Chapter 1113: Trembling Fingertips Brushed Her Hospital Gown—'Li Buyan, Please…'
Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: Trembling Fingertips Brushed Her Hospital Gown—“Li Buyan, Please...”
"Then you can leave. I won’t be with you. I live happily on my own, whereas being with you would only make me miserable."
Li Xingle raised his hands in the air, unable to stop them from trembling, inching closer to her.
Finally, his trembling fingertips touched her hospital gown, "Li Buyan, I’m begging you..."
She had never heard Li Xingle speak to her like this.
He didn’t dare touch her body, only holding onto a small part of her hospital gown. Even so, Li Xingle was so nervous he almost couldn’t breathe.
These past two days here, he hadn’t slept a wink.
Every time he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of her talking to the baby, picturing their image, imagining them together. And with that thought, he couldn’t fall asleep.
He missed her too much.
Li Xingle saw she didn’t speak and moved his lips, breathing heavily, "You’re angry. You can do whatever you want to me, just come back to me, please. I’m begging you..."
"I’m not angry. To me, getting angry at you isn’t even necessary anymore. You’ve succeeded in making the Li Family broken. Even Brother Mu Chi doesn’t know where he is. Uncle is dead, Aunt is sick, my father is working outside, endured cold stares, and our family is separated across two shores."
"Li Xingle, you’ve had your revenge. You’ve done everything you wanted. I should congratulate you; your plan was very successful."
"No, no, it’s them. I didn’t know!"
He truly didn’t know how the Li Family ended up this way.
He knew deep in his heart that he loved her, so how could he harm the Li Family? It would hurt her!
"You didn’t know, so be it. As for us, it was destined to end, from when I left, from when Jian Nian came to my hospital room to assert dominance, from when you said I was a backup, from when the baby almost slipped away, from a long, long time ago!"
"Little Li..."
"I, I..."
"It’s my fault, all my fault!"
Bang!
Li Xingle knelt behind her,
his fingers sliding away from her hospital gown.
He lowered his head, fingers pinching the wide leg of her hospital gown, his chest aching sharply with each pounding heartbeat, breathing heavily and raggedly, his whole being suddenly felt a century older.
Li Buyan’s body trembled slightly; she walked forward only to realize he was holding onto the hem of her pants.
"Mr. Li, this is a hospital, a public place. Please have some dignity!" Li Buyan bowed her head and abruptly moved forward.
Li Xingle’s hand struck the floor.
He seemed unaware, unable to feel the pain.
"What do you have to do for me to forgive you..."
"No matter what you do, I will never forgive you." Li Buyan looked up at the sky, not allowing her tears to fall.
"Are you really that heartless, willing to see the baby grow up without a dad?"
"Li Xingle, who do you think you are? Do you think you’re the only man in the world? If I wanted to find someone to be the baby’s father, couldn’t I? Why would I specifically need you to be the baby’s father? After the way you treated me, I will never forgive you!"
"Don’t come looking for me again. I don’t want to see you. Don’t secretly come to see me either. In this life, we sever all ties and obligations!"
Li Buyan finished speaking and ran away directly.
While running, she wiped the tears streaming down.
Her hospital gown sleeves became soaked.
She still loved him.
But the hurt he caused was already enough.
Her heart was fragile, unable to withstand another blow.
If they were to stay together, even the slightest breeze or movement, a single straw, would crush her tightly wound nerves.
She returned to the hospital room, where Mrs. Li was holding the wailing baby, "Where have you been? The baby cried as if the sky was falling, try feeding him."
