100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 520 All for This Day

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid..." Gu Hangshen sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her back, holding her frail body with a heart full of sorrow, "I’m sorry, I should have been with you all this time!"

"Gu Hangshen..."

"Hmm?"

"Is he... really dead?"

"Yes, everything is over now, no more wild thoughts."

"Why... why did he commit suicide?"

"Probably, he felt guilty for killing your mother, so he sought repentance through suicide in the end."

"Guilt? Repentance? That kind of person... would he?"

Gu Hangshen sighed, "Xiaoqiao, don’t think that everyone is so bad. Nobody is born a wholly irredeemable villain; often, there is so much beyond one’s control..."

In fact, when Gu Hangshen first covered Xiaoqiao’s eyes, he didn’t intend to tell her that Huo Yandong had committed suicide.

Because he was worried that if she knew about Huo Yandong’s action, it might soften her heart and cause her pain.

But in the end, he still revealed the truth.

Even though Huo Yandong had done many bad things, when a person is about to die, his words tend to be kind.

At least, in choosing to end his life in that final moment, he gave Xiaoqiao a new lease on life, as the last thing he did in this world as a father.

Rather than letting Xiaoqiao believe that Huo Yandong’s gunshot was meant to kill her, it was better for her to know the truth, to hold a bit more love and warmth in her heart instead of becoming colder and more distrustful of others.

Xiaoqiao looked at Gu Hangshen, shocked that he would actually speak in favour of Huo Yandong.

"Gu Hangshen, why are you speaking for him? Don’t you hate him? He even committed suicide, depriving you of the chance to take revenge for your family with your own hands!"

"I truly hated him to the bone, and when I was young and rash, I even wished he could experience the pain of losing everything. But later, I realized that this man was already so tragic he did not need anyone else to take action; he was the most pitiable person who had nothing."

Gu Hangshen paused, "There’s one thing I must admit, I am grateful to him for bringing you into this world. If it wasn’t for you, I might still be an unfeeling instrument of vengeance. From a long time ago, you’ve mattered more to me than revenge..."

"Gu Hangshen..."

This was the first time Xiaoqiao heard Gu Hangshen say such moving words; how could she not be moved?

She gazed at him with those eyes that seemed to speak, without blinking, focused on him, and Gu Hangshen, unable to contain himself, bent down to kiss her eyes, indescribably excited to finally see into her eyes after three years.

"When will I be able to see?"

"When I got the news of your death, the shock was probably too much. Not only did my eyesight return, but it seems I’m not faint-hearted about blood anymore. It appears that your life-threatening situation was a rebirth for me!"

Gu Hangshen held her, somewhat excited, "I have always felt that the world was unfair to me! Now it seems, it was all for this day!"

"Ah! Right!" Xiaoqiao suddenly raised her head excitedly, but ended up bumping into Gu Hangshen’s chin.

"Sorry! Sorry! I’ll rub it for you!"

"It’s alright..." Gu Hangshen looked at her clumsy ways, both crying and laughing, "What were you going to say?"

Xiaoqiao hastily asked, "How’s Tang Yu?"

Gu Hangshen’s expression visibly darkened, "If the shot had been a little more to the left, it’s estimated he wouldn’t have been saved! Now, although the surgery was successful and his life was saved, during the surgery, the heart had to be temporarily stopped, his breathing and blood flow sustained only by a cardiopulmonary bypass machine.
