Chapter 635 - Escape (2/2)

He was a doctor. He understood human anatomy really well.

He knew exactly where the fruit knife could go to end a person's life immediately, without a single pain in the world.

He knew how he could cut the aorta to let him bleed to death in a matter of minutes. He also knew which organ—when pierced—would not even give time for resuscitation. However, he still placed the fruit knife down.

He still could not die yet.

He threw the fruit knife aside and walked out.

When he opened the door, Xia Ruoxin was already in deep sleep. It was hard on her to look after him, a dangerous character, both day and night.

He walked over, squatted down, and placed his hand on her face.

”Ruoxin, the luckiest thing I had in my whole life was meeting you. You're a really good woman, but I'm so sorry. I lied to you in the end. I said I'll marry you, but I ended up marrying someone else.

”I said I would lead you to a good life, but I made you follow me and experience this torture.

”Sorry… I'm really sorry…”

He kept saying sorry repeatedly, kept apologizing; but Ruoxin did not give him any response. It was not because she did not want to give, but she did not know what his apologies were for.

He lay back on his bed and covered his face. No one knew that in this dark and quiet night, the gentlemanly and warm man… was crying without a sound.

…

Xia Ruoxin closed the door and also shut the hollers inside.

She closed the door and sat down beside it, burying her face into her knees. It was happening again, when would it ever end?

”I'll go check on him.” Wei Lan walked over, and her hands were already shaking by her side; even her body was shaking, too. It was worse than the previous, more painful and more intolerable than the previous.

Xia Ruoxin stood up and walked to the side to let Wei Lan in.

Gradually, the noise inside had died down. It should be done real soon. She laughed bitterly, and it wasted all of his energy. She walked into the kitchen and wanted to make something edible. They were all hungry, and this commotion had lasted from morning till now. It was almost noon, and they did not eat a single bite… and so did Gao Yi.

Just as she took out an egg from the fridge, she heard Wei Lan's loud scream and hurried footsteps.

Pa! The egg in her hand dropped on the floor. Instantly, the egg white and yolk were forced to separate.

She ran out and saw Gao Yi dashing outside barefoot with Wei Lan following behind, her face already white.

”Ruoxin!” Wei Lan yelled Xia Ruoxin's name.

Xia Ruoxin chased after him without hesitation. She was only thinking about one thing and one thing only. She could not let him leave, never. He had no form of sanity left: if he hurt someone or if someone else harmed him, what would happen? Besides, no one could know that he was kicking his drug habit; if not, how was he going to live under the eyes of everyone else?

Gao Yi placed his hand on the door handle, but he could not open the door after a long while. Suddenly, like a maniac, he bumped the door and used his two hands to push with all his might. The door gave way. The light outside was too bright, and it made him use his hand to block it. Just as he was about to dash forward, there was a pain in his neck. What he saw with his bloodshot eyes was a young man dressed nicely in a branded suit.

He closed his eyes and fell to the floor. Just then, a hand was extended to help him up.

”Xiao Yi…”

Wei Lan was scared until her legs were wobbly, and she fell back on the floor. She lost all ounce of energy in her body.
