Chapter 1416: Chapter 1433: Clinging to You for a Lifetime 4

The door to the hospital room was ajar, and Nangong Yaoling stopped in his tracks. Xia Xiaonuan followed beside him, watching Qin Yi sitting in front of the hospital room, gripping Nangong Zhongli’s shoulder tightly.

"Miss Zhong Li, calm yourself! If you’re not afraid of dying, why should you fear living? Everything will pass, believe me..."

"No... no!" Nangong Zhongli reached out to grab her hair, her wrists wrapped in bandages, her face pale, her expression devastated.

Her gaze was fixed on the empty place beneath the blanket where her left leg used to be.

She looked on in terror, as if staring at the most frightening thing on earth.

"I beg you... please! Let me die!" she cried and screamed, pleadingly looking at Qin Yi.

In only a little over a week, Qin Yi seemed to have aged ten years.

Qin Yi repeatedly begged Nangong Yaoling to let him stay at the hospital to care for Zhong Li. Nangong Yaoling, unable to bear seeing him like that, agreed.

But these past few days, Qin Yi was nearly driven mad by Nangong Zhongli’s torment.

However, he never gave up.

"Zhong Li, listen to me. Technology is very advanced now. As long as you get a prosthetic, you can walk like a normal person. You’re still your old self, do you understand?" He patiently coaxed Nangong Zhongli like comforting a child.

Nangong Zhongli’s eyes were swollen, her face haggard, and her forehead was wrapped in bandages. She shook her head and said, "Don’t comfort me... I’m already a cripple. I don’t understand the meaning of living... I don’t understand! Qin Yi, if you truly love me, then... then kill me!"

Qin Yi’s body trembled.

Nangong Zhongli hopelessly looked up, then dropped her head down.

Suddenly, she snapped her eyes upward.

Her gaze fell on the silhouette at the door.

Her body stiffened, her eyes wide, stunned.

Qin Yi turned to follow her gaze and saw Nangong Yaoling and Xia Xiaonuan standing at the door.

He quickly stood up.

"Young Master..."

Nangong Yaoling had no choice but to walk in.

Nangong Zhongli suddenly began to laugh.

"Retribution... this is all retribution... my retribution!" she said through her tears, which streamed from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Xia Xiaonuan felt uneasy.

Nangong Zhongli pleaded with Nangong Yaoling: "I beg you... brother... let me die! Kill me! I’m a cripple... someone like me doesn’t deserve to be a child of the Nangong Family... I don’t deserve to live in this world... I’m begging you..."

Nangong Yaoling said nothing, but his brow furrowed tightly, his pupils turning deep and gloomy.

Xia Xiaonuan glanced at Nangong Yaoling, clenched her fist.

Suddenly, she stepped forward.

"Nangong Zhongli, do you really want to die that badly? Do you think that by dying, you can absolve the mistakes you’ve made?"

Nangong Zhongli looked at Xia Xiaonuan, her whole body shook.

Xiaonuan gritted her teeth, coldly enunciating each word:

"Dying is too easy; heaven won’t let you die so easily! Nangong Zhongli, so you won’t die! Only by living can you atone for the mistakes you’ve made!

For the child you cost me, for Qi Yue’s child, and for Manager An who remains in a coma!

Nangong Zhongli, right now you are bearing the consequences of your mistakes! So I ask you, by what right do you seek death? What reason do you have to demand to die?

You simply don’t deserve it!"
