âBecause you will never know what your actions represent!â Hai Xiaotang roared, âDongfang Yu, youâve killed me, youâve killed me againâââ
Once again, because of his ruthlessness, her heart diedâ¦
Dongfang Yu was shocked. He didnât understand her words, but he knew that she was in great pain because of him.
Dongfang Yu held her tightly once more, with all his might, as if he wished he could meld her into his flesh and blood!
âHai Xiaotang, I donât want to hurt you, I really donât! Maybe you wonât believe it, but I never intended to trap you. If Grandfather hadnât confessed last night, I would have taken you with me. Iâve even considered abandoning my hatred and just being with you, Iâm willing to give up everything for you, butâ¦but I canât let go, I donât want to do thisâ¦â
By the end of it, Dongfang Yu didnât even know how to explain himself anymore.
Uncovering the truth was their familyâs mission. But in the end, they too, didnât want to believe it.
He didnât want to do it this way, but if he didnât, the truth would never surfaceâ¦
He had tried his best to minimize the hurt, he was aware that Hai Xiaotang would be in pain.
However, he didnât expect her pain to be this unbearableâ¦
In any case, Dongfang Yu was truly panicked and afraid.
All he knew was to hold her tightly, to explain without hesitation, as if doing so could keep her around, prevent him from losing her.
But Hai Xiaotang remained unmoved.
No matter his explanations, they couldnât change the fact that she had been âkilledâ again.
Dongfang Yu finally noticed something was off about her. He lowered his head to look at her, and all he saw was her lifeless face.
And her eyes devoid of any spiritâ¦
âDongfang Yuâ¦â Hai Xiaotang spoke weakly, his heart jolting from her words, his body trembling.
In that moment, it seemed like he awaited a death sentenceâ¦
Then, he vaguely heard Hai Xiaotang speak.
âI knew this day would come, yet I still walked this path⦠This is a punishment from the heavens for my stubbornness⦠So, I accept it, but I beg you, please spare meâ¦otherwise, Iâm really going to die, dieâ¦and never be able to live againâ¦â
Dongfang Yuâs pupils suddenly dilated!
His heart seemed to be struck hard by something, intense grief crowding in.
Coming so violently, coming so unexpectedlyâ¦
He didnât know why he was undergoing such agony and fear.
But he knew that if he didnât let go, Hai Xiaotang truly would die.
He felt she truly would die, as if he had witnessed it himselfâ¦
When he thought of this possibility, his whole body convulsed with pain.
His hand drooped lifelessly, and he forced a word from his throat, âOkayâ¦â
And then a tear trickled down the corner of his eye.
â¦
Dongfang Yu didnât know how he managed to leave the Hai Family.
How he got in the car, how he started the carâ¦
He drove while struggling to breathe, his mind numb and blank.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The further he moved away from the Hai Family, the worse his heart ached.
From the moment Hai Xiaotang uttered those words, he had been in pain.
This kind of pain was like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, unstoppable, and with enough force to destroy everything.
He didnât know where this sorrow came from; all he knew was that he had let go. And his heart, it was really about to dieâ¦
Perhaps, it wouldnât hurt so much once he was dead.
Dongfang Yu suddenly let go of the steering wheel and the car crashed into a tree with a bang. He promptly passed out on the wheel.
