Chapter 462 Cold Response
Bai Ran had never been willing to face this matter.
Back then, she had doubted herself, but to tell her now, it was not that she was not liked, nor was it that she had done something wrong. It was this person in front of her. He had done it deliberately, or rather, from the beginning to the end, this was a trap!
Chen Chen replied hesitantly, “I came today to tell you about her illness. Her… Hu Wan’s illness is fake. Or rather, it’s not that serious at all.”
Bai Ran looked at him in disbelief.
Chen Chen nodded seriously and said, “I just got the evidence too. I was very shocked. Do you know? I didn’t want to tell you originally. I felt that I was sorry, but…”
He lowered his head in difficulty and said after a while, “But I promise you, I really only have responsibility to her. You’ve always been the one I love. Please believe me! I once thought that I had love for her too. Even when Gu Qian said it, I pretended not to care. But after you were kidnapped by her last time, I really understand. I’ve taken care of her for many years. I do have feelings for her, but they’re only between a brother and a sister. There’s no love between us!”
Bai Ran looked at him. The proud Chen Chen looked a little humble at this moment.
However, this had happened too many times. She was unwilling to believe it again, and she did not want the same thing to happen again.
Responsibility? Could this word be used as a shield to explain all the harm he had done to her previously?
More than ten years of feelings had been wasted. Who could see her tolerance and self-doubt?
Chen Chen saw that Bai Ran’s reaction was different from what he had imagined and thought that she did not believe him.
Chen Chen continued, “I won’t look for you unless I’m completely confident in this. Look at this!”
As Chen Chen spoke, he handed the medical record and test report to Bai Ran. “It was the director who called me over and gave me these things. They’re definitely authoritative. Hu Wan and her doctor have been deliberately lying to me. They used their illness as a bargaining chip to force me to get a divorce and to force me to stay away from you. Please believe me!” Chen Chen looked sincere.
His sincerity made it difficult for Bai Ran to reject him. She took the report calmly.
Indeed, the data on it was very normal. It was even covered with the provincial hospital’s seal.
She had no reason to doubt him.
Bai Ran sneered. Hu Wan had really played a big game! It was no wonder that even Lan Xin had guessed Hu Wan’s condition previously.
However, could this reason explain Chen Chen’s past actions? It was clearly impossible.
Bai Ran stuffed the medical record and test report back into Chen Chen’s hand and replied calmly, “I understand.”
Chen Chen immediately looked anxious and said, “You don’t doubt me anymore, right? I got these from the hospital. They’re definitely real… Sigh, I know you never trust me after those things, but please believe me. I can’t joke about such things!” Bai Ran replied calmly, “I believe you. I didn’t say I didn’t believe you.”
Then, she smiled again, her eyes filled with determination. “I just don’t understand. What do you want to prove today? Her illness is fake. From now on, you don’t have to care about her anymore and you can love me well?”
Before Chen Chen could answer, Bai Ran continued, “So, if her illness is true, you’ll still leave me to fulfill your ridiculous’ responsibility ‘and then abandon me like I’m trash. I’ll become the sacrifice of your guilt, right?”
“No, listen to me…” Chen Chen was a little anxious when he saw Bai Ran’s firm attitude.
“What? You came here in high spirits to prove this to me today because you want me to say something? Forgive you for letting me down in the past? Find a perfect reason for your heartache? I’m sorry. It happened. No matter what you say now, it can’t make up for those years. It can’t make up for all my years of feelings!” Bai Ran said, tears appearing in her eyes.
Her attitude was a little aggressive, something Chen Chen rarely saw.
It was a lie to say that she was not shocked by the news Chen Chen had brought today, but this was not a reason for her to forgive Chen Chen. So what if his illness was fake? Wasn’t Chen Chen considering Hu Wan’s condition previously and sacrificing her feelings? It was even so in front of his life.
