Chapter 1964: Chapter 1964: I Never Meant to Hurt Him
Dan Hanxi coldly interrupted her, squinting his menacing eyes.
"..."
Qin Youxuan was left speechless by his retort.
She grasped the hem of her skirt with both hands, biting her lip.
"Dan Hanxi, these words might fool outsiders, but there’s no need to act in front of me. Even if you’re not doing anything to Tingye now, did you ever think about using him against Dan Hanjie?"
"..."
"Tingye’s kidnapping, my father’s death... all of this is connected to you, isn’t it? Only now do you claim to care for your nephew. When you used him, where was your conscience? Tingye’s corneas were once severely damaged; if it weren’t for Diwu Zexuan, he might have been blind now. What right do you have to righteously blame others for their distrust?!"
Qin Youxuan walked to the sofa, clenching her fists tightly, trying to control her temper.
Whenever she recalled that moment of despair, she couldn’t stop the hatred from surging.
"...I never thought of harming him."
After a long pause, Dan Hanxi spoke softly.
He lifted his head, gazing at Qin Youxuan with sincerity in his eyes.
He never wanted to hurt Tingye because the boy’s eyes resembled hers; he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Otherwise, with his resentment towards Dan Hanjie at the time, that child would have died long ago.
"You never intended to, but you still hurt him. Regret can’t change anything now. If you wish to continue down this path, no one can save you."
"Do you think even if I gave up, Dan Hanjie would trust me?" Dan Hanxi answered coldly.
His eyes held a touch of icy ferocity.
To reach this point, it was already a fight to the death.
Without hatred, he didn’t want to live for even a day.
His deepest desire now was to drag Dan Hanjie down with him!
"You never tried to trust others; how do you know they wouldn’t?" Qin Youxuan blinked her cat-like eyes and sat on the sofa opposite Dan Hanxi.
"Dan Hanxi, it’s not yet a dead end. No need to be so pessimistic. With Diwu Zexuan around, you might not die."
"What’s the difference between living like this and being dead?" Dan Hanxi’s lips curled into a mocking smile, his gaze slowly lowering to his legs, now devoid of feeling.
If someone had said this before he lost his legs, there might have been room for reconciliation.
But now, apart from revenge, he no longer knew what other meaning there was to his life.
The woman he loved was with his enemy, and he had lost everything he was proud of...
Living was nothing more than struggling to survive.
"Look at me now, a cripple who can’t even fight back when hit." Dan Hanxi’s lips curved into a bitter smile, infinitely desolate.
Before, not to mention being beaten, with his skills, it was always him doing the beating.
And now he was like this, all because of Dan Hanjie’s fault!
"A large part of this is your own doing; don’t push all the blame onto others."
Back then, if Dan Hanjie hadn’t acted, it would have been them who died.
The hatred Dan Hanxi felt had nowhere to vent, mainly because of the sins he committed back then.
"Back then? I don’t want to dwell on the past. I only see the present; my whole body is in pain. Will you treat my wounds?" Dan Hanxi’s deep voice carried a hint of desolation and a touch of pitiable.
He was very thin.
Since becoming disabled, his health had declined daily.
The once imposing figure gradually became thin.
The pallor of his face revealed a fragile weakness.
