Chapter 1636  : Epilogue (9)

That apology held the weight of more than twenty years of sorrow and grief. Li Shu lost all composure and broke down in tears in the ambulance.

All her life, the only regret she had had was marrying Mo Hai.

Among all her suitors, Mo Hai had been the most shameless in pursuing her.

At first, she would always think that he was a playboy who didn’t know what love was, and that flirting with her was just a passing fad for him.

But she had not expected that he would leave his frivolous lifestyle and go after her wholeheartedly for three years.

In those three years, he had never rested.

His effort and persistence did not go unnoticed by her.

In the end, she had said yes to him.

In the first half a year into their marriage, he had truly been good to her. She had even forgotten the womanizer he had used to be.

But unexpectedly, into her final month of pregnancy, another woman appeared before her, heavily pregnant as well.

It devastated her so much at the time that she even gave birth prematurely.

Eventually…

After she gave birth, this whole problem became something that she had never been able to get past.

Even though it had just been a studid drunk moment on Mo Hai’s part, not that he had any feelings at all for Yao Lili.

But even a purely physical affair was intolerable.

She knew that Mo Hai loved her and, in the process of conquering her, she had fallen in love with him too.

She was a person who took promises seriously. When they got married, they promised each other that they would support each other all their lives, so this was what she wanted to do.

At the time, Mo Hai had pleaded with her, hence she never divorced him

But every time Mo Hai had tried to get intimate with her, she could not help thinking about the circumstances under which Mo Hai had been intimate with Yao Lili. A feeling of disgust would overwhelm her, making it impossible for her to let things go.

Hence for the next twenty years, the two of them had lived in mutually tormenting each other.

Although they had loved each other, his mistake caused them to live in pain for many years.

She knew that their divorce now was the right step to take.

To save the last bit of goodwill they had for each other.

Thus, she had cold-heartedly rejected Mo Hai’s plea for a reconciliation. This was the only way to release the both of them from the pain.

But she had not expected that Mo Hai would go to this extent for her.

She cried her eyes out.

As she looked at Mo Hai through her tears, he continued, “Li Shu, I said that I would be by your side for the rest of our lives, but now… I can’t. I thought about it. This… is the best ending for us. You don’t have to bear with me anymore and, at the same time, love me. And I… did not lose you in the end, isn’t it so?”

He didn’t have to face losing her, being alone till the end, feeling the pain for the rest of his life. All that to him was a relief.

They had loved each other for a lifetime, but Yao Lili and Mo Zhi’s existence was like a thorn in the flesh that would never go away.

Li Shu kept looking at him.

As she did so, she finally buried her face in her hands and cried aloud.

She didn’t want Mo Hai to die.

But she knew that if he lived, it would be impossible for her to be with him.

Just like the man had said, if he died, she would always remember him fondly.

She would let all the bad things in the past go.

But…

“Don’t die, please, I beg of you, don’t die, I forgive you.”

With those words, the knot in Mo Hai’s heart finally loosened.

Not long after, the equipment in the ambulance started to beep.
