Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 525: Don’t Want to Lie

"I know you’ve had a really hard time lately, which is why I decided to be honest with you. But now, I’m truly left with no choice—I can’t stay with you anymore." Ji Yu had already said everything she wanted deep down, fully aware that the situation before her might be dire, but this was the only possible outcome.

"Gu Qixiao, you’ll understand why I made this decision, right?"

She actually didn’t want things to end up this terrible.

Gu Qixiao’s heart was in complete turmoil; he didn’t know how to stop her.

He only knew the circumstances had indeed reached a dead end. Opting for any other path would only make things worse for the both of them.

"Of course, I can understand your reasoning. Besides, I’m about to die soon anyway. I never planned to drag you down for a lifetime. If I do die, you should completely forget about me. That way, there will be nothing left between us."

Gu Qixiao sometimes even thought that perhaps his death might be the best outcome.

"You won’t die. I know you’re a strong person, and so many things have happened before without any accidents. How could something happen now?"

As Ji Yu said this, her heart filled with sourness.

She wasn’t sure whether she could convince Jiang Huai either.

"No matter what happens, I’ll never give up on you. The condition you’re in was caused by me, so I’ll definitely make sure you’re cured before anything else."

Jiang Huai had been acting somewhat frantic during this period, but he had still been diligently researching the cure. Perhaps he might actually succeed with it.

"Yu, I have no way out anymore, so please don’t push me to dwell on all these miserable things. I know my current situation is terrible."

He didn’t even have the will to live anymore. The only reason he was alive was to steal a few more glances at her.

Ji Yu caught onto the meaning behind his words and couldn’t help but feel anxious.

"How can you make such an easy conclusion? You’re still young; you could live for a long, long time."

She didn’t want to hear such words, and since there was this connection between them, she absolutely hoped he would live well and fully.

"Besides, even if you won’t think about yourself, you should consider your family. You have a child—have you forgotten?"

That child seemed unfamiliar to both of them, but his existence was undeniable. If they intended to abandon him, it would be impossible.

"You must think about this child carefully. He might have already forgotten about us during this period, but now you should spend more time with him."

As Ji Yu spoke of this, she let out a faint smile. "You’re a father now, which means you have a father’s responsibilities. Please don’t give up on your life at this moment."

"But I’m suffering so much." Gu Qixiao hadn’t felt anything like this in ages, and now his heart overflowed with despair. He had no idea what he could do to change the dire situation in front of him.

"There are times when I feel helpless too, wondering why I’ve ended up like this, enduring such pain."

Once, he had everything, but after the recent events, it felt as if he had lost it all.

"Whenever I think about how we were supposed to live happily together and were so close to getting married, my heart becomes overwhelmed with melancholy."

They had been on the cusp of happiness, yet one incident caused them to be temporarily torn apart.

"Ji Yu, are you really willing to give up on me?" When he brought up this matter, his gaze carried a trace of pleading.

"I don’t know what I should do; I only know the situation before me is messy. I just can’t face this matter." Ji Yu had always considered herself a strong person, but she chose to evade this issue, which made it all the more heartbreaking.

"Gu Qixiao, just act as if you’ve never known me. I understand you might feel powerless about much in your heart, but in this matter, I truly can’t do anything anymore. Treat our past memories as nothing but bubbles."

After all, neither of them remembered the past clearly, so leaving it behind might be the best resolution for those memories.

Gu Qixiao watched her as she was about to leave and struggled desperately to stand up.

Because he was so flustered, he fell from the bed to the ground.

Yet at this moment, he didn’t show any signs of feeling pain.

"Yu, please don’t leave me like this, okay? I know I may have done many things wrong, but every mistake was because I love you."

He feared that once they separated this time, there might never be another chance for them to meet again. Previously, they had agreed to stay out of each other’s lives as much as possible.

But how could people who love each other truly stay away from each other’s lives? Just like how it had been in the beginning.

"I can’t give up on you. Even if I die, I won’t want to let you go ever again." Gu Qixiao’s lips were stained with blood, making him appear utterly anguished.

Ji Yu, for all her coldness, couldn’t possibly remain indifferent seeing him like this.

"Gu Qixiao, you’re absolutely insane. How could you behave like this?" She genuinely didn’t know what else she could say.

"How could I be insane? I just want to win you back. I know what’s in your heart, which is why I’m acting so extreme at this moment. You can’t possibly leave me now."

He was desperately trying to find a sign of their love—like now, she could never bear to see him lying helplessly on the ground without helping him.

"We still love each other. See, you couldn’t bear to leave me in this state, right?" Gu Qixiao’s gaze carried a hint of pleading, but Ji Yu still shook her head.

"You should be fully aware that this is only because we can’t remember the past, which is why this is happening. Anyone else in your position, and I’d still help them."

Gu Qixiao didn’t believe her explanation. If that were the case, they wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

"Yu, every time you speak so resolutely, you still keep thinking about me." On this subject, he felt he had absolute grounds to speak.
