I cried so hard that I started to dry heave, my body trembling uncontrollably,
a tremor of my soul.
I kept apologizing to Lily’s name on the tombstone, my apologies echoing
through the silent cemetery, hoping she could forgive her failed mother.
I prayed silently, hoping that in her next life, she would be born into a truly
happy family, a place filled with love and warmth, instead of our broken home,
where she was entangled with pain and suffering.
I fell into deep regret, the “what ifs” flooding my mind like a tidal wave.
If only I had known this tragic day would come, if only I had understood
that John’s heart could never truly love me, if only…
These assumptions kept surfacing, intertwining, and haunting my mind.
But I could only manage a bitter smile, my lips curling helplessly.
I knew there were no “what ifs” in this world. Everything had happened,
locked away by the shackles of time, irreversible.
Gradually, my thoughts drifted back to the time when Lily was born.
John was so indifferent then, leaving me alone in the hospital, only cared for

by medical staff. His cold retreating figure seemed to carve a deep wound in my
heart.
When I was at my weakest, unable to even get out of bed, he took our
newborn daughter to see Raina, completely disregarding my feelings.
He said he wanted to foster their bond while Lily was still young and didn’t
know any better.
Now, looking back, his words inadvertently revealed his true intentions,
intentions hidden in the shadows, now illuminated by the light of time, glaringly
obvious.
Even then, he had already planned to bring Raina into our lives.
And in his mind, I was just a choice he had to make under various
constraints, like a product reluctantly selected, without genuine love or
appreciation.
When he was forced to give up Raina, it was as if he had lost the most
precious thing in his heart. The sense of loss entwined him like a vine, the pain
amplifying Raina’s significance in his heart.
Unfortunately, it was too late when I finally saw through it all. Time, like a
rushing river, couldn’t be reversed. Everything had reached a point of no return,
the missed opportunities and wrong choices all swept away by the currents of
time.

I couldn’t help but wonder, if my mother was watching me from heaven,
would she blame me for being naive, or would she feel sorry for me?
It was my longing for my mother and my speculation. At this painful
moment, I yearned for her guidance.
I leaned my upper body against the cold tombstone, its hardness seeping
through my clothes, like a heavy blow from fate, a stark reminder of life’s cruelty.
I imagined the tombstone as Lily’s small body, as if I could feel her warmth
again, my deep attachment to her.
I reached out and gently stroked the photo on Lily’s tombstone, each touch
like a conversation with her soul, a communication between us in another world.
In the photo, her smile was still radiant, her eyes sparkling with childlike
innocence, the most beautiful memory she left for this world.
But it was all in the past, she was truly gone. Her adorable mannerisms, her
laughter that was as clear as a silver bell, all vanished from this world.
Leaving me behind, alone, struggling in this endless pain and
regret.
No, I couldn’t wallow in the pain of the past anymore.
Lily’s innocent smile flashed before my eyes, her voice seemed to echo in my
ears. She was so precious, her life cruelly taken away by fate.
I stood by the road, waving my hand anxiously. A taxi pulled over. I quickly
My heart pounded all the way, a mixture of nervousness and anticipation,
Finally arriving at my destination, I got out of the car and looked at the street
I took a deep breath and started asking the residents around for information.
I entered a small store, the owner sitting behind the counter.
I looked at him earnestly and said softly, “Excuse me, did you see the traffic
accident that happened here a few nights ago? Did you notice the driver or any
details about the vehicle?”
The owner frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, “You
mean the accident where that little girl was killed? Sorry, I was closed that night,
I didn’t see anything. The police already checked the security footage, I’m sure
