Before Bai Jiang could recover from her shock, Zhao Min continued, “Do you know, your father was calling out your name before he passed away!”

“Stop it! I told you to stop!” Bai Jiang shouted angrily.

The thought of her father’s helplessness and despair in his final moments caused her heart to ache.

“You’re treating me like this because of these groundless charges? All these years of friendship between us mean nothing?” Bai Jiang questioned.

Zhao Min sneered, “Friendship? Do you still think we had a friendship? If you truly valued our friendship, you should have voluntarily given up your spot in the United States instead of making me plot so many things and dirty my hands.”

“You!” Bai Jiang wanted to say something more, but suddenly her body went weak. She looked at Zhao Min weakly and asked, “You… drugged me?”

“Hahaha, hahaha!” Zhao Min laughed manically. “Yes, I drugged you. So what? Are you afraid?”

Would she have dared to reveal so much to Bai Jiang if she hadn’t drugged her?

“Why should I be afraid?” Bai Jiang straightened her body and said, “Thank you for telling me all this. It has only strengthened my determination to make you pay the price.”

Zhao Min’s face turned pale. She glanced at the coffee in Bai Jiang’s hand and asked, “Didn’t you drink the coffee?”

Her original intention was to create an accident. She would drug Bai Jinag and make her appear on the side of the road in a daze. She would push her out at the red light and let her die in an accident.

“You couldn’t defeat me in the past, you can’t defeat me now, and you won’t be able to defeat me in the future. Zhao Min, I sympathize with you. Your heart is higher than the sky, but you can’t do anything.” With that, Bai Jiang stood up and was about to leave.

Zhao Min was so agitated by her words that her entire body trembled. Anger surged out of her heart. She wished she could go forward and tear Bai Jiang into pieces.

“Stop! Stay right there!” Zhao Min shouted hysterically.

Bai Jiang showed no intention of stopping. Instead, she headed toward the exit. Seeing Bai Jiang standing by the roadside waiting for the traffic light, Zhao Min, in a state of madness, rushed out of the coffee shop and forcefully pushed Bai Jiang.

“Ah!” Bai Jiang was caught off guard and was pushed out.

When Bai Jiang turned back and saw it was Zhao Min, she grabbed Zhao Min’s hand and said, “I wanted to bring you to die with me, but death would be a relief for you. Live well. Live and pay the price for the rest of your life!”

With that, Bai Jiang pushed Zhao Min away.

The screeching sound of brakes filled the air, followed by a loud crash. Bai Jiang was sent flying and rolled on the ground.

Zhao Min, who had just experienced a brush with death, initially wore a look of relief on her face. However, her expression quickly froze.

What had she just heard? Bai Jiang said that if she was allowed to live, she would have to pay the price for the rest of her life?

No, no, it can’t be, it can’t be.

Suddenly, she saw Bai Jiang’s cell phone drop at her feet after she was hit by a car.

She opened Bai Jiang’s phone and unexpectedly saw a live-streaming page.

“No!” Zhao Min screamed and fainted.

Bai Jiang also witnessed Zhao Min’s reaction at the last moment, smiling as she looked toward the sky. “Baby, Mommy is here.”

Just as Bai Jiang was engulfed in endless bitter memories, a whimper shattered her anguish.

“Mommy…”

Bai Jiang came back to her senses and looked at Bai Zhen. Perhaps she had dreamed of something, but there was still a smile on her young face.

Fortunately, she had been given a second chance by fate. She would save her baby, save her father, find her son, and ensure Zhao Min paid the price she deserved.

According to her memories, Zhao Min should have gone abroad for an academic exchange at this time. After this exchange, Zhao Min would be completely adorned in gold, becoming a Ph.D. holder in the United States.

Although Bai Jiang didn’t know the specifics, she understood that such a drastic transformation through a mere academic exchange was simply impossible.

Zhao Min must have tampered with something.

But there was no need to rush. Her enemy was still far away. Her current priority was to protect her family.

After careful consideration, Bai Jiang bid farewell to Doctor Yu at lunchtime.

“Why do you suddenly want to go home? Isn’t it good to stay here?” Doctor Yu looked at Bai Jiang with confusion.

This was Tian City, the capital of the country. It was very beneficial for her future to practice medicine here.

Bai Jiang smiled and set down her chopsticks. “Master, I have made up my mind. I don’t seek wealth and fame. I only wish to spend the rest of my life peacefully with my family.”
