Chapter 26 Blood on White Gauze
The wedding came as scheduled.
Feng Si held flowers and walked toward me slowly, against the sunlight.
The well-cut suit made his broad shoulders and long legs even more obvious.
I stood on the second-floor steps, looking down at the man who had been tangled with me for ten years.
The green, wild boy in my memory had been carved by the years into something hard and mature.
The scar at the end of his brow was covered tightly with foundation, like the edge he had deliberately put away.
My heart kept jumping, tense, like water at a boil.
But it was not for the man in front of me. It was for myself, for the promise that was about to be cashed in—
"One day, I will destroy the thing you treasure most."
Without hesitation, I stepped off the second-floor landing into empty air.
My body rolled straight from the second floor to the first.
My abdomen took a violent impact. Blood gushed from between my legs.
It stained the holy white gauze, spreading across the white.
"No!!!"
Feng Si roared himself hoarse. The blood-soaked sound echoed in the wedding hall for a long time.
"The life I owed you—I've finally paid it back."
I pulled on a ruthless smile. The pleasure of revenge outran the pain in my body.
"The first time, I failed to kill you. The second time, I failed to kill myself. The third time, I finally succeeded."
"Let this child settle the score for us... Otherwise, next time, it will be you dead or me dead. That is the ending we were meant to have."
I was like a desperate gambler, staking my life, only for freedom.
