Chapter 806 - Fix One Thing (1/2)
Xiu's session with Gigi has ended over half an hour ago but she didn't want to go back and lie down on her bed especially when Darren was sleeping. So, she chose to maneuver her wheelchair towards the balcony to get some fresh air. Wrapped up in a knit blanket, she let the cold air numb her brain so that everything that ran through her mind would stop for a while.
Earlier Gigi had asked her a question, ”If you could choose to fix one thing in your past, what would it be?”
Xiu hadn't answered her at that time. It wasn't because she was unwilling to answer. She had been very cooperative during their session, why wouldn't she continue to do it? It was just that she genuinely had no answer to that question.
Surprisingly, she had been asking the same question to herself lately...
If she could really choose one moment to return back to, what would it be?
Did she want to return back to the time she decided to give back on her life?
The answer was no! She didn't think she wanted to go back to that time of despair and loneliness all over again.
Then she asked herself again. What if she returned back to the time she saved Liu Nuan's life? Would she still want to save her life?
The answer was very obvious. Just as she had told Bohai last night, she'd indeed choose to save Liu Nuan's life. Because she'd never want someone to die as long as she could save them, she'd do it. Without thinking about the consequences at all!
There was one moment she did feel like she wanted to change though. What if she chose to reveal her infatuation to Darren back when they were just phone buddies? What would have been different? She didn't know about the rest but she was certain that she'd be able to love him for longer and she'd able to save him from the suffering that her death brought to him.
However, the reality was she couldn't return back to anywhere. No matter how bad she wanted to change something in her past, she couldn't deny that she was more afraid of losing what she had now. The warmth of a family that she always desired. The only thing she desperately wished for.
So even if she was given another chance, she'd still like to choose the present that was familiar to her. She shook her head and tried her hardest to focus solely on filtering out her thoughts.
To her surprise, she soon heard a familiar voice from around. Hearing the voice of Xin Zimen, she decided to just stay there. However, who knew she would be able to hear some shocking revelations. And even after the people from the other side were already gone, she was left staring blankly into space.
For a long moment, her brain didn't register anything. Nothing made sense to her. It was almost like once again someone was trying to shake up everything she believed in. And this time, the impact was stronger!
She continued to blink as some words echoed in her mind...
~Chen Xiu was neither Chen Hana nor Xin Suyin's daughter.
~Chen Hana had lied to Xin Suyin to bade for time to save Chen Xiu.
That's it!
Those two things were the only things running through her mind at that moment. And it continued to run amok in her mind. These words jumbled up and wreaked havoc in her mind. For a moment, those words made sense, and then they didn't.
Xiu stared at her empty hands intently for a while before lifting her warm hands to touch her cold face.
”To save Chen Xiu...” she muttered to herself. ”To save Chen Xiu. To save Chen Xiu.” She continued to repeat those words in a small voice for a while as she recalled something...
*Flashback*
”As my mother, shouldn't you be standing on my side?!” Chen Xiu questioned the woman standing before her with her back towards her. ”How can you ask me to give up my happiness for someone else?”
