Bai Dan and Old Han just stood by the bed, watching him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
The next moment, his lips moved.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t speak, it was that he hadn’t opened his mouth.
He became somewhat afraid.
Afraid, he opened his mouth again. Still no sound.
After a long time, he finally spoke.
His voice was hoarse and very soft, sounding as if he were eighty or ninety years old.
"I’ve got some good news for you."
Bai Dan looked directly at Bai Da as he spoke. To them, it indeed was good news.
Bai Da somewhat couldn’t believe it. What good news could his dad possibly have for him?
"Dad, what good news?"
But he also didn’t have the courage not to ask. He had always thought that being beaten was torture. But now he knew that it wasn’t. It was being cut off from the world that was the real torment.
He couldn’t bear that feeling for even a second.
So now, he could only endure.
"Congratulations, Bai Da."
Bai Dan looked at Bai Da very seriously and then began to speak with genuine sincerity.
"Congratulations on your divorce."
Bai Dan spoke lightly and even seemed genuinely happy for him.
Bai Da felt it was like a myth.
"Dad, what are you talking about? How could I possibly divorce Xiuxiu? I would never divorce her in my life." Not even in death, absolutely not.
He and Xiuxiu were a match made in heaven. This life. And the next life, they would still be husband and wife.
They would live a harmonious and happy life together forever.
"You don’t believe it? The divorce certificate is still warm. Here, take a look?"
Bai Dan directly placed the divorce certificate in front of Bai Da.
Looking at that small booklet, Bai Da still couldn’t accept it. He trembled as he took it, suddenly not daring to open it. He threw it forcefully to the side.
"Impossible, I don’t know anything about this at all, I didn’t agree. Dad, is it fun to make this kind of joke? I know you don’t like me, but you can’t treat me , can you? I am your own son."
Bai Da became somewhat crazed. The redness in his eyes grew more intense, Bai Zhi frowned and looked to Old Han.
Old Han was also paying close attention.
Old Han glanced at them. He needed to see for himself what condition Bai Da was in.
Bai Zhi wanted to stay, but then she was taken out by Bai Fei and Wu Wa.
Bai Zhi thought for a moment and then saw Ye Xiu coming from the nurse’s station.
"Mom, could you go and provoke Bai Da a bit..."
It was somewhat embarrassing for her to ask since she didn’t have any relationship with Bai Da anymore.
"Yes, I’ll go right now."
Ye Xiu didn’t know why, but since they were already divorced, it was still important to make things clear face to face.
"What have I done to you? Bai Da, I’ve been more than fair to you, let me tell you."
Bai Dan looked coldly at Bai Da, finding his current state simply repugnant.
"You know full well that Xiuxiu is everything to me. Why do you do this to me? Why say we are divorced? Without her, I will die, you know that!"
Without Ye Xiu, what meaning would his life have?
Without Ye Xiu, how could he go on living?
Ye Xiu was his everything, his entire other world.
Ye Xiu had to be his.
"Being with you, I wanted to die too."
Ye Xiu walked in, looking coldly at Bai Da, her eyes ice cold, without any expression.
"Every day with you, I felt nothing but disgust. Just thinking about it makes me want to die, makes me feel sick.
Bai Da, you’ve controlled me for so many years, did that really make you happy? You knew full well that I never loved you.
From beginning to end, I never loved you!"
Every word from Ye Xiu was said with firmness.
