Chapter 865: Unexpected Disaster! (1/2)

Song Shou saluted and was about to leave when he remembered his intention and hesitated. After a few seconds, he said, “Your wife has sacrificed a lot for you. Even if you do not agree with her methods, you shouldn’t ignore her efforts entirely. At the very least… Sir, I think you should part on good terms.”

“…”

Huo Chen did not even look at his subordinate when he was done talking, as though he did not hear the man at all.

Song Shou shook his head, sighed, and then left the operations room.

After he was gone, Huo Chen sat down slowly and looked dispirited.

He could not accept that Wen He would leave him, even if it was for his own good.

Sometimes, a lack of trust is worse than not loving the other person.

She promised him before…

No matter what obstacles stand in their way, they would face them together and never be apart.

However, she broke her promise so quickly. If she could not trust him, then even if he forgives her this time…

It would happen again, and again. She would always make the same decision.

He could not survive her repeated betrayal toward him.

…

At the same time, Wen He felt similarly dejected.

“You were right, Gu Jinzhi. Perhaps, I should not have come.”

She had travelled from so far away to see him, and yet it was for nothing.

Gu Jinzhi understood what she was going through. “If you can at least realize that, then you are not beyond saving yet.”

Wen He inhaled deeply. “I’ve said this before, but it was my decision to come here.”

She lay in bed with her hands as a pillow. Her eyes gazed lifelessly at the ceiling.

“In any case, I am not leaving. I don’t mind waiting in this room until the war is over. Only until then will we return home together, get our divorce, and go our separate ways.”

Gu Jinzhi admired her steadfastness.

She did not back down, even when faced with her current situation.
