After Rachel got discharged from the hospital, everywhere became like a graveyard back in their home.
Lin Qin found it a bit embarrassing to even greet Rachel, and Rachel was angry at him for bringing such a useless talk on one of the best days of her life.
Or a day that supposed to be part of the best days.
Her attention was always on the baby, and even if she spoke to her husband, it'll just be on some minor cases or when a visitor comes around.
When Lin Qin finally gathered the strength to talk to her, he ended up multiplying her anger... And that led to the two living like strangers in the house.
And that also led to the suffering Rachel faced, until she died when Ai Mi was fourteen.
