Chapter 160 1 Parting 2 Broad-mindedness
But why is she questioning me now?
"It's nothing, Mr. Song. You're very busy, there's no need to trouble you with such a small matter."
Song Yafei looked unhappy, her brows furrowed, whether because of what I said or because I hadn't informed her about the hospitalization.
She unusually patiently explained to me, "About the psychological counseling, I really just wanted to better win you back, I didn't mean anything else, please stop making a fuss, okay?"
Even now, she still thinks I'm just making a fuss.
Those brief days made me forget that between us, she never truly understood me or considered my feelings.
But now it seems like I'm the one being unreasonable, and I feel incredibly powerless. I don't want to explain, and I don't want to see her again.
However, I can calm down and say things I wouldn't normally say, some hurtful things.
"I'm making a fuss with you? Even if we did make a fuss over the years, that was a long time ago, and you never paid any attention to it, did you?"
"My life has been filled with joy because of you, and with despair because of you. All my ups and downs are because of you."
"Looking back now, I realize that my emotions have been controlled by you throughout my life. I've also come to understand many things. Why force the past? That's how life is, and that's how relationships are."
Perhaps it was because my emotions were so deep that I poured out my heart.
"I did two foolish things to you. At a critical moment, I thought I was doing it for your own good and chose to abandon you, which has caused us both lifelong regrets."
"The other one was to marry you, in an attempt to salvage our lost relationship and make it up to you, but it only left me heartbroken."
"If you ever truly loved me, let me go this time. Let's forget each other and go our separate ways, okay?"
My words made Song Yafei turn pale.
She looked at me, incredulous, her eyes filled with pain.
I looked back at her without fear, no longer running away, without any expectations.
Perhaps seeing the determination in my eyes, she hesitated several times before finally stopping in her tracks.
The usually calm and composed Song Yafei gradually lost control of her emotions, but I no longer cared, and my heart was completely unmoved.
Looking back, I realize that in many similar situations, I was always the one who was cruelly rejected.
I was just telling her the truth today, but she can't accept it?
Whether she accepts it or not, this matter will not change.
The atmosphere in the room became very oppressive, and I didn't want to see her again.
"Go ahead. I've made things very clear to you. I'll be transferred to another hospital soon, and from now on, we'll part ways and never see each other again."
But Song Yafei was clearly unwilling to do so. She rushed to the bedside and tried to grab my hand.
But I dodged just before she raised her hand.
Her eyes looked hurt, but I didn't want to pay any more attention to her.
She explained almost pleadingly, "Zhang Tian, I've explained to you before that my conflict stems from your leaving, which is why I want to get revenge on you."
"But where does hate come from without love, and where does revenge come from! I just couldn't find a reason to do those things that hurt you."
"I was just being insincere with everyone else. I hurt you, and I'm sorry, but hurting you actually hurt me more."
"I didn't tell you all this, I just hope we can go back to how things were before, wouldn't that be better?"
She was still trying to explain that if it had been earlier, even just two days earlier would have been fine.
She explained everything, and perhaps there was still a chance for us, but when all these things happened at once, I could no longer accept it.
"A broken mirror is hard to mend! I've tried, I've tried to forgive, I've tried my best. But even if I patch it up, it will still leak air in the end."
"Forget it, why make things so difficult for yourself? Just let things take their course, that's fine. If you still want to threaten me like before, all you'll get is an empty shell."
My casual remark elicited a look of terror from Song Yafei. "No! Zhang Tian, don't do anything foolish again!"
She must have remembered what happened before and realized that I wasn't threatening her, but that I was really capable of doing it.
I sneered, "Haven't I done enough stupid things? You can leave, I don't blame you. Everything was wrong from the very beginning."
"If I hadn't chosen to leave, if I hadn't chosen to marry you again, perhaps everyone could be happy."
"It was wrong from the very beginning, I don't blame you, really. I loved you, but it can only go this far, you understand? Stop forcing yourself."
She loved me, but that was a long time ago.
She may have tried to salvage the situation, but the incident remained a knot that couldn't heal the wounds she had suffered.
So who's to blame for all of this from beginning to end?
It's just fate playing tricks on us.
Perhaps this is the final outcome.
I am about to die, so why should I add to her suffering?
Song Yafei looked at me intently, her gaze full of affection, but I was unwilling to try to discern the truth of her feelings.
At this moment, Hu Mei, Lin Qiuran, and another person entered the ward together. Upon seeing that Song Yafei was still there, Lin Qiuran flew into a rage.
"What are you doing here? Want to see what he's got that will kill you? I'm so sorry to disappoint you. You've been in the hospital for days and haven't shown up, and now you're here trying to get attention. Go find your big star, we don't need you here!"
I was worried that someone around me might say something that would offend Song Yafei again, so I wanted to stop them.
Fortunately, Song Yafei didn't seem to care about what Lin Qiuran said; she just looked at me in vain.
I paused, then changed the subject, "Have you completed the discharge procedures?"
"It's all taken care of. I can leave first thing tomorrow morning."
Lin Qiuran put the paperwork in the cabinet next to her, and then unceremoniously asked Song Yafei to leave.
"Mr. Song, please go ahead. Nobody in this room wants to see you."
I glared at him helplessly, reminding him to watch his words.
Lin Qiuran saw this and reluctantly pouted.
Song Yafei left after all. Before she left, she told me, "I'll come see you again."
Clearly, she didn't listen to what I said, and it seems we'll continue to be entangled.
This reminds me of the two pieces of jewelry I made for her; they're still at the villa.
If she sees this, will it make her do something else?
I felt a little uneasy.
That night, Lin Qiuran and Xu Hu stayed at the hospital with me, and Lin Qiuran refused to leave no matter how hard I tried to persuade her.
"Who knows when that person will come back? I'm worried about Xu Hu being alone."
Unexpectedly, his words came true. The next morning, before I even woke up, Song Yafei was already sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at me intently.
Xu Hu and Lin Qiuran were asleep on the sofa next to them, completely unaware that someone had arrived.
When I woke up, I was startled by what I saw.
