Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 434: 434: Xue Tong, be good...next life

The villa is like ruins, everything has almost turned to ashes, the smoky and scorching smell sting the nostrils, so pungent that one dares not open their eyes...

Every place you can reach out to touch is the dirty color of pot bottom, a different kind of scorching heat, making it difficult to breathe.

This is a battlefield that has just been swept by flames, everything is a symbol of fragment and death...

Evidence that is about to vanish...

Xia Xi’s pupils are hollow, she stands in the middle of the house, looking up at the sky, her vision blocked by a charred pillar with wisps of smoke rising from it, obscuring all the light of her life.

A strange smile hangs on her ugly face, her body trembling desperately, saying, ”Hiss, dead! All deadーーー”

She keeps shaking! Like a broken doll, completely without a foothold.

”Xia Xi!”

A tense voice is transmitted from outside the ruins.

Xue Tong, wearing a black leather jacket, traverses mountains and waters to rush into the ruins and, in the first instance, catches Xia Xi’s falling body.

She is pressed down by Xia Xi’s weight, forced to squat on the ground, and Xia Xi’s head dangles lifelessly, resting on her knees.

”Dead, all dead...”

Blood stains the corner of Xia Xi’s lips, she is weak all over, grinning with red liquid on her teeth, saying, ”Xue Tong...I’m going to die too...”

She reaches out, touching Xue Tong’s pale cheek, the blood in her palm leaving a trace.

”No, you won’t!”

Xue Tong grabs her hand, saying, ”I am a doctor! I don’t allow you to die!”

Her voice is steady, revealing no emotional fluctuations.

But Xue Tong has already made up her mind!

At that time, she didn’t save her husband’s life! Now...she cannot just watch Xia Xi die...even if she has to struggle against death, race against time, she must save her...

”I know, your medical skills are amazing...so before you came, I already took poison...don’t bother...”

Xia Xi leans against her leg, looking utterly exhausted, murmuring, ”He, is dead...I don’t want to live anymore...so pointless...might as well go to another world to accompany him...”

Who on earth is he that she speaks of! Xue Tong doesn’t know, has never heard Xia Xi mention...

But she knows, this must be an extremely important person to Xia Xi! Precisely because he’s important, he’s hidden deep in her heart, reluctant to speak of to others easily!

Xia Xi says weakly, ”Why is he dead but I’m still alive...”

She speaks lifelessly to herself, not knowing to whom she is talking,

Xia Xi smiles brightly, yet it resembles a mandala flower blooming amidst desolation, a torrent of blood flows from her mouth, saying, ”I...am not as capable as you...I can’t live without him...”

”When he was alive...I originally wanted to escape...but somehow...he died, and I’m heartbroken, it’d be better if I died...”

”People, maybe only after losing, do they find the preciousness they previously ignored...the things easily within reach...never truly cherished...this is the sin I created...it’s my debt to him, I must go down to repay him...”

Xia Xi’s eyelids lift, but she doesn’t have the strength, she is dying and uses her last ounce of energy, saying, ”Xue Tong...sorry...I lied to you...I’m leaving first...I couldn’t fulfill the promise to you, I have to renege, I’m really sorry...”

Xue Tong forces her voice calm, controls her emotions, saying, ”What you promised me, you have to fulfill!”

Xia Xi feels a warmth on her face, sensing the falling of liquid.

Xue Tong cried...

”The thing I promised you...unfinished...you, you must be very angry...Xue Tong, sweetie...in the next life, I’ll definitely keep you company, keep you company...”

The sentence is left incomplete, as Xia Xi has used up all her strength.

Her hand slides down Xue Tong’s cheek, the final note of life, completely falling into the last beat.
