Chapter 17 Forcing Him Away
After Jiang Zhong helped me stabilize my position in the faction the first thing I did was kill my dad's remnants.
The first was Uncle Gu.
But the world seemed against me.
Just as the stone I had worried about for six years landed my heart developed problems.
Jiang Zhong still had no freedom.
He remained trapped in the Han family.
Trapped by my side and even in my death.
My wandering soul followed him.
I watched him die at my grave.
I thought if there was another life I would force him away at thirteen.
But I did not return to thirteen.
I returned to shortly before my heart issue.
Although we had already been in love for six years our affection only grew.
It was when he was most reluctant to let me go.
I practiced countless times what to say and do.
I tried every way to force him away.
No matter how I treated him he would not leave.
Such a dignified person always humbled himself to me.
I wanted to give up many times and hug him.
But I held back.
Until his blood from the shoulder flowed down the knife to my hand.
His burning tears slid across my face.
For the first time I cried out loud.
I only wanted him to live well.
Why was it so hard?
I did not think heaven would pity me more in this second life.
The date of my attack and coma time remained the same.
I would die.
That would not change.
It was Jiang Zhong who told me again and again that I would live.
Once I recovered he would take me traveling the world.
Every day he told me about one place.
He showed me the itineraries he had planned.
Those schedules were so detailed they made me believe it could happen.
Then I would try one more time.
When I met the King of Hell I would beg for mercy.
What if he softened?
