"Xiuxiu, I didn’t mean that. I would do anything for you; I’m alive only for you."
Bai Da looked at Ye Xiu with utter seriousness, as if afraid she wouldn’t understand his intent.
Hearing these words for the first time might have been touching—a man willing to give his all for someone else. How moving, right? But after so many plots and schemes, looking at Bai Da now just seemed laughable and loathsome.
She even felt sick looking at him.
"Bai Da, when you say these things, can you recite them with your eyes closed now? Have you memorized them by heart?"
Otherwise, how could you say them so quickly? It really seems like you didn’t even think before speaking.
"Bai Da, at this point, what’s the use of pretending?
When you were inserting needles into my daughter’s body, did you never consider that I might find out one day? Bai Da, why don’t you just die!"
Ye Xiu couldn’t hold back anymore. She rushed forward and slapped him.
With two forceful slaps, Ye Xiu looked at her slightly numb hands with disdain.
"Looking at you now just disgusts me. You used these hands, I should chop them off."
Ye Xiu searched around. There was nothing useful in the hospital room, so she pulled out the keys from her purse and fiercely jabbed them into Bai Da.
"I’ll let you stab; I’ll let you stab!"
One didn’t need to imagine to know Ye Xiu was like a madwoman, using the keys to repeatedly and forcefully stab Bai Da’s foot.
Bai Da didn’t resist. He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. He couldn’t move; as long as it could appease Xiuxiu, he was willing to endure anything.
Ye Xiu kept stabbing until she saw blood and then she laughed.
She looked up, smiling at Bai Da.
Bai Da was stunned and shook his head forcibly, biting his teeth in a particularly forbearing manner, conveying ’I’m in pain, but I will endure.’
"It doesn’t hurt, as long as it calms you down. Whatever you do is worthwhile, Xiuxiu. I really didn’t, please don’t believe Bai Xin. She has ill intentions; she can’t stand to see our loving marriage. Because she can’t have kids..."
Ye Xiu slapped him again, looking at Bai Da with disgust,
"She’s your own sister; how can you speak of her like that? Bai Da, I beg you, be human."
Ye Xiu couldn’t stand it anymore, not even for a minute. This Bai Da, he’s not human.
Bai Da felt anxious. This was the first time he’d seen Ye Xiu so crazed, reckless, as if nothing he said would affect her, elicit any response.
It was as if something was slipping from his control. He couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to take out the bracelet. He couldn’t wait any longer.
"Xiuxiu, could you help me take a wrapped cloth from the bag? I brought you a gift. You said our relationship was like a broken bracelet that can never go back.
But I want to tell you that’s not true. Even if the bracelet is broken, I can remake it for you. We can still go back."
Bai Da spoke eagerly, his gaze on Ye Xiu full of fervor, hoping that once Xiuxiu took it out, once Xiuxiu took it out, he could definitely—definitely make Xiuxiu be with him again.
"Bai Da, what, you want to use that bracelet to control me again?"
Ye Xiu suddenly laughed. This was Bai Da’s declaration of love, incessantly thinking about controlling her.
To hell with his love.
