Chapter 490 - SLEEPING BEAUTY AWAKES (2/2)

”If I say we will, we will.” He responded domineeringly.

Jiang Yinuo smiled at the strange statement. Despite his somewhat stiff nature, Haoran was a deep romantic. Otherwise, he would not have done something like putting her in suspended animation for five years so that he could have time to look for a cure.

However, it was odd that he was willing to give up at this point. Knowing him, he would not give up if there was even a one per cent chance of finding a cure for her. And there was always a little hope with the new medical advances happening every day.

She shifted and pushed him back so that she could look into his eyes.

”Haoran, what happened? Why did you wake me up?” She asked with narrowed eyes.

”I thought you were mad I put you to sleep in the first place. I thought you were happy to be awake.” He chuckled a little.

”I am serious, Haoran. I know you. There is something wrong if you are willing to give up.” She said with a tough tone. ”Please don't lie to me.”

Yuan Haoran looked at the eyes of the woman before him, and his heart clenched in indescribable pain. He had failed her. He could not save her or himself. But at least, they would be together even to the last dying moment.

He wanted to hide the truth from her, but he could not bear to do it when he saw her pleading eyes.

”I also have one year left.” He said. ”I know it is selfish for me to wake you when you might have a chance in the future. But I want to spend my final days with you. I could not bear the thought of dying before I kissed you even once.”

The words sounded cheesy, but Jiang Haoran was moved. She leaned forward and pressed her pink lips to his pale, almost bloodless ones. The gesture was a little awkward, but it was the sweetest moment for the two of them.

”You did the right thing.” She said with pink cheeks.

She was not a bold person. But when it came to Yuan Haoran, she was willing to give him the best parts of herself and more. She only wished they had the good fortune to have a good childhood and blissful ȧduŀthood.

Unfortunately, they were born under unlucky stars.

Yuan Haoran pulled her close again and kissed her. A small taste was not enough for him, especially when he remembered their days were numbered. He wanted to stick to her to their last dying breath. And he would.

”Are you sure you cannot be cured?” Yinuo asked a little breathlessly once the kiss was over.

The man was still not satisfied, but he still responded. ”You know no one survives for long after being in that place. I am lucky enough to have remained stable through all these years. But it seems we cannot fight our destiny.”

”Haoran, speak clearly.” Yinuo pulled his earlobes.

”I have a few types of cancer.” He said lightly. ”Skin, blood and a few others. The radiation wreaked havoc on everything as you would expect. I have been taking the rare material to stabilise my body, but it is no longer effective.”

But again, it was expected that Haoran would not remain healthy for too long. They lived on a radioactive island for numerous years. Most people who went there died in about three years. Their strong physiques helped them live for longer, but they were still destined to suffer the effects.

Yuan Haoran hugged her while she cried. She cried for a few minutes before composing herself. She had a strong mentality. Usually, she did not cry because she could just work for a solution. However, it was a little hard to accept the news about Haoran's death calmly.

”How are we going to settle the scores with Martial Island? We cannot let those people live in peace. I want to destroy the thing they hold most dear. I want them to suffer and have no chance for recovery.” She said while looking at him with calm albeit reddened eyes.

Yuan Haoran smiled and used his hands to wipe the tear streaks from the cheeks. He knew his girl would not let old grudges go. She was as bloodthirsty as he was despite her beautiful and harmless appearance.

”Don't worry.” He said. ”I have something special planned for Martial Island. After the coming triennial championships, their lives will never be the same.”

The red eyes flashed with wicked energy.
