"Can’t we do this one last time?" Tang Yuchen asked painfully, his tone more pleading than ever before.
She shook her head, "Not even once, unless our child was still alive, unless Yun Feiyang could wake up."
Tang Yuchen’s face turned somewhat pale.
Yun Feiyang might wake up, but their child could never come back to life.
She was telling him there was no possibility between them anymore.
An Ruo lifted her leg to leave when suddenly, a splash sound came from behind her.
She paused her step but continued walking forward. However, after a few steps, there was no sound behind her. It was eerily silent, not even a splash.
What on earth was he up to?
An Ruo resisted for a while but eventually turned back, only to see the water undisturbed.
She remembered he was drunk; could he have fainted?
An Ruo recalled the time he had fainted in the water before, her heart suddenly filled with anxiety.
Quickly turning on the light, she ran to the poolside and looked down, only to see him lying at the bottom with his limbs outstretched, silently submerged.
"Tang Yuchen, get up, this isn’t a joke!"
She shouted anxiously at him. Seeing no response, she didn’t think twice before jumping in, sinking to the bottom to embrace his body, and forcefully pushing him upwards.
The previously unresponsive man suddenly wrapped his arms around her, one hand on the back of her head, kissing her lips, drawing breath from her mouth.
An Ruo’s eyes widened in shock, meeting his shiny black pupils.
He had tricked her again!
She struggled angrily, annoyed at herself for foolishly jumping in to save him.
Tang Yuchen didn’t trouble her too much; holding her, he surfaced together, and upon getting air, An Ruo took a deep breath and yelled angrily, "Is playing with me fun for you?"
"I really did faint at first, but after falling into the water, I woke up soon after..." he explained, lacking confidence.
An Ruo gave him a cold look, pushed him forcefully, and swam towards the shore.
"An Ruo, do you actually have feelings for me? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have jumped in to save me," his haunting voice followed her.
If she truly hated him to the core, she would have left him to die.
An Ruo climbed onto the shore, turned around, and faced him with her clear eyes, coldly saying, "Let me tell you, if it were a dog that fell into the water, I would save it too. I saved you because I couldn’t just watch someone die, so don’t flatter yourself!"
After speaking, she turned and walked away.
Tang Yuchen’s eyes dimmed; had she truly lost all affection for him?
At that moment, the man’s heart felt as cold as the pool water, icy cold, with a hint of chill.
His heart ached, helplessly, unwilling to let go, but even if he begged on his knees, she would not forgive him now.
In agony, Tang Yuchen closed his eyes, leaned against the swimming pool, stared at the ceiling, and soaked in the water for a long, long time.
Playing in the water all night, he fell ill the next day, with a high fever, and was delirious, looking very weak.
Uncle Tao anxiously called the doctor to give him an injection, but he drove them all out, refusing treatment stubbornly.
Uncle Tao kept knocking on the door, urging him to let the doctor check him, not to fight against his own body.
But the person in the room just wouldn’t open the door.
The doctor said his condition was very serious, and delaying treatment would only worsen his health; it was best to treat it immediately.
But even if he was seconds from burning up, the person inside still wouldn’t open the door.
