"Bai Mei, I’m here to see you!"
Bai Xiao stood towering over Bai Mei, who lay on the sickbed, pale yet glaring with ferocious, man-eating eyes.
Even now, Bai Mei showed no trace of guilt or regret, her spirit unfalteringly strong.
She was indeed beyond redemption.
Bai Mei tried to say something with a chuckle, but failed to speak. Her hand, like a chicken’s claw, frantically tried to grasp Bai Xiao. One hand was firmly shackled to the head of the bed, while the other couldn’t reach Bai Xiao at all—it was too far away. She wanted to pinch Bai Xiao with her fingers, even without her old strength, even if just with her fingernails, she wanted to take a chunk out of Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao bent down and firmly grasped Bai Mei’s wrist.
Bai Mei had become dreadfully thin.
Such suffering from illness would break even a good person.
An Zhiyuan, though physically robust, had lost a whole 40 kilograms due to his recent illness.
This was only mitigated by his wife who occasionally secretly supplied him with healing from her special ability. Otherwise, he would have lost even more weight.
Bai Mei now looked like a mere skeleton, her cheekbones sharply prominent, as if she was a ghastly spirit crawling out from hell.
The body that was once full had now withered away to nothing but a skeleton draped in a shirt.
Bai Xiao’s strength was too much; Bai Mei felt it was painful.
She needed to struggle.
But she could not overpower Bai Xiao’s strength.
"Do you think it’s over? I tell you it’s not over yet. What you owe me and what you owe Colonel An, I will collect bit by bit. Look at that expression in your eyes, like you want to devour me. You must be wondering, what do you owe me?
Let me tell you, so you know clearly what you owe.
In our last life, you and your dear sister-in-law Wu Xiaoyue conspired for a dowry of 200 yuan to trick me into marrying Fang Xiaoshan. You know better than I do what kind of life I had with Xiaoshan.
Indeed, like you, Xiaoshan eventually wanted to sell me to settle his debts, so I ran away. Clearly, I am not as capable as you.
Because of this, my brother died, and my two sisters also died. Just because of your greedy selfishness, 200 yuan could end a person’s life.
Don’t look at me with those eyes as if seeing a ghost; yes, I said that was in a past life. My previous life was so miserable, and now I have come back for revenge.
I initially only wanted to fight fire with fire.
Let you taste the sins you committed against me in our past life, but obviously, you’re unwilling to settle your debts this way.
You are more formidable than I imagined.
You even want to seek revenge against me.
Since that’s the case, our vengeance isn’t just a matter of mutual retaliation anymore. You seek revenge on me, and I seek revenge on you—it’s no longer possible.
So, I will take my revenge once and for all.
Look, the doctor said your limbs could eventually heal, albeit you’d walk lamely and move clumsily, but you would still be able to move freely. Speaking is out of the question, and you’ve lost an eye, but primarily, these scars on your face, tsk tsk, though you weren’t necessarily beautiful before, now probably everyone who sees you would shun you.
Don’t be so fierce; even if you scream your lungs out, no one can understand you now."
