Chapter 115 - Chapter 115: Severely Depressed (2/2)

“Until that rainy night, when she ran back to us crying. She was drenched. She just held our hands tightly and told us that she wanted to live. She didn’t want to die.”

Qi Shenbai could already roughly guess what happened after that.

After Xu Jiaojiao finally regained her will to live, her treatment quickly showed results. With her family’s love and support, she finally recovered from her depression and became the sunny little girl she was now.

He had never thought that the little girl with that sweet smile had once swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills when she was alone that night. He could not imagine her running home one rainy night, wailing to her family that she wanted to live.

So that was what she meant when she casually mentioned her previous “sickness”.

She had healed the people around her, but no one had been able to heal her during those countless cold nights.

Qi Shenbai’s breathing became heavy, and his heart throbbed in pain.

Xu Zhengyang heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “After that, she slowly recovered. After 1 found out how badly 1 had hurt her, I blamed myself. I swore that I would never hurt her again. I wanted to be the best brother in the world. No one could hurt her anymore. I wanted to treat her better than anyone in the world, better than any other man. That way, she would never leave me again.”

Xu Zhengyang muttered. Even though the cigarette butt had burned out and his fingers were scalded, he did not feel anything.

At this moment, he was no longer as arrogant as before. He had thrown away all his pride.

“Qi Shenbai, now you know that I’m not a good brother. I hurt Jiaojiao irrevocably. Now that I’ve seen how happy Jiaojiao is with you, I’m relieved. 1 only have one request — Make sure she’s happy forever, okay?”

Xu Zhengyang’s voice was extremely low, almost pleading.

Qi Shenbai finished the wine in his glass in one go. Then he grabbed Xu Zhengyang’s collar and punched him in the face.

His gaze was as dark as ink, and he was furious. For once, he actually swore.. “I don’t need you to f*cking tell me that!”
