She looked at the puddle of blood in astonishment and shifted her gaze to his abdomen.However, the shirt underneath was concealed by his coat, and it was a black shirt. Even if the wound had reopened, it wouldn't be as noticeable as the white shirt he had changed out of in the villa.Apart from a faint hint of dampness, Rebecca couldn't tell how serious the wound was by just looking at it. Taking another look at David's complexion, he didn't appear to be seriously injured."What are you looking at, Becca?" David noticed her scrutiny and couldn't help but ask.Rebecca looked up and didn't hide her concerns. "I'm looking at where you're injured. How serious is it? It would be best if the wound were torn open, and you had a high fever from infection and died right here on the hill!"She cursed him with malicious words.David showed no signs of anger. Instead, he laughed even harder.He lazily said, "Let's see. Let's see if a scumbag like me will wander in this world for a thousand
However, David was badly injured. If she wanted to escape, she could have simply ignored his condition and taken the key from him.After all, David could barely stand up now. It required great determination and endurance. Hence, she could actually do whatever she wanted to him.If she still hated him, she could even randomly grab a branch from the tree and poke his wound a little harder.The reason the man dared to make such a request to Rebecca was because of her past four years of relationship with David. He chose to believe in her character.Moreover, he couldn't think of any other way at this moment.After listening to what Rebecca said, the man glanced at David again. He closed his eyes once more and decided to leave them behind.Whether he was going to look for medicine or simply looking for a way out of the hill as David instructed, he seemed to not care about that anymore.That was no longer his concern.After a few seconds of silence, the man looked at Rebecca with a p
"You have no regrets …" David repeated the words Rebecca said.He smiled and sighed, "Cool. You have no regrets."He suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was sharp and piercing, as if he had been pretending to be weak and vulnerable all this while.He stared at Rebecca. It seemed as if he hadn't given up on Rebecca. "Rebecca, if you are truly a kind person, why won't you let go of the past and forgive me? Is it because I haven't done enough in these four years, or is there something wrong with me? Tell me! Why is it that you can forgive everyone else in this world, but you can't forgive me?"He had exerted too much energy, and a metallic taste of blood spread in his mouth.Yet, even at this moment, he still didn't want to give up. He used the last bit of his strength to hold onto Rebecca's hand."Tell me why ..." said David.If she had just softened her attitude a little, they wouldn't have reached this point.Blood dripped on the back of Rebecca's hand and caused the dried blood
Rebecca's mind was completely blank. It was shutting down.She felt David gripping her wrist tightly and pressing the knife onto his own body. She had no strength left. She could not pull her hand away.She could feel the force of his hand. He was still pressing and twisting the knife into his flesh.She could feel the warmth of the blood flowing out of his body. It was trickling from her hand."David ..."Rebecca called out his name with her dry throat.David let out a faint chuckle and said, "Becca... I have taught you quite a lot in these four years. Let me teach you one more thing… Take revenge for yourself."Rebecca remained quiet."You said if you were to forgive, it would make it seem like you deserve everything you have suffered. But there's a saying in this world. Everything has a cost. I have paid you back everything, alright?"Rebecca still didn't utter a word.David, who didn't receive any response, continued to speak with a voice that gradually became lower.He
Struggling to accept David's death, the man who had momentarily regained composure once again succumbed to mournful wails. His wails echoed through the surroundings. It was reminiscent of a child who had lost their beloved candy. However, Rebecca didn't remain silent. She said calmly, "Life is fleeting, and mourning is inevitable. If you don't mind the trouble, burying him here would be a fitting resting place." If they found it burdensome, they could simply lay him to rest on the spot. They could cover the body with dense pine needles and vegetation. At the very least, it would give him some dignity. In this remote and sparsely populated deep forest, any potential growth of pathogenic bacteria was unlikely to spread. As for whether his body decomposed naturally or became prey for wolves and other predators in the dense forest, that was beyond her consideration. Kane cried for a while. He sniffled as he looked at Rebecca. "Ms. Rebecca, Mr. Winston just passed away. Aren
David's Side Story: From the inception of his memories, David grasped one fundamental principle: emotions were the most burdensome aspect of this world. Adhering to his own life principles, he embarked on navigating the intricacies of human existence after assuming the management rights of the Winston Group from Mr. Winston Senior. As he had grown up amidst death, his mindset differed from those who had grown up in well-lit classrooms in his home country. He couldn't fathom those men and women who shed tears over love, nor did he comprehend the pursuit of parental approval by engaging in activities they disliked. He had witnessed countless disputes and even bloodshed over interests and money. He had witnessed a mother, who was on the brink of death, shield her child in her arms while enduring all the pain herself. He also witnessed instances where individuals sent their children away for a morsel of food. He had known of a mother who endured inappropriate behavior in nigh
Rebecca was already abroad when David received updates about her. Jessica had made David deploy a subordinate to keep Rebecca abroad. At the time, David found the situation amusing. He couldn't comprehend how everyone's attention was always on Daniel.Even the two elderly grandpas of the Winston family did the same. One threatened David with a rebellious and immature matter. Meanwhile, the other gave everything to train David. He even prevented David from interacting with Rebecca, whom he saw as a scourge. This grandpa even used his many years of raising Daniel as leverage to force Daniel into marrying Rebecca.Unfortunately, the old fart never could've imagined Daniel would be resistant toward Rebecca. So what if Daniel and Rebecca were childhood friends?Rebecca didn't matter to Daniel. Instead, he valued Jessica, who had suddenly reunited with the Brown family. She was horrid and always pretended to be pitiful for attention.However, David was content and felt more at
As David expected, Rebecca gave off an entirely different energy than two years ago when she couldn't even afford meals.Rebecca's head always hung low back then, but there was a brightness in her eyes now. She would never again devote herself to David's incompetent little brother like before.Yet, David felt slightly disappointed in her because she was still the same tamed sheep. Although she now wore a defensive armor over her heart, she still couldn't change her meek nature.Rebecca was still shaking and nervous when punishing others that wronged her. She did the same to Jessica, who had paid others to cause trouble.David did what Jessica asked of him, but he did it half-heartedly, like when he was abroad. He fulfilled her task without doing exactly what she wanted. After all, how could he kill someone when they lived in a lawful society?He felt that scaring Rebecca was enough. Little did he expect Jessica to have other plans. She paid someone to defame Rebecca when the lat
