She looked so beautiful that day. Her bright eyes had become very gentle, and she looked at the world placidly, paying attention to every person and object.

She even saw Lin Xuanyin, but she did not see him.

From the beginning till the end, she did not glance at him at all.

At that point in time, he was consumed with rage and maliciousness. He did not realize that was her last glance. She had bidden farewell to the world with serenity.

She wanted to leave.

Lin Xuanyin and her were lying on two operating tables. The doctor had looked at him and asked, “Young Master Lu, can we begin?”

He looked at her with reddened eyes, staring at her. He did not know what he was waiting for, but he was waiting for something. He was waiting for… a word from her.

But she did not say a word. She did not even look at him.

He said gravely, “We can begin now.”

He added on another sentence. “Do not give her anesthesia.”

The doctor was startled and his eyebrows furrowed in concern. This was a heart transplant operation, and Lin Xuanji’s heart would be taken out, but he had actually instructed the doctor not to give Lin Xuanji anesthesia.

The doctor had been in this profession for so many years, and he had never seen someone so ruthless. Lin Xuanji’s heart was going to be taken out just like that. He was flummoxed.

“Young Master Lu, this…”

He looked at the doctor. “You don’t understand?”

The doctor swiftly lowered his head. “Yes, Young Master Lu, let’s begin the operation.”

The operation began. The doctor injected Lin Xuanyin with anesthesia and Lin Xuanyin fell into a deep sleep.

The doctor took the scalpel and came to Lin Xuanji’s side. The scalpel was glistering with a cold l.u.s.ter, and the tip of the knife gradually inched closer to her heart.

He did not leave, despite the gruesomeness of the heart transplant operation. He gave her one last stare, and his voice was filled with rage as he asked, “Lin Xuanji, do you have anything to say to me?”

Lin Xuanji’s luscious, long lashes quivered and she closed her eyes.

She did not answer nor look at him.

His hands balled up into fists and he spat out, “Begin.”

“Yes, Young Master Lu.”

The scalpel cut into Lin Xuanji. Suddenly, there was a shrill beeping sound. Her blood pressure suddenly showed a dip on the machine.

His features turned somber. He stared at the doctor and asked, “What happened?”

“Young Master Lu, I don’t know.”

His heart promptly sank. He looked down at Lin Xuanji, who was lying down on the operating table. There was a streak of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

His dark eyes narrowed and he acted without thinking. He grasped her smooth shoulder with his large palm and shook her. “What have you done? Lin Xuanji, what have you done?”

The bleeding did not stop. Fresh red blood continued to trickle from her mouth and landed on her red dress.

He used his coa.r.s.e thumb to wipe off the blood, but more blood came as he wiped. He was simply unable to wipe off all the blood.

He covered her mouth with his hand to stop the bleeding, but suddenly realized that he was being ridiculous. He curved his cold, thin lips and scanned her face. “Lin Xuanji, what have you eaten, huh? Speak! Did you hear me, I asked you to speak!”

Lin Xuanji raised her head, and her bright eyes gazed up at him as the blood continued to seep out from her lips. “Hmmm, Lu Jinwen, did you know there are some yellow flowers behind this bungalow? The medical books said that they were Gelsemium elegans, the most lethal poison in the world. I’ve already eaten the flowers.”

He froze. He thought that he would surely kill her there and then.

He would kill her with his own bare hands.

“Pump her stomach immediately! If she dies, all of you will not be able to live!” He gave the doctor a malevolent stare and roared like a wounded beast.

At this moment, two hands were placed on his muscular chest, and he was pushed aside.

As he was caught off guard, the push made him off balance and he staggered a few steps backwards.

Lin Xuanji leaped from the operating table. He saw her flowing red dress all around him. She ran barefooted. Only yesterday, he had kissed those exquisite feet, that fair skin.

Her smooth and delicate body was simply like a poppy flower. During the time she was imprisoned, it was his greatest pleasure to indulge in her body.

He loved the taste of her. He was able to derive extreme satisfaction from her body.

She ran quickly and arrived at the window in an instant. She pushed open the window, climbed over it with astounding agility and stood on the balcony.

This was a bungalow on a cliff and the sea was just beneath.

He could hear the waves cras.h.i.+ng against the rocks and her tinkling laughter.

She turned her head to look at him. She was flas.h.i.+ng the same radiant smile he had seen on her a year ago at the temple where they met for the first time. She had turned back to glance at him and given him a captivating and bewitching smile.

It had been so many years and he had not wanted to admit it all along. He had actually been equally smitten with her during their first encounter.

That was a glance that ended up wrecking their lives.

“Lin Xuanji, what are you doing? Come down now! Let the doctor pump your stomach. Do you really want to die?

“I know, you are threatening me, aren’t you? You are threatening me by dying. Alright, let’s cancel this heart transplant operation. We will stop it immediately. Get down here!

“What else do you want? Do you want that b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Alright, I will get someone to find him. I had asked someone to throw him away. He may still be living, for all we know.”

He did not know what he was talking about. He had spoken a lot. He looked at the blood at the corner of her mouth and her bloodstained red dress. He looked at her tiny feet, which were standing unsteadily on the balcony. He felt… rage.

Fear.

Oh, he was fearful.

At that very moment, he finally felt the heart-rendering, twisting pangs of fear.

He was experiencing fear for the first time in his life.

“Lu Jinwen.” At this moment, her soft voice called out to him. Her sparkling eyes were looking at him. “I’m leaving.”

Lu Jinwen, I’m leaving.

This sentence blasted in his ears. The veins on his body were throbbing. “Do you dare to? You know that you can’t escape. I will find you wherever you are, even when you are dead!”

She did not seem to hear him. She swept aside the hair near her cheek. Her red dress exuded a seductive aura. She did not speak to him, and was merely murmuring softly to herself. These were the last words in her life.

“When Elder Sister Xuanyin and I were born, Mom died on the operating table due to a huge loss of blood. Since I was young, I know that Mom had used her life to let me live, and so I’ve always cherished every single day.

“I love to laugh, and I believe that every day is a beautiful day. Nothing is able to defeat me, because I grow strong from cheris.h.i.+ng and loving myself.

“Now, even though I’m still in the prime of my youth, it is a struggle to live every single day. It is pure darkness and misery before me.

“Even though I have three children, I’m not a good Mommy. I haven’t even had the chance to be a Mommy for a single day. I’m not a good daughter either. Mom gave up her life to let me live, but I’m ending my own life today. I’m sorry, Mom.”
