Chapter 924: Final Chapter Before Death (11)

“Kerou, don’t be silly.” The smile on Mu Donglin’s face faded as he looked at her seriously. “I have no chance of surviving. Even if you continued to watch over me, you’d only be watching over a dead body.”

Lin Kerou shuddered as if she had received a huge blow.

After looking at Mu Donglin for a long time, Lin Kerou smiled sadly. Her face was pale and her thin figure looked as though it could easily be blown away in the wind. She said, “I’m willing to guard this dead body. Mu Donglin, don’t even think about getting rid of me in this lifetime, not even the next lifetime, or the one after.”

Mu Donglin felt a sense of suffocation as he looked at the bewitched little woman standing before him. It was an uncomfortable feeling.

Mu Donglin knew better than anyone, Lin Kerou loved him.

In the recent days, the pregnant girl had been running around. No matter what he said, she insisted on visiting him, talking to him, feeding him, and making him happy.

But he knew that she would be exhausted.

Anyone would be exhausted taking care of a doomed man.

Mu Donglin looked at her and sighed. “Kerou...”

“Actually, you’re just hoping to get rid of me, aren’t you?” Lin Kerou sneered. The veins bulging on the back of her hands that were gripping the metal railing. “Do you think I’m unaware, you got someone to contact Li Beinian. You wanted to see her one last time before you die...”

Lin Kerou sounded choked up as she spoke. “Actually, you’ve never forgotten her, right? She’s still your greatest love. Even in death, you don’t wish to die married to me, so that you can always be waiting for her, am I right?”

Mu Donglin looked at her with a heavy heart and kept silent.

Lin Kerou’s heart sank and she smiled bitterly. “You’re not even willing to lie to me now?” As she spoke, she placed her hand on her belly. “Brother Donglin, I’m carrying your child. Can’t you even... lie to me?”

“Kerou.” Mu Donglin took a deep breath. His eyes were as dark and murky as the depths of the ocean. “For so many years, you’ve always been by my side. Through happiness, regrets, and sadness, you’ve always been there. We’ve known each other for more than twenty years, and I’ve... never been able look to you as anything more than a childhood friend...”

Lin Kerou clenched her fists and shouted, “Enough, stop it!”

Mu Donglin ignored her and continued, “Since I was a child... I’ve treated you like a sister...”

“Shut up, stop talking!” Lin Kerou cried uncontrollably. “Mu Donglin, do you have a conscience! I love you so much! How could you say such things at a time like this? How could you say such cruel things? Mu Donglin, you beast!”

“Yes, I’m a beast.” Mu Donglin smiled bitterly.

If he weren’t a beast, he wouldn’t have married the woman of his dreams and pushed her off to another man. If he weren’t a beast, he wouldn’t have allowed his wife to suffer such inhumane treatment while he was nestled in the tenderness of his “sister”.

He looked at Lin Kerou, and thought that he must have gone crazy.

Mu Donglin could no longer tell if it was a dream or reality.

historical

However, he knew very well that it was something he was capable of doing.

Mu Donglin said in a quiet and heavy voice as he looked at the girl, “Kerou, I’ve let you down. You deserve a better man. Find someone who loves you and live happily.”
