Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 497: Death is Insignificant

"Yu, you’re really as cold as ice. You actually told me to go die at a time like this. Do you have any idea how much pain I’m in right now? I just wanted to have a proper conversation with you."

He was a bit disappointed about this incident, too.

"Besides, isn’t everything I do for the sake of being with you?"

"Jiang Huai, sometimes I really suspect that I’m just your scapegoat, someone you use to excuse your reckless behavior. Otherwise, you wouldn’t say such things." Ji Yu had never encountered something so absurd before. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Not to mention, this person seemed to have some kind of problem in the head.

"Have you ever gone to the hospital to get your brain checked? I always feel like there’s something implanted in your mind, driving you to act so impulsively."

Otherwise, how could a mere child act this way?

Jiang Huai chuckled. "So, you do care about my condition, huh? But even so, what’s the point? I’ve already come to this. There’s no way back."

He didn’t want things to be like this, but the reality was right before him. Was there a way back? Of course not. So all he could do was keep moving forward, one step at a time.

"Behind me lies a bottomless cliff, so I can’t turn back. You’re my only salvation now, and I want to take you away from this abyss with me."

Jiang Huai gazed at her with the same deep emotion, but for some reason, Ji Yu always felt that there was something false about his expression.

"Jiang Huai, make your choice. Do you want to die here, or do you want to help the two of us?"

It was already a question with only one answer.

Jiang Huai couldn’t risk dying like this. In his heart, he had long understood one thing: if he couldn’t have Ji Yu, he wouldn’t be able to die in peace.

"Yu, I love you deeply. In my heart, you’re the most important person. That’s why I’ve been working on an antidote. But Gu Qixiao? That person means nothing to me. I would never save him."

Everything he did had a purpose, and this was no exception.

When Ji Yu heard this, she wanted to argue with him, but before she could say anything, she fainted.

Chaos erupted among the others around them. They quickly rushed Ji Yu to the hospital. Fortunately, the outcome was not too grim; she wasn’t seriously harmed.

Gu Qixiao gazed at Ji Yu, lying pale on the hospital bed, and he felt deep pain in his heart. But he was helpless—he didn’t know how to make the antidote.

"If I were you, I’d give up at this point. After all, clinging on like this will only bring her more harm. Look, if I were the one here, she wouldn’t have to go through any of this."

Jiang Huai remained smug about this. Only he could ensure Ji Yu would live a healthy life. Wasn’t that the most important thing?

"Yu doesn’t want to see you. What you’re doing means nothing to her. I advise you to rein in your temper as soon as possible."

Perhaps having gone through this incident, Gu Qixiao felt oddly calm at this moment. He didn’t see this situation as too big of a problem.

"I’ve already tempered my mood, and I’ve never intended to harm her. In my eyes, she’s the most precious treasure in the world. It’s because of testing your medicine that she’s ended up like this."

Every time Jiang Huai brought up this matter, he was filled with rage. She, the person he cherished above all else, had gone to such extremes for someone else.

"You don’t deserve what she’s sacrificed for you."

Hearing this made Gu Qixiao laugh. Jiang Huai probably still didn’t realize where his real problem lay, which was why he was so arrogant.

"If I were you, I’d leave now. Every single thing you’ve done is hurting Yu."

Anyone with a shred of sanity wouldn’t have done such things. But Jiang Huai had long lost hope for the future. He had finally gripped onto a life-saving straw, so how could he just let go?

This was his fate.

"Fate brought us together again, so I won’t give up on her like this. In my heart, she’s my most important person. You might as well leave her."

She had never thought of giving up.

Even now, Ji Yu’s knife was still lodged in his body.

"Do you even know what state you’re in right now?"

Jiang Huai suddenly brought up Gu Qixiao’s condition.

"If you leave now, I can help you create the antidote. Then you can be restored to normal, without any side effects."

He had planned this trade long ago. If Gu Qixiao stayed, he would just be another obstacle.

All Jiang Huai ever wanted was one person, and yet these problems kept arising every single time.

It always felt like he arrived one step too late, rendering him powerless to change anything.

At that moment, Ji Yu groggily woke up. Listening to their conversation, she couldn’t help but feel speechless. She couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Jiang Huai—he was still saying these things even now.

"Jiang Huai, if you had even a shred of dignity left, you wouldn’t stay here. I’ve already stabbed you; do you not understand what that means?"

He initially wanted to leave, but when he thought about how empty his world would be without her, he couldn’t bring himself to go.

"Yu, you’re the person I care about most in this world. If you left me, what meaning would my life have?"

He had never imagined that something so important could exist in his world.

He longed for salvation, but without Ji Yu on the path ahead, he didn’t dare to move forward.

Sometimes, Ji Yu couldn’t understand what went on in his head—why did he make everything so complicated?

"How can you be sure there’s no outcome if you haven’t looked ahead? Maybe if you move forward, you’ll find someone a lot better than me."

Of course, Ji Yu thought that even if he met someone better, he’d still probably lose control. After all, everything he did was too extreme.

"But still, I’d advise you to work on your temper."
