Chapter 1952 - 1746: The Far Shore
Happy lives are always around us, sometimes they slip past us without notice.
"Don’t worry, I’m a man of my word. If I say something, I won’t regret it. But I also hope you remember every condition you agreed to today. If you ever regret it, I don’t mind making our affairs public.
Actually, you still don’t understand why I can threaten you like this, because you never really believe in me. If you had a bit more trust in me, if you were willing to say a few good words to me, if you gave me just a little more attention, I would never treat you this way. But now, I have no choice. You’ve hurt me, broken my heart, so why should I let you have a peaceful life now?
Trust between people is mutual. I once trusted you completely, but you chose not to. I wonder, if so, is there any point in us being friends? Since you no longer want to be good friends with me, I can only break the balance of this relationship, leading us both down a path of no return. I just want you to know that threatening me brings no benefits. When you should’ve threatened me, you didn’t, yet you used the wrong approach. In the past, whatever it was, as long as you said a few words, I would soften. But now I won’t. Especially after knowing you abandoned me for another man, I have firmly resolved never to believe a word you say again. If you dare threaten me again, I won’t let you get away with it. Now you see the proof, but I should congratulate you. All of this is your doing, your own bitter fruit, and you must bear all the consequences yourself."
"Yes, you’re right. All of this is just the fruit of seeds I’ve sown myself. From the beginning, I shouldn’t have met you. If I hadn’t met you, then all these troublesome things wouldn’t have happened. I truly regret it now, regret how easily I believed everything you said back then.
I don’t want to say anything now. I just want to tell you, even if my husband and I can never go back to how things were, I will never be with someone like you. Being with you suffocates me because what you feel isn’t love, you just love yourself. Your way of loving yourself has turned into loving me. In your eyes, maybe you think you love me. But ask yourself, do you really love me? Do you love someone by hurting them, making their life miserable?
Chen Gang, people have hearts of flesh and blood, no one owes anyone anything. In this vast world, don’t you know there’s a saying: ’What’s meant to be will be, what’s not meant will never come, despite all your efforts.’
I don’t know if you can understand this, but I hope it helps you, that you stop being so stubborn. This won’t benefit you at all. Don’t let our differing views break our once-best friendship; I believe you know what to do.
Yes, you’re a smart person. You should know what will bring the best result for us. You won’t do things to put each other in an awkward position, but I also hope you understand there are things that should or should not be done..."
"In my eyes, there are no things that should or should not be done, only things one dares or dares not do. To me, I don’t care how you see me, I only want to hold you tightly in my arms forever, so you can never escape. To me, I might not care about how you perceive me. But do you know? What I fear most is seeing you cry before me. Your tears can break my heart. I can’t bear to watch the woman I love most cry her heart out in front of me and be unable to comfort her, it makes me feel like such a failure."
"Don’t come to me with this nonsense. Don’t you think today’s outcome is your own doing and what you deserve? You trusted me so much, yet I used you. If you hadn’t so easily trusted others, how could things have turned out this way? All of it is your own fault, you deserve everything. You deserve being kicked out by your husband. You deserve not being trusted by anyone, and you deserve ending your days alone and lonely!"
"Yes, all of this is just my own doing, my own fault. How can I blame others for it? Some outcomes were destined long ago, yet I foolishly chose to trust someone who should never have been trusted. I believed him only because I internally trusted that my best friend would never deceive me, that my best friend would always be there for me. But do you really not know how things turned out?
Rest assured, I won’t threaten you again because I dare not. You have leverage against me, and I can only comply. But I also hope you understand, don’t cling too tightly to this leverage lest one day we both end up destroyed. When that day comes, do you think I would care? I’m already insane, I can’t care about these things anymore. I can’t foresee their impact on me or their consequences. What I care about is whether I can return to the man I truly love and continue to have a happy family..."
Chen Gang never thought the woman in front of him could treat his threats as nothing. She didn’t care about the leverage he held over her. She only wanted her family to be happy and healthy. Perhaps he was really at fault, yet all of this was the doing of the woman he loved most, and she deserved to endure it. If he hadn’t been treated so, how could he have turned to such revenge and cost her the happiest family?
The human heart cannot be compared. It’s said to put oneself in another’s shoes, but when everyone uses their heart to compare, they find that ultimately, it’s themselves they’ve hurt.
"You should rest well. You can’t remember anything now, so you need to recover your health to regain your memory!"
