After returning home with the child, her ex-husband knelt down and gently coaxed her.

The agreed meeting place was at the main gate of the cemetery.

An Ning didn't let Lu Xiyan's driver take her; instead, she took the car keys and drove over herself. The other party said he wanted to apologize to her, but didn't say anything else.

Moreover, the other party emphasized "they" on the phone, which clearly indicates that there was more than one person.

She didn't know why the other party wanted to apologize to her, but since An Yucan was mentioned, she had to come and see him.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the cemetery, she saw four or five young boys and girls waiting by the green belt under the shade of the trees by the roadside. Two were standing, and three were squatting on the ground. One of the boys was holding a large bunch of white chrysanthemums.

The group of people all had their heads down and were wearing medical university uniforms.

An Yucan often wears this outfit. He doesn't usually like to buy clothes and always says that the school has uniforms, and that the uniforms are comfortable to wear.

Anning knew that he was actually just afraid of spending money.

Upon seeing these classmates who were about the same age as him, An Ning's eyes welled up with tears, and a faint pang of pain rose in his heart.

The car stopped by the roadside, and Anning opened the door and got out.

A girl noticed her and quickly looked over.

"Is this Sister An?" she asked timidly.

An Ning nodded. "Hello, I'm Yu Can's older sister."

Upon hearing this, several classmates stood up and walked over to her.

Then, as if they had planned it beforehand, the group bowed down in unison before her, saying, "Sister An, we're sorry!"

An Ning was a little confused, but still smiled and asked, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

The girl clutched her trouser hem, speaking nervously and hesitantly, "Sister An, there's a... a little misunderstanding between us and An Yucan..."

The girl choked back tears, "We never expected him to—"

She hesitated, then lowered her head even further. "In short, please accept our apology."

An Ning's smile faded slightly, and she asked softly, "What misunderstanding?"

The phone call An Ning received said that An Yucan had suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the hospital, but his heart had stopped and he could not be saved.

Since his heart transplant, he has been healthy and will not have any problems as long as he does not overwork or suffer major stress.

An Ning later asked his school mentor, who said that he hadn't looked well a few days before the accident and had made a mistake while working on a medical project. His mentor told him to go back and rest, but he didn't listen, and that's how the accident happened.

So both the school and Anning thought he was overworked, juggling studying, working, and part-time jobs, which put too much strain on his body and led to this accident.

But now, An Ning felt that the people in front of him were hiding something unspeakable behind their hesitation.

The people in front of her looked at each other, as if they had something difficult to say. An Ning spoke up, "Yu Can is my only younger brother. I know him very well. He is gentle and kind-hearted and never gets into conflicts with anyone."

"He had a heart condition since childhood and spent a long time in a wheelchair, but he did not give up on life or his desire to live. So after his successful heart surgery, he chose to study medicine because he wanted to treat more patients and save more lives."

An Ning's eyes welled up with tears. "He said that medicine and life are interconnected, and those who study medicine understand the preciousness of life even more."

After Anning finished speaking, she heard sobbing coming from in front of her.

"Speak!" a boy suddenly shouted from the crowd.

With red eyes, he mustered his courage and looked at the other classmates. "What's there to hide! The worst that can happen is we'll be threatened and can't go to school. If we don't speak out, we'll be betraying our conscience!"

He looked at An Ning with emotion, "Sister, we are all responsible for An Yu Can's death!"

As soon as she finished speaking, An Ning's fingertips trembled, and she subconsciously clenched her fist.

"A few days before the incident, someone posted a message in the part-time job group." He said excitedly, taking out his phone and showing it to Anning. "It was this person. He said that as long as we complete a small task, we can each get a thousand yuan."

An Ning stared at him in astonishment, took the phone, and saw that an anonymous person had posted a message in a college student part-time job group, mentioning the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Jinghai Medical University.

Anning's hands were shaking so badly she could barely hold her phone. She asked him, "What mission?"

Another male classmate couldn't help but chime in, "They're spreading rumors about you and him, rumors about his illness, and rumors about your divorce..."

As the other person spoke, their voice lowered guiltily, "Some very unpleasant things..."

An Ning understood; these words were precisely aimed at An Yu Can's heart.

Her eyes were red, and her voice trembled, "Who is this person?"

"We didn't know, he just posted this task anonymously. We didn't believe it at first, but he even paid each of us two hundred yuan first."

The girl in the lead cried as she said, "That day, we ran into An Yucan in the cafeteria, and...and..."

She cried as she said, "Then they actually gave each of us a thousand dollars."

"But at the time, An Yucan didn't show any reaction. His face was calm and he didn't seem uncomfortable. We thought he didn't care about these things, so we didn't take it to heart."

"As a result, on the day his mother had the accident, he received a phone call and collapsed..."

After hearing this, An Ning was already in tears, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Sister An, after the news of An Yucan's death spread at the school, we felt extremely guilty and remorseful. However, we dared not tell the school because they said that if this matter were to be publicized, it would affect our studies... It sounds like they are a big shot, and we are just students; we can't afford to offend them."

The girl took a thick envelope out of her bag and placed it in her hand. "Our payment is one thousand each, so here's five thousand in total. We can't take this money, and we certainly can't spend it... Sister An, I'm so sorry, so very sorry!"

"Sister, we're so sorry to him." Another boy handed her an envelope. "This is a handwritten apology letter from us. We hope you can take it to him and burn it for him. We hope he can forgive us."

Anning wept silently. After a long while, her eyes red, she pointed towards the cemetery and said, "He's right there. Why don't you go see him yourselves?"

"We're too scared...we're too ashamed to face him..." the girl cried. "I'm sorry, sister."

An Ning looked at her, tears streaming down her face. "I can't accept your apology. The person you've wronged isn't me, it's Yu Can. You should apologize to him in person."

She gently closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

"He once said something to me, and now I'm passing that same thing on to you."

An Ning took a deep breath and glanced at the five young faces. "Medical students are angels who have come from thousands of stars. They are going to sail to China to see all aspects of life and make the harsh winter disappear and the stars shine forever."

"I want you to know that your hands are for saving lives, not for crushing kindness."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Suddenly a girl called out to her.

"Sister An!"

The girl walked over quickly, her face streaked with tears. "There's one more thing I need to tell you."

She lowered her voice, "Before An Yucan had his accident, someone from outside the school came to see him. He wasn't in a good mood that day. I happened to be out of school to buy something and saw him by chance. I thought it was some kind of gossip, so I took a few more glances out of curiosity."

"Who?"

"I don't know. She was a very beautiful and wealthy woman who drove a luxury car. I heard the people next to her call her 'Miss Cheng'."
