Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Pain That Gnaws at the Bone_1

In front of Hai Xiaotang, he was just that – a laughable, undignified man.

He himself wished to kill this version of himself…

Thinking about it, Dongfang Yu was once again filled with rage.

“Hai Xiaotang, do you know what it feels like to have your bones eaten away?” He stared at her, questioning every word.

Hai Xiaotang was dumbfounded.

Dongfang Yu sneered, but the darkness in his eyes was too dense to dissipate, “I’ve experienced it, because of you–”

“…” Hai Xiaotang was stunned yet again.

Then, Dongfang Yu flattened the curve of his lips, his expression suddenly turning dark, “But it’s all in the past! Everything is in the past!”

“…”

“It’s just regrettable that I was left with chronic gastric pain. However, thank goodness it’s all in the past now!”

Hai Xiaotang stared at him blankly, at a loss for words.

The feeling inside her was complex and somewhat uncomfortable…

Watching Dongfang Yu’s departing figure, Hai Xiaotang muttered to herself.

Dongfang Yu, as for the pain of bone erosion, how do you know I haven’t experienced it?

I had to die once to move past it.

Have you really moved on…

…

Dongfang Yu left, he probably didn’t want to see her, so he left.

Hai Xiaotang stayed alone in the hospital until she finished her herbal medicine and then left.

When she left the hospital, a driver who had been waiting for a long time approached her, “Miss, the young master instructed me to pick you up. Please, get in the car.”

Hai Xiaotang slightly paused, her emotions once again turned complex.

Dongfang Yu, since you chose to forget, why didn’t you cut off all ties?

Yes, Hai Xiaotang wasn’t a fool.

She was well aware that Dongfang Yu still loved her, but she knew he genuinely wanted to forget her.

He was conflicted, striving to forget her yet couldn’t help wanting to treat her well.

She saw all of this, but she could only pretend to be oblivious. She couldn’t do anything and didn’t want to respond because she wasn’t a savior.

Moreover, any love given out of compassion or mercy would only insult Dongfang Yu.

Just like what the madam said, if one doesn’t love someone enough, then don’t respond to them at all.

If their love is still unsure, they shouldn’t be together.

After all, neither of them could handle being emotionally hurt again…

Moreover, she genuinely hadn’t sorted out her feelings for him yet.

So, just let it be… Time will give them their answers.

…

Hai Xiaotang didn’t immediately go home, she chose to return to the Hai Family’s old house first.

Seeing her return, Mama Zhang was extremely delighted.

She carefully examined Hai Xiaotang, and with teary eyes said, “Miss, thank goodness you’re okay. If anything happened to you, what would we do?”

Mama Zhang had worked for the Hai Family for many years, focusing on taking care of Hai Xiaotang.

She had taken care of Hai Xiaotang from a young age, so she was deeply attached to her. On the day Hai Xiaotang had the accident, she didn’t sleep all night due to fear.

Only yesterday, when she was certain that Hai Xiaotang was okay, did she finally calm down. But without seeing her in person, she was still anxious.

Now, she can finally rest assured.

Hai Xiaotang looked at Mama Zhang, her hair appearing to have whitened slightly, and hugged her, “Mama Zhang, I’m sorry for making you worry. But you don’t have to worry, I’ll be okay. Grandpa will be okay too, we’ll all be okay!”

Mama Zhang nodded with a smile, “Yes, yes, yes, you’ll all be okay. The old master will surely return safely. But miss, are you injured?”

Hai Xiaotang shook her head, “No.”
