Free Web NovelChapter 201: Chapter 201: The Apology He Owed Her
The moment Yue Yue heard this, she stood up almost instantly.
The despair that had been clouding her expression disappeared, replaced by a sudden spark of hope.
"You really have a way?" she asked anxiously.
Her voice carried a desperate longing.
"If we do this... Luoguang will be fine?"
Luoye tried to smile reassuringly. But the pain tearing through his body made the movement extremely difficult.
Still, he forced the smile onto his lips.
"Yes," he replied softly.
"Dune City is not so useless."
"If they receive the stabilizing medicine... they will be able to calm the poison inside my brother’s body."
"He can survive... until we find the real antidote."
Hearing this, Yue Yue nodded quickly like a little chick pecking at rice. Her anxious heart finally felt a little lighter.
"I will do it," she said firmly.
"I will immediately ask them for another portion."
"You just need to send it to Luoguang."
"He will be fine too."
Xing Luoye quietly watched her determined expression.
Her eyes were still red from crying, but the fear inside them had been replaced by resolve.
A soft sigh escaped from his lips. His eyes slowly closed for a moment as a complicated emotion spread through his heart.
"Yue..."
"My heart was always... with you."
His voice was extremely soft, almost like a whisper carried by the wind.
Looking at the concern in Yue Yue’s eyes for both him and his brother made something warm bloom inside his chest.
For so long, he had doubted her.
Again and again. freewebnσvel.cøm
At every step, he had believed she might have hidden motives. But today, she had stood in front of everyone and protected them without hesitation.
She had even declared in front of all the gathered empires that anyone who dared to hunt Xing Luoguang would face her wrath.
The memory made his chest ache in a strange yet comforting way.
A gentle warmth slowly spread through his heart.
Maybe this time...
His brother had truly been right.
And he had been wrong.
Even if he had lost in love to his own brother, the bitterness he once felt had faded away.
Instead, a quiet sense of peace filled him.
Because Xing Luoguang had judged her correctly. She was not like other females. She was truly kind. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Perhaps, for the first time in generations, the heavens had finally shown mercy to their race.
A single tear slowly slipped from the corner of Luoye’s eye and rolled down onto the bed.
He looked at Yue Yue again, his eyes slightly wet.
Then he gently reached out and held her hand.
"Yue... I’m sorry."
"Sorry... for everything."
Yue Yue immediately shook her head. "I don’t blame you," she said quickly. "I never blamed you for anything." Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
Deep down, she understood the hardships both brothers had endured throughout their lives. Xing Luoye looked at her with a faint, self-mocking smile.
"I was really a jerk to you," he admitted quietly.
"But Luoguang was always right."
"There could never be another female like you."
"So gentle... and so kind."
"It was my arrogance that made me doubt such a pure soul."
Yue Yue frowned slightly as she listened. Then she leaned forward and gently wiped the tear from his face.
"What are you crying for?" she said lightly.
"You are such a grown man."
Her tone sounded almost like a small scolding.
Xing Luoye blinked for a moment before suddenly letting out a soft laugh.
"Hey... why are you scolding me?" he said weakly.
"Can’t you see I’m already in such a miserable condition?"
His chest trembled slightly with the laugh, sending another wave of pain through his injured body. But he ignored it completely.
Because the feeling inside his heart right now was strangely peaceful.
Looking at Yue Yue sitting beside him, worrying so sincerely for him, filled him with warmth.
For a while, the two of them continued talking quietly.
Their voices were low and gentle, like a calm conversation shared in the middle of the night.
The heavy burdens they had both been carrying slowly became lighter with every word they exchanged.
Almost like a real couple sharing their worries together in quiet understanding.
Outside the medical room, the corridor was silent and dimly lit.
The door had not been fully closed, leaving a small gap through which the soft voices inside could be heard clearly.
Two figures stood quietly in the hallway, neither making a sound as they listened to the conversation unfolding inside.
Han Soi leaned against the wall with his arms loosely folded across his chest. His face carried no expression at all. His eyes were calm, almost indifferent, as if the emotional scene inside the room had nothing to do with him.
Yet he did not move away.
His gaze remained fixed on the slightly open door, silently observing everything.
Beside him stood Feng Yanshen.
Unlike Han Soi’s calm indifference, Feng Yanshen’s posture was stiff. His dark eyes stared toward the room, and the faint light from the corridor lamps reflected in them, revealing emotions he refused to show openly.
Inside the room, Yue Yue’s soft voice continued speaking to Xing Luoye.
Every word reached Feng Yanshen’s ears clearly.
Every sound of her worry.
Every trace of her gentleness.
The more he listened, the tighter something inside his chest became. After a few more seconds, Feng Yanshen suddenly turned away.
Without another glance at the room, he began walking down the corridor.
His footsteps were calm and steady, but the emotions inside him were anything but calm.
He didn’t want to listen anymore.
Every word from inside the room felt like a sharp needle piercing his heart.
As he walked further away, Feng Yanshen slowly closed his eyes for a moment.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips.
How ridiculous.
He had always believed himself to be a rational and controlled man. Yet whenever it involved Yue Yue, that control seemed to crumble so easily.
There was an ugly possessiveness buried deep in his heart.
A dangerous desire that wanted to keep her close.
To chain her beside him. To ensure that no one else could ever take her away.
