Chapter 297 - The One and Only (1/2)

Just like what Aunt Yue had predicted, the man that she had been waiting for started to realize that something was amiss from the forbidden place.

'Why did that woman's power suddenly become so weak? Wasn't she only doing her routine reading just now?' The man couldn't help but feel that something was indeed fishy. He needed to find her as soon as possible!

The man quickly used his qing gong and went to the forbidden place and what he had seen... shook him to the core. He almost fell down when he saw the condition that Aunt Yue was in --- she was weak.. very weak... and it seemed like she had a hard time to even breath!

He ran to the bedside and asked, ”Yue Yue... what happened to you?!” It seemed like the man didn't have an ordinary relationship with Aunt Yue, judging from how intimate he called Aunt Yue.

Aunt Yue glanced at him and laugh weakly, trying to look as calm as possible. ”I become so old now... So ugly, right?” She felt conscious of her face, after all, she used to look very beautiful and young. No matter what... a woman always wanted to look beautiful, right?

The man shook his head and answered honestly, ”No... no... you are not ugly! What are you talking about? You are the most beautiful woman in my eyes.”

Aunt Yue laughed and she started to cough up blood once more, ”You are always the sweetest. Sorry that I can't follow your wish! I couldn't keep my promise to you...”

The man looked worried when he saw the blood. His heart was beating faster, feeling afraid that she would suddenly be gone. ”Yue Yue... what happened?! Why did this happen? Why are there so many bloods?!” His hands were trembling. He was afraid... afraid that she would leave him all alone.

”My Yue Yue... How...? How did this happen?” The man kept asking while sobbing. He couldn't hold back his emotions anymore.

His gaze turned colder when he analyzed everything and realized something. ”You've found her, right?” He asked her in a blaming tone. ”Why... why didn't you tell me?! WHY?!” He started to feel angry and raised his voice in frustration.

Aunt Yue smiled softly despite her pale face and the pain that she felt, but she didn't deny his words. She couldn't deny it because it was the truth. Sooner or later... he would find out about it. Besides, she needed him to do something for her.

”Why?” The man asked in a trembling voice once again but in a softer voice. He tried to coax Aunt Yue to give him an answer.

”Rong Jie... it's time to let me go!” Aunt Yue said sadly. ”You should accept my fate! It's almost time for me to go!”

”No... I won't! I will kill her! I will kill her!” His eyes were red due to his heartbreak and anger. He tried to jump out of the room and found the source of the troubles! However, Aunt Yue gripped his hand tightly, preventing him from running away.

”It's too late! Even if you kill her, I won't be able to retrieve back my power...” Aunt Yue tried to appease him, even though she knew that she would fail. The man was beyond heartbroken.

”Yue Yue... you already knew the consequences beforehand... and yet, you went along with it?! Why? Have you decided to abandon me from the start?” Rong Jie couldn't help but cry. ”Don't you know how much I love you?!” The man confessed his feelings without beating around the bush.

”No! How could I abandon you?” Aunt Yue vehemently denied his accusations. She did that because she had no other choice! ”I know... I know that I hurt you... but... Rong Jie ah~! She's my granddaughter. I can't let anything happen to her,” Aunt Yue explained.

Rong Jie froze when he heard what his Yue Yue just said. ”Your granddaughter... Our...?” He was surprised by this revelation. He thought they only had each other in this world! Their son didn't remember anything, so how could they count on him? Besides, he was a selfish man. The most important thing in this world was his Yue Yue!

Aunt Yue nodded her head. ”That's why I can't let you kill her!” Aunt Yue said sadly. She had made a difficult choice and she had to stick with it. Her granddaughter had a bright future ahead, while she was already this old. Her decision was very obvious!
