âYouâ¦â Hai Xiaotang was so frustrated it hurt her chest, âGrandpa will not die! Itâs not my fault!â
âIf not you, then who?! He will be damned because of you sooner or later!â Hai Rongâs eyes were sharp, âIf it wasnât for you, would he be in trouble? And yet you canât even make it to plead for his rescue. How did grandpa ever pamper you like that? Do you even have the shame to see him?!â
Hai Xiaotang staggered a step back.
She suddenly felt an excruciating headache as if her head was going to explode.
Hai Rong continued, âNow get out! Youâre a jinx, youâve done away with your parents, and now grandpa is going to be damned by you too!â
Boomââ
Hai Xiaotangâs pupils dilated, her brain buzzing.
What was her uncle talking aboutâ¦
Zhan Yu, who had been silent all along, couldnât help but tug at her, âXiaotang, you should leave. Maybe when youâre gone, your grandpa will be okay.â
Hai Xiaotang shook her head, âNonsense, how could I possibly hurt grandpa, nonsense!â
Zhan Yu impatiently pushed her, âYou really will doom him, thatâs how your parents died! You should leave, donât let anything happen to your grandpa! Whether itâs true or not, grandpa just canât be harmed!â
Weak all over, Hai Xiaotang fell hard on the ground with a push.
The words of her uncle and aunt were echoing in her ears.
Hai Xiaotang was so pale it was frightening, and felt a deep fear inside.
She knew that the notion of people bringing ill fate to others was a falsehood, but she was still so scared, afraid that she might actually hurt grandpa.
And she was about to lose it, she felt as if she was going insane.
No, she had to escape from everything, or she would die.
Hai Xiaotang got up, stumbled and ran away. She didnât know where to go, she just wanted to escape, to escape to a place with no one else, away from everything here.
Dongfang Yu received the news and rushed to the hospital to see what was happening.
He didnât know why he came.
Perhaps he was worried that Hai Xiaotang would be heartbrokenâ¦
However, as soon as he entered the hospital lobby, he saw a dazed Hai Xiaotang run past him!
The man who usually wore an impassive face, suddenly had widened eyes and swiftly turned his head towards her!
Watching Hai Xiaotang stagger, looking as if she would collapse at any moment, Dongfang Yuâs heart suddenly clenched, his body reacting faster than his mind and chasing after her!
Hai Xiaotang ran out of the hospital, not knowing how long she ran.
The winter air made it hard for her to breathe, and the sunlight was so dazzling it made her want to faint.
Just as she was about to collapse, her body was suddenly held by a pair of strong arms!
Hai Xiaotangâs vacant pupils momentarily froze.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, the world seemed to spin, and it felt as if they were the only two people left in the world.
Dongfang Yu held her tightly, all the longing in his heart bursting out. His arms tightened around her again and again, as though by melting her into his bones, his heart would stop hurting this much.
But the tighter he held her, the more his heart seemed to be tearing.
Because he felt Hai Xiaotangâs coldness, her heart seemed to have been sealed away, there was no sign of her anywhere.
âLet go.â Hai Xiaotang spoke suddenly, her face devoid of any expression.
ââ¦â As though he hadnât heard, Dongfang Yu held on mechanically.
Hai Xiaotang didnât struggle, but there was no light in her eyes, âDongfang Yu, do you know how much I donât want to see you?â
The tall man trembled slightly.
âHow nice it would be if I could never see you again, and be separated from this world.â Hai Xiaotang muttered lowly, her voice full of endless sorrow.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
