Chapter 870 - Painful Cries (1/2)
Xiu had been trying her best to push back her tears. She really didn't want to shed ugly tears before Xin Zimen. However, the moment Xin Zimen said, 'Don't get hurt.' Xiu lost herself to the grief that welled up inside her heart.
And just like that, she surrendered herself to the grief that had entered her heart like a tsunami to wreak havoc and destroy her. The moment her tears rolled down her face, Xin Zimen was startled. He was frozen at his place as he watched her sob painfully. She had finally accepted the emotional pain that's been knocking at the door of her heart trying to creep in and even Xin Zimen could see a heartbroken look in her eyes.
Her silent sobbing suddenly turned into an earth-shattering cry that shook everyone's heart in the room. Before Xin Zimen could even move, Xiu held his waist and hugged him tightly as her cries grew louder and louder.
The sound of her wailing was making it difficult for Darren to breathe but he found himself helpless in this situation. He knew there was nothing he could say or do to make her feel better. Nothing was gonna help. But maybe just maybe hugging Xin Zimen would help her. Even if he hoped for that, he still couldn't stop himself from shedding tears silently with her.
Currently, only Darren and Han Bohai could understand Xiu's crying. And it was painful to them.
Xiu didn't care about how she looked, she just buried her face in Xin Zimen's body and continued to cry out. She hadn't cried so painfully since the time of her rebirth. But now, she couldn't stop herself. Today, she truly felt like crying her heart and soul out!
She wanted to scream, 'Daddy, your daughter had been hurt already! This world hurt her so much that she gave up on her life! How can you tell me to not get hurt now? I've already destroyed myself once! How am I supposed to tell you how much it hurt? How am I supposed to tell how the world treated your daughter when you weren't there to protect her?! How am I supposed to tell you that I lost the right to even complain to you because I killed myself? I killed your daughter! I lost the right to call you daddy! I lost it all because it hurt so much!'
She really wanted to scream it all out but in the end, she had even lost the right to scream it out loud. Just how was she supposed to say it all out loud? What right did she have now?
After being stunned for a long while, Xin Zimen hugged her head and said, ”Little lass, why are you crying?” He didn't even realize that his voice was shaking just like his body was shaking right now. He could feel his shirt getting wet because of her tears but all he felt was like each of her tears was burning him. Not his skin, it was burning something else inside of him.
Whatever was burning inside of him, it was painful. It was making his heart ache. It was making his heart clench painfully. He didn't know why but each of her cries was tearing his heart ruthlessly.
He tried to push her away to look at her face but she refused to budge. In fact, when he tried to push her, Xiu grasped onto him even more tightly as if she was holding onto her last shred of life.
From the moment he met Xiu, he had always seen her smiling. He had always seen her trying to look for something positive even in the worst of conditions. No matter how she got hurt, she didn't cry out in pain.
But today, seeing her so vulnerable made him feel displeased. They say crying washes away the inner clutter but for some reason, he didn't want to see her crying. It hurt him to see her in tears. He didn't even know why he felt like he was choking up with tears right now.
”Dad!” Xiao Li shouted at his father as he came close. ”Why are you just standing there? And why did you make her cry?”
”I didn't,” replied Xin Zimen. ”I didn't do anything.”
”If you didn't, why is she crying so much?” Xiao Li shot back in anger. Even he could feel the pain of Xiu from just the sound of her cries. And honestly, he knew his father didn't do anything. But currently, his mind wasn't working properly at all. To him, all he could see was Xiu's tears and nothing else.
”Regan!” Xiao Li turned to Darren but found him in tears and when he turned to Han Bohai, he was also silently trying to hide his tears. This made Xiao Li even more confused. He didn't even know what was going on to make them all so emotional.
