Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: He Still Married Someone Else

But what kind of person was he, who could make Xia Wu wait for hundreds of years?

It’s so incredible, what kind of deep love must it be to endure such a wait?

Han Jing truly couldn’t bear to leave, desperately wanting to know if there really was such a person, someone worth waiting for.

Xia Wu’s lips moved, as if wanting to say something, yet seemed unable to speak.

Miao Ke looked at her: "A Wu, I have swallowed the deadliest poison because I caused the death of your most beloved daughter, and harmed you, causing the deaths of many innocent people on Xia Gui Island. My crimes are unforgivable. It’s not that I haven’t thought about what to do if everything gets exposed, but still, I don’t want to escape. I did so much just to stay by your side, no matter the method, as long as I can be with you; even if it’s death, I want to die in front of you."

"So I have no time left, A Wu. My whole life has been dedicated to loving you; everything I have done, right or wrong, has been because of you. Maybe I am truly heartless, but my love for you is genuine."

"So tell me, who is he? I want to know, what kind of person, what kind of feelings did he give you, that made you so devoted to him."

"A Wu, this is my last wish."

Xia Wu’s gaze was somewhat dazed.

How long had it been since she last thought of that person?

She actually felt that she was almost forgetting him, or maybe she was truly forgetting him; she was close to forgetting his appearance.

Yet when she closed her eyes, his face appeared before her once again.

So, it turned out she hadn’t forgotten after all?

Yes, three hundred years had passed, the wait almost leading to forgetfulness. But how could anyone truly forget?

If you have deeply loved someone, how could you possibly forget him?

But what good is it to remember? Ultimately, in this lifetime, they truly missed each other!

Deep in Xia Wu’s heart, there was a chill.

Yes, it was cold, not pain.

Pain, it was felt long ago, until it turned numb a long, long time ago.

The greatest suffering in this world is not that you’ve never had something, but having it and losing it. They didn’t lack beautiful moments; she had seen his tender gaze upon her, yet what of it? He still married someone else in the end.

If there had never been any hope between them in this lifetime, maybe she wouldn’t have had such long anticipation. But he genuinely gave her hope, without promises, without spoken words. Yet he took the initiative to hold her hand, kiss her brows, and embrace her tenderly.

She always believed that regardless of the circumstances, there was at least a place for her in his heart, wasn’t there? Even if just a tiny bit, there must have been. How joyful and excited she was at that time! She even considered giving up everything on Xia Gui Island to follow him, as long as he asked—she would go to the ends of the earth!

She was willing to do anything, but what could she do?

He still left, chose someone else, abandoned her, didn’t want her!

Xia Wu opened her eyes, and the pain that had long decayed within her heart seemed now to truly be not as intense.

"He is—"
