Huo Tian did not care about her reaction at all and continued, “And I admit that I took care of you because I was afraid that my conscience would be uneasy. I’ve always felt that I have a certain responsibility for making you like me. If anything happens to you, I’ll find it difficult to forgive myself. However, I have to emphasize again that this has nothing to do with love. If it were any other girl, I would be here today too!”

With that, Huo Tian sighed heavily.

He originally did not know how to speak at all and did not want to aggravate Chen Lin’s emotions at this juncture and affect her condition. However, seeing how stubborn she was, he could only clearly emphasize his thoughts. He really could not treat her like before.

When Chen Lin heard these cold words, her expression gradually became desperate. She sneered and said, “Is that so? Is that all? You’re not only guilty, but you’re also afraid that she won’t have a good impression of you, right?”

The “she” Chen Lin was talking about was undoubtedly Bai Ran.

At the thought of this name, Huo Tian took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

After a while, he said again, “Yes, that’s right!”

Chen Lin widened her eyes as well. She did not expect him to admit it.

“Then I’ll tell you. You guessed correctly. I love Bai Ran so much that I can’t help myself. I love her so much that even if she rejects me, it doesn’t matter to me either. As long as she’s happy, I don’t care if I’m not with her for the rest of my life.” At this moment, Huo Tian no longer hesitated and said his heart in one breath. “She’s so kind. She cares about you, and if you get hurt because of me, I think she won’t forgive herself for the rest of her life. I don’t want her conscience to be hurt!”

Chen Lin looked at him in disbelief. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She felt like she was a joke.

“So you’re just using me to resolve your guilt and add to your persona? If you don’t like me, why did you care for me? If you don’t like me, why did you cook for me? Why did you smile at me? Why did you let me see hope? I was wrong from the beginning. You’re not as noble as you think. Huo Tian, you’re a hypocrite!” Chen Lin could no longer suppress her emotions. The frustration and disappointment made her furious.

Huo Tian had a determined expression and was unmoved. He said, “Perhaps. I was wrong about this. I’ll make it up to you, but what I can tell you now is: Give up. I won’t love you!”

With that, Huo Tian turned around and prepared to leave.

He originally only wanted to reject her and did not want to use such a decisive method to treat a minor girl who had not recovered from a serious illness.

Furthermore, he did not hate Chen Lin and had even treated her as a little sister.

However, when he thought of Bai Ran, some things came out naturally.

He had let too many people down. He could not let Bai Ran down anymore, and he could not let Chen Lin down either. The best way was to cut ties quickly.

When Chen Lin heard this, despair surged into her heart. When she saw that Huo Tian was about to leave, she was even more anxious.

She knew that if Huo Tian went out, their fate might end today!

“Huo Tian, are you going to leave me like this? I was injured for you. Are you really not going to care about me?” Chen Lin was anxious and shouted from behind.

Huo Tian’s back was facing her as he shook his head helplessly and said, “I’m sorry. There was something I made you misunderstand in the past, so I can only apologize. I can’t continue to be wrong, and I can’t accept you. It’s better to experience pain quickly. I hope you can grow faster!”

With that, he prepared to leave.

“No, you can’t leave. Brother and Sister-in-law handed me to you. How can you leave just like that? I haven’t recovered yet. If you leave, I won’t be able to recover anymore!”

Chen Lin grabbed the corner of the blanket tightly and shouted hysterically. She was ultimately a child. At this moment, she was like an orphan abandoned by an adult. She was panicking and afraid, wanting to grab Huo Tian like he was her life-saving straw.

The sobbing in her voice became stronger and stronger. Even though Huo Tian had made up his mind and refused to turn back with his back to her, his heart had already melted.

Yes, she was still young. What did she know? She felt that this was love. What was wrong with pursuing love?

However, he was different. He was an adult and a man who had experienced marriage. He knew what mature love was like. Taking advantage of others when they were not in their right mind was like taking advantage of them. His morals did not allow him to do so.

Huo Tian sighed and said, “I didn’t tell anyone about your condition. I won’t come again.”
