Chapter 790: She… Sacrificed Her Life to Save Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Chen slowly relaxed his tightly clenched fists and said hoarsely, “Lu Bai, I’m sorry.”

“Huh?”

Lu Bai could not understand immediately why Huo Chen would apologise to him. He looked at the man in confusion.

Nevertheless, it did not take him long to figure it or.

The look of guilt and regret on Huo Chen’s face told him everything. For a moment, his mind went blank.

Then, he heard something that shook him even more.

“Wen He, she…” Huo Chen spoke with difficulty, “… sacrificed her life to save me.”

After he said that, Lu Bai could not hear a ringing in his ear.

In the next moment, he attacked like a beast uncaged and threw a heavy punch on Huo Chen’s face that made the latter stumble a few steps back!

Before Huo Chen could react, Lu Bai got to him and grabbed him by the collar.

“Huo Chen, you b*stard!”

Lu Bai yelled with boiling rage.

He punched Huo Chen again until the man fell backward onto the sofa.

“Bai!”

Lu Zhaoyang cried at his sudden outburst and watched as Huo Chen endured the attack without fighting back.

She wanted to stop Lu Bai, but Huo Yunting pulled her back and kept her firmly behind him to keep her safe.

Huo Yunting frowned and made his move. He pulled Lu Bai by the wrist and forced the two men apart.

“Stop this!”

“…”

Lu Bai wanted to beat Huo Chen again, but could not break free of Huo Yunting’s grasp.

Huo Chen wiped away the blood that smeared the edge of his lips. He looked resigned.

“Yunting, don’t stop him.”

He deserved this.

“Huo Chen, you will tell me exactly what happened!”

Lu Bai growled after regaining some emotional control.

Huo Chen took a deep breath and then described to him in detail of what happened in the Golden Triangle.

After he was finished, Lu Bai sat down heavily and wrapped his head in his arms, keeping his face hidden from view. Then, he spoke up with a hoarse voice.

“Huo Chen, you’re a f*cking scoundrel… Wen He never would have gone to that crazy place if not for you, and what did you do? You failed to protect her! Even if you disregard her feelings for you, you should at least remember all the things she had done for you!”

“…”

Huo Chen felt a jolt of pain in his heart. He shook his head bitterly.

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m not the one you should be apologizing to!”

Lu Bai stood up abruptly. His eyes were red and his cheeks were gleaming with tears.

He glared hard at Huo Chen and chuckled coldly. “Wen He, that foolish girl, chose to die for you. I have nothing to say to that since it was her choice. But, Huo Chen, if you still have an ounce of good in you, never forget everything she had done for you!”

Huo Chen smiled bitterly.

He would never forget, not for the rest of his life.

Lu Bai walked out from the house. Lu Zhaoyang watched him leave with worried eyes and then looked at Huo Chen. She finally understood why his behavior was unusual.

She opened her mouth to offer some words of condolence, but could not find any.

“I’m fine.”

Huo Chen looked down and kept his emotions walled inside. His slender body rested on the sofa like a castle without a soul.

Lu Zhaoyang sighed quietly and looked at Huo Yunting with a silent question.

Her husband frowned and gently shook his head.

They had wanted to tell Huo Chen about old Mrs Huo’s passing.

It seemed that the news would have to wait.

Both of them did not linger at Huo Chen’s place to give him some space. Just before they stepped out of the living room, Lu Zhaoyang took one last look at Huo Chen.
