Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 1637: Chapter 1638: Remorse

This Feng person certainly has a sharp tongue! Her skill in distorting the truth is no small matter!

Glancing at Feng Chenlu, Chen Feng was rendered speechless.

Legally, Jinglei indeed doesn’t need to bear any charges, but looking at the sorrowful faces of Jinnan’s parents, it was indeed an unexpected and shocking tragedy for them, as Jinnan was their only son.

But Jinglei wasn’t at fault. If she knew the truth, she would certainly feel deeply guilty about it.

As she was deep in thought, footsteps were heard at the door of the ward.

Everyone turned their heads at the sound, only to see Feng Jinglei entering the ward, pale-faced.

Upon seeing her, Jinnan’s parents—who once liked her very much—couldn’t bring themselves to smile today, their eyes filled only with heartbreak.

Feng Jinglei indeed felt guilty; she never knew that the car accident was caused by an unintended phone call from her, leaving a once healthy man lying on the hospital bed as if in a deep sleep. If she said she didn’t feel guilty, she wouldn’t be human.

As she stepped into the ward and saw Jinnan’s parents sitting on the sofa, her sense of guilt deepened, and even her steps became heavy.

Jinnan’s parents didn’t speak; they just looked up at her as she walked toward them.

Standing in front of them, Feng Jinglei felt she had a thousand things to say, but upon seeing the man lying on the hospital bed and the tear-swollen eyes of Jinnan’s mother, all her guilt and self-blame made it impossible for her to utter a single word, as if something was stuck in her throat.

Full of regret, she didn’t know what to say to Jinnan’s parents, so she suddenly bowed deeply.

Faced with her sudden action, Jinnan’s mother was at a loss, instinctively reaching out as if to support her, but thinking of her comatose son lying on the bed, thinking of how her son has become half a cripple, while Feng Jinglei is about to marry into a wealthy family, her outstretched hand paused, slightly tightened, and finally withdrew.

Chen Feng knew she wasn’t someone who shirked responsibility, so he couldn’t help but step forward to help her up from her deep bow.

"No one wanted this to happen, so don’t blame yourself too much." Chen Feng could see that since she bowed so deeply, she must have already learned the truth, and he involuntarily glanced at Feng Chenlu.

It must be this woman stirring up trouble.

Feng Jinglei glanced at Chen Feng, her inner guilt not relieved in the slightest by his words of comfort.

She turned to face Jinnan’s parents, "Auntie, I’m sorry, I didn’t know—"

"Feng Jinglei!"

Before she could finish her apologetic words, Feng Chenlu interrupted, glaring at her, "Can you explain why you called Brother Nan at that time? Do you know that because of your call, he might never wake up and could even become paralyzed?"

Thinking of how Jinnan might become disabled upon waking, Feng Chenlu’s hatred toward Feng Jinglei grew even stronger. Since childhood, she had never liked her; Jinglei was better at everything, and even the boys at school liked to surround her, making Feng Chenlu incredibly jealous!

This time, her intensified hatred was entirely because Jinglei ruined Jinnan, shattering her own beautiful love dream as well.
