... I wasn’t able to pay attention to the car behind me.”


    The police officer paused again.


    “Then what happened after that? Didn’t you hear the sound of the collision?”


    “Yes.”


    “ording to the witness, the truck first lost control and crashed into your car. Then, it caught fire and exploded a few minutester. Is that true?”


    “Yes...”


    After asking this, the police officer nced at Shen Lanzhi who was lying on the hospital bed.


    Was she the figure that the witness saw escaping from the Maserati at the critical moment?


    She turned out to be Mr. Shi’s mother. From the looks of it, she must have been seriously injured.


    “Was there anyone else in the car other than your mother-inw, Mrs. Shi?” He continued to ask as he sat down to take notes.


    Each question cut her heart, tearing her up from the inside out.


    “No.”


    At this point, the police officer put away his pen and notebook and looked at Zuo Weiyi. “Miss Zuo, thank you for your cooperation. If we have any more question, we might have to trouble you again. I hope you don’t mind. We wish madam a speedy recovery. We’ll take our leave first.”


    As he said that, the police officer pursed his lips, turned around, and left the ward with the other two police officers.


    After the police officers left, the atmosphere in the ward fell silent. It was so quiet that it was a little unsettling.


    Zuo Weiyi stood where she was. She could clearly feel everyone’s eyes were on her.


    And she had long been prepared for everything toe.


    Then, she heard the sound of footsteps.


    She looked up and saw Shi Nuannuan walking towards her with a look of disbelief on her face.


    Her dark eyes shed with heartache.


    “Sister-inw...” Shi Nuannuan opened her mouth and looked in the direction where the police had left. “What- What did that mean? You- you parked the car there and left my mommy alone in the car?”


    Since the moment she met Shi Yuting, almost everyone hated her, and the only person who treated her kindly was Shi Nuannuan.


    In her heart, Shi Nuannuan had long be her inseparable good sister, someone she can talk to about anything.


    She looked up and met Shi Nuannuan’s eyes. “Nuannuan, I’m sorry.”


    Her apology made Shi Nuannuan’s heart hurt even more!


    Wasn’t an apology proof that everything was true?


    She staggered back and looked at her favorite sister-inw with tears in her eyes. “They said that the car caught fire and exploded a few minutester. Tell me, during those few minutes... why didn’t you save my mommy?”
