Xiu Mei was momentarily distracted by the sound of the shattered vase, as her eyes darted to the object on the ground. The sound ringing in her ears. Her eyes tracing the sharp edges of the broken pieces. Then an old memory floated up within her mind.
Blood. A pool of blood as she slit her wrist in despair.
She took a sharp breath, as she felt her body turning numb.
Her second brother immediately appeared on her side as he moved her away from the shattered vase and made her sit on the couch.
"Princess!" Panic could be heard from her second brother's voice.
He noticed Xiu Mei's body was shivering when he held her by the shoulders. He quickly realized that her sister was having a panic attack but before he could do anything, another voice appeared behind them.
"Wife." Lu Chen knelt before his wife, covering her small hands with his and with a soft voice, he tried to calm her down and make her return to her senses.
