Chapter 319: Once He Treasured Her Like His Life 02_1

Some events happened so long ago that she was on the verge of forgetting them.

Things that should have been forgotten, but they occasionally float up from the depths of the soul.

Jin, look, the wild lilies on the mountain are blooming, shall we go and see?

Good.

Jin, your leg is inconvenient, may I help you?

Good.

Jin…

At that time, no matter what she wanted or wished to do, his answer was always one word: good.

Anything she wanted, he was willing to give her.

Be it everything around him or himself.

But she never really asked for too much, even at a young age, she was always sensible.

Sensible, obedient, kind, innocent, that’s her.

In the darkest days of his life, she was the only sunshine in his life.

But when he thought he was about to fully embrace the light and hold all of her in his arms.

Her betrayal and ruthlessness stabbed him hard in the heart.

The wound, even now, seemed to have healed.

But only he knew that the wound was still bleeding, festering, in a place where no one could see!

That was a pain he would never forget for the rest of his life, even though a full year had passed, the memory was still fresh.

He, Dongfang Jin, the eldest son of the Dongfang Family.

Three years ago, in an accident, his leg was severely damaged.

Regardless of his leg or his heart, both were difficult to heal.

That period was the darkest time of his life.

He later went to a different house for recuperation, and the housekeeper sent two girls to take care of him.

Baili Xia was one of them, and the other was her foster father’s daughter, Lu Xuening.

Perhaps due to the leg injury, Dongfang Jin’s temper was particularly volatile during that time.

Because of this, Lu Xuening endured for a while but eventually, it was mostly Baili Xia taking care of him on her own.

She would go to school during the day, and as soon as school was over, she would immediately go to the Dongfang residence.

She would chat with him and eat with him.

At first, he would always be silent, often losing his temper with her.

But, Baili Xia’s patience was something that most people couldn’t match.

No matter how angry he got, she would always smile at him.

After he finished venting, she would ask him, Jin, are you hungry, thirsty?

Unknowingly, this sunny girl had settled in his heart.

Under Baili Xia’s care, Dongfang Jin began to be willing to accept treatment.

In two years, he miraculously recovered.

No one knew how important this girl was to him, or how much he liked her.

They never talked about love or said the word love because she was too young.

But their affection for each other was much deeper than most couples.

A year ago, Dongfang Jin finally began to take over the Dongfang family business again.

He planned to wait for her to go to university, marry her after she graduated.

Though he never told her these plans.

Their days were unspeakably sanguine and tranquil, until the day everything changed.

The day they went to sea was the start of Dongfang Jin’s lifelong nightmare.

That day, he had a few more drinks than usual because he was in a good mood.

While swimming, his recovered leg began to cramp severely.

In his panic, he grabbed onto Baili Xia who had a life ring.

Unexpectedly, Baili Xia not only refused to save him, but for her own safety, she kicked him back into the sea.

From that moment, his world fell into complete despair.

Only then did he see clearly the affection he held so dear.

Turned out, it was all just his wishful thinking.
